LDI Exploration Potential
• Key findings:
– “Globally, there are few available advanced
PGE exploration investment opportunities as
attractive as LDI (technical quality risk, PGE
focus).”
– “Exploration opportunities at LDI are highly
ranked in comparison to most advanced PGE
properties on a global basis. Low overall risk
given existing infrastructure and permitting.
Clear path to expanding production.”
– “Several areas on the Mine Block Intrusion
have immediate potential for expanding the
resource base. Offset Zone south extension,
Cowboy, Outlaw & Sheriff zones. Good
historical link between exploration spend and
resource quality and size. Encouraged to
continue with aggressive exploration.”

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.

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.
