North American Palladium Announces First Quarter 2008

Production Results

TORONTO, April 22 – North American Palladium Ltd. (TSX: PDL, PDL.WT) (AMEX: PAL, PAL.WS) today announced production results for the three month period ending March 31, 2008.

Highlights for the Quarter

·Total palladium production for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was 61,091 ounces, a decrease of 22% compared to the same quarter a year ago but in line with management’s expectations.

·Production guidance of 300,000 ounces of palladium in 2008 is reaffirmed.

·Average palladium spot price of US$444 per ounce for Q1 2008 represents a 28% increase over the average spot price of US$346 for Q1 2007.

Results of Operations

For the first quarter of 2008, the Company’s Lac des Iles mine produced 61,091 ounces of palladium at an average head grade of 2.20 g/t. This represents a decrease of 17,714 ounces when compared to the first quarter of 2007, however, this is in line with management’s expectations.

As a result of scheduled maintenance, mill availability was also lower year-over-year. Mill availability was 89.5% in the first quarter of 2008 versus 94.5% for the same period last year. The additional downtime is expected to benefit production levels for the balance of 2008. A total of 1,136,568 tonnes of ore were processed during the first quarter for an average of 12,490 tonnes per day at a palladium recovery rate of 76.0%, compared to 1,288,540 tonnes or 14,317 tonnes per day at a recovery of 76.6% in the same period last year.

The underground mine continued to deliver consistent results, achieving planned grade and production. During the quarter, the underground mine averaged 2,093 tonnes of ore per day at a palladium head grade of 5.66 g/t compared to an average of 2,236 tonnes per day at a palladium head grade of 6.0 g/t in the same period last year.

Jim Excell, President and Chief Executive Officer had the following comments: “While our first quarter production results were lower than the same period last year, this was not unexpected. In addition to planned maintenance, we also experienced unscheduled maintenance. The decrease in production over the first quarter of 2007 primarily reflects our mine plan, which anticipated processing lower grade ore from the open pit. This

portion of the pit has now been mined out and we are now mining from a higher grade area of the open pit where we expect to remain for the balance of the year.”

The Company reaffirmed production guidance of 300,000 ounces of palladium for 2008, an increase of approximately 5% over 2007. The proportion of by-product metals produced is, in aggregate, expected to increase in tandem with palladium production.

These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to: metal price volatility; economic and political events affecting metal supply and demand; changes in the regulatory environment; fluctuations in ore grade or ore tonnes milled; geological, technical, mining or processing problems; future production; changes in the life-of-mine plan or the ultimate pit design; availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves; adverse changes in our credit rating; and the risks involved in the exploration, development and mining business. These factors are discussed in greater detail in 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.
