Notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements

May 31, 2008

1.           NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company is a British Columbia corporation incorporated on February 18, 2002 by an order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving an amalgamation between Platinum Group Metals Ltd. and New Millennium Metals Corporation (“New Millennium”). The Company is an exploration company conducting work on mineral properties it has staked or acquired by way of option agreements in Ontario, Canada and the Republic of South Africa.

2.           SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) and include the significant policies outlined below.

(a)           Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The financial statements of entities which are controlled by the Company through voting equity interest, referred to as subsidiaries, are consolidated. Variable interest entities (“VIEs”), which include, but are not limited to, special purpose entities, trusts, partnerships and other legal structures, as defined by the Accounting Standards Board in Accounting Guideline 15, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, are entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a “controlling financial interest” or there is not sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. VIEs are subject to consolidation by the primary beneficiary who will absorb the majority of the entities’ expected losses and/or residual returns.

These interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Platinum Group Metals (RSA) (Pty) Ltd. (“PTM RSA”). PTM RSA holds mineral rights and conducts operations in the Republic of South Africa. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company’s 37% working interest in the Western Bushveld Joint Venture (Note 5) is accounted for using the equity method.

(b)           Mineral properties and deferred exploration costs

Mineral properties consist of exploration and mining concessions, options and contracts. Acquisition and leasehold costs and exploration costs are capitalized until such time as the property is put into production or disposed of either through sale or abandonment. If put into production, the costs of acquisition and exploration will be amortized over the life of the property based on the estimated economic reserves. Proceeds received from the sale of any interest in a property will first be credited against the carrying value of the property, with any excess included in operations for the period. If a property is abandoned, the property and deferred exploration costs are written off to operations.

Management of the Company reviews and evaluates the carrying value of each mineral property for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the related asset may not be recoverable. Where estimates of future net cash flows are available and the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and assets are written down to fair value which is normally determined using the discounted value of future cash flows. Where estimates of future net cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, management assesses whether the carrying value can be recovered by considering alternative methods of determining fair value. When it is determined that a mineral property is impaired it is written down to its estimated fair value.

(c)           Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term money market instruments, which are readily convertible to cash and have original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company holds no non-bank asset-backed commercial paper.

(d)           Reclamation and closure costs

The Company recognizes the estimated fair value of liabilities for asset retirement obligations including reclamation and closure costs in the period in which they are incurred. A corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related asset is recorded and amortized over the life of the asset. The amount of the liability is subject to re-measurement at each reporting period and is accreted over time to the estimated asset retirement obligation ultimately payable through charges to operations.

The estimates are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. It is possible that the Company’s estimates of its ultimate reclamation and closure liabilities could change as a result of changes in regulations, the extent of environmental remediation required, changes in technology and the means and cost of reclamation. Based on management’s estimates, the Company has determined that there are no reclamation liabilities as at period end.

(e)           Income taxes

Future income taxes relate to the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax values. Future tax assets, if any, are recognized only to the extent that, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the future income tax assets will be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment or substantive enactment.

(f)           Short-term investments

Short-term investments comprise guaranteed investment certificates with original maturities of more than 90 days and less than one year.

 (g)           Fixed assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost and are amortized at the following annual rates:

Computer equipment and software 30% declining balance

Office furniture and equipment  20% declining balance

Leasehold improvements                                        2 years straight line

(h)           Earnings (loss) per common share

Basic earnings (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 earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares arising upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, but are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

(i)           Measurement uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenditures during the reporting period. Significant items where management’s judgement is applied include the assessment of impairment of long-lived assets, amortization, income tax provisions, contingent liabilities, stock-based compensation and asset retirement obligations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(j) Translation of foreign currencies

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. For integrated foreign operations, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at period end exchange rates and other assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues, expenses and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates. Gains and losses on translation of monetary assets and monetary liabilities are charged to operations.

The accounts of self-sustaining foreign operations are translated at period end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Differences arising from these foreign currency translations are recorded in shareholders’ equity as a cumulative translation adjustment until they are realized by a reduction in the investment.

(k)           Stock-based compensation

The Company follows the recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Section 3870, Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments. Accordingly, the fair value of all stock-based awards granted are estimated using the Black-Scholes model and are recorded in operations over their vesting periods. The compensation cost related to stock options granted is recorded in operations.

Cash received on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital and the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus is also transferred to share capital.

(l)   Changes in accounting policies

Effective September 1, 2007, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Sections 3855 Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement; Section 3861 Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation; Section 3865 Hedges; Section 1530 Comprehensive Income and Section 3251 Equity. As the Company has not previously undertaken hedging activities, adoption of Section 3865 currently has no impact. Prior to January 1, 2007, the principal accounting policies affecting financial instruments related to marketable securities that were valued at the lower of original cost and fair market value.

CICA Section 3855 requires that all financial assets, except those classified as held to maturity, and loans and receivables, must be measured at fair value. All financial liabilities must be measured at fair value when they are classified as held-for trading, otherwise, they are measured at amortized cost. Investments classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value  based on quoted market bid prices with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income or loss. Those instruments classified as held-for-trading, have gains or losses included in earnings in the period in which they arise.  All of the Company’s marketable securities have been designated as available-for-sale.

