North American Palladium Reports Excellent Exploration Results from the Second Half of 2012 Drilling at Lac Des Iles
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/31/13 -- North American Palladium Ltd. ("NAP" or the "Company") (TSX: PDL)(NYSE MKT: PAL) today provided an update on its drill results from the second half of its 2012 underground and surface exploration programs at its Lac des Iles ("LDI") palladium mine property in Northern Ontario.
Highlights:
-- Offset Zone underground extension drilling program delivers positive
results indicating potential for expanding the resource to the south of
and above the current limits of the deposit:
-- Hole 12-706 (upper Offset Zone) intersected 21 metres grading 4.19
grams per tonne palladium ("g/t Pd") and hole 12-601 (southern
Offset Zone) intersected 10 metres averaging 4.27 g/t Pd;
-- Sheriff Zone near-surface resource potential enhanced by positive
definition drilling results featuring broad zones of lower grade
palladium mineralization containing local, higher-grade intervals:
-- Hole 12-179 intersected 130 metres averaging 1.26 g/t Pd including
24 metres grading 3.05 g/t Pd, and hole 12-185 intersected 106
metres grading 1.40 g/t Pd including 5 metres grading 4.68 g/t Pd;
-- Initial resource estimate for the Sheriff Zone expected later in
2013;
-- Roby Zone north extension drilling program returns high-grade
intersections:
-- Hole 12-259 intersected 5 metres grading 13.37 g/t Pd and hole 12-
269 intersected 24 metres averaging 23.35 g/t Pd, including 3 metres
grading 104.20 g/t Pd (amongst the highest ever reported from LDI);
-- North VT Rim surface exploration drilling is starting to demonstrate
lateral continuity and returns additional high-grade intercepts and
broader zones of pit grade mineralization:
-- Hole 12-036 intersected 6 metres with 12.4 g/t Pd including 1 metre
grading 54.10 g/t Pd;
-- New mineralization intersected on the North LDI property (at
approximately 400-metre vertical depth on the first of four planned
fence holes to be drilled):
-- Hole NL 12-100 intersected 2 metres grading 3.58 g/t Pd and 1.08 g/t
Pt.
"We are very excited about the prospect of new sources of near-surface, pit-grade ore for our LDI operations," commented Andre Douchane, Interim CEO and Chairman. "Work has already commenced to advance planning for the Sheriff Zone, which is ideally situated adjacent to our mill. We have a skilled and dedicated project team that is currently assessing the project economics, permitting requirements and production potential."
Mr. Douchane continued: "In addition, excellent results from our Offset Zone and Roby Zone extension drilling, as well as our surface exploration programs highlight the tremendous potential for future resource expansion at LDI."
Lac des Iles Exploration
In 2012, the Company completed a total 50,148 metres of diamond drilling at LDI, of which:
-- 19,405 metres were completed on surface projects (Sheriff Zone, North VT
Rim and other areas on the Mine Block Intrusion); and
-- 30,743 metres on underground exploration and infill programs (Roby and
Offset zones).
Since the last exploration update on 2012 drilling (see July 16, 2012 news release), the Company completed 20,656 metres of diamond drilling at LDI, including:
-- 5,114 metres at Sheriff;
-- 4,952 metres in the southern Offset Zone (12-600 series of holes);
-- 3,437 metres in the upper Offset Zone (12-700 series of holes);
-- 1,411 metres on the Offset Zone infill program (12-800 series of holes
-- 3,350 metres at Roby Zone; and
-- 2,392 metres at North VT Rim.
A tabulation of significant palladium ("Pd"), platinum ("Pt"), gold ("Au"), nickel ("Ni"), copper ("Cu") and cobalt ("Co") assays received from drilling completed in the second half of the year are included in the Appendix, with select highlights listed in Tables 1 through 4 below.
