NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

You are receiving this notification as Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (the “Company”) has decided to use the notice and access model (“Notice and Access”) provided for under recent amendments to National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer for the delivery of meeting materials to its shareholders for its annual general meeting of shareholders to be held on Friday, February 26, 2016 (the “Meeting”). Under Notice and Access, instead of receiving printed copies of the Company’s management information circular (“Information Circular”), financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 and management’s discussion and analysis (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”), shareholders are receiving this notice with information on how they may access such Meeting Materials electronically. However, together with this notice, shareholders continue to receive a proxy (in the case of registered shareholders) or a voting instruction form (in the case of non-registered shareholders), enabling them to vote at the Meeting. The Company has adopted this alternative means of delivery in order to further its commitment to environmental sustainability and to reduce its printing and mailing costs. This notice serves as a notice of meeting under section 169 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

Meeting Date, Location and Purposes

The Meeting will be held on Friday, February 26, 2016 (“Meeting Date”) at 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) at 550Burrard Street, Bentall 5 Boardroom, Lobby Level, Vancouver, British Columbia, for the following purposes:

1.

to receive the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 (with comparative statements relating to the preceding fiscal year) together with the report of the auditors thereon;

   
2.

to elect the directors;

   
3.

to appoint the auditors and to authorize the directors to fix their remuneration;

   
4.

to re-approve the Company’s stock option plan and all unallocated options thereunder, as required every three years by the TSX, as more particularly described in the accompanying Information Circular;

   
5.

to approve the continuation of the Company’s shareholder rights plan, as more particularly described in the accompanying Information Circular; and

   
6.

to transact such further or other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof.

For detailed information with respect to each of the above matters, please refer to the item bearing the corresponding title in the Information Circular.

The Company urges shareholders to review the Information Circular before voting.
