Democrat Abigail Spanberger defeated Republican Winsome Earle-Sears to win the Virginia governor’s race, tallying significant leads among reliable Democratic groups while capitalizing on economic worries and the deep unpopularity of President Donald Trump in the state.

Spanberger will be the first woman to hold the office in the Old Dominion State.

The former Virginia congresswoman replaces term-limited Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin, who was the first Republican to win a statewide election in Virginia in 12 years when he was elected in 2021. That race surprised many in that it was much closer than the 2020 presidential race the year before, where Biden defeated Trump by 10 points. This year it was the other way around, with Spanberger well exceeding the 2024 presidential margin that saw Harris over Trump by only six points.

Trump was undoubtedly a factor in the race, even though he wasn’t on the ballot. Close to six in ten Virginia voters disapproved of the job he is doing, while more than half said they strongly disapprove. The vast majority of these voters backed Spanberger.

Two-thirds of Spanberger supporters said their vote was expressly to show opposition to the president. That compares to about one-third of those backing current Lt. Governor Earle-Sears who said theirs was to show support.

Aside from those sending a signal of opposition to Trump, Spanberger’s strong appeal to Black voters, college graduates and the young was more than enough to offset Earle-Sears’ strength among White men, White evangelicals and those with no college degree, according to near-final data from the Fox News Voter Poll, a survey of more than 4,000 Virginia voters.

Not even the prospect of voting for the first Black woman governor of any state seemed to move Black voters, who backed Spanberger by about a nine to one margin.

Spanberger also benefited from a significant gender gap. Indeed, 65% of women backed her compared to 35% for Earle-Sears, a 30-point advantage; and men supported Earle-Sears by 4 points (48% for Spanberger, 52% Earle-Sears) – leaving a gender gap of 34 points, one of the largest in recent memory.

Neither party is very popular in the state, half of voters said they have an unfavorable opinion of Democrats, and more than half felt that way about Republicans.

Between the two candidates, however, Spanberger garnered a net-positive rating – more than half had a favorable opinion of her – compared to Sears, and more than half viewed her unfavorably.

Voters continue to be happy with Youngkin. More than half approved of the job he is doing as governor.

The top characteristic Virginia voters wanted in a candidate was someone who shares their values, followed by someone who is honest and trustworthy.

Values voters broke for Earle-Sears while Spanberger carried those looking for honesty.

Spanberger focused heavily on the economy during the campaign, specifically banging home the deleterious effects that Trump administration efforts to upend government in DC are having on Virginia, home to a large number of federal workers.

More than six in ten of those federal employees backed Spanberger.

The economy was by far the top issue for Virginia voters – with close to half ranking it as the most important. Those voters broke significantly for Spanberger.

Healthcare was the second most important concern – another issue Spanberger hit hard in the wake of the federal government shutdown and people facing the possible loss of health benefits.

Those voters who said healthcare was their number one issue went overwhelmingly for Spanberger – by about four to one.

Overall, Virginia voters – about six in ten – think the economy is doing pretty well. Those voters backed Earle-Sears.

But when it comes to their own family’s finances, most said they were either holding steady or falling behind. Both of those groups went for Spanberger.

And of the six in ten voters who said the federal budget cuts had affected their family finances, they backed Spanberger as well.

Two issues that got significant attention from Earle-Sears in the campaign were controversies about trans rights, and the disclosure of violent texts from the Democratic candidate for Attorney General.

Fewer than half of voters found the texts sent by Democrat Jay Jones, threatening a fellow lawmaker, disqualifying from the job of attorney general. Those who did broke strongly for Earle-Sears.

The rest, though – who said the texts were concerning but not disqualifying, were not a concern, or who simply didn’t know enough – went strongly for Spanberger.

It was suspected that some voters might split their votes, backing Spanberger for governor but Republican Jason Miyares for attorney general. That did not happen. Those Democrats defecting to Miyares remained in the single digits, and Jones was declared the winner.

On transgender rights, voters have mixed views. Half said support has gone too far – the position Earle-Sears took, with special emphasis on its effect on schools and girls’ sports. The other half, however, said support has not gone far enough, or it’s been about right.

Those who said it’d gone too far backed Earle-Sears by almost four to one, while those who disagreed went hard for Spanberger.

In the end, the headwinds of Trump’s unpopularity and the ire of the vast number of federal workers in the state was too much for Earle-Sears to overcome.