Comprehensive income is the change in our net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sources other than our shareholders and includes items that would not normally be included in net earnings such as unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments. Other comprehensive income includes the gains and losses from available-for-sale securities which are not included in net income (loss) until realized.

The adoption of Sections 1530 and 3855 impacts the Company’s opening equity. The after-tax unrealized gain on the available-for-sale securities as at September 1, 2007 was $1,874,001, which was reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated other comprehensive income.

(m)           Financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, marketable securities, amounts receivable, due from WBJV partners, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances from WBJV partners.   Unless otherwise stated it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.  The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances from WBJV partners approximate their carrying value due to their short-term maturity or their capacity of prompt liquidation.  Marketable securities are recorded in the financial statements at fair value.

3.           AMOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Expenditure advances receivable consist of funds advanced to officers, directors and consulting geologists for exploration and corporate activities conducted in the normal course of business and bear no interest.

4.           MARKETABLE SECURITIES

At May 31, 2008, the Company has the following marketable securities:

Available-for-sale securities	Number of Shares	Cost ($)	Accumulated Unrealized Gains ($)	Fair Value ($)
MAG Silver Corp.	100,000	50,000	1,104,000	1,154,000
West Timmins Mining Inc.	800,001	160,000	400,001	560,001
Total Marketable Securities		210,000	1,504,001	1,714,001

On September 1, 2007 the Company recorded an adjustment of $1,874,001 to the opening balance of accumulated other comprehensive income pursuant to adoption of the new CICA Handbook Section 3855 Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement.  The amount represents the unrealized gain on available-for-sale marketable securities held by the Company at September 1, 2007.

During the nine month period ended May 31, 2008 the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $370,000 (2006 - $nil) on marketable securities designated as available-for-sale instruments in other comprehensive income.

(a)           MAG Silver Corp.

In 2003 the Company earned a finders’ fee of 200,000 shares of MAG Silver Corp. (“MAG”), a company with two directors and one officer in common with the Company, with an assigned value of $0.50 per share for introducing MAG to certain individuals and mineral properties located in Mexico. During 2003 the Company sold 100,000 of these shares for proceeds of $67,630.

(b)           West Timmins Mining Inc.

In 2002 New Millennium granted Sydney Resource Corporation (“SYR”), a company with three directors in common with the Company, an option to earn a 50% interest in New Millennium’s 100% owned Simlock Creek gold project, located in the Cariboo Mining District of British Columbia. On December 2, 2003 the Company and SYR agreed to terminate the Option and the Company then sold the property to SYR outright in exchange for 1,200,000 shares of SYR at a value of $0.20 per share.  SYR was reorganized and named West Timmins Mining Inc. on September 14, 2006.  At May 31, 2008 the Company held 800,001 West Timmins Mining Inc. shares.

5.INVESTMENT IN WESTERN BUSHVELD JOINT VENTURE (THE “WBJV”)

	May 31, 2008	Aug. 31, 2007
Opening Balance	$14,779,302	$10,861,834
Additional investment	6,252,476	3,917,468
Balance before translation	21,031,778	14,779,302
Translation adjustment	(3,985,320)	(2,365,876)
Ending Balance	$17,046,458	$12,413,426

Details of the assets of the WBJV excluding the property rights contributed by the other venture partners are as follows:

On October 26, 2004 the Company entered into the Western Bushveld Joint Venture (the “WBJV”) with a subsidiary of Anglo Platinum Limited (“Anglo Platinum”) and Africa Wide Mineral Prospecting and Exploration (Pty) Limited (“Africa Wide”) to pursue platinum exploration and development on combined mineral rights covering approximately 67 square kilometres on the Western Bushveld Complex of South Africa. The transaction closed effective January 26, 2005. The Company contributed all of its interests in portions of the farms Onderstepoort 98JQ and Elandsfontein 102JQ. Anglo Platinum contributed its interests in portions of the farms Koedoesfontein 94JQ, Elandsfontein 102JQ and Frischgewaagd 96JQ. Later, in 2007, Anglo Platinum contributed its 50% interest in Portion 11 of the farm Frischgewaagd bringing the total area of the WBJV to approximately 72 square kilometres. The Company and Anglo Platinum each hold a 37% working interest in the WBJV, while Africa Wide holds a 26% working interest.

In April 2007 the shareholders of Africa Wide sold 100% of their company to Wesizwe Platinum Ltd. The transaction closed in September 2007 and since then Wesizwe has become responsible for all of the rights and obligations of Africa Wide.

The Company is the operator of the WBJV. From October 2004 to April 2006 the Company funded a required exploration program in the amount of Rand 35 million (at August 31, 2005 approx. C$6.44 million). Since then the partners of the WBJV have been required to fund further expenditures pro-rata based upon their working interest in the Joint Venture. From April 2006 to March 2007 the partners to the WBJV approved budgets in the amount of Rand 76,393,208 (approximately C$11.7 million at September 2006). In July 2007 the WBJV participants approved a new cash budget for the WBJV totaling Rand 102,976,176 (approximately C$15.5 million in July 2007). During April 2008 the WBJV participants approved a budget for the acquisition of long lead capital items in the amount of R21.086 million (approximately C$2.74 million). At May 31, 2008 Anglo Platinum had a contribution balance owing to the WBJV of Rand 7,591,847 (C$990,736). At May 31, 2008 Africa Wide had a contribution balance owing to the WBJV of Rand 5,327,783 (C$695,276). These balances were received subsequent to period end.

