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 presentation, 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 future exploration and development. 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.

Growing
• Strong demand from automotive sector
• Growth in demand driven by vehicle sales & environmental legislation in developing markets:
o Light vehicle production forecasted to increase by 4% annually
o Strong growth in light vehicle production driven by China (forecast ~31 M vehicles per
year by 2018)
o More stringent emission control standards mandate the use of catalytic converters

Constrained
Small Market:
• Only ~7.0 M oz in annual mine production
(unlikely to increase meaningfully)
Highly Concentrated:
• 80% of mine supply derived from risky jurisdictions:
Russia & South Africa (mined as a by-product
metal)
Challenged Global Supply:
• Anticipated closures of some South African mines,
where output is affected by political issues, labour
unrest, rising costs & technical challenges
• Decreased sales from Russian stockpiles, a
historical overhang (believed to be depleted)
• Recycling insufficient to offset demand
The palladium market is forecasted to remain in a
deficit position for the foreseeable future

HANGINGWALL AND FOOTWALL ZONES
• The Roby and Offset zones were recently
subdivided into separate hangingwall and
footwall zones based on both geology and
grade
• Most of the Roby hangingwall zone has
been mined out but the underground Roby
footwall zone is included in the new Base
Case mining plan
• Most of the Offset Zone is yet to be mined
and both the Offset hangingwall and Offset
footwall zones are open at depth, to the
south and toward surface
• The hangingwall zones have a higher
average grade, typically >4 g/t Pd with
local sections of >6 g/t Pd, and remains
open to the south, toward surface and to
depth
• The footwall zones have an average grade
of >2 g/t Pd with local intervals featuring
hangingwall zone-type grades

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.

Notes
1. All reserve and resource estimates were 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. US investors should refer to the
Annual Information Form for an overview on how Canadian Standards differ significantly from US requirements.
2. Resources listed in Table 1 are exclusive of reserves. Resources and reserves reflect depletion from mining activities to December 31,
2014.
3. The estimation of mineral reserves may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political,
marketing, or other relevant issues. The mineral reserves were estimated from geological block models provided by Denis Decharte
P.Eng. and from RGO stockpile resource information provided by Dave Penna, P. Geo., employees of North American Palladium (NAP)
and qualified persons (QP) under NI 43-101.
4. 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, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues.
5. 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.
6. Tonnages are rounded to nearest '000 tonnes. Pd, Pt and Au grades are rounded to nearest .01 g/t. Ni and Cu grades are rounded to
nearest .01%. Rounded numbers used to calculate contained Pd (oz) and average resource and reserve tonnages.
7. The mineral reserves are based on the estimates and metal price assumptions provided in the March 21, 2014 NI 43-101 Technical Report
entitled "Technical Report for Lac des Iles Mine, Ontario Incorporating Prefeasibility Study for Life of Mine Plan" and are re-stated here to
account for mining depletion that occurred in 2014. Mining depletion estimates were determined by David N. Penna, P.Geo. and QP.
8. Reserves are estimated to the 1065 Mine Level (4,435 metre elevation), a maximum depth of 1,072.5 metres. The effective date of the
Lac des Iles Mine resource models that were used in the estimation of the current reserves for the Offset and Roby zones is December
31, 2013, as prepared by Denis Decharte P.Eng. and QP.