Only about a third of Virginia voters are happy with the direction the country is going, and while these voters overwhelmingly backed Earle-Sears, the other two-thirds went big for Spanberger. Of the four in ten who are actually angry about how things are going, almost all of them – more than nine in ten – backed Spanberger.

Asked about Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts, more than half say it has gone too far, and, perhaps not surprisingly, most of these voters backed Spanberger.

Almost all Democrats voted for Spanberger, as did a few Republicans. Earle-Sears was unable to generate any sort of crossover appeal, while winning most Republicans. The small group of independents favored Spanberger.

The Fox News Voter Poll is based on a survey conducted by SSRS with Virginia registered voters. This survey was conducted October 22 to November 4, 2025, concluding at the end of voting on Election Day. The poll combines data collected from registered voters online and by telephone with data collected in-person from Election Day voters at 30 precincts per state/city. In the final step, all the pre-election survey respondents and Election Day exit poll respondents are combined by adjusting the share of voting mode (absentee, early-in-person, and Election Day) based on the estimated composition of the state/city’s final electorate. Once votes are counted, the survey results are also weighted to match the overall results in each state. Results among more than 4,500 Virginia voters interviewed have an estimated margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.1 percentage points, including the design effects. The error margin is larger among subgroups.

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) – Red Mountain Mining Limited (ASX:RMX) (OTCMKTS:RMXFF), a Critical Minerals exploration and development company with active projects in Tier-1 Mining Districts in the United States and Australia, has announced the Company’s advanced progression towards a US Stock Exchange listing.

HIGHLIGHTS

– Red Mountain Mining has recently appointed a highly regarded US-based markets advisory team and is in the final stages of confirming a US Stock Market listing on the OTCQB under the US Stock Code ‘RMXFF’

– In 2024, over US$478 billion (AU$732 billion) in liquidity and volume flowed through the United States OTC Markets Group’s exchanges

– Red Mountain has secured multiple US antimony assets in Tier-1 mining districts since mid September 2025, with projects located adjacent to high value, major Antimony projects, including Perpetua Resources’ (NASDAQ:PPTA) Stibnite Project in Idaho and Trigg Minerals’ (ASX:TMG) Antimony Canyon Project in Utah

– Red Mountain has also made significant progress at its Armidale Antimony-Gold Project in the New England Orogen in New South Wales, the location of Larvotto Resources’ (ASX:LRV) Hillgrove project, which is Australia’s largest Antimony deposit and the target of a recent acquisition proposal by United States Antimony Corporation (NYSE:UAMY)

– Following highly encouraging inbound interest received from several US investment banks, the Red Mountain Board believes the planned US Stock Market listing provides a series of value accretive opportunities including:

o Providing US retail and institutional investors direct access to invest and trade in the Company’s shares on the OTCQB under the US Stock Code ‘RMXFF’

o Positioning RMXFF alongside US peers in the critical minerals sector, potentially further improving valuation metrics and attracting specialised US resources investors

o Improving Red Mountain’s current strong strategic alignment with the US Government’s dramatic push to secure a domestic supply of critical minerals, and better positioning the Company to benefit from strong US Federal financial support for critical mineral projects targeting antimony

– Red Mountain expects to confirm the ‘RMXFF’ listing date by next week

Red Mountain has recently appointed its US-based markets advisory team and is in the final stages of confirming a US Stock Market listing on the OTCQB under the US Stock Code ‘RMXFF’. Since mid-September 2025, Red Mountain has pursued an aggressive acquisition strategy, securing three US antimony assets in Tier-1 mining districts since mid-September 2025, with projects located adjacent to high value, major antimony projects, including Perpetua Resources’ (NASDAQ:PPTA) Stibnite Project in Idaho and Trigg Minerals’ (ASX:TMG) Antimony Canyon Project in Utah.

RMX has also made significant progress during 2025 within its Armidale Antimony-Gold Project in the New England Orogen in New South Wales, by demonstrating high-grade orogenic antimony mineralisation with associated gold at multiple prospects. RMX’s project hosts a similar style of mineralisation and is located within the same prospective geological province as of Larvotto Resources’ (ASX:LRV) (A$540m market cap) Hillgrove project, which is Australia’s largest Antimony deposit and the target of a recent acquisition proposal by United States Antimony Corporation (NYSE:UAMY) (A$1.5b market cap.).