Once a bankable feasibility study has been completed, the respective deemed capital contribution of each party will be credited by adding their contribution of measured, indicated, and inferred PGE ounces from the original contributed properties comprising the WBJV, determined in accordance with the South African Mineral Resource Committee (“SAMREC”) code. Inferred ounces will be credited at US$0.50 per ounce, indicated ounces will be credited at US$3.20 per ounce and measured ounces will be credited at US$6.20 per ounce. Ounces contributed to the WBJV by Anglo Platinum in 2007 from a 50% interest in Portion 11 of the Farm Frischgewaagd 96 JQ will receive an equalization credit of US$0.62 per inferred ounce, US$10.37 per indicated ounce and US$39.55 per measured four element or “4E” ounce of combined platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold.  Each party will then have the opportunity to make a one-time equalizing payment or contribute additional capital in order to catch up any resulting shortfall in their contributed capital and thereby maintain their respective working interest in the JV. Should a party not wish to participate, the JV agreement provides a mechanism whereby the parties may elect to become “non-contributory” to the JV and by doing so they would be subject to dilution.

The Company has concluded that it has significant influence over the operations of the WBJV but not joint control and is therefore recording the investment using the equity method.

The initial exchange of the Company’s pre-existing interests in the Elandsfontein and Onderstepoort properties for the interest in WBJV was recorded at cost as it represents a non-monetary exchange. The balance paid to date under the Company’s commitment to spend up to Rand 35 million in exploration costs has also been recorded as a cost of the investment.

Effective May 31, 2006 the Company concluded that the functional currency of WBJV was the South African Rand as expenditures in the WBJV were principally being incurred in Rand and funded by advances from the venturers which were denominated in Rand. The Company therefore considers its equity investment in the WBJV to be self sustaining and it translates its share of net equity of WBJV using the current rate method with translation gains and losses included in cumulative translation adjustment as a separate component of shareholder’s equity.

From inception of the WBJV to May 31, 2008 there have been no equity earnings or losses as all activities of the WBJV have been in connection with acquiring mineral rights and exploring the properties for minerals.

 (a) Elandsfontein interest

In December 2002 the Company acquired an option to purchase 100% of the surface and mineral rights to 365.64 hectares of the farm Elandsfontein 102 JQ located in the Western Bushveld area. The Company made an initial payment to the Vendors of Rand 150,000 (approx. C$29,500) and agreed to terms for the purchase of both mineral and surface rights.

The Company exercised its option to purchase the Elandsfontein property by way of written notice on June 26, 2003. A dispute arose with the Vendors as to the purchase price and the matter was referred for Expert Determination as provided for in the option agreement.

In 2005 the Company and the Vendors reached agreement whereby the Company purchased all surface and mineral rights to the property in exchange for Rand 7.0 million (approximately C$1.4 million). In September 2005 the Company was granted a “New Order” prospecting permit under the new Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (2002) over the Elandsfontein property.

(b) Onderstepoort interest

During 2003 the Company entered into several option agreements to acquire mineral rights on seven portions of the farm Onderstepoort 98 JQ located in the Western Bushveld. The Company could earn 100% of the mineral rights over certain portions and 50% of the mineral rights over the balance. To earn its interests the Company was required to make aggregate prospecting and option payments over time to the vendors of Rand 12.44 million (approximately C$2.24 million) ending April 2008. Of this amount, Rand 834,000 was paid. The Company now holds New Order prospecting permits on all of these farm portions.

During fiscal 2007 the Company negotiated and executed the buy-out and cancellation of one of the option agreements described above to acquire a 50% undivided interest in two farm portions in exchange for 50,000 common shares of the Company valued at $230,000.

During the period the Company negotiated and executed the buy-out and cancellation of the remaining option agreements for all remaining farm portions for one additional payment of 50,000 shares of the Company valued at $165,500.

By negotiating the buy-out and cancellation of these option agreements the Company eliminated all future option payments for this property while keeping the property under its control with regard to the mineral rights as granted to it by the Government of South Africa under New Order prospecting permits.

6.           MINERAL PROPERTIES

Nine month period ended May 31, 2008

Three month period ended May 31, 2008

(a)           Republic of South Africa

(i)           War Springs and Tweespalk

On June 3, 2002, the Company acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in the 2,396 hectare War Springs property and the 2,177 hectare Tweespalk property both located in the Northern Limb or Platreef area of the Bushveld Complex north of Johannesburg. Acquisition and exploration costs on these properties to May 31, 2008 total $3,271,673 (May 31, 2007 - $3,342,672).

