NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS REGARDING RESOURCE ESTIMATES:

Estimates of mineralization and other technical information included or incorporated by reference herein has been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). The definitions of proven and probable reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. As a result, the reserves reported by the Company in accordance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as “reserves” under SEC standards. In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Additionally, disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian securities laws; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measurements. Accordingly, information contained in this MD&A and the documents incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of the Company’s mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION:

The technical and scientific information contained in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by R. Michael Jones, P.Eng, President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. Mr. Jones is a non-independent “qualified person” as defined in NI 43-101 (a “Qualified Person”).

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. is a British Columbia, Canada, company amalgamated on February 18, 2002 pursuant to an order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving an amalgamation between Platinum Group Metals Ltd. and New Millennium Metals Corporation. The Company is a platinum-focused exploration and development company conducting work primarily on mineral properties it has staked or acquired by way of option agreements in the Republic of South Africa and in Canada.

The Company’s business is currently focused on the construction of the Project 1 platinum mine (“Project 1”) and the exploration and initial engineering on the newly discovered Waterberg Platinum deposit, where the Company is the operator of the Waterberg joint venture project (the “Waterberg JV Project”) with the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (“JOGMEC”) and Mnombo Wethu Consultants (Pty) Ltd. (“Mnombo”). The Company has also expanded its exploration on to the prospecting rights covering 530 square kilometers immediately adjacent and north of the Waterberg JV Project property (the “Waterberg Extension Project” and, together with the Waterberg JV Project, the “Waterberg Projects”). As a result of the resource scale and thickness of the Waterberg deposit, the Waterberg Projects have increased in importance in the Company’s business recently.

The Company’s current complement of managers, staff and consultants in Canada consist of approximately 13 individuals and the Company’s complement of managers, staff, consultants and casual workers in South Africa consist of approximately 139 individuals.

Project 1 is operated by the Company on an “owner managed-contractor” basis. At present the Company has 20 of its staff, 41 technical services and security staff and 11 human resources and labour consultants assigned to Project 1. JIC Mining Services (“JIC”) has approximately 429 people assigned to both the north and south mine areas at Project 1. Engineering, procurement, construction and management (“EPCM”) contractor DRA Mining (Pty) Ltd. completed its initial engagement with the Company for Phase 1 establishment of the underground development of the north mine declines in mid-2012, after which Company personnel assumed management over underground services provided by JIC. Since December 2012 DRA Mineral Projects (Pty) Ltd. (“DRA”) has been formally engaged as EPCM contractor for commencement of Phase 2 surface infrastructure including mill and flotation circuit construction. DRA is managing approximately 589 people working on site at Project 1 assigned to earthworks, civil construction of surface infrastructure, civil construction of the concentrator plant and perimeter security fencing. Of the people working on site at Project 1 in South Africa at present, approximately 20% are people from the local communities surrounding Project 1.

For the three months ended November 30, 2013

General management and support services in South Africa were larger compared to the previous period in response to growth at Project 1 and the Waterberg Projects. New office premises were leased in Canada in the fourth fiscal quarter of the last fiscal year due to the expiration of lease arrangements and new offices were leased in South Africa due to growth. In addition to its existing general office space, the Company utilizes facilities at the Company-owned Sundown Ranch property for Project 1 mine site administration, site induction and staff services and uses a secure compound and core storage facility at the Company-owned Elandsfontein Farm, adjacent to Project 1. The Company also rents a secure compound for core storage, administration and field services near the Waterberg Projects.

2. PROPERTIES

Under IFRS, the Company defers all acquisition, exploration and development costs related to mineral properties. The recoverability of these amounts is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of the property, and any future profitable production; or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its property interests on a regular basis. Any properties management deems to be impaired are written down to their estimated net recoverable amount or written off. For more information on mineral properties, see below and Notes 5 and 6 of the Company’s Financial Statements.

SOUTH AFRICAN PROPERTIES

The Company conducts its South African exploration and development work through its wholly-owned direct subsidiary Platinum Group Metals RSA (Pty.) Ltd. (“PTM RSA”). Development of Project 1 is conducted through Maseve Investments 11 (Pty) Ltd. (“Maseve”), a company that is currently held 74% by PTM RSA and 26% by Africa Wide Mineral Prospecting and Exploration (Pty) Limited (“Africa Wide”), which is in turn owned 100% by Johannesburg Stock Exchange listed Wesizwe Platinum Limited (“Wesizwe”). See “Project 1 and Project 3 – Africa Wide Dilution” for details regarding the dilution of Africa Wide’s shareholding in Maseve.

The Company is the operator of the Waterberg Projects, consisting of the Waterberg JV Project and the Company’s exploration on prospecting rights on the Waterberg Extension Project. The Company conducts all of its exploration activities at the Waterberg Projects through PTM RSA. As a result of the resource scale and thickness of the Waterberg deposit, exploration activities at the Waterberg Projects have increased in importance in the Company’s business.

Project 1 and Project 3, South Africa

Projects 1 and 3 – Activities in the Period ended November 30, 2013

During the three months ended November 30, 2013, the Company incurred $36.1 million in development costs for Project 1 and did not incur any significant costs on Project 3, located adjacent to and to the north of Project 1. In the prior year comparative period, total Project 1 and Project 3 expenditures amounted to $8.51 million. At November 30, 2013, the Company carries total deferred development costs related to Project 1 of $271 million and another $3.2 million related to Project 3. Africa Wide’s non-controlling interest in Maseve as at November 30, 2013 is recorded at $56.5 million.

The original Phase 1 development program was budgeted at R856.83 million (approximately US$100 million at the time). Including the effect of both increases and decreases in scope, Phase 1 was completed in March 2013 at a total cost of R777.20 million; however a further amount of R81.3 million related to deferred expenditures for electrical services is still expected to be incurred, bringing the Phase 1 total cost essentially to budget. Phase 1 was completed approximately 12 weeks behind original schedule as set at commencement. Schedule delays occurred as a result of the time taken to obtain permits and sub-optimal civil contractor performance early in Phase 1 related to electrical procurement, construction of sumps and high wall steel work installation. During the period from February to March 2013 advance was halted or delayed for approximately a month due to a Notice under Section 54 of the Mine Health and Safety Act (1996) as described below.

The north decline box cut excavation brings the working area down an access ramp from surface for 128 metres linear and 20 metres vertical to where the north declines enter the underground. From the portal entrance or “collar” the north declines are now approximately 1,589 metres linear (at November 30) and approximately 240 metres vertical (at November 30) into the underground. This brings development to the first infrastructure level in order to provide for storage bins for conveyor transfers from various mining blocks at depth as well as workshops, reef drive take offs, ventilation headings and other ancillary excavations. Approximately 1,545 (at November 30) metres of development has now been completed from the bottom of the declines along this first important infrastructural level. Multiple cross cuts between declines of 10 metres in length and multiple re-muck bays have also been installed as well as sumps and water management facilities. A ventilation raise bore was commenced in August 2013 and completed in October 2013. The boring of a second ventilation raise is now underway with the pilot hole complete and back reaming set to begin (at November 30). Completion of this second ventilation raise bore is scheduled for later January, 2014.

On March 28, 2013 the Merensky Reef was intercepted in the north declines as had been projected in the mine geological model. An underground drive along the strike of the deposit has now advanced on the Merensky Reef approximate position northward for approximately 595 metres (at November 30), exposing approximately 175 meters of well-developed reef. Raise development into the mine blocks has commenced and continues. Shallow Merensky Reef mine blocks are exhibiting rolling features where the critical zone of the Bushveld Igneous Complex is in close proximity to the Transvaal Sediment floor rocks. This condition, referred to as an abutment facies of the Merensky Reef, is common to the shallow portions of the adjacent operating mine. Small scale stock piling of Merensky Reef material on surface has begun with approximately 36,000 tonnes on surface (at November 30). As development opens areas of Merensky Reef, an evaluation of the initial mining blocks will be completed by Company geologists and engineers. In addition to the drives along the reef position laterally the north declines have now turned and are continuing from the first infrastructural level targeting deeper mine blocks. At present the declines have advanced approximately 300 linear meters toward block 11 and 40 meters toward block 12 (at November 30). At several locations near and at the first infrastructure level near the current bottom of the north declines, localised rock conditions required the installation of additional support. With the continued sinking of the declines to depth it is expected that ground conditions will improve.

Crews working on the north declines regularly achieve rates of face advance at the planned 100 metres per month as described in the technical report entitled “Updated Technical Report (Updated Feasibility Study Western Bushveld Joint Venture Project 1 (Elandsfontein and Frischgewaagd))” dated November 20, 2009 with an effective date of October 8, 2009 prepared by Gordon I. Cunningham, Charles J. Muller, Timothy V. Spindler and Byron Stewart (the “2009 UFS”). The rate of underground development in the north and south declines continues to be an important factor with respect to future mine production rates. Delays in underground development, stopping rates and planned tonnages may result in delayed start-up of production and may have a negative impact on peak funding and working capital requirements.