US Government focused on building domestic Antimony supply

Presently, about 90% of global antimony production is controlled by China, Russia, and Tajikistan, which is creating significant supply risks for Western nations such as Australia and the US. Both countries currently have no producing antimony mines, despite the metal’s critical role in defence applications, including armament manufacture and semiconductor technologies. With China’s current export ban creating acute supply shortages and the antimony price recently reaching US$60,000 per tonne, the US Government has issued emergency declarations and mobilised unprecedented funding for domestic production.

The majority of the available US Federal funding is being directed under White House led initiatives and includes opportunities such as:

– The Export-Import Bank (EXIM) Supply Chain Resiliency Initiative (SCRI), which will provide financing for international projects with signed long-term ‘off-take’ contracts with U.S. companies, providing these U.S. companies with access to critical minerals from partner countries.

– EXIM’s China and Transformational Exports Program (CTEP), which provides funding in strategic sectors like critical minerals to support American companies in projects that might otherwise be lost to China, aligning with the U.S.’s broader goals to boost supply chain resilience and national economic competitiveness.

– Defense Production Act Title III funding for strategic materials, which partners with U.S. private industry to mitigate gaps in the domestic supply chain through the use of grants, purchase commitments, loans, or loan guarantees.

An indication of the potential level of investment available to high quality projects is demonstrated by Locksley Resources’ (ASX:LKY,OTC:LKYRF) announcement this week that it had secured a Letter of Interest from EXIM indicating potential financing support of up to US$191 million for Locksley’s Mojave Antimony-REE Project in California.

On 21 October, the US President and Australian Prime Minister executed a Critical Minerals Framework agreement, through which the two governments have committed to spend at least US$1 billion each in the next six months as direct investment into a pipeline of critical minerals projects in in the US and Australia.

EXIM has also partnered with Export Finance Australia (EFA), to establish a streamlined pathway for businesses to approach both agencies and enable faster referrals and joint financing of eligible critical mineral transactions, known as the Single Point of Entry. Through this agreement, US and Australian businesses may now approach either EXIM or EFA and will receive streamlined access to both agencies’ financing support.

Red Mountain is already well placed to respond to these opportunities through continued successful progression of the Armidale Antimony-Gold Project, rapid exploration of three recently acquired highly prospective antimony-gold projects in Utah and Idaho, USA, and planned additional US antimony projects currently under consideration for acquisition. The Board strongly believes that the Company’s US Stock Market listing will provide Red Mountain with increased visibility to specialised US resources investors and provide a strong platform to directly benefit from US Federal financial support for critical mineral projects targeting antimony.

Red Mountain Utah Antimony Project, USA

In September, Red Mountain announced the acquisition of 87 claims within the Antimony Mining district east of the town of Antimony, Utah, USA. The Antimony Mining district was discovered in 1879 and produced high-grade Sb ores from multiple small-scale mines from 1880 to about 1908 and intermittently into the 1960s. RMX’s claims lie immediately along strike to the north and south of Trigg Minerals’ (ASX:TMG) Antimony Canyon Project (Figure 1*), which includes more than 30 small historical mine workings surrounding both Antimony Canyon and Drywash Canyon, approximately 6km north of the main prospect.

Antimony Mining District – Antimony Mineralisation

Antimony mineralisation within the Antimony Mining district is related to an approximately northsouth trending fault system, which is interpreted to represent fault splays related to the Paunsaugunt Fault. These faults are thought to have provided pathways for hydrothermal fluids from nearby volcanic centres to migrate upward towards favourable stratigraphic horizons, where antimony typically occurs as stibnite veins and stockwork zones sub-parallel to flat-lying stratigraphy. The dominant host for mineralisation at Antimony Canyon and Drywash Canyon is the Early Palaeocene Flagstaff Formation, which comprises carbonate-rich fluvial sandstone and conglomerate, with TMG’s recent exploration concluding that a brittle felsic volcaniclastic horizon within the Formation is the most prospective host unit, but that mineralisation is present at multiple stratigraphic levels, implying potential for both laterally and vertically extensive mineralisation. Channel sampling within and adjacent to historical workings by TMG at Antimony Canyon and Drywash Canyon delivered multiple samples with antimony contents in excess of 10% Sb and a best result of 1.5m at 33.2% Sbfrom the Stebenite Mine in Antimony Canyon.

