(1) Cash costs include cash costs of mine operations, processing and
administrative expenses at the mine site (including overhead, taxes
other than income taxes, royalties, and credits for metals produced
other than palladium and platinum). Total costs of production include
cash costs plus depreciation and amortization. Income taxes,
corporate general and administrative expense and interest income and
expense are not included in either total or cash costs.

(2) Stillwater Mining reports a combined average realized price of
palladium and platinum at the same ratio as ounces are produced from
the base metals refinery. The same ratio is applied to the combined
average market price. The combined average market price represents
the London PM Fix for the actual months of the period.

(3) Revenue is recognized when product is shipped from the company's base
metals refinery to external refiners. Sales are recorded and later
adjusted when sales prices are finalized. Therefore, differences
between realized prices and market prices may occur.
