Recent Tripling of Palladium Resources May Justify Tripling Annual Production to over 200,000 Ounces

* Low price hedges were wound down in Q3/98-now receiving world market price for palladium which is currently trading at about US$400 per ounce;

* Increased geological resources by additional diamond drilling of contained palladium in measured and indicated resources to 5 million ounces up from under 1 million ounces;

* Feasibility study in process to increase mine production from 2,400 tonnes per day to 15,000 tonnes per day and produce over 200,00 ounces of palladium per year;

* Company owes $110 million in debt and $50 million in preferred shares to the Kaiser-Francis Oil Company, the controlling shareholder.

SPECULATIVE BUY (PDL-TSE,$3.80)

North America Palladium shares present a unique opportunity to invest in North America's only other primary palladium producer. Palladium contained in resources have increased by five times and a bankable feasibility study is underway to lead to a tripling of production to over 200,000 ounces per year at estimated cash costs below US$150 per ounce. Despite a heavily indebted balance sheet, we believe the large increase in resources to over 5 million ounces will lead to a major financial turnaround for this company over the next two to three years to become a premium mining company. We recommend purchase for risk oriented investors.
