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 and Vezza mines 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.

•      2012 global palladium supply is expected to fall to the lowest level since 2003 (down11% YoY)
•      South African production particularly challenged by deeper mines, power/water limitations,
       higher operating costs, geopolitical risks, shortages of skilled labour and strengthening of
       currencies
•      Considering the recent supply disruption in South Africa and a contraction of underlying output
       in Russia, the future production forecasts are expected to be significantly challenged


    Notes:
    1. Russian supply is entirely from Norilsk Nickel, which produces palladium as a by-product from nickel production.
    2. South African supply includes the major platinum producers who produce palladium as a by-product from platinum     7
       production.

FUNDAMENTALS
• Palladium prices forecasted to return to historical highs – up to $1,000/oz

     –   Palladium price forecasts projected to remain strong: most analysts forecast palladium will
         reach US$700 – US$900 in 2013

     –   Supply deficit expected to persist in the future

• Strong demand fundamentals – demand has historically exceeded mine supply

     –   Majority of demand derived from automobile sector with light vehicle production expected
         to increase at a 4% CAGR from 2012 and 2016 (autocatalyst demand for palladium to reach
         a record high in 2012)


     –   Recent significant increase in palladium investment demand reflects positive supply/demand
         fundamentals and automotive industry outlook

• Constrained mine supply – unable to match growth in demand

     –   Majority of mine production comes from challenging jurisdictions (Russia and South Africa –
         less attractive regions for committing capital due to ongoing geopolitical risk


     –   Russian stockpiles, a historical overhang on the market, are now believed to be at or near
         depletion
                                                                                                   14

  PLAN FOR GROWTH
• Approx. $296.5 M spent to date (2010 – 2012)

    o $79 M budget in 2013 to complete Phase I (of total
      $105 M 2013 capital expenditure program)

• 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

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.

LDI Reserves & Resources
   NOTES
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.
                                                                                                                                          31

  • 19. LDI Mine Expansion PLAN FOR GROWTH • Approx. $296.5 M spent to date (2010 – 2012) o $79 M budget in 2013 to complete Phase I (of total $105 M 2013 capital expenditure program) • 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 The underground design schematic of LDI, showing the deposit and underground ramp infrastructure, looking east. Offset Zone remains open to the west, south & at depth. 18

LDI Mine Expansion RECENT UPDATE Surface construction: Underground development:  Major construction components  Shaft sinking is progressing on schedule: completed & fully operational:  Currently at a an approximate depth  Headframe, main substation, hoist of 685 m below surface (+83% house, service hoist & auxiliary hoist completed of the total 825 m planned are all fully operational for Phase I)  Production hoist has been installed & is  Installation of the 740-m level loading currently undergoing mechanical & pocket & underground crusher has electrical testing commenced  Remaining work on surface includes the  Ramp & stope development also inprogress installation of the main skip dump & (mining in Offset Zone commenced in Q4, surface ore bins 2012) 19
  • 21. LDI Exploration Upside POTENTIAL GROWTH TARGETS 3D View of Pit, Sheriff & Offset Zone Sheriff Zone: • Currently being assessed for open pit production potential • Work commenced for initial resource estimate & to assess production parameters, project economics, & permitting requirements Sheriff Zone South Offset Extension: • Encouraging hits south of the shaft show potential for lateral growth South Offset • Extension drilling indicated potential for expanding the resource to the south of and above the current limits of the deposit • Following up infill drilling to the south of the shaft between 825 & 740 m levels) 3D View of Pit, Sheriff & Offset Zone North VT Rim: North VT Rim • Surface drilling demonstrated lateral continuity with high-grade intersects and broader zones of pit grade mineralization • Extremely speculative but could potentially develop a higher grade Sheriff Zone narrow zone that outcrops Roby Zone Extension: • North extension drilling encountered high-grade intercepts (among the highest ever reported from LDI) 20
  • 22. LDI Property EXPLORATION UPSIDE Near-mine land package 62,000-acre regional land package South Norite Zone Mineralization Trend • LDI represents a rare palladium-rich asset with excellent infrastructure • LDI complex has only been drilled in detail in a 1km x 1km area & remains largely underexplored • Multiple targets identified for follow up exploration (surface & underground) • Regional land package covers the most prospective mafic complexes in the area (all PGM 21 properties are less than 30 km from LDI mill)

  • 30. 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. • 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

  • 32. LDI Reserves & Resources NOTES 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. 31 6. Numbers may not add due to rounding.