During early fiscal 2012, geo-technical drilling and survey work was completed at the planned site of the twin southern declines. A tender process was completed and the Company awarded a contract for earthworks and civil construction at the south decline site. This work commenced after a mining right for Project 1 was granted in April 2012. The south box cut is now complete and underground mining has advanced the twin declines for approximately 200 metres (at November 30). The south decline Phase 2 development is behind the original planned schedule. The development of the south declines has progressed slower than anticipated due to poor ground conditions in the first 50 metres vertical from surface. Work to deal with these conditions included consolidation support, grouting, void filling and the installation of steel sets. The south declines are now advancing into more competent rock. Development rates are improving and are expected to continue improving as vertical depth increases.

For the three months ended November 30, 2013

On June 14, 2013 the Company announced that as a result of the slower development rates in the south mine and a one month project delay as a result of Section 54 safety work stoppages, the targeted start date for first concentrate production had been adjusted by six months to mid-2015.

As of the date of this MD&A, approximately $226 million has been invested in Phase 1 and Phase 2 development assets and construction in progress (not including mining equipment, land or non-mining related buildings). Estimated initial production and concentrate sales in mid-2015 are expected to be further delayed. The amount of time for the further delay of first concentrate sales depends on the delay in final financing arrangements for the Project 1 and other factors. The ramp-up profile for production from commencement forward over the following two years is similar to previous projections. Delays in ramp-up profile could occur if underground development rates fall behind plan, potentially resulting in delayed revenue from concentrate sales, which would negatively impact peak funding requirements.

Since late 2012 the Company and DRA have been working on design work and preparations for the Phase 2 construction of milling, concentrating and tailings facilities. Tenders for the Primary Mill components, mining development and equipment and other project expenditures have been adjudicated and orders have now been placed resulting in a commitment of R1.19 billion ($124 million at November 30, 2013) over the next two years. The primary run of mine ball mill has been ordered from Outotec RSA (Pty) Ltd. and cleaner flotation cells have been ordered from Metso Mining and Construction (South Africa) Pty Ltd. Phase 2 construction at Project 1 commenced in early January 2013 and earth works and laydown areas for mill and concentrator facilities are now mostly complete. Foundations for major mill and concentrator components are above ground as well. Civil engineering and construction work is well advanced and on schedule. Expected deliveries for all major components remain on schedule. Ancillary servicing for the north decline site, including buildings, piping, cabling, fencing and security, has been completed.

Electrical generating capacity has been overwhelmed by demand in recent years in South Africa, but additional capacity is currently under construction. See “Risk Factors” in the Company’s AIF.

South African power utility company ESKOM (“ESKOM”) gave notice to Maseve in March 2013 that it will be unable to install a planned 132KVA power infrastructure for delivery of a full 40 megavolt ampere (“MVA”) service to Project 1 as originally scheduled. Notwithstanding this the Company expects that power requirements for Project 1 will be met as and when required. Power lines and a sub-station at commercial scale have been installed on site. A construction supply of 1.5 MVA was installed to the property in 2012. ESKOM has completed installation of transformers for an initial 10MVA service to site and commissioning of that service occurred in October 2013. The mining and milling operations of Project 1 do not require more than 20 MVA for several years and the full 40MVA service is not required until 2017 and beyond in the current mine plan. ESKOM’s engineers and the Company have approved a plan to use an existing 88KVA regional infrastructure to provide the mine site with power as needed during ramp-up and documentation for this change is in progress.

The Company has paid deposits to ESKOM of R59.22 million (approximately $6.17 million at November 30, 2013) of R142.22 million in estimated costs (approximately $14.81 million at November 30, 2013) for ESKOM’s work in designing and constructing infrastructure for the delivery of electrical power to the property.

In February 2013 the National Energy Regulator of South Africa approved an 8% annual rate increase in the electricity tariff for the next five years. This escalation is within the general sensitivities for total costs as considered in the 2009 UFS. Increased power costs will affect all producers of platinum in South Africa.

At full capacity the Project 1 mine is estimated to require a maximum water supply of 6 megalitres/day (“ML/day”). In 2011, Maseve entered into an agreement with regional water supplier Magalies Water (“Magalies”) for a temporary 0.5 ML/day water supply. The construction of a water pipeline to site was completed in 2012 and the temporary water supply is now in service. On site water management infrastructure was built at a scale suitable for full scale production for Project 1. An agreement between Maseve and Magalies for a permanent water supply of 6 ML/day was executed in late November 2012 and full scale service is expected to begin when required. Magalies, Wesizwe and Maseve are currently cooperating to design, purchase and install a pipeline connected to Magalies local supply for delivery of full scale service as planned to both Project 1 and Wesizwe’s nearby operations. Magalies currently has existing capacity to supply Project 1, but will need to complete new regional infrastructure to meet expected mine and municipal demand in the future.

On September 5, 2012, Maseve received notice from Rustenburg Platinum Mines Ltd. (“RPM”) regarding RPM’s exercise of its 60-day right of first refusal to enter into an agreement with Maseve on terms equivalent to indicative terms agreed to by Maseve with another commercial off-taker for the sale of concentrate produced from Project 1 and Project 3. Formal legal off-take agreements were executed in April 2013 based on the third party indicative terms. The terms of the executed off-take agreement with RPM are not materially different than those modeled in the 2009 UFS.

Working with a third party specialist, the Company has acquired and maintains insurance coverage in South Africa for Project 1 including policies for course of construction, wrap around liability and a South African special risks policy.

Project 1 - Safety

The Company considers safety at Project 1 to be its first priority. A formalized safety training, testing and monitoring regime administered by a third party specialized consulting firm has been underway for Project 1 since commencement of Phase 2 and continues at present.

On February 13, 2013 Moshiko Molepo, an employee of a surface earth works contractor, was involved in an incident on surface at the Project 1 mine site and subsequently died while receiving medical care. A formal inquiry with respect to the fatality was commenced on August 20, 2013 for three days and was then adjourned. The inquiry was scheduled to reconvene in late 2013 but was postponed to March 2014. The Company does not anticipate any material claims being brought against it arising from this incident.

Project 1 - Financial Overview

The Company completed a definitive feasibility study in July 2008 and the 2009 UFS in October 2009 for Project 1, which was at that time a portion of the Western Bushveld joint venture (“WBJV”) in South Africa. Included in each study is a declaration of four element or “4E” reserve ounces of combined platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold at the time of publication.

The base case for the 2009 UFS was modeled using 3 year trailing metal prices at September 2009, including US$1,343 per ounce platinum, an exchange rate of R8 to the U.S. Dollar. Since April 2013 there has been significant volatility in the market prices for base metals and for gold and other precious metals such as platinum and palladium. In recent months the Rand has weakened to approximately R10.6 to each 1 US$. Weakening metal prices or a stronger Rand will each have a negative effect on peak funding estimates for Project 1. The escalation of costs, metal price volatility, production ramp up timing and Rand volatility are all material risk factors for Project 1.

The Company completed an equity financing in October 2010 and a portion of the proceeds was used to initiate a US$100 million Phase 1 development and bulk sample program at Project 1, which also included surface and earth works.

In April 2012, the Company completed a revised cost budget estimate based on post-2009 UFS work for inclusion in a financial model for a syndicate of lead arrangers. The Company referred to industry sources and Qualified Persons for updated cost information and also applied experience gained during procurement and construction under the Phase 1 development program currently underway. The revised peak funding estimate, which is calculated in Rand, was published in April 2012 and includes both Phase 1 and Phase 2 in their entirety. The revised estimate was approximately US$506 million (at R8 to the US$) for the construction and commissioning of Project 1, representing an escalation of approximately 14% since the 2009 UFS. Operating costs per tonne were estimated to have escalated approximately 24% since the 2009 UFS. These operating cost escalation estimates are in keeping with inflation rates and industry experience in South Africa since 2009.

For the three months ended November 30, 2013

On June 14, 2013 the Company announced that as a result of slower than planned development rates in the south mine, and a one month project delay as a result of Section 54 safety work stoppages, the targeted start date for first concentrate production had been adjusted by six months to mid-2015. As of the date of this MD&A, approximately $228 million has been invested in Phase 1 and Phase 2 construction and estimated initial production and concentrate sales in mid-2015 are expected to be further delayed. The amount of time for the further delay of first concentrate sales depends on the delay in final financing arrangements for the Project 1 and other factors. The ramp-up profile for production from commencement forward over the following two years is similar to previous projections.