Under the Old Order permits, the Company could purchase 100% of these mineral rights at any time for US$690 per hectare. The Company had also agreed to pay prospecting fees to the vendors of US$3.25 per hectare. The vendors retain a 1% NSR Royalty on the property, subject to the Company’s right to purchase the NSR at any time for US$1.4 million. A 5% finders’ fee applies to vendor payments.

Under the new Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (2002), which became effective in May 2004, Old Order permits were to be converted into New Order permits during a transition period. This process is now complete for the War Springs and Tweespalk properties. The June 3, 2002 option agreement provides for amendments as may be needed to maintain the parties in the same commercial position as they were in under the preceding mineral legislation and such amendments are yet to be completed.

Black Economic Empowerment groups Africa Wide, a subsidiary of Wesizwe Platinum Ltd. and Taung Minerals (Pty) Ltd., a subsidiary of Platmin Limited, each have acquired a 15% interest in the War Springs project carried to bankable feasibility. The Company retains a net 70% project interest.

Africa Wide has a 30% participating interest in the Tweespalk property. During the period the Company received payment in full from Wesizwe Platinum Ltd. for Africa Wide’s share of costs to August 31, 2007, which amounted to R1,549,673 (C$213,855 at May 31, 2008). The payment was treated as a recovery of costs relating to the Tweespalk property.

 (b)           Ontario

 (i)           Lac des Iles (“LDI”) River

On May 5, 2000, New Millennium entered into an option agreement to acquire a 50% interest in the Lac des Iles River property located near Thunder Bay, Ontario in exchange for cash payments ($43,500 paid in total) and the completion of exploration expenditures. On October 6, 2006, the Company and the property vendors entered into a termination and sale agreement whereby the option agreement was cancelled and the Company purchased an undivided 100% interest in the property subject only to underlying 2.0% Net Smelter Return Royalties. In settlement the Company made a one-time payment to the vendors of $50,000 in lieu of past and future exploration expenditure commitments not incurred.

(ii)           South Legris

In April 2000, and later as amended in January 2005, the Company acquired an option to earn a 50% interest in the South Legris property located near Thunder Bay, Ontario in exchange for cash payments ($105,000 paid in total) and the completion of certain exploration expenditures. On October 13, 2006, the Company and the property vendors entered into a termination and sale agreement whereby the option agreement was cancelled and the Company purchased an undivided 100% interest in the property subject only to underlying 2.0% Net Smelter Return Royalties. In settlement the Company made a one-time payment of $50,000 in lieu of past and future exploration expenditure commitments not incurred.

(iii)   Shelby Lake

On June 28, 2000, New Millennium entered into an option agreement to earn up to 60% interest in the Shelby Lake property, located near Thunder Bay, Ontario in exchange for cash payments of $15,000 (paid), issue 30,303 shares (issued) and complete $500,000 in exploration expenditures over a four-year period. On October 18, 2006, the Company and the property vendor entered into a termination and sale agreement whereby the option agreement was cancelled and the Company purchased an undivided 100% interest in the property for a one-time payment of $5,000 subject only to an underlying 2.0% Net Smelter Return Royalty, of which the Company may buy back one half for $500,000.

(v)           Lakemount

On November 6, 2003 the Company acquired an option to earn up to a 62% interest in the Lakemount property located near Wawa, Ontario. Exploration results on the project to date have been of interest, but in light of certain title deficiencies and a complex title chain, the Company has abandoned the project. During fiscal 2007, deferred acquisition and exploration costs relating to the project in the amount of $1,323,222 were written off.

 (c)           Title to mineral properties

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

Management Discussion and Analysis

1.        DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company is a British Columbia corporation incorporated on February 18, 2002 by 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 an exploration and development company conducting work primarily on mineral properties it has staked or acquired by way of option agreement in Ontario, Canada and the Republic of South Africa. The Company has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. 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 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.

This management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (the “Company”) focuses on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007. It is prepared as of July 11, 2008 and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2007 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period ended May 31, 2008 together with the notes thereto.

2.        DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

a) Results of Operations

Any reference to “period” refers to the nine month period ended May 31, 2008.

At May 31, 2008 the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short term investments on hand of $5,575,866 as compared to $14,699,067 on August 31, 2007. Of this amount approximately $Nil (August 31, 2007 – $3,613,919) relates to amounts advanced from the partners of the Western Bushveld Joint Venture (“WBJV”) to fund their share of the remaining portion of approved work programs. The Company was owed $1,686,012 by the WBJV partners for WBJV expenditures at May 31, 2008 and received this amount subsequent to the end of the period. Accounts payable at period end totaled $2,836,020 (August 31, 2007 - $2,304,845) and almost all of this ($2,117,000) was payable against technical and exploration work completed for the WBJV. The Company also held marketable securities at period end with a fair value of $1,714,001 (August 31, 2007 - $2,084,001).

The Company has not completed an equity placement since July of 2006. Apart from interest of $220,943 (2007 - $297,618) earned on cash deposits during the period the Company had no significant revenues to report. Funds on hand are expected to finance ongoing general and administrative costs, exploration activities and the Company’s portion of costs related to the WBJV.

