NAP’s President and CEO, William J. Biggar said:

We expect modest growth in palladium production in 2012, a year in which our top priority is the completion of Phase I of the LDI mine expansion with the commissioning of the new shaft by year-end. This will enable us, starting in 2013, to reduce our cash costs per ounce while allowing us to increase production.