The Company is seeing escalation in Rand terms at Project 1 in areas such as labour, diesel fuel, power and certain supplies. These escalations have been consistent with those seen in the South African mining industry in general over recent years. Major service contracts and equipment purchase contracts are collectively in keeping with previous cost estimates plus industry escalation. The Company’s original cost estimates were modelled at 8 Rand to the US Dollar. With the Rand currently at or near 10.6 Rand to the US Dollar these cost escalations are substantially offset in US Dollar terms, however, diesel petroleum products are marked to US Dollar prices and a weakening Rand has the effect of raising Rand-based fuel costs.

When based on longer term metal price assumptions the net effect of escalation and project delays was estimated by the Company in June, 2013 at less than a 10% increase from previous cost estimates in US Dollars, however weakening metal price assumptions or a stronger Rand will each have a negative effect on peak funding estimates for Project 1. Delays in underground development or delays in delivery of ore tonnage to surface stockpiles will also have a negative effect on peak funding requirements. The escalation of costs, metal price volatility, production ramp up timing and Rand volatility are all material risk factors for Project 1. As a result of the decision of Africa Wide on October 18, 2013 not to fund a cash call approved by the Maseve board of directors, and the consequent delays in finalization of the Project 1 finance package including project lending, a procurement freeze was implemented on Project 1. The resulting delay in implementing construction contracts combined with potential delays in ramping-up mining ore may result in a decision to further delay the completion of mill construction and the first concentrate sales.

On December 9 2013, the Company announced a bought deal financing for 148.5 million common shares of the Company at a price of $1.18 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $175.23 million. The offering closed December 31, 2013 with net proceeds to the Company after fees, commissions and costs of approximately $166 million. The Company had granted the underwriters an option, exercisable at the offering price for a period of 30 days following the closing of the offering, to purchase up to an additional 15% of the offering to cover over allotments, if any. The over allotment option will not be exercised. The completion of this equity financing will allow the Company to recommence on many significant contracts and critical path items for Project 1.

Apart from delays and updated financial estimates, the general mine plan for Project 1 is substantially unchanged from the 2009 UFS with a steady state production rate of 275,000 4E platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold derived from decline accessed Merensky and UG-2 ore.

Project 1 and Project 3 - Africa Wide Dilution

On October 18, 2013, Wesize, through its subsidiary Africa Wide, informed the Company that it would not be funding its approximately US$21.8 million share of a project budget and cash call for Project 1 that had been unanimously approved by the Maseve board of directors. As a result of the failure to fund its share of the cash call, Africa Wide’s interest in Maseve, and therefore Project 1 and Project 3, will be diluted in accordance with the terms of the Maseve Shareholders’ Agreement.

For the three months ended November 30, 2013

Based on, and determined in accordance with, the dilution provisions of the Maseve Shareholders’ Agreement, the Company has calculated that once it has paid its 74% share of the approved cash call into Maseve, Africa Wide will be diluted from by 4.98% to a holding in Maseve of 21.02% . However, Africa Wide has calculated its dilution at 3.55%, reducing its shareholding, in its opinion, to 22.45% . At meetings of the shareholders and the board of directors of Maseve held on November 11, 2013, resolutions were passed to unanimously approve the issuance of shares in Maseve to PTM RSA once it has paid its 74% share of the approved cash call into Maseve, which would dilute Africa Wide by 3.55%, with the possible further dilution of another 1.43% sent to arbitration for determination according to the terms of the Maseve Shareholders’ Agreement. As a result of this decision, the Company and the New Arrangers (defined below) agreed to replace the Original Proposed Loan Facility (defined below) for Project 1 with the New Project Loan Facility (defined below) and the Company delayed certain expenditures on Project 1.

As Africa Wide is the Company’s BEE partner for Project 1, and legislation and regulations in South Africa require a 26% equity stake in mining rights to remain in good standing, the Company advised the Department of Mineral Resources of the Government of South Africa (“DMR”) on October 19, 2013 of Africa Wide’s decision to not fund the cash call and the dilution implications as a result thereof. On October 24, 2013 the DMR provided the Company with a letter stating that it will apply the provisions of the Minerals and Petroleum Development Act 28 of 2002 ("MPRDA") related to any administrative processes or decisions to be conducted or taken within a reasonable time and in accordance with the principles of lawfulness, reasonableness and procedural fairness in giving the Company the opportunity to remedy the effect of Africa Wide’s dilution. The Company is currently working on a plan to sell the diluted percentage interest in Maseve previously held by Africa Wide to an alternative, qualified BEE company when shares in Maseve are issued to PTM RSA to account for the dilution of Africa Wide.

Project 1 - New Project Loan Facility

On December 6, 2012 the Company announced that a syndicate of lead arrangers, appointed in August 2011, had obtained credit committee approval for a US$260 million project loan facility (the “Original Proposed Loan Facility”). Closing and draw down of the Original Proposed Loan Facility was still subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation and the satisfaction of conditions precedent.

On November 8, 2013 the Company entered into a new mandate letter with Barclays Bank PLC, Absa Corporate and Investment Bank, a division of Absa Bank Limited, Caterpillar Financial SARL and Societe Generale (London Branch) (the “New Arrangers”) for a US$195 million project loan facility (the “New Project Loan Facility”). The new mandate letter replaces the mandate letter and related documents prepared in connection with the Original Proposed Loan Facility. The new mandate letter requires the New Arrangers to use commercially reasonably efforts to arrange the New Project Loan Facility, and is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including the credit committee and other internal approvals of each of the New Arrangers, the finalization of a facility agreement and related documents, certain corporate restructuring transactions, the New Arrangers’ financial and continued technical due diligence of the Company, any other obligor and Project 1, and the sale of, and receipt of necessary regulatory approvals for, Africa Wide’s diluted interest in Maseve to a qualified BEE entity. Mnombo is currently documented in the new mandate letter as the qualified BEE entity for this sale transaction. Should the Company choose to sell Africa Wide’s diluted interest in Maseve to a different qualified BEE entity to replace Africa Wide, the approval of the New Arrangers would be required. The New Project Loan Facility will require, among other conditions, the Company to provide an estimated $75 million cost overrun facility, to implement a metal hedging program, to guarantee the obligations of Maseve, to obtain a guarantee from Mnombo, to pledge to the New Arrangers the Company’s interest in the capital of Maseve and the Company’s interest in the Waterberg Projects and to satisfy specified financial tests going forward.

There is no certainty that the Company will be able to successfully complete the New Project Loan Facility. As of the date of this MD&A, no binding commitments have been signed by the New Arrangers with respect to the New Project Loan Facility. The New Arrangers are under no obligation to provide the New Project Loan Facility on the terms described in this MD&A, or at all. Failure by the Company to complete the New Project Loan Facility or alternative financing for Project 1, or 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.

The issuance of additional equity capital, if available, to fund project capital requirements, may result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders and would require the approval of the New Arrangers.

Project 1 - Labour Relations

There has recently been significant labour unrest and demands for higher wages by certain labour groups across the gold and platinum mining industries in South Africa. Both legal and illegal or “unprotected” strikes have occurred at several mines since the beginning of August 2012. In limited cases, wage increases have been agreed to by the management of some mining companies. To date, the Company has seen no adverse labour action on its site at the Project 1 mine.

The Company has worked closely with local communities and human resource specialists Requisite Business Solutions (Pty) Ltd. for several years in order to create a database of local persons interested in work at the Project 1 mine, including their skill and experience details. The Company has set a minimum target of 30% local employment for the mine, including persons under the employ of contractors. At present approximately 20% of the onsite workforce is comprised of local persons from the surrounding communities.

The primary union at Project 1 representing the workers of underground mining contractor JIC is the National Union of Mineworkers (“NUM”). The Company maintains an active dialogue with JIC, NUM and its own employees. JIC recently agreed to reasonable terms with the National Union of Mineworkers for a labour contract at the Project 1 platinum mine for a two year period to September 2015. In the future, should higher salaries and wages occur across the industry, the Company will likely be required to comply with higher pay bands, and an increase in labour costs, and therefore higher operating costs could occur. See “Risk Factors” in the Company’s AIF.