The Company is currently working with an independent firm, Tetra Tech, to complete a pre-feasibility study for the LDI property that is expected to be filed in the first quarter of 2013. A key element for the report is an initial declaration of Offset Zone reserves, including an updated mining plan and project economics on only the converted Offset Zone reserves. The Company expects to do a full update on its mineral reserves and resources for the LDI property in the third quarter of 2013.
Offset Zone Extension and Infill Drilling
The immediate focus for Offset Zone underground drilling was to extend the resource to the south of the shaft to fill a gap that exists between the main Offset Zone deposit and what has historically been referred to as the Southern Norite Zone (see Figure 1). Additional extension drilling completed last fall targeted the upper parts of the Offset Zone deposit (see Figure 2).
In 2012, infill drilling on approximately 15-metre centres was focused on the northern portion of the upper Offset Zone (see Figure 2). A total of 9,800 metres in 34 diamond drill holes were completed on the extension and infill drilling programs. Estimated true widths are 70-100% of the reported drill intersections in this release. Highlights from the fall 2012 Offset Zone underground drilling program are shown in Table 1 below. The location of the drill holes relative to the most recent resource shell (see July 16, 2012 resource update) is provided in Figure 2. Most of the drilling was completed on the upper part of the zone, to the north of the shaft. In 2013, efforts will focus on the area south of the shaft and adjacent to the initial shaft loading pocket at the 740-metre level.
Mineralization south of the shaft was initially encountered in 2011 drilling (see January 30, 2012 news release), and extension drilling in this area will be the top priority for the underground drilling program in 2013. Infill drilling this year is planned between the 740 and 825-metre mine levels. Considering the close proximity to existing underground infrastructure, a southern extension to the Offset Zone could provide short-term lateral growth options and improved project economics by reducing haulage distances to the initial shaft loading pocket. It would also allow the Company to extend the life of the upper parts of the deposit and provide additional time to complete extension drilling at depth, into the footwall and above the currently defined limits to the deposit.

Sheriff Zone Resource Definition Drilling
In 2012, NAP accelerated surface exploration on both the Sheriff Zone and the North VT Rim targets (see Figure 1). The results from the first phase of the resource definition drilling results at the Sheriff Zone were reported in the Company's July 16, 2012 news release. As part of the second phase of the Sheriff Zone resource definition drilling program, the Company completed 5,114 metres in 17 diamond drill holes. The estimated true width is approximately 70% of the reported intersection length but widths do reach up to 90%. Highlights are shown in Table 3 below.
The second phase of the drilling program is slated for completion later in the first quarter of 2013. After receipt and validation of all drilling results, the Company intends to prepare, in collaboration with Tetra Tech, an initial resource estimate for the Sheriff Zone.
NAP remains optimistic that the Sheriff Zone can provide a near-term source of pit-grade material to help replace mill feed (to be blended with higher-grade Offset Zone feed) that is currently being sourced from the Roby Open Pit. Sampling of split core and/or crush reject material is being conducted for bench-scale metallurgical studies that will commence in February. Bulk sampling, initial pit shell modeling and economic analyses are also being planned for later this year.

Roby Zone Extension Drilling
The Company also completed a program of underground extension drilling on the northern part of the Roby Zone including 3,350 metres in 15 holes. The estimated true width is between 75-95% of the actual drill intersections reported. Highlights from this program are shown in Table 3 below with the drilling areas illustrated in Figure 3. Of note are the excellent grades intersected in hole 12-269 which returned 3 metres at 104.2 g/t Pd - amongst the highest ever reported from LDI.

North VT Rim Surface Drilling
Historical exploration on the northern margin of the Mine Block Intrusion by NAP has defined a zone of low-sulfide palladium-rich mineralization referred to as the North VT Rim trend. The trend is characterized by significant local grade variability as indicated by the 'bonanza' palladium and adjacent low-grade trench results reported last year (see January 30th, 2012 news release).
