North American Palladium is one of two palladium producers in North America, and its stock has dropped below $1 share. It is currently unprofitable, but moving in the right direction - having sold its gold mines at top dollar before gold tanked.
This article has a lot of good info on palladium mining and prices. http://seekingalpha.com/article/1925841-north-american-palladium-likely-a-mu lti-bagger?source=email_authors_alerts&ifp=0 The average ore has only 4.5 grams per ton of rock. No wonder the average price is expected to be $710/oz in 2014 but it could go over $900 by some estimates. In actual testing of hydrogen loading - Ahern found that an alloy of 5% Pd in 95%nickel loads considerably more hydrogen than pure palladium (greater than 1:1). However, with hydrogen (as opposed to deuterium) there was NOT a good correlation between loading and excess heat. With deuterium and palladium there is apparently an excellent correlation between D loading and excess heat. Once again, this is a strong clue that leads to the inescapable conclusion that there are several gainful reactions going-on in hydrogen loaded metals, and the gainful reactions of hydrogen are very different from that of deuterium.
