NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY

   

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (the “Company”) is a British Columbia company amalgamated on February 18, 2002. The Company’s shares are publicly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada and the NYSE MKT LLC in the United States. The Company’s address is Suite 328-550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2B5.

   

The Company is an exploration and development company conducting work on mineral properties it has staked or acquired by way of option agreements in Canada and the Republic of South Africa. The Company is currently developing the Project 1 Platinum Mine in South Africa, in which it holds a 74% working interest. A formal Mining Right was granted for the project on April 4, 2012 by the Government of South Africa.

   

The Company is currently working with a syndicate of international banks (the “Lenders”) to complete a $260 million senior loan facility for the project. The negotiations have advanced through detailed technical, financial and legal due diligence. Credit committee approval by the Lenders was announced on December 6, 2012. Closing and draw down of the loan facility is now subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation and certain conditions precedent, including, among other things, the Company matching certain financial ratios including debt to equity for the full cost to complete, as determined by the banks at the time of draw down, the execution of a concentrate off take agreement, the acquisition and maintenance of all requisite permits and licences and the establishment of an agreed metals hedging program. The Company will also be responsible for its 74% share of a cost overrun facility, estimated to be between USD $50 million and $100 million on a 100% basis, and working capital as needed to satisfy the Lenders’ requirements. The Company will be required to fund its 74% share of Project 1 funding over and above that which is to be provided by the senior loan facility. Failure by the Company to provide its share of required funding may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of exploration, development, or production on any or all of the Company’s properties, or even a loss of property interests.

   

These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company’s subsidiaries and significant investments are as follows:

   

Platinum Group Metals (RSA) (Pty) Ltd. - Johannesburg, RSA (100% ownership) Maseve Investments 11 (Pty) Ltd. - Johannesburg, RSA (74% ownership) Wesplats Holdings (Pty) Limited - Johannesburg, RSA (100% ownership) Platinum Group Metals (Barbados) Ltd., Barbados (100% ownership) Mnombo Wethu Consultants (Pty) Limited.

a)

Project 1

Project 1, which is located in the Western Bushveld region of South Africa, and is currently in development, is classified as Property, Plant and Equipment.

  i.

Ownership of Project 1

     
 

Under the terms of an agreement dated April 22, 2010, the Company owns a 74% interest in Project 1 through Maseve Investments 11 (Pty) Ltd. (“Maseve”), while the remaining 26% is owned by Wesizwe Platinum Ltd. (“Wesizwe”). Under the terms of the agreement subscription funds paid by the Company are held in escrow for application towards Wesizwe’s capital requirements for Projects 1. These funds are classified as restricted cash. As of February 28, 2013, the balance of restricted cash is $22,304 ($30,512 – August 31, 2012). For every $74 spent by the Company on project requirements in Maseve, a further $26 can be removed from the restricted cash to cover Wesizwe’s share of such costs.

     
 

The Company consolidated the financial statements of Maseve from the effective date of the reorganization. The portion of Maseve not owned by the Company, calculated at $45,130 at February 28, 2013 ($39,683 – August 31, 2012), is accounted for as a non-controlling interest.

     
  ii.

Other financial information - Project 1

     
 

At February 28, 2013, the Company has posted $3,377 as an environmental performance bond in South Africa, a reduction of $5,321 from the $8,698 balance at August 31, 2012. Approximately $3,000 of the current balance is posted against work on Project 1. By agreement in October 2012 a third party insurer posted a bond to the credit of the DMR in satisfaction of the Company’s environmental guarantee for its Mining Right for Project 1. The Company then received reimbursement of R58.5 million from the DMR for funds the Company had previously placed under bond. As a term of the agreement with the third party insurer, the Company posted R12 million on deposit with The Standard Bank of South Africa against its environmental guarantee obligation and will make further annual deposits of approximately R12 million per annum until the full amount of the environmental guarantee is again on deposit and the third party arrangement will be wound up, or renewed at the Company’s election. Interest on deposits will accrue to the Company. The Company will pay an annual fee of approximately R600,000 to the insurer as compensation.

Waterberg Joint Venture

The Waterberg Joint Venture property is located due north of the town of Mokopane (formerly Potgietersrus). The property consists of a registered new order prospecting right granted by the Government of South Africa. The current prospecting right expired on September 1, 2012. An application for a three year renewal, commencing on the date of renewal, together with the required supporting documentation was filed and duly acknowledged by the Regional Manager, Limpopo Region, Department of Mineral Resources (“DMR”). The holder of a prospecting right may file an application for conversion of a current prospecting right into a mining right.