Antimony Canyon and Drywash Canyon represent two eroded windows into the Flagstaff Formation through a thin (interpreted to be mostly <20m thick), but laterally extensive blanket of Quarternary alluvial and colluvial sedimentary cover (Figure 1*). However, north-south trending faults that provide fluid conduits for antimony-rich mineralising fluids and the Flagstaff Formation host stratigraphy are interpreted to extend beneath the Quaternary cover and into RMX’s tenements. RMX therefore believes that our Utah Antimony Project has high potential for discovery similar mineralisation to that seen at Antimony Canyon and Drywash Canyon.

Red Mountain Yellow Pine Antimony Project, Idaho, USA

In September, Red Mountain announced the acquisition of 29 claims, less than 2km southwest of Perpetua Resources’ (NASDAQ:PPTA) (TSE:PPTA) Stibnite Gold-Antimony Project in central Idaho, USA.

RMX’s Yellow Pine Antimony Project (Figure 2*) is located within the Stibnite Mining District, which was a major source of antimony in the first half of the 20th Century. Recorded production from the Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats deposits between 1932 and 1952 totalled 39,930 tonnes of Antimony.

These two deposits and the West End Deposit, which produced gold and silver from 1978 to 1997, collectively comprise the Proven and Probable Reserve of 104 Mt @ 1.33g/t Au and 0.06% Sb for 4.8Moz Au and 148Mlbs Sb for Perpetua’s Stibnite Project, which is the largest known antimony deposit in the USA. The rich endowment and exploration potential of the Stibnite District has also been recognised by Resolution Minerals (ASX:RML), whose Horse Heaven Antimony Project lies immediately west of Perpetua’s claims and approximately 5km north of RMX’s project area.

Antimony-gold-tungsten mineralisation in the Stibnite Mineral District

Antimony-gold-tungsten mineralisation in the Stibnite Mining District is structurally controlled along early Tertiary north-south striking regional scale faults and smaller northeast-striking splays and is hosted in the Cretaceous granitoids of the Idaho Batholith and adjacent Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic metasedimentary roof pendant rocks (Gillerman et al., 1992).

2017 geological mapping by the Idaho Geological Survey shows that RMX’s claims feature similar prospective geology to that seen within the Perpetua Resources’ Stibnite Project area, with folded Ordovician to Cambrian metasediments intruded by Idaho Batholith granite and cut by a major NNE trending Tertiary fault, with associated tectonic brecciation and evidence of historical small-scale mining activity (Figure 3*).

There is no evidence of modern exploration activity within RMX’s claims. However, reconnaissance mapping by RMX’s field crew has confirmed the presence of tectonic breccias within quartzite associated with the main NNE-trending fault (Figure 3*), which indicates that hydrothermal fluid circulation occurred along the structure. Red Mountain geologists also successfully located the two eastern historical workings mapped by the Idaho Geological Survey, which are small shallow pits that appear to be targeting brecciated quartz veins, most likely seeking gold and/or antimony.

Red Mountain Silver Dollar Antimony Project, Idaho, USA

In October, Red Mountain announced the acquisition of a further claims in central Idaho, covering 2 km2 with demonstrated historical antimony production. The Silver Dollar Antimony Project lies approximately 75km southeast of both RMX’s Yellow Pine Antimony Project, and Perpetua Resources’ Stibnite Gold-Antimony Project.

RMX’s Silver Dollar claims encompass four known alluvial gold and two antimony mineral occurrences, including the Silver Dollar Mine (Figure 4*), which features a 10m deep shaft sunk into fractured granodiorite in 1944, targeting a massive stibnite vein up to 1m thick.

Choate (1962) concluded that there was significant untested potential remaining for additional antimony, gold, silver, uranium and possibly mercury mineralisation, which is likely to occur as pods or shoots where secondary structures intersect each other and the main NNE-striking fault that cuts RMX’s Silver Dollar claims. To RMX’s knowledge, there has been no exploration over the prospect subsequent to Choate’s assessment.