On January 10, 2007, the Company completed a positive pre-feasibility study for the Project 1 area of the WBJV titled “Technical Report – Western Bushveld Joint Venture, Project 1 (Elandsfontein and Frischgewaagd)” and filed the report on SEDAR January 30, 2007. During 2007 the WBJV then commissioned a Feasibility Study (“FS”) for the Project 1 area of the WBJV, which was completed and delivered to the partners of the WBJV on June 30, 2008.  Details of the FS were published by the Company in a news release dated July 7, 2008.  The partners will have ninety days to review the FS and the Management Committee of the WBJV is expected to be asked to consider a decision to mine for Project 1 of the WBJV in early October 2008.  Additional financing will be required if the Company is to fund its share of Project 1 costs in the event that a decision to mine is taken by the partners of the WBJV.

At the time of writing, power shortages in South Africa and the probability that electrical power will be in short supply until the end of 2012 have caused the Company to plan for the need to be self sufficient during this time for electrical needs by including the capital and operating cost for site diesel generation into its FS.

During the third quarter the Company published three resource calculation updates, one for the War Springs Project, one for Project 2 of the WBJV and one for Project 3 of the WBJV.  (See Item 2d. “Exploration Programs and Expenditures” below).

Through a 50% direct interest held by the WBJV the Company also holds an effective 18.5% interest in two farms comprising Project 2 of the WBJV. Project 2 is the main component property of the Frischgewaagd-Ledig project operated by Wesizwe Platinum Ltd. (JSE: WEZ) for which a feasibility study was completed and published on March 31, 2008.  Platinum Group Metals, Anglo Platinum and Wesizwe are in amicable discussions regarding the business arrangement over the areas of shared mineral rights within the Wesizwe area covered by the study. The Project 2 mineral rights form a logical block for consideration.

The Wesizwe feasibility study was completed by Wesizwe and their consultants TWP, Murray and Roberts Cementation and the Mineral Corporation, all relevant experienced South African independent mining contractors. The study is now being reviewed and amended by a “qualified person” with reference to Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and is expected to be published in NI 43-101 format by Platinum Group Metals Ltd. in the fourth quarter.  Platinum Group will provide more technical information once this process is complete.

Platinum Group Metals most recent disclosure on the 781 hectare Project 2 area provides for a total of 832,000 ounces of Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium and Gold (“4E”) in the measured category, 4.2 million 4E ounces in the indicated category and 3.94 million 4E ounces in the inferred category.  Of these ounces 50% attribute to the WBJV resulting in 18.5% of the gross ounces attributing to the Company. (See Item 2d. “Exploration Programs and Expenditures” below).  Considerable drilling by Wesizwe and a 3 dimensional seismic survey, completed co-operatively by all owners, has been completed over the Project 2 and Project 3 areas.

The Company is currently conducting further exploration work on the Project 3 area of the WBJV.  Guided by the 3 dimensional seismic survey, the Company has conducted drilling over the area during the period. At the time of writing there is one diamond drill turning on Project 3.  Several other rigs have just completed there current Project 3 assignments.  One other rig continues with geo-technical drilling on Project 1.  The Company completed an initial resource calculation for the Project 3 area of the WBJV during the third quarter. (See Item 2d. “Exploration Programs and Expenditures” below).

The majority of work programs approved by the partners of the WBJV since 2006 have been completed at the time of writing.  The partners share the cost of work programs pro-rata to their interest in the WBJV.  Rand 201 million (approximately $28.7 million) was budgeted for work by the partners of the WBJV since 2006 and of that approved cash calls to the partners to date total R 179 million (approximately $25.57 million).  During April 2008 the participants of the WBJV also approved a budget for the acquisition of long lead capital items in the amount of R 21.086 million (approximately $2.74 million) and that budget has been funded at the time of writing.  The remaining work budget applies to both the exploration of the Project 3 area of the WBJV and to preparatory engineering and development work on Project 1.  Activities for the WBJV have included research and data review, prospecting, mapping, detailed engineering, drilling of project areas, geophysical studies, geotechnical work, metallurgical studies and mine plan and scheduling work.  A new forward budget is currently under consideration as the FS for Project 1 was completed on June 30, 2008.

The Company also maintains two other projects in South Africa on the North Limb of the Bushveld Complex. The Tweespalk and War Springs projects are currently the subject of only modest work efforts as the Company is focused on the WBJV. Given recent increases in metal prices more active work is being considered at both the Tweespalk and War Springs projects in 2008. On March 17, 2008 the Company published a revised and updated resource calculation for the War Springs property based on drilling and exploration work conducted in the last three years.  (See Item 2d. “Exploration Programs and Expenditures” below).

During the period the Company has conducted a new business generative program.  Research and implementation, including the staking of several new license areas, has cost approximately $259,048. The Company hopes to receive the grant of one or more new prospecting permits on or near to the Bushveld Complex in the near future.

The Company also conducted work on its Canadian projects during the period. A 1,125 metre drill program was completed on the Company’s Lac Des Iles projects in the first quarter. The Company maintains a large mineral rights position in the Lac des Iles area north of Thunder Bay as a strategic holding against increasing prices for palladium and platinum. Encouraging exploration results for palladium, platinum, nickel and copper continue to be returned and the Company plans to invest further in this area in the future.