LDI Reserves & Resources
9. The mineral resource for the Offset hangingwall and footwall zones was estimated as of December 31, 2014 by Denis Decharte P.Eng.
and QP. The mineral resource calculation uses a minimum 2.5 g/t palladium resource block cut-off for the hangingwall zone and a
minimum 1.5 g/t palladium resource block cut-off for the footwall zone. The mineral resource estimate is based on the combination of
geological modeling, geostatistics and conventional block modelling (5m by 5m by 5m blocks). 1m composite intervals were used with
a grade capping at 30 g/t for palladium and 3 g/t for gold. Grade capping was determined not to be necessary for others metals. The
Offset Zone resource models used the ordinary kriging (OK) grade interpolation method within a 3DI block model with mineralized zones
defined by wireframe solids. The mineral resource is exclusive of mineral reserve and mined-out material as of December 31, 2014.
10. The mineral resource for the Upper Offset southeast extension zone was estimated as of December 31, 2014 by Denis Decharte P.Eng.
and QP. The mineral resource calculation was constrained by a 2 g/t Pd grade shell and with no Pd cutoff grade applied. The mineral
resource estimate is based on the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics and conventional block modelling (5m by 5m by
5m blocks). 1m composite intervals were used. Grade capping was determined not to be necessary. The Upper Offset southeast
extension zone resource model used the inverse distance squared (ID 2) grade interpolation method within a 3DI block model. The
mineral resource is exclusive of mineral reserve and mined-out material as of December 31, 2014.
11. The mineral resource for the Roby footwall zone was estimated as of December 31, 2013 by Denis Decharte P.Eng. and QP. The mineral
resource calculation uses a minimum 1.5 g/t palladium resource block cut-off. The mineral resource estimate is based on the
combination of geological modeling, geostatistics and conventional block modelling (5m by 5m by 5m blocks). Grade capping was
determined not to be necessary, however influence of composite intervals with palladium grade higher than 50 g/t were limited in
space. The Roby zone resource models used the ordinary kriging (OK) grade interpolation method within a 3DI block model with
mineralized zones defined by wireframe solids. The mineral resource is exclusive of mineral reserve and mined-out material as of
December 31, 2014.
12. The mineral resource for the Powerline zone was estimated as of February 2, 2015 by Chris Roney, P.Geo. and QP and a private
consultant to the Company. This resource estimate was based on a 1.0 g/t Pd cut-off grade. The Powerline zone mineral resources were
estimated from drilling completed to December 31, 2014. The mineral resource uses a minimum 1.0 g/t Pd resource block cut-off. The
mineral resource estimate is based on the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics and conventional block modeling (10m x
10m x 10m blocks). The Powerline zone resource models used the Odinary Kriging interpolation method.
NOTES

LDI Reserves & Resources
13. The mineral resources for the Sheriff Zone are based on estimates originally provided in the Company’s September 5, 2013 press release
and adjusted to account for the overlap with the preliminary resource estimates for the Powerline Zone.
14. The mineral resource for the North VT Rim zone was estimated as at December 31, 2013 by Chris Roney, P.Geo. and QP. This resource
estimate was based on a 1.0 g/t Pd cut-off grade. The North VT Rim zone mineral resources were estimated from drilling completed to
April 15, 2013. The mineral resource uses a minimum 1.0 g/t Pd resource block cut-off. The mineral resource estimate is based on the
combination of geological modeling, geostatistics and conventional block modeling (5m x 5m x 5m blocks). The North VT Rim resource
models used the inverse distance squared (ID 2) grade interpolation method.
15. Mineral resource estimates for the low-grade stockpile (RGO) shown in the Company's March 21, 2013 statement of mineral reserves
and mineral resources were converted to proven mineral reserves, under the direction of David N. Penna, P.Geo. and QP.

  • 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 presentation, 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 future exploration and development. 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.

  • 30. 29 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.