Projects 1 and 3 - Mineral Resources and Reserves

The Company provided a statement of mineral reserves for Project 1 in the 2009 UFS and an updated statement of mineral resources for Project 1 in a NI 43-101 technical report dated November 20, 2009 entitled “An Independent Technical Report on Project Areas 1 and 1A of the Western Bushveld Joint Venture (WBJV) Located on the Western Limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex, South Africa” (the “Project 1 Report”). An updated NI 43-101 technical report dated August 31, 2010 entitled “Technical Report on Project 3 Resource Cut Estimation of the Western Bushveld Joint Venture (WBJV) Located on the Western Limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex, South Africa” (the “Project 3 Report”) was later filed with respect to Project 3. Project 1 hosts an estimated 2.801 million measured four element or “4E” ounces of platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold (14.067 million tonnes @ 6.19 grams/tonne (“g/t”)), 5.361 million indicated 4E ounces (30.392 million tonnes @ 5.49 g/t) and 0.047 million inferred 4E ounces (0.176 million tonnes @ 8.33 g/t). Project 3 hosts an estimated 1.939 million indicated 4E ounces (11.104 million tonnes @ 5.43 g/t) and 0.076 million inferred 4E ounces (0.443 million tonnes @ 1.47 g/t). Of the mineral resources stated above for Project 1, there are 1.756 million 4E ounces (11.764 million tonnes @ 4.64) categorized as proven mineral reserves and 2.91 million 4E ounces (19.782 million tonnes @ 4.57 g/t) categorized as probable mineral reserves. Mineral reserves and mineral resources reported above are from combined Merensky and UG2 reef tonnes. The Company will hold a 77.55% interest in the 4E ounces attributable to Project 1 and Project 3 through its percentage shareholding in Maseve. This interest could increase by a further 1.43% to 78.98% pending the payment of the Company’s 74% share of the cash call and the outcome of the arbitration process now underway with Africa Wide as described above. In the event of the planned sale of Africa Wide’s diluted interest in Maseve into an alternative, qualified BEE Company, also as described above, the Company’s interest in Maseve would then be reduced accordingly by the percentage points of interest sold. Additional information regarding grades, prill splits, sampling, reserve and resource calculations and risk factors can be found in the technical reports described above as filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Mineral reserves are a sub-set of measured and indicated mineral resources included in the UFS and take into account mining factors and are not in addition to the mineral resources.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors with respect to the information above: The Company uses the terms “measured resources,” “indicated resources,” and “inferred resources,” which are recognized and required by Canadian regulations but not recognized by the SEC. “Resources” are not “reserves” and so do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Furthermore, under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that measured and indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves or that part or all of an inferred resource exists or is economically or legally minable. In the following tables, the Company also presents proven and probable reserves calculated under NI 43-101, which differs from the standards of SEC Industry Guide 7. In addition, while disclosure of contained ounces in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian securities laws, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measurements. Accordingly, the disclosure below may differ materially from the reserve estimates and other disclosures that would be provided by a U.S. public company.

Projects 1 and 3 - History of Acquisition

On October 26, 2004, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement forming the WBJV among the Company (37% interest held through PTM RSA), Anglo American Platinum Limited (“Anglo”) (37% interest held through its subsidiary RPM), and Africa Wide (26% interest held directly) in relation to a platinum exploration and development project on combined mineral rights covering approximately 67km2 on the Western Bushveld Complex of South Africa. The WBJV property was divided into three distinct project areas, namely Projects 1, 2 and 3. In April 2007, Anglo contributed an additional 5km2 area of prospecting rights into the WBJV. Africa Wide was subsequently acquired by Wesizwe, a Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed company, in September 2007.

On December 8, 2008, the Company entered into certain agreements to consolidate and rationalize the ownership of the WBJV (the “Consolidation Transaction”). On April 22, 2010, the Consolidation Transaction was completed and the WBJV was dissolved. As a result Wesizwe retained 100% of Project 2 and Maseve obtained 100% of Projects 1 and 3. The combined area covered by the mineral rights for Projects 1 and 3 held through Maseve comprises approximately 47km2 of the original 72km2.

The Company also received a 37% interest in Maseve in exchange for its share of Projects 1 and 3. Wesizwe received a 45.25% initial interest in Maseve in exchange for the mineral rights it transferred to Maseve. In exchange for rescinding its 18.5% of Project 2 to Wesizwe, the Company received an additional 17.75% interest in Maseve, bringing its holdings in Maseve to 54.75% .

Through the Consolidation Transaction the Company acquired the Maseve Subscription Right entitling it to subscribe for a further 19.25% interest in Maseve, from treasury, in exchange for a subscription amount of R408.81 million. On January 14, 2011, the Company exercised the Maseve Subscription Right in the amount of R408.81 million (approximately $59 million at the time), thereby increasing its effective shareholding in Maseve to 74%. The subscription funds were placed in escrow for application towards Africa Wide’s 26% share of expenditures for Projects 1 and 3 (the “Escrowed Maseve Funds”). During the current period the Escrowed Maseve Funds were exhausted against Africa Wide’s share of Project 1 expenditures by early November 2013.

As a result of their decision on October 18, 2013 to not fund their approximately US$21.8 million share of an approved cash call as described above, and determined in accordance with the dilution provisions of the Maseve Shareholders Agreement, the Company estimates that Africa Wide will dilute from 26% to approximately a 21.02% interest in Maseve and therefore Project 1 and Project 3, and as a result the Company will see an increase in its share of Maseve to approximately a 78.98% . As discussed above the Company plans to sell diluted percentage interests in Maseve to an alternative, qualified BEE company to comply with the empowerment aspects of the MPRDA. See further details at “Project 1 and Project 3 - Africa Wide Dilution” above.

Under the terms of the Consolidation Transaction agreements, RPM held a 60-day right of first refusal on the sale of ore or concentrate produced from Project 1, Project 2 and Project 3. On September 5, 2012, Maseve received notice from RPM that RPM would exercise its right of first refusal to enter into an agreement with Maseve on terms equivalent to terms agreed to by Maseve with another commercial off-taker for the planned sale of concentrate produced from Project 1. A formal off-take agreement between RPM and Maseve was executed in April 2013.

Waterberg JV Project, South Africa

PTM RSA applied for a prospecting right for the Waterberg JV Project area in 2009 and in September 2009 the DMR granted PTM RSA a prospecting right for the requested area. Later in October 2009, PTM RSA entered into an agreement (the “JOGMEC Agreement”) with JOGMEC and Mnombo whereby JOGMEC could earn up to a 37% participating interest in the Waterberg JV Project for an optional work commitment of US$3.2 million over four years, while at the same time Mnombo could earn a 26% participating interest in exchange for matching JOGMEC’s expenditures on a 26/74 basis (US$1.12 million). See further details at “Waterberg JV Project - History of Acquisition” below.

Waterberg JV Project - Activities in the period ended November 30, 2013

Drilling on the Waterberg JV Project area has resulted in the inferred mineral resources discussed below. After mid-September drilling had stopped on the property and engineering work had commenced.

In April 2012, JOGMEC completed its US$3.2 million earn in requirement to earn a 37% interest in the Waterberg JV Project. Following JOGMEC’s earn-in the Company funded Mnombo’s 26% share of costs for US$1.12 million and the earn-in phase of the joint venture ended in May, 2012. An approved post earn-in 2012 budget for the joint venture was initially set by the joint venture partners at US$8.37 million. In February 2013 the joint venture partners increased the post earn-in budget to US$13.0 million. A further 2013 budget in the amount of US$7.0 million was later approved. To November 30, 2013 approximately $21.5 million has been spent on the joint venture. The Company has funded the Company’s and Mnombo’s combined 63% share of this work for a cost of US$12.2 million with the remaining US$7.17 million funded by JOGMEC. At November 30, 2013 an amount of US$0.5 million was due to JOGMEC for its 37% share of approved joint venture work. The Company has approved its own budget for calendar 2013 to fund its 63% share (including Mnombo’s 26% share) of 2013 work expenditures for the joint venture.

Waterberg JV Project - Mineral Resources

On September 5, 2012 the Company announced an initial mineral resource for the Waterberg JV Project property. The details are contained in the technical report entitled “Updated Exploration Results and Mineral Resource Estimate for the Waterberg Platinum Project, South Africa” located on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex, with an effective date of November 5, 2012 (the “Waterberg Report”), prepared by Kenneth Lomberg, B.Sc. (Hons) Geology, B. Com., M. Eng. Pr.Sci.Nat., MGSSA, of Coffey Mining (SA) Pty Ltd. (“Coffey”). In the report the independent Qualified Person recommends a forward 2013 budget in the amount of $10.0 million, which the Company is undertaking with the joint venture partners as described above.

On February 1, 2013 the Company announced an updated inferred mineral resource estimate on the Waterberg JV Project property. On March 18, 2013 the Company filed the associated National Instrument 43-101 technical report. The report, entitled “Revised and Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Waterberg Platinum Project, South Africa (Latitude 23° 22′ 01”S, Longitude 28° 49′ 42”E)” is dated effective February 1, 2013 and was prepared by Kenneth Lomberg, B.Sc. (Hons) Geology, B. Com., M. Eng. Pr.Sci.Nat., MGSSA, of Coffey, supporting the disclosure of the updated inferred mineral resource estimate.

