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.

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$1,000 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

•      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     8
       production.

•   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.

  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 National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) and the Canadian
   Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum classification system. U.S. investors should refer to the Annual Information Form for an
   overview on how Canadian standards differ significantly from U.S. requirements.
2. 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.
3. Mineral Resources for the Offset Zone were estimated from drilling completed to March 31, 2012 by Todd McCracken, P.Geo., of Tetra
   Tech, an independent Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101. The mineral resource calculation uses a minimum 3.5 g/t Pd
   resource block cut-off. The mineral resource estimate is based on the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics and
   conventional block modeling (5 m x 5 m x 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 three-dimensional block model with mineralized
   zones defined by wireframed solids. The QA/QC protocols and corresponding sample preparation and shipment procedures for the
   Offset Zone have been reviewed by Tetra Tech. 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$1,200/oz gold, US$9.00/lb
   nickel, and US$3.25/lb copper. A US$/Cdn$ exchange rate of US$0.95 = CDN$1.00 was also applied.
4. The mineral reserve and 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 Penna, P.Geo., an employee of the Company and a Qualified Person under 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 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.
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, sociopolitical, 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. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

Gold Division
OVERVIEW

• NAP is currently exploring divestiture opportunities of its non-
  core portfolio of gold assets

• Portfolio consists of significantly de-risked gold assets in
  Quebec with total mineral resource inventory of 1.5 MM oz Au:

     • Vezza Mine – High-grade, underground, fully permitted
       gold mine with near-term cash generation potential
       (ready for commercial production)

     • Sleeping Giant Mine & Mill Complex – Fully permitted,
       900 tpd regional mill with potential to be expanded to
       1,750 tpd

     • Dormex, Flordin & Discovery Projects – Advanced and
       early stage exploration properties with blue sky potential,
       within trucking distance to regional mill



                                                                     37
Gold Division
OVERVIEW

Divestiture strategy driven by:

• Gold assets are non-core to NAP

• Equity investor preference for pure play PGM exposure (gold diversification strategy
  perceived to dilute the palladium brand)

• Newly identified exploration & development upside in palladium assets that will give the
  Company growth in palladium (therefore not relying on growth through diversification)

• Lack of “mass scale” in gold production growth due to Sleeping Giant mine closure in early
  2012

• Significant development milestones reached at Vezza have well positioned the asset for
  sale (warrants more attractive valuation now that operations have commenced)




                                                                                             38

  • 31. 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. 30

  • 33. LDI 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. U.S. investors should refer to the Annual Information Form for an overview on how Canadian standards differ significantly from U.S. requirements. 2. 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. 3. Mineral Resources for the Offset Zone were estimated from drilling completed to March 31, 2012 by Todd McCracken, P.Geo., of Tetra Tech, an independent Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101. The mineral resource calculation uses a minimum 3.5 g/t Pd resource block cut-off. The mineral resource estimate is based on the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics and conventional block modeling (5 m x 5 m x 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 three-dimensional block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids. The QA/QC protocols and corresponding sample preparation and shipment procedures for the Offset Zone have been reviewed by Tetra Tech. 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$1,200/oz gold, US$9.00/lb nickel, and US$3.25/lb copper. A US$/Cdn$ exchange rate of US$0.95 = CDN$1.00 was also applied. 4. The mineral reserve and 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 Penna, P.Geo., an employee of the Company and a Qualified Person under 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 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. 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, sociopolitical, 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. Numbers may not add due to rounding. 32

  • 38. Gold Division OVERVIEW • NAP is currently exploring divestiture opportunities of its non- core portfolio of gold assets • Portfolio consists of significantly de-risked gold assets in Quebec with total mineral resource inventory of 1.5 MM oz Au: • Vezza Mine – High-grade, underground, fully permitted gold mine with near-term cash generation potential (ready for commercial production) • Sleeping Giant Mine & Mill Complex – Fully permitted, 900 tpd regional mill with potential to be expanded to 1,750 tpd • Dormex, Flordin & Discovery Projects – Advanced and early stage exploration properties with blue sky potential, within trucking distance to regional mill 37
  • 39. Gold Division OVERVIEW Divestiture strategy driven by: • Gold assets are non-core to NAP • Equity investor preference for pure play PGM exposure (gold diversification strategy perceived to dilute the palladium brand) • Newly identified exploration & development upside in palladium assets that will give the Company growth in palladium (therefore not relying on growth through diversification) • Lack of “mass scale” in gold production growth due to Sleeping Giant mine closure in early 2012 • Significant development milestones reached at Vezza have well positioned the asset for sale (warrants more attractive valuation now that operations have commenced) 38
