I like this one for the long term. Nice find. I might just add this one to the portfolio in the coming months, depending on the price of palladium and the re-opening of Lac des Iles mine.
Once palladium prices start moving up, they'll start mining again at Lac des Iles mine. It's been shut down since 10/2008 due to low palladium prices.
I'm waiting for the next big pullback before adding palladium to the portfolio.
I'm looking at 1.25 - 1.35 for an entry point in the next month or two.

{"s" : "pal","k" : "c10,l10,p20,t10","o" : "","j" : ""} Press Release Source: North American Palladium Ltd. On Wednesday January 13, 2010, 5:35 pm EST TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - 01/13/10) - North American Palladium Ltd. ("NAP") (TSX:PDL - News)(AMEX:PAL - News) achieved commercial production as of January 1, 2010 at its wholly-owned Sleeping Giant gold mine in the Abitibi region of northwestern Quebec. Production has increased steadily since the Company poured its first gold bars on October 6, 2009 and NAP expects to produce approximately 50,000 ounces of gold in 2010. Revenue and expenses for the Sleeping Giant gold mine will be reflected in the Company's income statement effective January 1, 2010.
"We are extremely pleased to achieve this latest milestone in NAP's evolution of becoming a diversified precious metals producer," said William J. Biggar, the Company's President and CEO. "I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of our employees for their hard work in reaching this goal. We committed to spending Cdn. $7.5 million to get Sleeping Giant back in production by the end of 2009, and we did so on schedule and on budget. We intend to apply the same discipline to the planned restart this year of our Lac des Iles palladium mine in northwestern Ontario."
NAP's Sleeping Giant gold mine is approximately 80 kilometres north of the town of Amos, Quebec. Its proven and probable gold reserves total approximately 70,000 ounces from approximately 235,300 tonnes grading 9.3 and 9.4 g/t respectively. Its measured and indicated gold resources total approximately 82,000 ounces from approximately 250,000 tonnes grading 8.7 and 10.3 g/t respectively. The Company believes there is significant exploration upside at Sleeping Giant, and an aggressive exploration program is currently underway to add to the Company's reserves and resources at Sleeping Giant, and extend the life of mine.

NAP: "Gold production per annum from our expected annual production of 50,000 ounces at our Sleeping Giant mine." That’s $65 million annually extra now that the mine is back online. Earnings should be good.
Our vision is to become a mid-tier precious metals company with multiple mines operating in mining-friendly jurisdictions.
In addition to our platinum group metals production and exploration at the Lac des Iles mine, our objective is to grow to 250,000 ounces of gold production per annum from our expected annual production of 50,000 ounces at our Sleeping Giant mine.

North American Palladium Ltd. ("NAP" or the "Company") (TSX:PDL - News)(AMEX:PAL - News) today announced financial results and operational updates for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.
"We are pleased to report that NAP has returned to profitability in the third quarter," said William J. Biggar. "I think this milestone is indicative of the Company's transformation over the last two years as we pursue our vision to become a mid tier precious metals producer. The execution of our strategic plan to optimize operations and reduce costs at LDI has driven improved financial performance. LDI is operating efficiently and the mine expansion is progressing on schedule."
Highlights
-- Produced 34,420 ounces of payable palladium at a cash cost of US$218 per ounce;-- Since restart of mine production in May 2010, produced 62,258 ounces of payable palladium at a cash cost of US$253 per ounce;-- Net income in Q3 of $3.2 million or $0.02 per share;-- Announced Lac des Iles ("LDI") mine expansion plans, expected to nearly double palladium production while significantly reducing cash costs and extend mine life;-- Mine expansion commenced and progressing on schedule, targeting production from the shaft by third quarter 2012;-- Achieved a significant safety milestone at LDI of a two-year track record without a single injury that resulted in lost time; and-- Management further strengthened through appointment of Greg Struble as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Financial Results
During the third quarter of 2010, NAP returned to profitability with increased earnings and cash flow. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $3.2 million or $0.02 per share compared to a net loss of $6.2 million or $0.06 per share in the same quarter last year.
EBITDA was $5.6 million for the third quarter, compared to a negative $6.2 million in the same quarter last year.
Revenue, after pricing adjustments, increased to $38.5 million in the third quarter, compared to a nominal amount in the same quarter last year. Revenue was $33.4 million from LDI, and $5.1 million from Sleeping Giant.
In the third quarter, NAP provided cash from operating activities of $6.0 million, before changes in non-cash working capital, or $0.04 per share,(i) as compared to cash used in operations of $5.8 million, before changes in non-cash working capital, or $0.06 per share,(i) for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. This increase is due primarily to the increased net income of $12.5 million (of which amortization represents $3.1 million), partially offset by the future income and mining tax recoveries ($1.0 million).
For the third quarter, cash used in operations was $20.1 million compared to $8.9 million in the corresponding period last year.
As at September 30, 2010, the Company has approximately $161 million in working capital (including $114 million cash on hand) and no long-term debt.
During the third quarter in July, the Company also entered into a $30 million operating line of credit with the Bank of Nova Scotia. The credit facility has a term of one year and is secured by the Company's accounts receivables, intended to be used for working capital liquidity and general corporate purposes.
"NAP showed improved financial performance in the third quarter with the achievement of our return to profitability," said Jeffrey A. Swinoga, Vice President, Finance and CFO. "The increased cash flow from LDI supports our funding strategy as we begin to invest over $200 million over the next couple of years to grow our palladium production, reduce our cash costs per ounce, and expand our operating margin."
NAP's consolidated financial statements for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010 are available in the Appendix of this news release. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in 2009. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes and management's discussion and analysis available at www.nap.com,www.sedar.com, and www.sec.gov.