On September 3, 2013 the Company announced a further updated inferred mineral resource estimate on the Waterberg JV Project property. This latest estimate is based on exploration and drilling results to the end of July, 2013. The updated inferred mineral resource estimates 167 million tonnes grading 3.26 grams per tonne of platinum, palladium and gold (“2PGE+Au”) for a total of 17.523 million ounces. Significant copper and nickel credits are also present. On October 17, 2013 the Company filed the associated National Instrument 43-101 technical report. The report, entitled “Revised and Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Waterberg Platinum Project, South Africa (Latitude 23° 22′ 01”S, Longitude 28° 49′ 42”E)” is dated effective September 2, 2013 and was prepared by Kenneth Lomberg, B.Sc. (Hons) Geology, B. Com., M. Eng. Pr.Sci.Nat., MGSSA, of Coffey Mining (SA) Pty Ltd. The report supports the disclosure of the updated inferred mineral resource estimate. (See the resource details and metal splits in the table below).

The shallowest edge of the known deposit on the Waterberg JV Project property is on the T2 layer at approximately 130 metres below surface. All resources estimates for the Waterberg JV Project property have been restricted to 1,000 meters vertical as a preliminary economic cut-off. All layers remain open to depth beyond the resource model. The deposit is 5.5 kilometers long on the Waterberg JV Project property and is limited to the north by the property boundary. The deposit remains open along strike to the north beyond the Waterberg JV Project boundary extending on to prospecting rights where Platinum Group holds an 87% effective interest with the balance held by a private BEE partner. See “Waterberg Extension Project” below.

Mechanized mining methods, milling and infrastructure requirements for the Waterberg JV Project platinum deposit are all being studied as part of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) being conducted by South African engineering firm Worley Parsons TWP. As announced in May 2013, estimated recoveries for platinum, palladium and gold (2PGE+Au) in scoping flotation tests completed at SGS Labs in South Africa averaged 88% for the T2 layer and 83% for the F layer. The resource announced September 3, 2013 and the baseline metallurgical work will form the basis of the PEA due to be completed at the beginning of 2014.

Resource Details

The latest resource was calculated using 111 bore holes with a total of 301 pierce points including deflections. The drill intersection data was supplied to Coffey, independent consultants. The resource model was created by Coffey and a number of iterations were done to confirm the validity. Grade estimation was completed using IDW2 methodology and studied at various cut-off grades. The previous split of the FH and FP layers were merged into one F zone. The average thickness was calculated for the T zones that have distinct rock layer characteristics. The F zone is located consistently near the floor of the Bushveld Complex and is associated with an olivine rich rock layer and the average thickness of 3.0 metres to 30 metres was defined by a grade cut-off. An area of F layer related to an interpreted depression in the floor rocks where thickness of the mineralization is greater than 12 meters has been given the name “Super F”. This zone will be considered separately for larger scale underground mining methods in the ongoing PEA.

Inferred 2PGE+Au Resource Estimate, August 29, 2013

The three main mineralized layers for which an inferred mineral resource estimate is declared are presented below (as at September 2, 2013):

Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected be environmental, permitting, legal, marketing or other relevant issues. The quantity and grade of reported inferred mineral resources in this estimate are conceptual in nature. There is no guarantee that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted to a mineral reserve.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors with respect to the information in the tables above and discussion: In the preceding tables, the Company presents “inferred resources,” which are recognized and required by Canadian regulations but not recognized by the SEC. “Resources” are not “reserves” and so do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Furthermore, under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists or is economically or legally minable. In addition, while disclosure of contained ounces in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian securities laws, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without references to unit measurements. Accordingly, the disclosure below may differ materially from the disclosure that would be provided by a U.S. public company.

In order to be considered as a mineral resource estimate, it is necessary to consider “the reasonable prospects for economic extraction” of the mineral resource under consideration. For the Waterberg JV Project property, a high level economic analysis was conducted which confirmed that the estimated mineral resource at the Waterberg JV Project met this requirement.

Waterberg JV Project - History of Acquisition

Under the terms of the JOGMEC Agreement any mineral products derived by the joint venture from the property are to be taken by each participant in proportion to its then participating interest in the joint venture. Provided JOGMEC or its nominee holds at least a 30% interest in the Waterberg JV Project, JOGMEC or its nominee has the exclusive right to direct the marketing of the mineral products of the other participants for a 10-year period from first commercial production on an equivalent to commercially competitive arm’s length basis and has the first right of refusal to purchase at prevailing market prices any mineral products taken by another participant as its share of joint venture output.

On November 7, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement whereby the Company acquired 49.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Mnombo from its shareholders in exchange for cash payments totaling R1.2 million and agreeing to pay for Mnombo’s 26% share of project costs to feasibility (bringing the Company’s share of project costs to 63%). When combined with the Company’s 37% direct interest in the Waterberg JV Project (taking into consideration the JOGMEC earn-in), the 12.974% indirect interest held by the Company through Mnombo brings the Company’s effective interest in the Waterberg JV Project to 49.974% . Mnombo remains over 50% held for the benefit of historically disadvantaged persons or historically disadvantaged South Africans (“HDSAs”), as defined respectively by the MPRDA and the Amendment of the Broad-Based Socio-Economic Empowerment Charter for the South African Mining and Minerals Industry, 2010 ("Mining Charter") and is a qualified BEE corporation under the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, 2003 (the “BEE Act”).

During 2012 the Company made application to the DMR to acquire three additional prospecting rights adjacent to the west (one farm for 39km2), north (one farm for 63km2) and east (one farm for 16km2) of the existing Waterberg JV Project area. The farm to the east was granted in January 2013. The farms to the west and north were granted October of 2013. These three new prospecting rights cover a total area of 118km2, bringing the total combined area in the joint venture with JOGMEC and Mnombo to 255km2.

The Company has been advised by JOGMEC that a formal auction process has begun for the sale of JOGMEC’s 37% interest in the Waterberg JV Project to a successful bidder from a group of qualified Japanese trading firms. This is in keeping with JOGMEC’s mandate as determined by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Subsequent to the discovery on the Waterberg JV Project a qualified Japanese firm nominated JOGMEC’s interest in the Waterberg JV Project for sale. In accordance with its mandate, the nomination requires that JOGMEC initiate a formal auction and sale process. As a result, the Company anticipates a new Japanese firm will become a 37% joint venture partner in early 2014. The Company expects this new partner will participate in the Waterberg JV Project technical committee and in the formulation of the 2014 work program for the Waterberg JV Project.

Waterberg Extension Project

During early 2012 the Company applied to the DMR for further prospecting rights adjacent to the north and east of the existing and applied for joint venture area. This area of new prospecting rights known as the Waterberg Extension Project is not included in the pre-existing Waterberg JV Project property. The Company holds a direct 74% interest and Mnombo holds a 26% interest in this new Waterberg Extension Project area, leaving the Company with an 86.974% effective interest. During February and March of 2013 the Company received letters from the DMR advising the Company that prospecting right applications comprising the Waterberg Extension Project had been accepted. During October of 2013 prospecting permits covering 489km2 of the applied for Waterberg Extension Project area had been granted. At the time of writing this MD&A a further 471km2 of prospecting permit applications are in process with the DMR for addition to the Waterberg Extension Project, none of which are directly on the trend of the primary exploration target.

In late March and early April 2013 the Company conducted a Fugro differential gravity and magnetic airborne survey in the Waterberg region. Approximately 2,500 line kms were flown at 100 metre and 200 metre spacing over and along strike from the known deposit area. Interpretation of the airborne gravity and magnetic surveys by the Company provide a clear target for drilling northward over approximately a further 20 to 25 kilometers. Physical prospecting activities on these new license areas commenced in October, 2013. Ground gravity and magnetic lines were completed and these support the interpretation of airborne data as described above. Multiple boreholes along strike had been drilled to November 30, 2013 with several drill holes intercepting F zone mineralization on the extension area. Subsequent to the end of the period, the Company reported on the drilling completed to date on the Waterberg Extension Project. See the Company’s news releases dated December 9, 2013. A summary of the reported results follows.

Hole WE 08 at the Waterberg Extension Project returned preliminary assay values of 5.26 grams/tonne “3E” platinum, palladium and gold (1.40g/t Pt, 3.59 g/t Pd and 0.27 g/t Au) over 53.22 metres (from 555.50 metres to 608.72 metres, estimated true thickness of approximately 44 metres). Hole WE 08 is located approximately 340 metres northward along strike from previously announced hole WE 02 (15.63 metres grading 3.16 g/t 3E, 1.11 Pt g/t, 1.92 g/t Pd, 0.13 g/t Au) and approximately 1,600 metres directly along strike from the Waterberg JV Project deposit. The mineralization in WE 08 has geological units and layering that is consistent with the deposit to the south. The intercept in WE 08 is open for expansion along strike and up and down dip.

