Paladin Energy Ltd: Positive Drilling Results, Michelin Project,
Labrador
PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA--(Marketwired - May 7, 2014) - Paladin
Energy Ltd (TSX: PDN)(ASX: PDN) ("Paladin" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce the successful completion of the winter infill
drilling programme at the Michelin deposit in Labrador, Canada
confirming both the robust nature and high grade of this deposit.
During this programme, 13 drill holes for 3,871m were completed
from seven drill platforms at Michelin. The drill programme was
planned to increase mineral resource confidence in a number of
under drilled areas as well as target potential small increases in
mineral resource size by better defining the geological model. A
number of the platforms used had previously been positioned during
the 2013 summer season to speed up the drill re-location process
and minimise rig movement costs. The drilling was successful in
further defining the extensive mineralisation at the Michelin
deposit with all 13 holes intersecting mineralisation, 6 returning
significant intersections and infilling a number of key data voids
within the Mineral Resource estimate. The results from this
programme have underlined the quality of the Michelin deposit and
its significance within the Central Mineral belt of Labrador.
Selected significant results from the drilling are presented
below with all results detailed in the additional information
attached to this announcement.

The results from this drilling will be incorporated into an
upcoming Mineral Resource estimate update expected during the
second quarter. From work already completed using data from the
2012 and 2013 drilling campaigns it is expected that there will be
a significant improvement to the current mineral resource
classification as well as a small increase in total mineral
resource.
In addition, two holes for 561m were drilled at the Rainbow
deposit located approximately 3km south of the Michelin deposit.
The current Rainbow mineral resource is relatively small and the
drill programme was targeted at potential depth extensions.
Unfortunately neither of these holes intersected the targeted
mineralisation.
In conjunction with the drilling outlined above, during the
winter campaign additional coverage was added to the regional
ground magnetic survey. The results from this survey will be used
to define additional exploration targets in the vicinity of the
Michelin deposit and these will be included in drill planning for
the next winter programme. The current magnetic image for the
Michelin-Rainbow trend is shown in the additional information
attached. The highly prospective Michelin-Rainbow trend, as
outlined in the image, includes numerous radiometric anomalies and
prospects identified through geological mapping and prospecting as
well as limited scout drilling.
