================================================== ====================
Mining Begins Today At Iron Mountain
================================================== =====================
Salt Lake City, Utah, September 11, 2008. Palladon Ventures Ltd.
("Company") (TSX.V: PLL) (Frankfurt: PV-1) through its subsidiary,
Palladon Iron Corporation, resumed mining operations today at the Iron
Bull Mining & Milling facility at Iron Mountain, Utah. The historic
mine has produced over 80,000,000 tons of material since 1853, but has
not been actively mined since 1996.
Blasting and mining began today as the Iron Mountain site went into
full operation. The first run-of-mine iron ore to be sent to China was
mined from benches 6350 and 6400 and moved to the crusher pad. Mining
operations are currently at approximately 5,000 tons per day. This
production will increase to approximately 6,000 tons per day as we
reach full production in the next four weeks. This newly-mined material
will be used to replenish the current stockpile, which will be
maintained at 130,000 tons.
For weekly updates on the progress at Iron Mountain, please refer to

Property acquired: Palladon Iron Corporation has purchased
approximately 27 acres of property adjacent to the mine and waste
dumps. The property includes two residential buildings which serve as
the mine offices as well as a garage.

"This is a historic day for Palladon Iron as we have resumed the mining
of ore at Iron Mountain. After spending the last few years working to

back into Iron County, Utah," said Donald G. Foot Jr., President and
