Forward Looking

Certain information included in this presentation, including any information as to our future production,

exploration, financial or operating performance and other statements that express management's

expectations or estimates of future performance, constitute „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‟ and similar expressions

identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, including future-oriented financial

information, are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered

reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive

uncertainties, risks and contingencies, including the possibility that operations at the Lac des Iles and Sleeping

Giant mines may not proceed as planned, that other properties may not be successfully developed, and that

metal prices, foreign exchange assumptions and operating costs may differ from management‟s

expectations. The Company cautions the reader that such forward-looking statements involve known and

unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual financial results, performance or

achievements of North American Palladium to be materially different from the Company‟s estimated future

results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements and that the

Gasoline Engines

• Use +90% palladium

Diesel Engines

• Historically used platinum due to technical requirements

• Currently use 25% palladium, with scope to increase to 50% due to advent of low sulphur diesel fuel

Hybrids & Other New Forms

• Neutral impact on PGM use

• Gasoline hybrids tend to use as much palladium as normal gasoline engines

• Currently account for only 1% of global cars sales1

• Forecasted to be 14% of overall market by 20202

Electric

• No requirement for catalytic converters

• Challenged by lack of infrastructure to recharge, high costs, long charging periods and short driving range

• Forecasted to account for only 2% of global car sales by 20202

Cash Costs1 ($US/oz) $283 $450

Note: 2010 production consisted entirely of underground ore. Reduced 2011 head grade is due to

blending of lower grade surface stockpiles with higher grade underground ore.

1. Total cash costs per ounce is a non-IFRS measure. For reconciliation of historical total cash costs per ounce to production

costs, please refer to the Company‟s financial statements. Cash costs per ounce are presented net of byproduct credits

and can be materially affected by changes in byproduct metal prices, as well as the Canadian/US dollar exchange rate.

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.

• Michel Bouchard, P. Geo, Vice President, Exploration & Development, for North American Palladium Ltd.,

is the Qualified Person who 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,

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.

Updated mineral reserves (to include Offset Zone) are expected in Q3, 2011.
