North American palladium Reports Third Quarter 2008 Financial Results and Strong Liquidity Position
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 10, 2008) - North American palladium Ltd. (TSX:PDL)(AMEX:PAL), today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2008.

"The unprecedented speed and magnitude of the decline in metal prices resulted in a significant loss for the Company in the third quarter" said William Biggar, President and CEO. "As previously announced on October 21, 2008, we have put our Lac des Iles Mine on a care and maintenance basis until metal prices improve. In the interim, we will utilize our strong balance sheet to focus on exploration around the mine site and elsewhere on our 21,000 acre property, as well as strategic initiatives including acquisitions and joint ventures."

HIGHLIGHTS

- The Company is in a strong liquidity position. Working capital was $105.5 million at September 30, 2008, including cash and cash equivalents of $66.4 million. At the end of the third quarter 2008, long-term debt was $1.9 million.

- Revenue before pricing adjustments was $35.3 million for the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of $7.3 million (17%) compared to the same period last year. Mark-to-market pricing and foreign currency adjustments amounted to negative $44.2 million due to a rapidly declining commodity price environment during the quarter. Revenue after pricing adjustments was negative $8.9 million.

- palladium sales for the third quarter of 2008 were recognized for accounting purposes at US$199 per ounce, a 42% decrease compared to US$344 per ounce in the same period last year.

- Loss from mining operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $66.0 million compared to a loss of $10.2 million in the same period last year. This loss includes the $44.2 million in pricing adjustments, as well as a $5.6 million write-down of ore and concentrate inventories due to the decline in commodity prices.

- Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $71.2 million or $0.85 per share compared to a net loss of $14.0 million or $0.25 per share in the third quarter last year.

Third Quarter 2008 Results

palladium production volumes in the third quarter of 2008 decreased by 8% to 63,791 ounces versus 69,283 ounces in the same period last year. palladium production for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was 190,673 ounces compared to 214,139 ounces in the same period last year.

palladium sales in the third quarter of 2008 were recorded at US$199 per ounce, a price decrease of 42%, compared to US$344 per ounce in the same period last year.

Revenue before pricing adjustments for the third quarter of 2008 was $35.3 million, a decrease of $7.3 million (17%) compared to the third quarter of 2007 reflecting primarily the impact of declining commodity prices and lower production volumes. Negative pricing adjustments from settlements and mark-to-market of concentrate awaiting settlement decreased third quarter 2008 revenue by $44.2 million ($47.2 million negative commodity price adjustment and a $3.0 million favourable foreign exchange rate adjustment) which led to negative revenue after pricing adjustments of $8.9 million, a decrease of $45.4 million compared to third quarter 2007 revenue of $36.5 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, revenue after pricing adjustments was $114.1 million, a decrease of $35.3 million (24%) compared to $149.4 million in the same period last year. Negative pricing adjustments from settlements and mark-to-market of concentrate awaiting settlement decreased revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 by $24.6 million ($31.4 million negative commodity price adjustment and a $6.8 million favourable foreign exchange rate adjustment).

Cash cost per ounce(1) of palladium produced, net of by-product metal revenues and royalties, was US$530 per ounce for the third quarter of 2008 versus US$225 per ounce for the same period last year. The significant increase in cash cost per ounce is attributable to the reduction of by-product revenue due to lower commodity prices.

The Company recognized a loss from mining operations of $66.0 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to a loss of $10.2 million in the same period last year. This loss includes the $44.2 million in pricing adjustments, as well as a $5.6 million write-down of ore and concentrate inventories due to the decline in commodity prices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded a loss from mining operations, before an insurance recovery of $13.8 million, of $37.0 million compared to income from mining operations of $1.5 million for the same period last year.

The net loss for the third quarter of 2008 was $71.2 million or $0.85 per share compared to a net loss of $14.0 million or $0.25 per share in the same period last year.

As at September 30, 2008 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $66.4 million compared to $74.6 million as at December 31, 2007. Net working capital as at September 30, 2008 was $105.5 million compared to $128.4 million at December 31, 2007.

The Company's current and long-term debt position was reduced to $12.3 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $39.1 million at December 31, 2007, a reduction of $26.8 million.

Outlook

For the balance of 2008 and into 2009, the Company will continue to focus on the development of its Offset High Grade Zone (OHGZ) deposit which is believed to be the fault displaced continuation of the Roby Zone. The OHGZ is still open along strike to the north, south and at depth. The Roby Zone is the main Platinum Group Metals deposit at the Lac des Iles Mine which has been mined for 15 years and recently produced approximately 250,000 ounces of palladium and significant by-product credits annually.

The temporary closing of the Lac des Iles Mine will cut expenses and maintain the Company's strong balance sheet and liquidity position. As at September 30, 2008 the Company had working capital of $105.5 million including cash and cash equivalents of $66.4 million, and long-term debt of $1.9 million. In addition to the cash on hand, management expects to realize significant cash flow over the next few months as payment is received for metal sales made prior to the closure.

While in care and maintenance mode, the Company will retain the senior mine management team and facility security. The Company will also retain its exploration and financial teams in Thunder Bay and the small corporate staff in Toronto. Management estimates that corporate overhead, personnel costs and facility and maintenance expenditures at the mine will be in the range of $5.0 million to $6.0 million per quarter excluding discretionary investment in exploration activities.

Going forward, management intends to focus on strategic initiatives, including:

1. Continuing the work required to complete a feasibility study on the Offset High Grade Zone. This project has the potential to extend the life of the Lac des Iles Mine significantly.

2. Utilizing our experienced new exploration team to carry out drilling and exploration operations at Lac des Iles to further delineate resources as well as maintaining grassroots exploration on the property adjacent to the mine; and

3. Leveraging the Company's strong balance sheet to pursue potential acquisitions and joint venture opportunities that may emerge in these difficult and volatile markets.

In the current environment, management expects that there will be many attractive strategic options to consider. The Company will pursue acquisition opportunities aggressively and with discipline to enhance shareholder value over the long-term.

(1) Non-GAAP Measure

This press release refers to cash cost per ounce which is not a recognized measure under Canadian GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to a similar measure presented by other issuers. Management uses this measure internally. The use of this measure enables management to better assess performance trends. Management understands that a number of investors and others who follow the Company's performance assess performance in this way. Management believes that this measure better reflects the Company's performance for the current period and is a better indication of its expected performance in future periods. This data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable Canadian GAAP measure:
