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 news 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 and Vezza mines and 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.

2011 operating and capital expenditure numbers discussed in this presentation are subject to change following completion
of the year-end audit. 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.

 • Emerging economies have adopted emission control standards that mandate the
   use of catalytic converters
 • Advancing to a higher level of emission controls results in higher PGM loadings in
   the catalytic converter
 • Tightening emission control regulations for heavy-duty trucks

LDI Exploration Potential
INDEPENDENT REVIEW
• Independent exploration review of LDI property conducted in 2011 by Revelation
  Geoscience, experts in PGE deposits
• Key findings:
   – “Globally, there are few available advanced           WE HAVE ONLY
     PGE exploration investment opportunities as       SCRATCHED THE SURFACE
     attractive as LDI (technical quality risk, PGE
     focus).”

   – “Exploration opportunities at LDI are highly
     ranked in comparison to most advanced PGE
     properties on a global basis. Low overall risk
     given existing infrastructure and permitting.
     Clear path to expanding production.”

   – “Several areas on the Mine Block Intrusion have
     immediate potential for expanding the resource
     base. Offset Zone south extension, Cowboy,
     Outlaw & Sheriff zones. Good historical link
     between exploration spend and resource quality
     and size. Encouraged to continue with
     aggressive exploration.”

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning
MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCE

•   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.

MINERAL RESERVES & RESOURCES
NOTES:
1.Prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the
  Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum classification system.
2.The mineral resource estimate for the Offset Zone was prepared by Antoine Yassa, P.Geo. and Eugene Puritch, P.Eng. of P&E
  Mining Consultants Inc. both Independent Qualified Persons within the meaning of NI 43-101. The mineral resource calculation uses
  a minimum 3.5 g/t Pd resource block cut-off, Assays were capped at various levels depending on metal grade distributions.
  Resources were estimated to the 4070 Mine Level (-930 m elevation), a maximum depth of 1,430 m. The following metal price
  assumptions were used: US$475/oz palladium, US$1,500/oz platinum, US$1,100/oz gold, US$9.00/lb nickel, and US$3.00/lb copper. A
  US$/Cdn$ exchange rate of US$0.95 = CDN$1.00 was also applied.
3.The mineral reserve and resource estimate for the Roby Zone, open pit and and stockpiles were estimated as of June 30, 2010 by
  Scott Wilson RPA and updated by David Penna, P.Geo., an employee of the Company and a Qualified Person under 43-101 to: (i)
  to reflect additions to mineral reserves in the Roby Zone as a result of a lower cut-off palladium grade and higher palladium price
  in the Roby Zone; (ii) depletion from production up to May 31, 2011, 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 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
  tpd. 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.
4.Palladium ounces are stated as contained ounces. Disclosure of contained ounces is permitted under Canadian regulations;
  however, the SEC generally permits resources to be reported only as in place tonnage and grade. Since the closure of the open
  pit operations, metallurgical recoveries at the LDI mine have been approximately 80.8% for palladium, 74.2% for platinum and
  77.2% for gold.
5.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. The quantity and grade of reported inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been
  insufficient exploration to define these Inferred resources as an Indicated or Measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further
  exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured mineral resource category.
6.The resource estimate was prepared by constructing 3D wireframes containing 37.9 million tonnes of mineralization with Gemcom
  software and using inverse distance squared (1/d2) grade interpolation on capped composited assays.

    NOTES :
    1. This updated mineral resource estimate was prepared as of April 11, 2011 by M. Bernard Salmon, B.Sc., Eng., an
       independent Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101.
    2. CIM definitions were followed for the estimation of Mineral Resources.
    3. Mineral Resources are estimated at a cut-off grade of 3 g/t, using an average long-term gold price of US$1,200 per
       ounce and a US$/C$ exchange rate of 1:1.
    4. Minimum mining width of two metres was used.

  • 1. Investor February 2012 William J. Biggar PRESENTATION President & CEO
  • 2. 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 news 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 and Vezza mines and 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. 2011 operating and capital expenditure numbers discussed in this presentation are subject to change following completion of the year-end audit. 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. 1

  • 33. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCE • 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. • Michel Bouchard, P. Geo, a qualified person under NI 43-101, supervised the preparation of the technical data in this presentation. • Please refer to North American Palladium‟s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2010 and applicable technical reports available on www.sedar.com, www.sec.gov and www.nap.com for further information. 32

  • 35. LDI Mine MINERAL RESERVES & RESOURCES NOTES: 1.Prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum classification system. 2.The mineral resource estimate for the Offset Zone was prepared by Antoine Yassa, P.Geo. and Eugene Puritch, P.Eng. of P&E Mining Consultants Inc. both Independent Qualified Persons within the meaning of NI 43-101. The mineral resource calculation uses a minimum 3.5 g/t Pd resource block cut-off, Assays were capped at various levels depending on metal grade distributions. Resources were estimated to the 4070 Mine Level (-930 m elevation), a maximum depth of 1,430 m. The following metal price assumptions were used: US$475/oz palladium, US$1,500/oz platinum, US$1,100/oz gold, US$9.00/lb nickel, and US$3.00/lb copper. A US$/Cdn$ exchange rate of US$0.95 = CDN$1.00 was also applied. 3.The mineral reserve and resource estimate for the Roby Zone, open pit and and stockpiles were estimated as of June 30, 2010 by Scott Wilson RPA and updated by David Penna, P.Geo., an employee of the Company and a Qualified Person under 43-101 to: (i) to reflect additions to mineral reserves in the Roby Zone as a result of a lower cut-off palladium grade and higher palladium price in the Roby Zone; (ii) depletion from production up to May 31, 2011, 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 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 tpd. 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. 4.Palladium ounces are stated as contained ounces. Disclosure of contained ounces is permitted under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC generally permits resources to be reported only as in place tonnage and grade. Since the closure of the open pit operations, metallurgical recoveries at the LDI mine have been approximately 80.8% for palladium, 74.2% for platinum and 77.2% for gold. 5.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. The quantity and grade of reported inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred resources as an Indicated or Measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured mineral resource category. 6.The resource estimate was prepared by constructing 3D wireframes containing 37.9 million tonnes of mineralization with Gemcom software and using inverse distance squared (1/d2) grade interpolation on capped composited assays. 34