  • 32. 31 LDI Reserves & Resources Notes 1. All reserve and resource estimates were 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. US investors should refer to the Annual Information Form for an overview on how Canadian Standards differ significantly from US requirements. 2. Resources listed in Table 1 are exclusive of reserves. Resources and reserves reflect depletion from mining activities to December 31, 2014. 3. The estimation of mineral reserves may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. The mineral reserves were estimated from geological block models provided by Denis Decharte P.Eng. and from RGO stockpile resource information provided by Dave Penna, P. Geo., employees of North American Palladium (NAP) and qualified persons (QP) under NI 43-101. 4. 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, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues. 5. 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. 6. Tonnages are rounded to nearest '000 tonnes. Pd, Pt and Au grades are rounded to nearest .01 g/t. Ni and Cu grades are rounded to nearest .01%. Rounded numbers used to calculate contained Pd (oz) and average resource and reserve tonnages. 7. The mineral reserves are based on the estimates and metal price assumptions provided in the March 21, 2014 NI 43-101 Technical Report entitled "Technical Report for Lac des Iles Mine, Ontario Incorporating Prefeasibility Study for Life of Mine Plan" and are re-stated here to account for mining depletion that occurred in 2014. Mining depletion estimates were determined by David N. Penna, P.Geo. and QP. 8. Reserves are estimated to the 1065 Mine Level (4,435 metre elevation), a maximum depth of 1,072.5 metres. The effective date of the Lac des Iles Mine resource models that were used in the estimation of the current reserves for the Offset and Roby zones is December 31, 2013, as prepared by Denis Decharte P.Eng. and QP. NOTES
  • 33. 32 LDI Reserves & Resources 9. The mineral resource for the Offset hangingwall and footwall zones was estimated as of December 31, 2014 by Denis Decharte P.Eng. and QP. The mineral resource calculation uses a minimum 2.5 g/t palladium resource block cut-off for the hangingwall zone and a minimum 1.5 g/t palladium resource block cut-off for the footwall zone. The mineral resource estimate is based on the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics and conventional block modelling (5m by 5m by 5m blocks). 1m composite intervals were used with a grade capping at 30 g/t for palladium and 3 g/t for gold. Grade capping was determined not to be necessary for others metals. The Offset Zone resource models used the ordinary kriging (OK) grade interpolation method within a 3DI block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframe solids. The mineral resource is exclusive of mineral reserve and mined-out material as of December 31, 2014. 10. The mineral resource for the Upper Offset southeast extension zone was estimated as of December 31, 2014 by Denis Decharte P.Eng. and QP. The mineral resource calculation was constrained by a 2 g/t Pd grade shell and with no Pd cutoff grade applied. The mineral resource estimate is based on the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics and conventional block modelling (5m by 5m by 5m blocks). 1m composite intervals were used. Grade capping was determined not to be necessary. The Upper Offset southeast extension zone resource model used the inverse distance squared (ID 2) grade interpolation method within a 3DI block model. The mineral resource is exclusive of mineral reserve and mined-out material as of December 31, 2014. 11. The mineral resource for the Roby footwall zone was estimated as of December 31, 2013 by Denis Decharte P.Eng. and QP. The mineral resource calculation uses a minimum 1.5 g/t palladium resource block cut-off. The mineral resource estimate is based on the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics and conventional block modelling (5m by 5m by 5m blocks). Grade capping was determined not to be necessary, however influence of composite intervals with palladium grade higher than 50 g/t were limited in space. The Roby zone resource models used the ordinary kriging (OK) grade interpolation method within a 3DI block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframe solids. The mineral resource is exclusive of mineral reserve and mined-out material as of December 31, 2014. 12. The mineral resource for the Powerline zone was estimated as of February 2, 2015 by Chris Roney, P.Geo. and QP and a private consultant to the Company. This resource estimate was based on a 1.0 g/t Pd cut-off grade. The Powerline zone mineral resources were estimated from drilling completed to December 31, 2014. The mineral resource uses a minimum 1.0 g/t Pd resource block cut-off. The mineral resource estimate is based on the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics and conventional block modeling (10m x 10m x 10m blocks). The Powerline zone resource models used the Odinary Kriging interpolation method. NOTES
  • 34. 33 LDI Reserves & Resources 13. The mineral resources for the Sheriff Zone are based on estimates originally provided in the Company’s September 5, 2013 press release and adjusted to account for the overlap with the preliminary resource estimates for the Powerline Zone. 14. The mineral resource for the North VT Rim zone was estimated as at December 31, 2013 by Chris Roney, P.Geo. and QP. This resource estimate was based on a 1.0 g/t Pd cut-off grade. The North VT Rim zone mineral resources were estimated from drilling completed to April 15, 2013. The mineral resource uses a minimum 1.0 g/t Pd resource block cut-off. The mineral resource estimate is based on the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics and conventional block modeling (5m x 5m x 5m blocks). The North VT Rim resource models used the inverse distance squared (ID 2) grade interpolation method. 15. Mineral resource estimates for the low-grade stockpile (RGO) shown in the Company's March 21, 2013 statement of mineral reserves and mineral resources were converted to proven mineral reserves, under the direction of David N. Penna, P.Geo. and QP. NOTES