The North VT Rim trend has not been systematically drilled off yet, but based on existing trenching and drilling results, may have lateral continuity at or near surface over a distance of at least five hundred metres - extending east from the northeast end of the Roby Zone (see Figure 1). The trend remains open further to the east and may extend as far east as the Creek Zone for a potential total strike length of 2 kilometres (see Figure 1).
Based on the most recent drilling results, the North VT Rim trend appears to have a southerly dip of approximately 50 degrees - 55 degrees and strikes parallel to the geology of the Mine Block Intrusion in this area. In the fall of 2012, the Company completed 2,392 metres over 26 holes of surface exploration diamond drilling on the North VT Rim trend. Holes were arranged in fans to ensure a tight spacing (approximately 10-metre centres) of pierce points on the mineralized trend. Drilling was concentrated in the upper 50 metres of the trend and in two areas separated by approximately 400 metres. This drill hole layout was designed to provide additional insights into both local 3D and along strike 2D grade variability. The estimated true widths are between 50-90% of the actual drill intersections reported. Highlights are shown in Table 4 below.
The Company is conducting applied mineralogical research on selected trench samples from the North VT Rim trend. The research is being conducted at the Micro Analytical Facility at Brandon University, Manitoba.

North LDI Intrusion Surface Drilling
Historical exploration on the North LDI intrusion has identified numerous surface occurrences of anomalous palladium mineralization from 0.1 to 4.0 g/t and generally associated with pyroxenite and peridotite layers and disseminated magmatic sulfide mineralization. There has been limited surface drilling by NAP on the North LDI complex (a total of 3,420 metres in 7 diamond drill holes completed in 2003 and 2009). The geology, geochemistry and mineral potential of the North LDI intrusion is currently being studied by NAP in collaboration with an academic study at Queens University, Ontario.
NAP recently completed an airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey (Geotech Ltd.'s VTEM system - see December 11, 2012 news release) that returned both magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies that helped focus plans for drilling. In the summer of 2012, the Company laid out a fence of four holes designed to better establish the 3D geology and grade distributions on the better exposed eastern part of the intrusion (see Figure 4).
Two of these holes (NL 12-100 and NL 12-101) were completed in the fall of 2012 (total of 2,148 metres) and results have been received for one of these (hole NL 12-100), which intersected a previously unrecognized interval of PGE mineralization at a vertical depth of approximately 400 metres. The intersection cut 2 metres at 3.58 g/t Pd and 1.08 g/t Pt within a broader zone of anomalous palladium and platinum values (e.g., 9 metres at 1.03 g/t Pd; see Appendix). The true width of the mineralization is estimated to be 1.88 metres. It is not yet known if this zone has lateral continuity or what deposit model best fits the observed petrological and mineralogical characteristics. The Company expects to complete the four hole fence later this year and will provide an update on North LDI exploration as new results are received.
To view "FIGURE 4: Geological map for the North LDI intrusion and the LDI mine block intrusion showing the location of the planned four hole fence of surface diamond drill holes at North LDI. Two holes (NL 12-100, NL 12-101) were completed in the fall of 2012", please visit the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/Figure4NAP.jpg.
2013 Exploration Plans
In 2013, NAP's LDI exploration program will be focused on defining extensions to both the Offset Zone and Roby Zone resources and on identifying additional, pit-grade material at surface. Surface exploration will be focused on the Sheriff Zone and the North VT Rim trend and are expected to include the first systematic drilling on the South VT Rim target (see Figures 1 and 4).
Greenfields exploration activity will continue in 2013 with the completion of the Phase 1 drilling program expected by the end of February. A total of 5,000 metres of drilling is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2013, bringing the total for the program to approximately 12,000 metres (see Figure 5). A comprehensive review of the large amount of technical data that has been acquired for the Company's greenfields properties will be undertaken in the second quarter of 2013. The outcomes of this review will include a definition and ranking of exploration drill targets that could be pursued later in the year.