For more information about the WBJV and the Company’s other mineral properties please refer to Notes 5. and 6. of the Company’s May 31, 2008 unaudited financial statements and below for further discussion regarding the WBJV.

During the 9 month period the Company incurred a net loss of $3,943,588 (2007 - $5,365,229). Before a non-cash charge for stock based compensation of $638,034 (2007 - $1,395,866) and mineral property costs written off of $Nil (2007 - $1,323,222), general and administrative expenses totaled $3,667,996 (2007 - $2,943,759). Interest amounted to $220,943 (2007 - $297,618).  The $724,237 increase in administrative expenses over the comparative period is explained for the most part by foreign exchange losses of $35,181 (2007 - $(5,711)), a $40,892 change, a $204,137 increase in salaries and benefits from $875,405 in 2007 to $1,079,542 in 2008, a $302,606 increase in professional fees from $212,710 in 2007 to $515,316 in 2008, and an increase in travel expenses of $187,197 from $500,754 in 2007 to $687,951 in 2008.

The Company has increased its general level of activity in the past three years in South Africa while exploration activities in Canada have been reduced, as the more advanced nature of the WBJV project has caused it to become an investment focus for the Company. Since 2005 the Company has seen its compliment of staff, consultants and casual workers increase from approximately 20 to over 50 individuals in April 2008. Office space and support services requirements in Canada and South Africa have also increased to accommodate these people. As the WBJV has matured there has been a need for more administration and management oversight from Canada with a corresponding increase in travel and communication expenses. At the same time the general market for both skilled and unskilled personnel in Canada and South Africa has seen increases in general compensation costs.  The Company’s listing on the American Stock Exchange in 2007 and the costs of compliance with Sarbanes-Oxely legislation in the USA and Multilateral Instrument 52-109 in Canada have resulted in increased professional fees in the nine months ended May 31, 2008.

During the period Wesizwe Platinum Ltd. completed the acquisition of 100% of the Company’s Black Economic Empowerment partner Africa Wide Mining and then repaid the Company an amount of $21,205 for the cost of administrative amounts recorded as advances due from Africa Wide. Total global exploration expenditures for the Company’s account, including the Company’s share of WBJV expenditures during the period totaled $6,545,212 (2007 - $2,737,018). Of this amount $6,069,729 was for the WBJV (2007 - $2,266,519) and $475,483 was for other exploration (2007 - $470,499). After meeting its earn in requirements in April 2006, Platinum Group Metals Ltd. is currently responsible only for its 37% pro-rata share of expenditures for the Western Bushveld Joint Venture (“WBJV”). Total WBJV expenditures during the period by all Joint Venture partners amounted to $15,771,419 (2007: $6,415,630).

The Company still actively reviews many potential property acquisitions in the normal course of business. The Company also makes efforts to raise its profile and liquidity in the capital markets.

The following tables set forth selected financial data from the Company’s annual audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with those financial statements:

	Year ended Aug. 31, 2007	Year ended Aug. 31, 2006	Year Ended Aug. 31, 2005
Revenues	$640,359(1)	$235,236	$218,373
Net Loss	($6,758,123)(2)	($3,853,273)	($3,795,648)
Net Loss per Share	($0.12)	($0.08)	($0.10)

Long Term Debt	Nil	Nil	Nil
Dividends	Nil	Nil	Nil

Explanatory Notes:

(1)The Company’s only significant source of revenue during the years ending August 31, 2005 to 2007 was interest revenue from GIC’s held by the Company. The amount of interest revenue earned correlates directly to the amount of cash on hand during the period referenced.

(2)The Company’s net loss has been increasing during the years ending August 31, 2005 to 2007 due to several factors. A large factor is stock compensation expense which totalled $1,487,661 in 2007, $110,176 in 2006 and $1,283,289 in 2005. Another factor is the write off of deferred mineral property costs of $1,323,222 in 2007, $1,174,325 in 2006 and $974,294 in 2005. If one removes the effect of these two factors from each fiscal year the recorded annual loss becomes modified to $3,947,240 for 2007, $2,568,772 for 2006 and $1,538,065 for 2005. During fiscal 2007 the Company completed a listing on the American Stock Exchange and for the first time was required to certify its internal and disclosure controls under Sarbanes-Oxley legislation in the USA as well as Multilateral Instrument 52-109 in Canada. This resulted in an increase in professional fees in 2007 over 2006 of $150,722 and an increase in listing fees in 2007 over 2006 of $80,696. Management and consulting fees increased by an aggregate $322,613 in 2007 as a result of several factors, including; the Company used an executive search consultant during the period ($27,154), the Company used a strategic analyst during the year ($78,225), performance bonuses increased in the year ($41,000), new directors fees for non-executive directors were paid in the year ($75,000). General market related increases in compensation levels also occurred. Salaries and benefits were up by $495,873 in 2007 and factors include; the hiring of new employees in South Africa (approximately $270,000), increased performance bonuses ($39,200) and market related increases in compensation levels. The remaining year-on-year increase in this modified loss value is then explained by the growth in the Company and its activities as described above at “Discussion of Operations and Financial Condition”.

