VANCOUVER, 02/09/12 - Palladon Ventures Ltd. ('Palladon' or the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE: PLL) announces that it has amended the terms of an agreement dated May 9, 2006 with Invenio Resources Corp. on the Green Springs project located in Nevada and on the Kings Canyon project located in Utah.

Invenio will maintain its option on the Green Springs project, and will be required to complete US$2.5 million of work expenditures by May 2015 in order to earn a 60% undivided interest in the project. The first year commitment is $500,000 to be spent by May 2013, with an additional $750,000 of expenditures to be incurred by May 2014 and a further $1.25 million to be spent by May 2015.

At the Kings Canyon project, Invenio currently has an option from Kinross Gold with the right to earn a 100% interest in 21 claims that is exclusive of Invenio's 2006 agreement with Palladon on the adjacent Kings Canyon property. Invenio and Palladon have agreed to combine both properties for sale or option to a third party. Either way, Invenio and Palladon will participate on a 50/50 basis.
