PRESS RELEASE 
Public Joint Stock Company «Mining and Metallurgical Company «NORILSK NICKEL» (PJSC "MMC "Norilsk Nickel", "Nornickel" 
or the "Company") 
 
NORNICKEL'S PALLADIUM FUND LAUNCHES FIRST NICKEL AND COPPER ETCS ON LSE 
Moscow, June 17, 2021 - Nornickel, the world's largest producer of palladium and high-grade nickel and a major producer 
of platinum and copper, announces that the Global Palladium Fund (GPF), founded by Nornickel, has launched Exchange 
Traded Commodities (ETC) for nickel and copper on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) giving markets unique access to 
low-cost base metals investment opportunities. 
The ETCs are attractively priced with the annual total expense ratios (TERs) of 0.85% for the copper ETC and 0.75% for 
the nickel ETC, making them the most cost-effective way for European-based investors to achieve exposure to the metals 
through an exchange-traded product as they seek to take advantage of the energy transition trend. 
The listings follow the launch of GPF's physically backed, low-cost gold, silver, platinum and palladium ETCs at the 
beginning of 2021. All six physically backed metal Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs) list today on Borsa Italiana - 
the largest listing of its kind in over a decade. 
GPF is the first ETC issuer to use Blockchain technology to provide investors with enhanced transparency and security 
in their metal ETCs by recording bar information into distributed ledger technology. The new nickel and copper ETCs 
will track the respective LME cash prices. The metal backing GPF ETCs is stored in secure warehouses in Rotterdam. 
To strengthen ETC investor security, GPF uses IBM's Hyperledger Blockchain in the custody chain of the metal. By 
recording bar and cathode information on the blockchain, it provides clear ownership and an immutable custody chain for 
investors using the ETCs. 
Anton Berlin, Nornickel Vice President, Sales and Distribution, commented: "We are excited to announce the launch of 
the GPF's new ETCs - the first physically backed nickel and copper exchange traded products to see the light of day. 
The new digital instruments is a great opportunity for investors to benefit from the rising demand for the base metals 
as the world is setting on the path towards a greener future." 
Alexander Stoyanov, Chief Executive Officer of the Global Palladium Fund, commented: "GPF is committed to democratising 
investment in precious and base metals.  The new physical copper and nickel ETCs benefit from our low pricing, enhanced 
transparency and security and sustainable supply source."