Red Mountain Armidale Antimony-Gold Project, New South Wales, Australia

During 2025, Red Mountain has demonstrated high-grade orogenic antimony mineralisation with associated gold at multiple prospects within the Company’s Armidale Antimony-Gold Project (EL9732) in the Southern New England Orogen (SNEO) of northeast New South Wales, by demonstrating highgrade orogenic antimony mineralisation with associated gold at multiple prospects The SNEO is widely recognised as Australia’s premier antimony province, with 250 antimony mineral occurrences identified in the Geological Survey of NSW mineral occurrence database (Figure 5*).

Antimony occurs in hydrothermal quartz veins, breccias and stockworks, often with associated gold and/or tungsten mineralisation.

Red Mountain continues aggressive acquisition strategy

Red Mountain continues to aggressively seek further opportunities to expand its portfolio of high quality antimony projects in Tier 1 US mining jurisdictions, with a goal of building a portfolio of assets to leverage what is an unprecedented critical shortage of Western supply of the metal. Subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence, the Company expects to announce further highly prospective acquisition/s in the near term.

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) – Locksley Resources Limited (ASX:LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (FRA:X5L) (OTCMKTS:LKYRF) announced that it has entered a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Hazen Research Inc. a leading metallurgical processing provider, to formulate an agreement for toll processing of ore from Locksley’s Desert Antimony Mine in the United States.

HIGHLIGHTS

– Accelerates 100% U.S. Mine-to-Market Supply by establishing a scalable processing pathway to deliver American sourced and manufactured Antimony products to market

– Secures immediate processing capacity through a Tier 1 U.S. metallurgical and defence materials processing provider (Hazen Research Inc.)

– Advances key studies, including pilot plant design, commercial analysis and toll processing, supported by Rice University’s antimony processing research

– Produces representative product samples for qualification with U.S. industrial and defense off-takers, strengthening Locksley’s position as building a fully integrated, American sourced antimony supply chain, supported by EXIM and U.S. processing partnerships

– Engagement with Hazen Research Inc. supports U.S. government objectives to rebuild domestic critical minerals processing, aligning Locksley with White House and Department of Defense priorities for restoring American antimony production

This agreement provides a pathway to secure immediate processing capacity while pilot plant design, construction and associated commercial scale development studies continue concurrently.

The MoU provides a framework for cooperation on the following key operational workstreams:

– Validate process performance and recovery efficiency under semi-continuous or batch operating conditions

– Confirm metallurgical response and optimization of process parameters

– Generate representative product samples for chemical, physical, and environmental characterization

– Produce data to support the design criteria and economic evaluation for future pilot or commercial scale operations

– Toll treatment of ore during the ongoing pilot and commercial plant development phases

The execution of this MoU is aligned with the Company’s strategy to accelerate production timelines, de-risk early processing operations and advance the project toward commercialisation.

Danny George, COO of Locksley, commented:

‘We are pleased to formalise this MoU with Hazen Research Inc. after our recent collaboration casting a 100% American made ingot. This MoU represents an important step in de-risking our ore processing strategy and accelerating the path to revenue. By securing toll processing capacity in the United States, we can begin generating operational data and product while our pilot and commercial-scale plant development continues in parallel.

This approach allows us to maintain project momentum, optimise metallurgical performance, and provide early market supply, positioning the Company to deliver value to shareholders efficiently and safely. We look forward to working closely with Hazen Research Inc. as we progress towards full commercial operations. The U.S. Government’s clear prioritisation of domestic critical mineral production provides a strong backdrop for our accelerated execution. We are advancing with the right partners, the right timing and clear commercial intent.’

Advancing Multiple Concurrent Workstreams to Steady State Production

With successful validation of the 100% American made antimony ingot, as part of our execution strategy, Locksley Resources will now advance concurrent workstreams toward production, including toll processing, starter plant and commercial plant development.

Further to this, the Company’s executive team recently engaged in-person with U.S based Tier 1 engineering firms, EPCM contractors and execution partners to progress its project delivery strategy.

Concurrently with the toll production operation, the Company is also actively advancing the pilot/starter plant development, informed by the results of ongoing metallurgical test work.

These parallel workstreams are intended to accelerate the transition from pilot scale operations to commercial production, de-risking the development pathway and providing early operational insights to optimise future plant performance. This next phase will support offtake readiness and qualification for domestic supply contracts, further positioning Locksley as a pioneer in restoring America’s antimony production and processing capability.

