harbor’ provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Canadian securities laws. The
words ‘expect’, ‘believe’, ‘will’, ‘intend’, ‘estimate’, ‘forecast’, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
Such statements include, without limitation, any information as to our future exploration, financial or operating
performance, including: the Company's forward looking production guidance, projected capital expenditures, operating
cost estimates, project timelines, mining and milling rates, the methods by which ore will be extracted, projected grades,
mill recoveries, and other statements that express management's expectations or estimates of future performance.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered
reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and
contingencies. The factors and assumptions contained in this press release, which may prove to be incorrect, include, but
are not limited to: metal prices assumptions, Canadian and U.S. dollar exchange rate assumptions, that there will be no
significant disruptions affecting operations, that prices for key mining and construction supplies, including labour and
transportation costs, will remain consistent with the Company's expectations, that the Company's current estimates of
mineral reserves and resources are accurate, and that there are no material delays in the timing of ongoing development
projects. The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. The Company cautions the reader
that such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks that may cause the actual results to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to: the
possibility that metal prices, foreign exchange rates or operating costs may differ from management's expectations,
uncertainty of mineral reserves and resources, inherent risks associated with mining and processing, the risk that the Lac des
Iles mine may not perform as planned and that the Offset Zone and other properties may not be successfully developed,
and uncertainty of the ability of the Company to obtain financing. For more details on the factors, assumptions and risks
see the Company's most recent Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or

NAP’s Investment
• Clear Growth Strategy to Increase Production & Lower Cash Costs
LDI mine expansion offers production growth with a decreasing cash cost profile and
expanding operating margins
• Leverage to Rising Palladium Prices
As one of only two primary palladium producers in the world, LDI is uniquely positioned to
benefit from the positive supply & demand fundamentals (driven by constrained mine
supply & rising global vehicle production)
• Attractive PGM Investment Jurisdiction
Compared to South African peers, NAP operates in a stable political landscape, with low
geopolitical risk and moderate cost inflation
• Significant Development & Exploration Upside
Upside complimented by excess mill capacity, existing infrastructure & permits, which gives
NAP potential to convert exploration success into production and cash flow on an
accelerated timeline
• Operational Expertise Reduces Operating Risk

• Located north of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada
• One of only two primary palladium producers in the world
• Deposit is unique in the world: high palladium concentration,
broadly disseminated mineralization vs. narrow vein
• Established palladium producer since 1993
• Currently undergoing an expansion to increase production
and reduce cash costs per ounce
• 15,000 tpd mill has excess capacity available for production growth (currently operating at
35% capacity)

LDI Mine Expansion
• Approx. $328.2 M spent to date on mine expansion
(Q4, 2010 – Q3, 2013)
• Phase I development in 2013 includes:
o Sinking a shaft to the 825-metre level to transition
underground operations from mining via ramp to
mining via shaft
o Setting up underground infrastructure to mine the
Offset Zone using a high volume bulk mining
method (long-hole stoping with primary &
secondary stoping blocks) - this includes
expanding the ramp, building new mine levels,
and setting up mining stopes
• Through the utilization of the shaft & bulk mining
method, operations are expected to benefit from
increased mining rates & decreased operating costs
• Targeting production via shaft by end of Q3, 2013
PLAN FOR GROWTH

LDI Mine Expansion
Recent development highlights:
 Shaft sinking progressing on schedule:
 Currently at a an approximate
depth of 695 m below surface (84%
completed of the total 825 m
planned for Phase I)
 Production hoist is fully operational &
installation of the main skip dump is in
progress
 First Offset Zone stope has been mined
out; production commenced in second
stope
RECENT UPDATE
 Development of additional mining stopes
experienced delays in Q1, but is in progress

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning
• Mineral reserves and mineral resources have been calculated in accordance with National Instrument
43-101 as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. For United States reporting purposes,
Industry Guide 7, (under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934), as interpreted by Staff of the Securities
Exchange Commission (SEC), applies different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. In
addition, while the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources are required pursuant
to National Instrument 43-101, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize such
terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC, and mineral resource
information contained herein is not comparable to similar information regarding mineral reserves
disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. U.S.
investors should understand that “inferred” mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to
their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In addition, U.S. investors
are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of NAP's mineral resources constitute or will be
converted into reserves. For a more detailed description of the key assumptions, parameters and
methods used in calculating NAP’s mineral reserves and mineral resources, see NAP’s most recent Annual
Information Form/Form 40-F on file with Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities and the SEC.
• Please refer to North American Palladium’s most current Annual Information Form and applicable
technical reports available on www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and www.nap.com for further information.