A total of 8 holes have been completed in the first 4.7 kilometers of the F zone type target on the Waterberg Extension Project and 5 of these have successfully intersected the F zone style of mineralization. Holes WE 01, 02, 06, 07 and 08 have all successfully confirmed the presence of F zone type layers at their borehole locations. Holes WE 01 and 02 have been reported previously. Hole WE 07 is located 4.7 kilometers from the Waterberg JV Project deposit and returned assays from F zone mineralization and layers of 2.72 metres grading 2.58g/t 3E (0.78 g/t Pt, 1.67 g/t Pd, 0.14 g/t Au, from740.59 metres to 743.31 metres). This result is within the variance range of the deposit model and establishing the F zone mineralization this far north is a significant project milestone. Interestingly, the intercept in WE 07 is located within a 51 metre envelope of lower grade platinum, palladium and gold mineralization (0.95g/t 3E, Pt 0.26 g/t, Pd 0.63 g/t Au 0.05 g/t, 740.59 metres to 791.5 metres). Further drilling to determine an average grade in this area is an immediate continued exploration target.

Hole WE 06 was drilled on the eastern edge of the F zone and returned values of 2.44 metres grading 1.88 g/t 3E (0.57 g/t Pt, 1.22 g/t Pd, 0.09 g/t Au, from 457.80 metres to 460.24 metres) within a 13.45 metre envelope grading 0.84 g/t 3E (0.24 g/t Pt, 0.55 g/t Pd, 0.05 g/t Au, 457.80 metres to 471.25 metres). Holes WE 03 and 04 were terminated due to faulting and did not successfully test for the F type target. Further drilling is planned to test this area. Hole WE 05 was drilled to test the eastern extent of the Bushveld Complex and was drilled directly into basement lithology.

Drilling is planned to continue in January 2014 with 6 machines in the northern block of the Waterberg Extension Project permits from approximately 16 kilometres to 30 kilometres north of the Waterberg JV Project deposit. Hole WE 09, a 17 kilometre step out from the Waterberg JV Project, on the Waterberg Extension Project permits, intersected the Bushveld Complex and disseminated sulphides interpreted to be the transition zone at the base of the Complex. Based on the layering pattern identified in the Waterberg region, the F zone target is interpreted to be to the west and further drilling is planned to commence in January 2014 to test this area.

NON-MATERIAL MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS

Other non-material mineral property interests of the Company include the War Springs and Tweespalk projects located in South Africa, the Sable Joint Venture (as defined below) and the Company’s various mineral property interests in Ontario, Canada and Northwest Territories, Canada. These non-material property interests are not, individually or collectively, material to the Company and are described below.

South Africa – Other Properties

Expenditures during the period ended November 30, 2013 on projects in South Africa other than Project 1, Project 3 and the Waterberg Projects totaled $0.03 million (November 30, 2012 - $0.02 million).

War Springs and Tweespalk Properties, South Africa

Since 2005, the Company has been actively exploring its War Springs and Tweespalk projects, which are located on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa. The War Springs property covers 22km2 and is located 24km south of the Anglo open pit Mogalakwena Mine (formerly the “PPRust platinum mine”) along the same “Platreef” section of the Bushveld Complex. Exploration has consisted of diamond drilling, geophysical surveys and ground prospecting. In March 2008, the Company reported an inferred resource on a 100% basis of 1.676 million ounces 2PGE+Au at a grade of 1.11 g/t with a minor credit for copper and nickel. See “Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors”. Additional information regarding grade, prill splits, sampling and resource calculations can be found in an NI 43-101 technical report dated June 18, 2009 entitled “Revised Inferred Mineral Resource Declaration War Springs (Oorlogsfontein 45K2), Northern Limb Platinum Property, Limpopo Province, Republic of South Africa” filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

For the three months ended November 30, 2013

Subject to vendor payments due upon a decision to mine, the Company holds a 70% interest in the War Springs project and Africa Wide and Taung Platinum Exploration (Pty) Ltd. (“Taung Platinum”) each hold a 15% interest carried to feasibility study. Taung Platinum is an affiliated company of Moepi Platinum (Pty) Ltd., which is Platmin Ltd.’s BEE partner in South Africa.

In March 2009, the Company announced an option agreement with JOGMEC, pursuant to which JOGMEC may earn 35% (one half of the Company’s interest) of Platinum Group’s interest in the War Springs project by incurring US$10 million in expenses over five years. Since March 2009 a total of 17,222 metres of drilling in 20 boreholes have been completed on the War Springs project with JOGMEC funding. Total expenditures incurred by JOGMEC to August 31, 2011 on War Springs amounted to approximately $2.9 million. During the year ended August 31, 2012, the drilling program was completed and JOGMEC indicated that it does not plan to fund further work on this project. The Company is considering further work or possible joint ventures for the project at this time.

Sable Joint Venture, South Africa

During 2009, the Company acquired prospecting rights in South Africa on the Western Limb of the Bushveld Complex, west of Pretoria and then entered into a joint venture agreement (the “Sable Joint Venture”) with Sable Platinum Mining (Pty) Limited (“Sable Platinum”). Sable Platinum is earning a 51% interest in exchange for funding approximately R 42.0 million (approximately $6 million in 2009) in work on the project, while a private BEE 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.

Canadian Properties

Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs deferred during the period ended November 30, 2013 on projects in Canada totalled $0.02 million (November 30, 2012- $Nil).

Thunder Bay, Ontario

The Company maintains various mineral rights positions in the Lac des Iles and Thunder Bay North areas of the Thunder Bay Mining District, Ontario as a strategic holding against increasing prices for palladium and platinum. The core long term holding in the Lac des Iles area consisting of the 8 claim Shelby Lake and South Legris properties has been maintained. These 8 claims are subject to 2.0% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalties, which the Company may buy back. Land holdings by the Company within the Thunder Bay Mining District at the time of this MD&A total 276km2. In the Sudbury Mining District, the Company retains a majority interest in an additional 47km2 of mineral rights at the Agnew Lake property.

To date, five properties staked or acquired since 2011 have been drill tested for younger intrusive targets and a new type of platinum mineralization found in the district based on airborne geophysics survey results, geological ground work, geochemistry and compilation of historic data. A total of 4,274 metres have been drilled in 17 holes, of which 2,891 metres in nine holes have been drilled on 100% owned properties.

To date none of the drilling by the Company on the younger intrusive targets has intersected the new type of platinum mineralization found in the district. No mineral reserves or mineral resources have been established on any of the properties. The Company is now considering its potential programs for the remainder of fiscal 2014 in Thunder Bay in context of its other Canadian and global exploration opportunities.

Providence, Northwest Territories

In September 2011, the Company purchased the Providence Copper-Nickel-Cobalt-Platinum Group Metals (“Cu-Ni-Co-PGM”) property from Arctic Star Exploration Corp. (“Arctic Star”) for a payment of $50,000 and a 1.0% NSR royalty. During the prior year the core 11 (eleven) of the 13 original claims have been converted to lease and annual rent payments of $28,021 (due June 30 annually) were made. Total acquisition costs to date are $106,092.

For the three months ended November 30, 2013

During the period ending November 30, 2013, minimal exploration costs were incurred on the Company’s Northwest Territories exploration program. Expenditures from the preceding fiscal year included research and compilation, camp maintenance, fuel purchase and supply, a gravity survey, geology, diamond drilling and assays. The Company has an active land use permit to conduct exploration on the property and maintain a camp.

The 2 mineral claims and 11 mineral leases comprising the Providence property measure approximately 134km2 and are located approximately 70km west of the Diavik Diamond Mine, NWT. The property covers approximately 20km of a belt of mafic to ultramafic rocks that is host to the first discovery of magmatic Cu-Ni-Co-PGM massive sulphide mineralization in the Slave Craton. Drilling by the Company and historic drilling by Arctic Star has shown that the Cu-Ni-Co-PGM mineralization is hosted within, and at the base of the ultramafic flow/intrusive sill sequence. The dimensions of the massive sulphide mineralization defined to date ranges in thickness from 0.3 metres to 5.0 metres and have been intercepted in drilling over a 75 metres strike length and down for 300 metres. The mineralized horizon has been drill tested over a 450 metre strike length to the east where disseminated sulphides with anomalous PGM values occur. The mineralized horizons remain open to depth and the eastern hole shows there is possibility of further horizon development along the belt.

Since acquisition, the Company has completed a total of 3,150 metres of diamond drilling in 14 holes. Exploration programs in the year to date consisted of camp supply, and diamond drilling with assays. Work on the property commenced in mid-March, 2012. A step out drill program to further define the extents of known Cu-Ni-Co-PGM mineralized zone was completed by August 15, 2012.