Operational Updates
Lac des Iles Palladium Mine
The LDI mine continues to perform very well with improved head grades at the mill. During the third quarter, NAP produced 34,420 ounces of payable palladium, at total cash costs of US$218 per ounce. LDI's cash costs were less than the Company's forecast due to better than expected head grades and higher revenue from the mine's byproduct credit metals (platinum, gold, nickel and copper). Since the restart of mine production in May, LDI has produced 62,259 ounces of palladium to September 30, 2010 at a cash cost of US$253 per ounce.
Of the 225,960 tonnes of ore that was extracted from the LDI mine during the quarter, 220,694 tonnes came from the Roby Zone with an average palladium grade of 6.95 grams per tonne, and 5,266 tonnes of silling ore came from the top of Offset Zone at an average palladium grade of 9.37 grams per tonne. The average palladium head grade at the mill was 7.05 grams per tonne with a palladium recovery of 82.1%.
During the quarter, NAP announced its LDI mine expansion plans with the objective of achieving a seamless changeover from mining in the Roby Zone (via ramp access) to the Offset Zone (via shaft access). A third party Scoping Study forecasts that the mine expansion will result in palladium production in excess of 250,000 ounces per year at significantly reduced cash costs averaging around US$132 per ounce. The Company is targeting to achieve commercial production from the Offset Zone by the third quarter of 2012 and initial development is underway, progressing on NAP's projected timeline.
Detailed engineering of the surface hoisting plant and production shaft was initiated in May 2010 and is on schedule to be completed by the end of the year. Timing risk has been substantially diminished as the Company has already purchased the production, sinking and service cage hoists that are critical to the project. During the quarter, the Company awarded the raiseboring contract to Redpath Mining for the shaft construction, and a contract to Cementation Inc. for raiseboring the ventilation raise. All senior positions of the Offset Zone project team have been hired and the team is onsite at LDI overseeing all aspects of the Offset Zone development.
NAP's $15-million, 68,000-metre drilling and exploration program for LDI is ongoing, and an exploration update on the 2010 program is expected later in November. The exploration update will also include an updated reserve classification on the Roby Zone.
Sleeping Giant Gold Mine
During the third quarter, 3,879 ounces of gold were produced at a cash cost of US$1,660 per ounce. The average gold grade was 5.8 grams per tonne, below the average resource grade of 9.3 grams per tonne at the mine, with gold recovery of 95.5%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Sleeping Giant produced 12,979 ounces of gold.
Since commencing operations, mining activities have been confined to zones mined by the previous owner. The ramp up to steady-state production in these zones has proceeded at a slower pace as the tonnes and grade were not in line with initial expectations. The Company's original mine plan was based on a technical report with wider drill spacing, which considering the mine's geology, caused some of the challenges in accessing the higher grades.
Development work at Sleeping Giant continued in the third quarter, focused on implementing a number of measures to manage the mine's ramp-up issues. Tighter infill drilling is now being conducted to better manage grade control issues and shrinkage and long-hole stopes are being favoured over room and pillar stopes due to the higher certainty over grade and tonnage recovered. The Company will continue to adjust its mine plan and methods in order to optimize operations.
New higher grade zones are currently under development in preparation for 2011 production. A long-term solution is expected in the second quarter of 2011, once the Company's development team has completed a 200-metre shaft deepening. This will allow the Company to access new stopes in zones that have historically provided good tonnage and higher grade feed for the mill.
The Company is also currently completing a mill expansion study of its Sleeping Giant mill. If developed, NAP's other gold assets, in conjunction with the Sleeping Giant mine, have the potential to collectively produce in the range of 125,000 ounces of gold per year from an expanded Sleeping Giant mill.
Over 30,000 metres of underground extensional drilling has been completed at Sleeping Giant to September 30, 2010. An additional 5,000 metres are planned for the fourth quarter. The goal of the 2010 drilling is to define and extend the zones within the current mine and at depth. Results will be released in the first quarter of 2011.
Outlook
During the third quarter of 2010, spot palladium prices averaged US$495 per ounce, and US$477 for the first nine months of the year. As a result of strong investment and fabrication demand and constrained supply, palladium has been the best performing metal in 2010 and recently was at a nine year high of over US$700 per ounce. NAP is well positioned to benefit from the forecasted rise in the price of palladium as the LDI mine expansion is expected to significantly increase production.
In the near term, the Company will focus on:
-- Growing palladium production at LDI while continuing to optimize costs;-- Continuing to advance the LDI mine expansion, including development work on the ramp, ventilation, shaft and mining levels;-- Continuing exploration programs aimed at increasing reserves and resources at LDI and in the gold division;-- Improving operating results at Sleeping Giant by continuing to implement a number of measures to mitigate the ramp-up issues, and continuing the deepening of the mine shaft to facilitate development of new zones at depth; and-- Determining expansion plans for NAP's gold assets and the underutilized Sleeping Giant mill. The Company currently expects fourth quarter production and cash costs, net of byproduct credits, to be similar to the third quarter for both the LDI and Sleeping Giant mines. In early 2011, NAP intends to announce its 2011 guidance for annual palladium and gold production and cash costs, its budget for exploration, and the expansion plans for its gold assets.