LDI Reserves & Resources
Notes:
1. Prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and the CIM classification system.
2. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may
be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. Mineral
resources are exclusive of the mineral reserves.
3. The mineral resource for the Offset Zone was estimated as of June 30, 2012 by Todd McCracken, P.Geo, of Tetra Tech, an independent
QP under NI 43-101. The effective date of the resource is March 31, 2012. The mineral resource calculation uses a minimum 2.5 g/t
palladium resource block cut-off. The mineral resource estimate is based on the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics, and
conventional block modelling (5 m by 5 m by 5 m blocks). Assay grade capping was determined not to be necessary. The Offset Zone
resource models used the ordinary kriging (OK) grade interpolation method within a 3Dl block model with mineralized zones defined by
wireframed solids. The quality assurance (QA)/quality control (QC) protocols and corresponding sample preparation and shipment
procedures for the Offset Zone have been reviewed by Tetra Tech. The following metal price assumptions were used: US$675/oz
palladium, US$1,675/oz platinum, US$1,750/oz gold, US$8.00/lb nickel, and US$3.50/lb copper. A US$/CDN$ exchange rate of US$1.00 =
CDN$1.00 was also applied.
4. Mineral reserves for the Offset Zone were estimated by Todd McCracken, P. Geo.; William Richard McBride, P.Eng.; Todd Kanhai, P.Eng.;
and Philip Bridson, P.Eng. of Tetra Tech, independent QPs within the meaning of NI 43-101. The mineral reserves were estimated from
drilling completed to March 31, 2012. Reserves were estimated to the 990 Mine Level (4,490 m elevation), a maximum depth of 1,017.5
m. The following metal price assumptions were used for reserves estimation: US$675/oz palladium, US$1,675/oz platinum, US$1,750/oz
gold, US$8.00/lb nickel, and US$3.50/lb copper. A US$/CDN$ exchange rate of US$1.00 = CDN$1.00 was also applied. An average
production rate of 3,500 t/d was used to determine the reserves. The following recoveries were used in the assumptions to determine the
reserves: 80.45% palladium, 71.30% platinum, 83.97% gold, 43.13% nickel, and 88.55% copper.
5. The mineral resource estimate for the Roby Zone open pit and stockpiles were estimated as of June 30, 2010 by Scott Wilson RPA and
updated by David N. Penna, P.Geo., an employee of Lac des Iles Mining Ltd. (LDIM) and a qualified person (QP) under NI 43-101 to
reflect: (i) additions to mineral reserves in the Roby Zone as a result of a lower cut-off palladium grade; (ii) depletion from production up
to March 31, 2012, and (iii) mineral reserves from the crown pillar (supported by an internal engineering report). The following cut-off
grades were used: (i) 1.8 g/t palladium equivalent (PdEq) for the Roby open pit, within an optimized pit shell run below the current pit
survey; (ii) 1.9 g/t PdEq for the mine stockpiles; and (iii) 5.8 g/t PdEq for the underground Roby Zone. These cut-off grades were
determined under the assumption that production would take place at a rate of 14,000 t/d. Metal price assumptions of US$350/oz
palladium, US$1,400/oz platinum, US$850/oz gold, US$6.50/lb nickel, and US$2.00/lb copper were used in the estimation of cut-off grade.
A US$/CDN$ exchange rate of 1.11 was also applied.
6. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

  • 2. 1 Forward Looking STATEMENTS Certain information included in this presentation constitutes ‘forward-looking statements’ within the meaning of the ‘safe harbor’ provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Canadian securities laws. The words ‘expect’, ‘believe’, ‘will’, ‘intend’, ‘estimate’, ‘forecast’, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include, without limitation, any information as to our future exploration, financial or operating performance, including: the Company's forward looking production guidance, projected capital expenditures, operating cost estimates, project timelines, mining and milling rates, the methods by which ore will be extracted, projected grades, mill recoveries, and other statements that express management's expectations or estimates of future performance. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The factors and assumptions contained in this press release, which may prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to: metal prices assumptions, Canadian and U.S. dollar exchange rate assumptions, that there will be no significant disruptions affecting operations, that prices for key mining and construction supplies, including labour and transportation costs, will remain consistent with the Company's expectations, that the Company's current estimates of mineral reserves and resources are accurate, and that there are no material delays in the timing of ongoing development projects. The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. The Company cautions the reader that such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks that may cause the actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to: the possibility that metal prices, foreign exchange rates or operating costs may differ from management's expectations, uncertainty of mineral reserves and resources, inherent risks associated with mining and processing, the risk that the Lac des Iles mine may not perform as planned and that the Offset Zone and other properties may not be successfully developed, and uncertainty of the ability of the Company to obtain financing. For more details on the factors, assumptions and risks see the Company's most recent Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, events or otherwise, except as expressly required by law. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All dollar amounts are in Canadian currency unless otherwise stated, all references to production refer to payable production, and all reference to tonnes refer to metric tonnes. U.S. investors are encouraged to refer to the “Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources” in the appendix.
  • 3. 2 NAP’s Investment • Clear Growth Strategy to Increase Production & Lower Cash Costs LDI mine expansion offers production growth with a decreasing cash cost profile and expanding operating margins • Leverage to Rising Palladium Prices As one of only two primary palladium producers in the world, LDI is uniquely positioned to benefit from the positive supply & demand fundamentals (driven by constrained mine supply & rising global vehicle production) • Attractive PGM Investment Jurisdiction Compared to South African peers, NAP operates in a stable political landscape, with low geopolitical risk and moderate cost inflation • Significant Development & Exploration Upside Upside complimented by excess mill capacity, existing infrastructure & permits, which gives NAP potential to convert exploration success into production and cash flow on an accelerated timeline • Operational Expertise Reduces Operating Risk New senior executive team appointed in Q1, 2013 PROPOSITION

