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 ~6.5 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

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. 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.

2. Palladium ounces are stated as contained ounces. Disclosure of contained ounces is permitted under Canadian regulations; however,

the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) generally permits resources to be reported only as in place tonnage and grade.

3. Resources listed in Table 1.1 are exclusive of reserves. Resources and reserves reflect depletion from mining activities to December 31,

2013.

4. Tonnages are rounded to nearest '000 tonnes. Palladium, platinum and gold grades are rounded to nearest 0.01 g/t. Nickel and

copper grades are rounded to nearest 0.01%. Rounded numbers used to calculate contained palladium (oz) and average resource

and reserve tonnage and grades.

5. 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 (CIM) classification system. US investors should refer

to the Annual Information Form for an overview on how Canadian Standards differ significantly from US requirements.

6. The mineral resource for the Offset hangingwall and footwall zones was estimated as of December 31, 2013 by Denis Decharte P.Eng,

an employee of North American Palladium Ltd. (NAP) and a qualified person (QP) under NI 43-101. 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 (5 m by 5 m by 5 m blocks). 1 m 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, 2013.

7. The mineral resource for the Roby footwall zone was estimated as of December 31, 2013 by Denis Decharte P.Eng, an employee of NAP

and a QP under NI 43-101. 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 (5 m by 5 m by

5 m 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 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, 2013.

8. Mineral resource estimates for the near-surface portion of the western part of the North VT Rim Zone (west and east deep zones) at the

Lac des Iles Mine Property was prepared by Chris Roney, P.Geo., a QP and a private consultant to the Company. This resource estimate

was based on a 1.0 g/t palladium 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 palladium resource block cut-off. The mineral resource estimate is based on

the combination of geological modeling, geostatistics, and conventional block modeling (5 m by 5 m by 5 m blocks). The North VT Rim

resource models used the inverse distance squared (ID2) grade interpolation method. North American Palladium Ltd. 1-4 1496780200-

REP-R0002-01 Technical Report for Lac des Iles Mine, Ontario Incorporating Prefeasibility Study for Life of Mine Plan.

9. Mineral resource estimates for the low-grade stockpile (RGO) was prepared by David N. Penna, P.Geo., an employee of Lac des Iles

Mines Ltd. and a QP within the meaning of NI 43-101.

10. As with mineral resources, the estimate of mineral reserves may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, t itle,

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 NAP

and QPs under NI 43-101. The geological block models reflect updates that are based upon diamond drilling completed after March

31, 2012 and before December 31, 2013.

11. Mineral resources for the Sheriff Zone are based on estimates originally provided in the Company’s September 5, 2013 press re lease.

12. The mineral reserves were estimated by William Richard McBride, P.Eng. of Tetra Tech and Wenchang Ni, P.Eng. of Tetra Tech; with input

by Dave Penna, P. Geo., an employee of NAP and QPs under NI 43-101 on allocation of indirect mining costs and John Cooney, P. Eng.,

an employee of NAP and QP under NI 43-101 on the use of the Lac Des Isle Mine 2014 budget for unit cost determinations; and with

additional input by Cam McKinnon, P.Eng. of Tetra Tech on recoveries; and Philip Bridson, P.Eng. of Tetra Tech on metal prices and

exchange rate, independent QPs within the meaning of NI 43-101.

13. Reserves were estimated to the 1065 Mine Level (4,435 m elevation), a maximum depth of 1,072.5 m.

14. The following metal price assumptions were used for reserves estimation: US$700/oz palladium, US$1,453/oz platinum, US$1,320/oz gold,

US$6.47/lb nickel, and US$3.26/lb copper. A Cdn$/US$ exchange rate of Cdn$1.00 = US$0.95 was also applied.

15. An average production rate of 5,272 t/d was used to determine the reserves. The following recoveries were used in the assumptions to

determine the reserves: 86.3% palladium, 80.3% platinum, 80.4% gold, 38.8% nickel, and 88.7% copper. The effective date of NAP’s Lac

des Iles Mine resource models for the Offset Zone and for the Roby Zone, as prepared by NAP’s Denis Decharte P.Eng., is December 31,

2013 and as a result of “mining depletion” the user of this reserve information should ensure that this is based upon the most recent

resource estimate for the Property.

16. It should also be noted that the mineral reserve estimate for the Offset Zone as provided in 2013 as part of the technical report labeled

“Technical Report Lac des Iles Mine, Ontario, Incorporating Prefeasibility Study Offset Zone Phase I, effective January 31, 2013” reflected

a different mining method with a different set of economic circumstances that thereby lead to that January 2013 reserve estimate in

that prior report to be non-applicable to the unconsolidated fill mining method demonstrated as being viable by this prefeasibility study

work. It should be further noted that “mining depletion” during 2013 is not accounted for in the reserves, as in place underground mining

developments were removed from the resource model prepared by NAP’s Denis Decharte P.Eng., and thereby from the reserve

numbers; and a 0% mining recovery was applied to known mined-out stopes. The projected top down, long-hole with unconsolidated fill

mining method, its potential production profile and the plans referred to in this prefeasibility study are preliminary in nature and

additional technical studies will need to be completed in order to prove out their viability. There is no certainty that this mining method

will be realized or that the production capabilities as represented will be realized. A mine production decision that is made without a

feasibility study carries additional potential risks which include but are not limited to the lack of details pertaining to geotechnical and

ventilation field study inputs for mine design, ore handling upgrades and their impact on mining schedules, metallurgical flow sheets

and process plant designs that in themselves may require additional economic analysis and internal studies to ensure satisfactory

operational conditions and decisions regarding future targeted production. Numbers may not add due to rounding.