Ni-Cu-Co-PGM grade values are consistent with near surface (maximum 115 metre vertical depth) massive sulphide intercepts by previous operators and the mineralization remains open at depth. Significant grades from disseminated sulphide mineralization intercepts were identified in the 2012 drilling program. No mineral reserves or mineral resources have been established on any of the properties. Currently the company is assessing exploration results to date in order to make a decision on further exploration work.

Newfoundland and Labrador

On August 9, 2013 the Company entered into an option agreement with Benton Resources Corp. on the 261km2 Mealy Lake Property, southwestern Labrador, in exchange for the Company making a one-time cash payment of $51,000 on signing and $2.4 million over four years in exploration expenditures to earn a 71% interest. To date compilation of available public data has taken place to facilitate the planning of an exploration program.

In addition to the Mealy Lake Project, the Company also staked the 45km2 Atikonak Property in southwestern Labrador for a total acquisition cost of $10,800. The Atikonak Property was staked based on favorable geology and positive results from the regional compilation of public data for the area.

The Mealy and Atikonak Properties cover a Paleoproterezoic aged layered mafic intrusive suite of rocks that have sulphide mineralization within adjacent properties. These properties are central to a recently developed area of Cu, Ni and PGM exploration.

3.           DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

A)           Results of Operations

Three Months Ended November 30, 2013

For the quarter ended November 30, 2013, the Company had a net income of $0.47 million (November 30, 2012 –$1.71 million loss.) General and administrative expenses totaled $1.40 million (November 30, 2012 - $0.78 million) with the increase due to an increase in overall expenditures and size of the Company. A foreign exchange gain of $0.88 million was recorded for the quarter (November 30, 2012 – loss $0.21 million), with the gain being due to the stronger Rand at quarter end when the Company’s cash balances held in Rand were translated into Canadian Dollars. Other comprehensive income for the quarter was $2.89 million (November 30, 2012 –$10.15 million loss) with the gain being mainly due to the translation of net assets carried in Rand in our South African subsidiaries to their Canadian Dollar value at period end. At August 31, 2013, the Rand was valued at approximately 9.72 Rand to the Canadian Dollar versus 9.61 at November 30, 2013.

Interest earned in the quarter totaled $0.98 million as compared to $0.59 million in the comparative quarter. The higher interest earned is due to higher cash holdings relative to the prior comparative period.

Quarterly Financial Information

The following tables set forth selected quarterly financial data for each of the last eight quarters.

Explanatory Notes:

(1)

The Company earns interest income from interest bearing accounts and deposits. The balance of funds held in Rand can also affect the amount of interest earned, as Rand balances earn significantly higher rates of interest than can be earned at present in Canadian Dollars. Interest income has declined relative to cash on hand.

(2)

Net (loss) income by quarter is often materially affected by the timing and recognition of large non-cash items. In the current quarter there was no share-based compensation as opposed to the comparative period in the prior year. Net (loss) income is also significantly impacted by the movement of the Rand against the Canadian Dollar as the Company continues to hold a significant portion of its cash in Rand, which must be translated to Canadian Dollars at the end of each reporting period.

(3)

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company uses the treasury stock method for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Diluted per share amounts reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common shares. In periods when a loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of shares under options and share purchase warrants would be anti-dilutive, and accordingly basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

At February 28, 2013, the Company’s assets increased compared to November 30, 2012 as an equity offering closed on January 4, 2013.

B)           Dividends

The Company has never declared nor paid dividends on its common shares. The Company has no present intention of paying dividends on its common shares, as it anticipates that all available funds will be invested to finance its business.

C)           Trend Information

Other than the financial obligations as set out in the table provided at item F) below, there are no demands or commitments that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, the Company’s liquidity either increasing or decreasing at present or in the foreseeable future. The Company will require additional capital in the future to meet both its contractual and non-contractual project related expenditures. It is unlikely that the Company will generate sufficient operating cash flow to meet all of these expenditures in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company will need to raise additional capital through debt financing, by issuance of securities, or by a sale or partnering of project interests in order to meet its ongoing cash requirements. In December 2013, the Company closed a $175 million equity financing for 148.5 million shares at a price of $1.18 per share. See discussions at item 3. A) “Results of Operations” above and at item F) “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

D)           Related Party Transactions

During the quarter ended November 30, 2013 an amount of $145 (November 30, 2012 - $26) was paid to independent directors for directors fees and services.

During the quarter ended November 30, 2013, the Company provided accounting, secretarial and reception services at market rates for day-to-day administration and accounting to Nextraction Energy Corp. (“NE”), a company with three directors in common (R. Michael Jones, Frank Hallam and Eric Carlson). Fees received have been credited by the Company against its own administrative costs. The Company accrued service fees of $15 (November 30, 2012 - $28) during the period from NE. Amounts receivable at the end of the period include an amount of $185 ($63 – November 30, 2012) due from NE.

During the quarter ended November 3, 2013, the Company provided accounting, secretarial and reception services at market rates for day-to-day administration and accounting to West Kirkland Mining (“WKM”), a company with two directors in common (R. Michael Jones, Frank Hallam). Fees received have been credited by the Company against its own administrative costs. The Company received service fees of $26 (November 30, 2012 - $26) during the period from WKM. Amounts receivable at the end of the period include an amount of $121 ($112 – November 30, 2012) due from WKM.

All of the above transactions are in the normal course of business and were completed and measured at estimated market rates.

E)           Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any special purpose entities nor is it party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

F)           Liquidity and Capital Resources

On January 4, 2013, the Company issued 225,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.80 per common share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $180 million. Net proceeds to the Company were $168.9 million, after underwriters’ fees and other expenses of the offering. At present the Company is using the balance of the proceeds from this offering to continue work at Project 1, the Waterberg Extension Project and at the Waterberg JV Project and for general working capital requirements.

On December 9 2013, the Company announced a bought deal financing for 148.5 million common shares of the Company at a price of $1.18 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $175.23 million. The offering closed December 31, 2013 with net proceeds to the Company after fees, commissions and costs of approximately $166 million.

As at January 6, 2014 the Company held approximately $237 million in total cash on hand, which is sufficient to fund the estimated general, exploration and development operations of the Company for calendar 2014. However the Company does not have adequate funds to complete construction of the mine at Project 1. The Company requires additional financing from external sources, such as the planned New Project Loan Facility, in order to meet the requirements of its business plan through 2014 and carry out the future development of its projects.

On December 6, 2012 the Company announced that a syndicate of lead arrangers had obtained credit committee approval for the US$260 million Original Proposed Loan Facility for the construction of the Project 1 platinum mine. Closing and draw down of the Original Proposed Loan Facility was subject to the negotiation and execution of final documentation and satisfaction of conditions precedent.

On October 18, 2013 the 26% partner in the Project 1 platinum mine, Africa Wide, a subsidiary of Wesizwe, informed the Company that it would not be funding its approximate US$21.8 million share of a budget and cash call unanimously approved by the board of directors of Project 1 operating company Maseve. Africa Wide was also to be a guarantor and obligor to the above mentioned project loan facility. As a result of Africa Wide’s decision, the Company anticipates that it will be required to fund 100% of the Maseve cash call.

On November 8, 2013 the Company entered into a new mandate letter with the New Arrangers for the US$195 million New Project Loan Facility. The new mandate letter is subject to the finalization of a facility agreement and, among other conditions, the New Lenders’ financial and continued technical due diligence of the Company and the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals for the sale of Africa Wide’s diluted interest in Maseve to a qualified BEE entity. The new mandate letter replaces the mandate letter and related documents prepared in connection with the Original Proposed Loan Facility. The new mandate letter requires the New Arrangers to use commercially reasonably efforts to arrange the New Project Loan Facility, and is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including the credit committee and other internal approvals of each of the New Arrangers, the finalization of a facility agreement and related documents, certain corporate restructuring transactions, the New Arrangers’ financial and continued technical due diligence of the Company, any other obligor and Project 1, and the sale of, and the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals for, Africa Wide’s diluted interest in Maseve to a qualified BEE entity. See further details at “Project 1 - New Project Loan Facility” above.

As a part of the New Project Loan Facility, the Company will be required to guarantee the obligations of Maseve. The Company will pledge to the New Arrangers its interests in the capital of Maseve and its interests in the Waterberg Projects. See “Risk Factors” in the Company’s AIF.

There is no certainty that the Company will be able to successfully re-structure a project loan facility. As of the date of this MD&A, no binding commitments have been signed by the New Arrangers with respect to the New Project Loan Facility. The New Arrangers are under no obligation to provide the New Project Loan Facility on the terms described in this MD&A, or at all.

