TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 7, 2017) - North American Palladium Ltd. ("NAP" or the "Company") (TSX:PDL)(OTC PINK:PALDF) announced today that it has filed a preliminary base shelf prospectus (the "Shelf Prospectus") with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (other than Quebec).