  • 27. 26 Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning • Mineral reserves and mineral resources have been calculated in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. For United States reporting purposes, Industry Guide 7, (under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934), as interpreted by Staff of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), applies different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. In addition, while the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources are required pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC, and mineral resource information contained herein is not comparable to similar information regarding mineral reserves disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. U.S. investors should understand that “inferred” mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In addition, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of NAP's mineral resources constitute or will be converted into reserves. For a more detailed description of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used in calculating NAP’s mineral reserves and mineral resources, see NAP’s most recent Annual Information Form/Form 40-F on file with Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities and the SEC. • Please refer to North American Palladium’s most current Annual Information Form and applicable technical reports available on www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and www.nap.com for further information.

  • 29. 28 LDI Reserves & Resources Notes: 1. Prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and the CIM classification system. 2. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. Mineral resources are exclusive of the mineral reserves. 3. The mineral resource for the Offset Zone was estimated as of June 30, 2012 by Todd McCracken, P.Geo, of Tetra Tech, an independent QP under NI 43-101. The effective date of the resource is March 31, 2012. The mineral resource calculation uses a minimum 2.5 g/t palladium resource block cut-off. The mineral resource estimate is based on the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics, and conventional block modelling (5 m by 5 m by 5 m blocks). Assay grade capping was determined not to be necessary. The Offset Zone resource models used the ordinary kriging (OK) grade interpolation method within a 3Dl block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids. The quality assurance (QA)/quality control (QC) protocols and corresponding sample preparation and shipment procedures for the Offset Zone have been reviewed by Tetra Tech. The following metal price assumptions were used: US$675/oz palladium, US$1,675/oz platinum, US$1,750/oz gold, US$8.00/lb nickel, and US$3.50/lb copper. A US$/CDN$ exchange rate of US$1.00 = CDN$1.00 was also applied. 4. Mineral reserves for the Offset Zone were estimated by Todd McCracken, P. Geo.; William Richard McBride, P.Eng.; Todd Kanhai, P.Eng.; and Philip Bridson, P.Eng. of Tetra Tech, independent QPs within the meaning of NI 43-101. The mineral reserves were estimated from drilling completed to March 31, 2012. Reserves were estimated to the 990 Mine Level (4,490 m elevation), a maximum depth of 1,017.5 m. The following metal price assumptions were used for reserves estimation: US$675/oz palladium, US$1,675/oz platinum, US$1,750/oz gold, US$8.00/lb nickel, and US$3.50/lb copper. A US$/CDN$ exchange rate of US$1.00 = CDN$1.00 was also applied. An average production rate of 3,500 t/d was used to determine the reserves. The following recoveries were used in the assumptions to determine the reserves: 80.45% palladium, 71.30% platinum, 83.97% gold, 43.13% nickel, and 88.55% copper. 5. The mineral resource estimate for the Roby Zone open pit and stockpiles were estimated as of June 30, 2010 by Scott Wilson RPA and updated by David N. Penna, P.Geo., an employee of Lac des Iles Mining Ltd. (LDIM) and a qualified person (QP) under NI 43-101 to reflect: (i) additions to mineral reserves in the Roby Zone as a result of a lower cut-off palladium grade; (ii) depletion from production up to March 31, 2012, and (iii) mineral reserves from the crown pillar (supported by an internal engineering report). The following cut-off grades were used: (i) 1.8 g/t palladium equivalent (PdEq) for the Roby open pit, within an optimized pit shell run below the current pit survey; (ii) 1.9 g/t PdEq for the mine stockpiles; and (iii) 5.8 g/t PdEq for the underground Roby Zone. These cut-off grades were determined under the assumption that production would take place at a rate of 14,000 t/d. Metal price assumptions of US$350/oz palladium, US$1,400/oz platinum, US$850/oz gold, US$6.50/lb nickel, and US$2.00/lb copper were used in the estimation of cut-off grade. A US$/CDN$ exchange rate of 1.11 was also applied. 6. Numbers may not add due to rounding. NOTES