During 2012 the Company made application to the DMR to acquire three additional prospecting rights adjacent to the West (1 farm for 39.38km 2), North (1 farm for 62.72km 2) and East (1 farm for 16.08km 2) of the existing Waterberg Joint Venture property. In January 2013 the new application to the East was added into the existing prospecting right by way of a Section 102 legal amendment. The other farms to the West and North remain under application.

In October 2009, PTM RSA entered into an agreement with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (“JOGMEC”) and Mnombo Wethu Consultants (Pty) Limited (“Mnombo”) whereby JOGMEC could earn up to a 37% interest in the project for an optional work commitment of USD $3.2 million over 4 years, while at the same time Mnombo, is required to match JOGMEC's expenditures on a 26/74 basis (USD $1.12 million). Under the terms of the October 2009 agreement the Company would retain a 37% share in the Waterberg Joint Venture while Mnombo, a Black Economic Empowerment (“BEE”) partner, would hold the remaining 26% share.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
For the quarter ended February 28, 2013
(in thousands of Canadian dollars)

On November 7, 2011 the Company entered into an agreement with Mnombo whereby the Company acquired 49.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Mnombo in exchange for cash payments totalling R 1.2 million and an agreement that the Company would pay for Mnombo's 26% share of joint venture costs until the completion of a feasibility study. When combined with the Company's 37% direct interest in the Waterberg Joint Venture (after the JOGMEC earn-in), the 12.974% indirect interest acquired through Mnombo brings the Company's effective project interest to 49.974% .

In April 2012, JOGMEC completed its USD $3.2 million earn in requirement as described above. Following JOGMEC’s earn in the Company funded Mnombo’s USD $1.12 million share of costs and the earn-in phase of the joint venture ended in May 2012. Since that an additional USD $11.30 million has been spent on the project. The Company has funded the Company’s and Mnombo’s 63% share of this work for a cost of USD $7.12 million with the remaining USD $4.18 million funded by JOGMEC.

Waterberg Extension

During 2012 the Company also applied to the DMR for further prospecting rights adjacent to the North and East of the existing Waterberg Joint Venture. These extension area applications are not included in the existing joint venture. Upon grant by the DMR the new prospecting license area would cover 665km2 of which the Company would hold a direct 74% interest and Mnombo would hold a 26% interest, leaving the Company with an 86.974% effective interest.

Sable

During 2009, the Company acquired by application prospecting permits in South Africa which became the Sable Joint Venture project area on the Western Limb of the Bushveld Complex, west of Pretoria. Sable Platinum Mining (Pty) Limited (“Sable Platinum”) is earning a 51% interest in exchange for funding approximately $6,000 (R 42.0 million) in work on the project, while a private Black Economic Empowerment group will hold 26%. The Company was the operator of the project until mid-March 2012, after which time operatorship was transitioned to Sable Platinum.

War Springs and Tweespalk

No work was carried out on the War Springs or Tweespalk properties during the period.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
For the quarter ended February 28, 2013
(in thousands of Canadian dollars)

Thunder Bay, Ontario

The Company maintains a large mineral rights position in the Lac des Iles area north of Thunder Bay, Ontario. These holdings include 100% interests in the Lac Des Iles River and Shelby Lake properties and are all subject to a 2.0% NSR royalty. In most cases, the Company may buy back one half of the NSR. In 2012, the Company reviewed the results of its exploration work in the Thunder Bay region and made the decision not to proceed with further work on its Dog River and Bullseye claims. As a result, for the year ending August 31, 2012, the Company wrote off $88 in acquisition and exploration costs incurred to date on these properties. In the quarter ended November 30, 2012, the Company made the decision not to proceed with further work on its Right Angle and Disraeli claims. As a result the Company wrote off $143 in acquisition and exploration costs incurred to date on these properties.

Providence

In September 2011, the Company purchased the Providence Nickel, Copper, Cobalt and Platinum Group Metals property located in the Northwest Territories from Arctic Star Exploration for a payment of $50 and a 1.0% NSR royalty. The claims that comprise the Providence property were expected to be brought to lease after a survey was completed in August 2012 and then filed with the crown. Final lease grant is pending crown approval of the survey. To date the first year lease payment and application fees have been paid. Total acquisition costs were $78. As of February 28, 2013, the Company has spent $1,687 (August 31, 2012 - $1,640) toward exploration on the property.

Title to mineral properties

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