(3)Total assets have been increasing year-on-year primarily as a result of the Company’s cash balance and continued investment in mineral properties funded by completion of private placement equity financings. At August 31, 2007 the Company held $14,669,067 in cash and cash equivalents and short term investments. At August 31, 2006 the Company held $10,066,801 in cash and cash equivalents versus $2,750,461 at August 31, 2005.

The Company has not 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 the growth of its business.

Restatement

During the current interim period, the Company identified that it had recorded stock based compensation of $803,000 in the third quarter of 2007 that should have been recorded in the second quarter of 2007.  The Company has restated its interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and cashflows for the three months ended May 31, 2007 as follows:

This restatement for the comparative period in 2007 has been reflected throughout the Company’s disclosure for May 31, 2008 and in particular in the table of selected quarterly financial information presented above.  This restatement had no affect on either the results for the 9 month period ended May 31, 2007 or for the year ended August 31, 2008.

b) Trend Information

Other than the financial obligations as set out in the table provided at item 6 below, there are no identifiable trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties 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 sufficient capital in the future to meet its ongoing obligations.  Apart from a possible buy-out of the War Springs and Tweespalk properties, the Company has no other property acquisition payments due to vendors under mineral property option agreements.  It is unlikely that the Company will generate sufficient operating cash flow to meet all of its ongoing obligations in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company will need to raise additional capital by issuance of equity within the next year. The Company has completed a Feasibility Study for the Project 1 area of the WBJV. If a production decision is taken by the WBJV in October 2008, the Company will most likely pursue debt financing for a portion of its share of the capital requirements for that project.

At the time of writing there is a favourable macro-trend with regard to the market for metal commodities and related products, however, it is the opinion of the Company that its own liquidity will be most affected by the results of its own acquisition, exploration and development activities. The acquisition or discovery of an economic mineral deposit on one of its mineral properties may have a favourable effect on the Company’s liquidity, and conversely, the failure to acquire or find one may have a negative effect.

c) Risk Factors

The Company’s securities should be considered a highly speculative investment and investors should carefully consider all of the information disclosed in the Company’s Canadian and U.S. regulatory filings prior to making an investment in the Company. For a discussion of risk factors applicable to the Company, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual information form filed with Canadian provincial securities regulators, which was also filed as part of the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 40-F with the S.E.C. Without limiting the foregoing, the following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in the Company’s securities.

General

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits, which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production.

The Company’s business is subject to exploration and development risks

All but one of the Company’s properties are in the exploration stage and no known reserves have been discovered on such properties, the exception being the development stage Project 1 of the WBJV (see Item 2d. “Exploration Programs and Expenditures” below). At this stage, favorable drilling results, estimates and studies are subject to a number of risks, including:

·   the limited amount of drilling and testing completed to date;

·   the preliminary nature of any operating and capital cost estimates;

·   the difficulties inherent in scaling up operations and achieving expected metallurgical recoveries;

·   the likelihood of cost estimates increasing in the future; and

·   the possibility of difficulties procuring needed supplies of electrical power and water.

There is no certainty that the expenditures to be made by us or by our joint venture partners in the exploration of the properties described herein will result in discoveries of precious metals in commercial quantities or that any of our properties will be developed. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of precious metals and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of precious metals will in fact be realized or that any identified resource will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) resource which can be legally and economically exploited. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permit regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of precious metals ultimately discovered may differ from that indicated by drilling results. There can be no assurance that precious metals recovered in small-scale tests will be duplicated in large-scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale.

Political and economic instability may affect the Company’s business

South Africa has undergone significant change in its government and laws since the free elections in 1994. At present, Mining Legislation in South Africa is continuing to undergo change. The new Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act became law on May 1, 2004. The regulation and operation of this new law is still being implemented. In association with the new Act, the Mining Charter sets out a target of 26% ownership and participation in the mineral industry by “Historically Disadvantaged Persons” within ten years, but the mechanisms to fully affect this objective are still evolving. Accordingly, the South African legal regime may be considered relatively new, resulting in risks related to the possible misinterpretation of new laws, unilateral modification of mining or exploration rights, operating restrictions, increased taxes, environmental regulation, mine safety and other risks arising out of new sovereignty over mining, any or all of which could have an adverse affect on the Company. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to convert its existing exploration rights into mining rights. The Company’s operations in general may also be affected in varying degrees by political and economic instability, terrorism, crime, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and inflation.

The Company is subject to risk of fluctuations in the relative values of the Canadian Dollar as compared to the South African Rand and the U.S. Dollar

The Company may be adversely affected by foreign currency fluctuations. The Company is primarily funded through equity investments into the Company denominated in Canadian Dollars. Several of the Company’s options to acquire properties in the Republic of South Africa may result in option payments by the Company denominated in South African Rand or in U.S. Dollars over the next three years. Exploration and development programs to be conducted by the Company in South Africa will also be funded in South African Rand. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar and the South African Rand or U.S. Dollar may have an adverse affect on the Company.