The completion of the New Project Loan Facility on the terms described in this MD&A, or at all, is subject to a number of risks, including, without limitation, risks relating to the ability of the Company to sell Africa Wide’s diluted interest in Maseve to Mnombo or find an alternative, suitable BEE partner, regulatory requirements, litigation, changes in general market conditions, the condition of the Company or its properties, and economic, social or political conditions in South Africa. No assurances can be given that such facility will be consummated on any particular timeline or on the terms described herein, or at all. In addition, funding under the New Project Loan Facility, if consummated, is expected to be subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, that the Company restructure certain of its holdings, secure additional equity financing, if required, as determined at the time of the financial close of the New Project Loan Facility, acquire and maintain all requisite permits and licenses and establish an agreed metals hedging program. The Company may be unable to satisfy such conditions on favourable terms, or at all. In particular, if the New Project Loan Facility is consummated, any inability of the Company, Africa Wide or any other joint venture partner to fund its required equity contributions thereunder will prevent funding and utilization of such facility and may result in a default thereunder, or in the case of Africa Wide or any other joint venture partner being unable or unwilling to fund, the Company may be required to fund the shortfall to avoid a default under such facility.

The completion and utilization of the New Project Loan Facility, if successfully completed, combined with the Company’s cash on hand, will not fully fund the Company’s business plan, including the construction of Project 1. The Company will be required to source additional financing by way of private or public offerings of equity or debt, or the sale of project or property interests, in order to complete the construction of Project 1 and have sufficient working capital for continued exploration on the Waterberg Projects, as well as for general working capital purposes. Failure by the Company to complete the New Project Loan Facility or alternative financing for Project 1, or 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. In the event that adequate financing is not arranged and available to the Company in the short term, the Company will need to alter its business plan.

Accounts receivable at November 30, 2013 totaled $3.2 million (August 31, 2013 - $6.9 million) being comprised mainly of value added taxes refundable in South Africa, with expenditure advances being paid back in the quarter. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities at November 30, 2013 totaled $18.1 million (August 31, 2013 - $25.1 million).

Apart from net interest earned on cash deposits during the quarter ended November 30, 2013 of $0.98 million (November 30, 2012 - $0.59 million), the Company had no sources of income. The Company’s primary source of capital has been from the issuance of equity. At November 30, 2013 the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand of $79.9 million compared to $111.78 million at August 31, 2013 with the majority of cash expenditures in the quarter made on Project 1. Subsequent to period end the Company closed a bought deal financing for gross proceeds of $175 million. At November 30, 2013 the restricted cash balance had been exhausted, (August 31, 2013 - $10.16 million). To November 30, 2013 a total of $42 million (August 31, 2013 – $32 million) has been applied from restricted cash against Wesizwe’s 26% share of project expenditures.

The Company receives lump sum cash advances at various times as laid out in agreed budgets from its partners to cover the costs of joint venture projects.

The following table discloses the Company’s contractual obligations. The Company currently has no long term debt or loan obligations.

The Company’s project operating subsidiary Maseve has entered into a long term electricity supply agreement with ESKOM. Under the agreement the Company received connection and service for a 10MVA construction power supply in October 2013. A total 40 MVA production power supply is now planned for delivery in stages to 2017. Remaining connection fees and guarantees for the full service total R83.0 million ($8,641 at November 30, 2013).

The above contracts are subject to the following estimated break fees in the event of cancellation:

Concentrator plant and surface infrastructure $  15,110  
Mining development   10,005  
Mining equipment   1,013  
Other property expenditures   5,427  
  $  31,555  

Break fees are estimated by means of contractual notice periods, work in progress costs and normal costs associated with the unwinding and disestablishment of certain contractors.

On March 26, 2013 the Company waived an outstanding condition precedent to a water off-take agreement with the Magalies Water Board for the long term supply of water to the Project 1 mine site. The agreement is now in effect. Pursuant to a 50/50 sharing agreement with Wesizwe, the Company will be responsible for the cost of regional infrastructure to deliver water to the Project 1 mine site in an amount not to exceed R73.0 million (approximately $7.60 million at November 30, 2013). In order to source water for its own nearby project Wesizwe will be required to pay for its 50% share of the cost as described above. Wesizwe indicated to the Company on November 11, 2013 that they will comply with the sharing agreement.

Outstanding Share Data

The Company has an unlimited number of common shares authorized for issuance without par value. At November 30, 2013, there were 402,759,542 common shares outstanding, 14,816,500 incentive stock options outstanding at exercise prices of $0.96 to $2.57. At January 10, 2013, there were 551,271,542 common shares outstanding and 14,664,500 incentive stock options outstanding. During the period ending November 30, 2013, the Company made no changes to the exercise price of outstanding options through cancellation and re-grant or otherwise.

4.           OUTLOOK

At present Platinum Group is continuing with construction at Project 1. Prior to January 2014 the Company had withheld the execution of significant new contracts for Project 1 pending the completion of additional debt or equity financing. Africa Wide’s failure to fund its share of Project 1 costs on an ongoing basis resulted in the need for the Company to restructure its financial plan for the completion of Project 1. See “Project 1 - New Project Loan Facility” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above, as well as the disclosure made under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s AIF, for a further discussion.

On December 9, 2013, the Company announced a bought deal financing for 148.5 million common shares of the Company at a price of $1.18 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $175.23 million. The offering closed December 31, 2013 with net proceeds to the Company after fees, commissions and costs of approximately $166 million. The completion of this equity financing will allow the Company to recommence on many significant contracts and critical path items for Project 1.

The Company’s key business objectives for calendar 2014 will be to restructure and close the New Project Loan Facility or other financing for Project 1, continue with the underground development and mine construction at Project 1 and continue exploration on both the Waterberg JV Project and the Waterberg Extension Project.

Commencement of Phase 2 development at Project 1 began in January 2013 and will continue to utilize the Company’s cash on hand in measured stages until the proposed New Project Loan Facility or other financing is completed and in place. In the event that the New Project Loan Facility is not completed and available to the Company by mid-calendar 2014, the Company would likely need to alter its business plan. A first alternative business plan would be the sourcing and completion of alternative debt and/or equity financing in order to complete the existing Phase 2 development schedule, although there is no guarantee that such funding would be available to the Company. A second option would be to suspend Phase 2 development and to potentially sell ore from already established underground workings at Project 1. In this second scenario, a milling and concentrating facility would not be immediately built, and the construction of such facilities would be postponed until funding became available.

The Company plans to continue working on the Waterberg JV Project with its joint venture partner, JOGMEC, or the successful bidder in the auction-process for JOGMEC’s interest in the Waterberg JV Project, who will be providing 37% funding for that project, to conduct exploration. A preliminary economic assessment is being undertaken for the Waterberg JV project and is targeted for completion in early calendar 2014.

The Company plans to continue with exploration drilling in 2014 on the Waterberg Extension Project with multiple drilling rigs.

5.           CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as income and expenses. The Company’s accounting policies are described in note 2 of our audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2013.

Review of asset carrying values and impairment

In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, each asset or cash generating unit is evaluated every reporting period to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If any such indication exists, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed and an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating group of assets is measured at the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

The determination of fair value less costs to sell and value in use requires management to make estimates and assumptions about expected production, commodity prices, reserves, operating costs, closure and rehabilitation costs and future capital expenditures. The estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty; hence there is the possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the assets. In such circumstances some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be further impaired or the impairment charge reduced with the impact recorded in the income statement.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The amounts recorded for asset retirement costs are based on estimates included in closure and remediation plans. These estimates are based on engineering studies of the work that is required by environmental laws. These estimates include an assumption on the rate at which costs may inflate in future periods. Actual costs and the timing of expenditures could differ from these estimates.

Income and Resource Taxes

The determination of our future tax liabilities and assets involves significant management estimation and judgment involving a number of assumptions. In determining these amounts we interpret tax legislation in a variety of jurisdictions and make estimates of the expected timing of the reversal of future tax assets and liabilities. We also make estimates of our future earnings which affect the extent to which potential future tax benefits may be used. We are subject to assessment by various taxation authorities, which may interpret tax legislation in a manner different from our view. These differences may affect the final amount or the timing of the payment of taxes. When such differences arise we make provision for such items based on our best estimate of the final outcome of these matters.

Determination of ore reserve and mineral resource estimates

The Company estimates its ore reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by Competent Persons as defined by NI 43-101. Reserves determined in this way are used in the calculation of depreciation, amortization and impairment charges, and for forecasting the timing of the payment of close down and restoration costs. In assessing the life of a mine for accounting purposes, mineral resources are only taken into account where there is a high degree of confidence of economic extraction. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating ore reserves, and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available. Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may change the economic status of reserves and may, ultimately, result in reserves being restated. Such changes in reserves could impact on depreciation and amortization rates, asset carrying values and provisions for close down and restoration costs.

6.           DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in filings made pursuant to both SEC and Canadian Securities Administrators requirements are recorded, processed, summarized and reported in the manner specified by the relevant securities laws applicable to the Company. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the applicable securities legislation is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the issuer’s internal control over financial reporting.