The Company’s collaboration with Rice University continues in parallel, supporting the optimisation of hydrometallurgical extraction parameters and the development of antimony-based materials. Locksley’s Mojave Project represents one of the few known high-grade, primary antimony deposits located in continental U.S., offering a rapid path to production and a strategic alternative to Chinese controlled supply chains.

Next Steps:

The parties will now progress discussions to formalise definitive agreements for toll processing, with the aim of commencing operations in line with the project development schedule. With government backed financing, strategic U.S. processing partnerships with Hazen and Rice University, and a rapid development pathway in motion, Locksley is entering its most transformative phase. The Company is uniquely positioned to deliver one of the first fully American sourced antimony supply chains, advancing from mine validation to market readiness within an accelerated timeline.

About Locksley Resources Limited:

Locksley Resources Limited (ASX:LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (FRA:X5L) (OTCMKTS:LKYRF) is an ASX listed explorer focused on critical minerals in the United States of America. The Company is actively advancing exploration across two key assets: the Mojave Project in California, targeting rare earth elements (REEs) and antimony. Locksley Resources aims to generate shareholder value through strategic exploration, discovery and development in this highly prospective mineral region.

Mojave Project

Located in the Mojave Desert, California, the Mojave Project comprises over 250 claims across two contiguous prospect areas, namely, the North Block/Northeast Block and the El Campo Prospect. The North Block directly abuts claims held by MP Materials, while El Campo lies along strike of the Mountain Pass Mine and is enveloped by MP Materials’ claims, highlighting the strong geological continuity and exploration potential of the project area.

In addition to rare earths, the Mojave Project hosts the historic ‘Desert Antimony Mine’, which last operated in 1937. Despite the United States currently having no domestic antimony production, demand for the metal remains high due to its essential role in defense systems, semiconductors, and metal alloys. With significant surface sample results, the Desert Mine prospect represents one of the highest-grade known antimony occurrences in the U.S.

Locksley’s North American position is further strengthened by rising geopolitical urgency to diversify supply chains away from China, the global leader in both REE & antimony production. With its maiden drilling program planned, the Mojave Project is uniquely positioned to align with U.S. strategic objectives around critical mineral independence and economic security.

Tottenham Project

Locksley’s Australian portfolio comprises the advanced Tottenham Copper-Gold Project in New South Wales, focused on VMS-style mineralisation

About Sankamap Metals Inc.

Sankamap Metals Inc. (CSE: SCU) is a Canadian mineral exploration company dedicated to the discovery and development of high-grade copper and gold deposits through its flagship Oceania Project, located in the South Pacific. The Company’s fully permitted assets are strategically positioned in the Solomon Islands, along a prolific geological trend that hosts major copper-gold deposits; including Newcrest’s Lihir Mine, with a resource of 71.9 million ounces of gold¹ (310 Mt containing 23 Moz Au at 2.3 g/t P+P, 520 Mt containing 39 Moz Au at 2.3 g/t indicated, 81 Mt containing 5 Moz Au at 1.9 g/t measured, 61 Mt containing 4.9 Moz Au at 2.3 g/t Inferred).

Exploration is actively advancing at both the Kuma and Fauro properties, part of Sankamap’s Oceania Project in the Solomon Islands. Historical work has already highlighted the mineral potential of both sites, which lie along a highly prospective copper and gold-bearing trend, suggesting the possibility of further, yet-to-be-discovered deposits.

At Kuma, the property is believed to host an underexplored and largely untested porphyry copper-gold (Cu-Au) system. Historical rock chip sampling has returned consistently elevated gold values above 0.5 g/t Au, including a standout sample assaying 11.7% Cu and 13.5 g/t Au2; underscoring the area’s significant potential.

At Fauro, particularly at the Meriguna Target, historical trenching has returned highly encouraging results, including 8.0 meters at 27.95 g/t Au and 14.0 meters at 8.94 g/t Au3. Complementing these results are exceptional grab sample assays, including historical values of up to 173 g/t Au3, along with recent sampling by Sankamap at the Kiovakase Target, which returned numerous high-grade copper values, reaching up to 4.09% Cu. In addition, limited historical shallow drilling intersected 35.0 meters at 2.08 g/t Au3, further underscoring the property’s strong mineral potential and the merit for continued exploration. With a commitment to systematic exploration and a team of experienced professionals, Sankamap aims to unlock the untapped potential of underexplored regions and create substantial value for its shareholders.

Palladium is a lesser-known option for precious metals investors compared to gold and silver, but there are several avenues for investing in the platinum-group metal.

Recently, growing demand and a supply deficit and increased interest have driven interest in ways to invest in palladium. At the same time, precious metals such as gold, silver and the platinum group metals are seeing an influx of safe-haven buying.

Here’s an overview of different ways that market participants can invest in palladium, including profiles of palladium stocks, plus palladium ETFs, bullion and futures.

In this article

    What is palladium?

    Palladium is a silver-white precious metal that is ductile, durable and resistant to corrosion. The metal also has a high melting point. Its symbol on the periodic table of elements is Pd.

    Palladium is included in the platinum-group metals (PGMs) category, which also includes platinum, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium and osmium.

    What is palladium used for? Palladium’s biggest use is in catalytic converters in gasoline-powered vehicles as it converts pollutants like hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into water, carbon dioxide and more.

    Palladium demand trends

    Total palladium demand for 2025 is expected to come in at 9.63 million ounces, down about 4 percent from the previous year’s demand, according to the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC), which provides quarterly market overviews.

    Palladium’s four biggest demand sectors are automotive at 80.7 percent, industrial at 14.1 percent, investment at 2.9 percent and jewelry at 2.3 percent.

    In the automotive industry, palladium is used in catalytic converters for vehicle exhaust systems, especially for gasoline engines. High prices for the metal in the early 2020s led to its sister metal platinum being increasingly substituted for palladium.

    Demand from this sector is expected to decline by more than 4 percent year-on-year in 2025 to 7.74 million ounces as global auto sales and production are dropping during this period of economic uncertainty.

    Another important factor impacting this segment of the market is the growing market for electric vehicles (EVs), which do not require catalytic converters as they don’t create polluting emissions. The transition to electric is placing downward pressure on palladium demand from the auto sector. However, the slowdown in EV adoption worldwide is lessening the impact.

    Demand dynamics are shifting within the auto sector following the enactment of the Trump Administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill. Part of the legislation includes an end to EV tax credits that provided up to US$7,500 to consumers who purchased an EV.

    Palladium supply trends

    In top palladium country South Africa, there have been many mine disruptions in recent years, largely due to strikes, energy shortages and a lack of long-term investment in production facilities. Despite those risks, miners are still moving forward with palladium development in the region.

    Russia is the source of 39 percent of global mined palladium supply. The country’s war in Ukraine has placed it at the other end of the sanctions sword as the world’s leaders try to force President Vladimir Putin to end the bloodshed. In April 2022, bourses in London and Chicago suspended two state-owned Russian refiners from their goods-delivery and sponge-accreditation lists. The US and UK took further steps in 2024 to banned trading of refined Russian metals, including palladium, from exchanges.

    Despite a 4 percent decline year-over-year in palladium supply, the WPIC estimates that palladium is set to face supply deficits in 2025 and 2026. This is a continuation of an ongoing supply-demand imbalance in the palladium market. Mine supply of the metal is expected to decline by a compound annual growth rate of 1.1 percent from 2024 to 2029.

    In 2025, according to WPIC estimates, palladium supply will see a shortfall of 260,000 ounces of the metal, down significantly from the 689,000 ounce deficit recorded in the previous year.

    The market is expected to transition into a surplus in 2027. However, that outlook could change if the palladium recycling segment does not ramp up.

    “Notably, the forecast of palladium going into surplus is entirely contingent on recycling supply growth,” states the WPIC. “If this does not materialise then palladium could remain in a deficit for the foreseeable future, which could materially alter palladium value expectations.”

    How to invest in palladium

    Investors who want exposure to palladium’s market dynamics and the palladium price may be interested in investing in the metal. There are several ways to invest in palladium, including palladium mining stocks, PGM ETFs, palladium bars and coins, and palladium futures.

    Palladium stocks

    One option investors can use to gain exposure to palladium is investing in palladium mining stocks and junior exploration stocks. Investors can buy palladium stocks through stock brokers and online stock-trading platforms.

    Investing in primary palladium companies can be tricky, as most of the world’s palladium is produced as a by-product of platinum and nickel mines. However, companies with diversified exposure to metals can also provide protection during down markets for palladium with revenue from their other products.

    To help you learn about palladium stocks you can buy, we profile palladium miners and junior PGM exploration companies below.

    Major palladium mining stocks

    Eastern Platinum (TSX:ELR,OTC Pink:ELRFF)
    Eastern Platinum, or Eastplats, has a number of directly and indirectly owned PGM assets in the Bushveld Complex of South Africa. Eastplats is ramping up production of PGMs, including palladium, and chrome concentrates at Crocodile River’s new Zandfontein underground mine.

    Impala Platinum Holdings (OTCQX:IMPUF,JSE:IMP)
    Impala Platinum, or Implats, is one of the most prominent platinum and palladium mining companies in the world. The company has majority ownership or joint ventures in four PGM mining operations and a refining facility in South Africa’s Bushveld Complex, two PGM mining operations in Zimbabwe and the Lac des Iles PGM mine in Ontario, Canada.

    Sibanye Stillwater (NYSE:SBSW,JSE:SSW)
    Sibanye Stillwater is one of the world’s largest primary platinum and palladium producers, and its circular economy business model includes palladium recycling. The company has numerous PGM operations in South Africa and the US. Its US Stillwater and East Boulder operations are in Montana’s Stillwater Complex, the country’s largest source of PGMs.

    Valterra Platinum (LSE:VALT,JSE:VAL,OTC Pink:ANGPY)
    Valterra Platinum, formerly Amplats, is a leading primary producer of PGMs, supplying mined and recycled platinum products.

    Ramp Metals (TSXV:RAMP)
    Ramp Metals owns the Rottenstone SW and PLD projects in Saskatchewan, Canada. Rottenstone is situated adjacent to a northeast-southwest geological formation connected to the historic Rottenstone mine, which produced nickel, PGMs and gold, although Ramp is currently focused on gold and copper at the site.

    Palladium ETFs

    Palladium-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and products (ETPs) track the precious metal like an index fund, but trade like stocks on an exchange. These palladium and PGM ETFs allow US, Canadian and Australian investors access to the palladium price.

    Sprott Physical Platinum and Palladium Trust Unit (ARCA:SPPP,TSX:SPPP)
    The Sprott Physical Platinum and Palladium Trust ETF was created to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical palladium and platinum bullion. It currently holds over 155,000 ounces of palladium and over 235,000 ounces of platinum. The portfolio is held in custody at a federal crown corporation of the Canadian government.

    Aberdeen Standard Physical Palladium Shares (ARCA:PALL)
    The Aberdeen Standard Physical Palladium Shares is designed to track the performance of the palladium price, less expenses. It holds over 500,000 ounces of palladium in London at a secured vault belonging to JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM).

    Global X Physical Palladium Structured (ASX:ETPMPD)
    Global X Physical Palladium is an ASX-listed platinum ETP that provides Australian investors access to palladium held in JP Morgan storage facilities.

    Palladium bars and coins

    Another option for investing in palladium is by holding physical assets directly, such as bullion. In fact, financial investors may buy palladium bullion bars, palladium bullion coins or collectible palladium coins for portfolio growth. This approach may suit multiple kinds of investors, from those looking to invest small amounts of money in the metal to those with larger quantities of cash.

    Kitco’s online physical palladium market is an example of where investors can buy and sell palladium bars and palladium coins, and this option includes home delivery. Another option is BullionVault’s online palladium marketplace, which allows investors to trade palladium that is stored in vaults, although they do not get to physically hold their metals themselves.

    For more information on how to invest in precious metals coins and bullion, check out our guide on buying physical gold, as much of the advice also applies to physical palladium investing.

    Palladium futures

    Palladium futures, a derivative instrument tied directly to the price of the actual metal, are another key option.

    Palladium futures are available for trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), which is part of the CME Group. For more information on precious metals futures investing, see our guides to gold futures and silver futures.

    For investors unfamiliar with futures investing, futures are a financial contract between an investor and a seller, in which the investor agrees to purchase an asset from the seller at an agreed-upon price based on a date set in the future.

    Rather than owning physical metals themselves, investors speculating in the futures market are instead making bets on whether the price of a particular commodity will rise or fall in the near future.

    For example, if you buy a palladium futures contract believing the price of metal is set to rise, and your prediction proves correct, you could gain a return on your investment by selling the now more valuable futures contract before it expires.

    However, they’re not for novice investors, so be sure to do further research if you decide to use this investment method.