The Company’s properties are subject to title risks

The Company’s properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. These defects could adversely affect the Company’s title to such properties or delay or increase the cost of the development of such properties. In addition, the Company’s properties may be subject to aboriginal or other historical rights that may be claimed on Crown properties or other types of tenure with respect to which mineral rights have been conferred. The Company is not aware of any aboriginal land claims having been asserted or any legal actions relating to native issues having been instituted with respect to any of the mineral properties in which the Company has an interest. The Company is aware of the mutual benefits afforded by co-operative relationships with indigenous people in conducting exploration activity and is supportive of measures established to achieve such co-operation.

Environmental risk

Environmental legislation on a global basis is evolving in a manner that will ensure stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessment of proposed development and a higher level of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes to environmental legislation in Canada or South Africa will not adversely affect the Company’s operations. Environmental risks may exist on properties in which the Company holds interests which are unknown at present and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators. Furthermore, future compliance with environmental reclamation, closure and other requirements may involve significant costs and other liabilities. In particular, the Company’s operations and exploration activities are subject to Canadian and South African national and provincial laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. Such laws are continually changing, and in general are becoming more restrictive.

The mineral exploration industry is extremely competitive

The resource industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases, and the Company competes with many companies that possess greater financial resources and technical facilities. Competition could adversely affect the Company’s ability to acquire suitable new producing properties or prospects for exploration in the future. Competition could also affect the Company’s ability to raise financing to fund the exploration and development of its properties or to hire qualified personnel.

Metal prices affect the success of the Company’s business

Metal prices have historically been subject to significant price fluctuation. No assurance may be given that metal prices will remain stable. Significant price fluctuations over short periods of time may be generated by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including domestic and international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities and increases or decreases in production due to improved mining and production methods. Significant reductions or volatility in metal prices may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, including the economic attractiveness of the Company’s projects, the Company’s ability to obtain financing and, if the Company’s projects enter the production phase, the amount of the Company’s revenue or profit or loss.

d) Exploration Programs and Expenditures

General

The Company continues to be active in the Republic of South Africa (“RSA”). In 2003 the Company acquired a 100% South African subsidiary named Platinum Group Metals RSA (Pty.) Ltd. (“PTM RSA”) for the purposes of holding mineral rights and conducting operations on behalf of the Company. The Company conducts all of its South African exploration and development work through PTM RSA.

Mineral property acquisition costs deferred during the period totaled $223,956 (2007 - $362,915). Of this amount acquisition costs relating to the Company’s 37% pro-rata share of the WBJV amounted to $182,748 (2007 - $252,164) while the balance related to Canadian properties. Exploration costs incurred globally in the period for the Company’s interests totaled $6,545,212 (2007 - $2,737,018). Of that amount $161,619 (2007 - $171,571) was incurred on the Company’s Canadian properties and $6,383,593 (2007 - $2,565,447) was incurred on the Company’s South African properties. Of the South African amount, $6,069,729 was for the Company’s 37% share of WBJV expenditures (2007 - $2,266,519). The total amount (100%) of exploration expenditures by all Joint Venture partners for the nine month period for the WBJV came to $15,559,303 which was higher than the 100% amount spent in the same period last year (2007 - $6,125,726).

During the period there were no write-offs in deferred costs relating to South African or Canadian projects, while write-offs in the same period in 2007 amounted to $1,323,222 for Canada and Nil for South African properties.

Western Bushveld Joint Venture

On October 26, 2004 the Company (37%) entered into a Joint Venture with Anglo Platinum Limited (“Anglo Platinum”) (37%) and Africa Wide Mineral Prospecting and Exploration (Pty) Limited ( “Africa Wide” ) (26%) to pursue platinum exploration and development on combined mineral rights covering approximately 67 square kilometres on the Western Bushveld Complex of South Africa. The Company contributed all of its interests in portions of the farms Onderstepoort 98 JQ and Elandsfontein 102 JQ. Anglo Platinum contributed its interests in portions of the farms Koedoesfontein 94 JQ, Elandsfontein 102 JQ and Frischgewaagd 96 JQ.

The Company is the operator of the WBJV. From October 2004 to April 2006 the Company funded a required exploration program in the amount of Rand 35 million (at August 31, 2005 approx. C$6.44 million). Since then the partners of the WBJV have been required to fund their portion of further expenditures pro-rata based upon their working interest in the Joint Venture. From April 2006 to March 2007 the partners to the WBJV approved budgets in the amount of Rand 76,393,208 (approximately C$11.7 million at September 2006). In July 2007 the WBJV participants approved a new cash budget for the WBJV totaling Rand 102,976,176 (approximately C$15.5 million in July 2007). At May 31, 2008 Anglo Platinum had a contribution balance owing to the WBJV of Rand 7,591,847 (C$990,736) and Africa Wide had a contribution balance owing to the WBJV of Rand 5,327,783 (C$695,276).  These balances were received subsequent to period end.

To May 31, 2008 all receipts, disbursements and net assets, excluding mineral properties contributed by other venturers to the WBJV are recorded in the books and records of the Company on behalf of the Joint Venture. Of the $2,836,020 in the Company’s accounts payable at May 31, 2008 an amount of $2,117,000 (approximately Rand 16.2 million) was incurred on behalf of the WBJV.

In April 2007 Africa Wide accepted an offer for the purchase of 100% their company from Wesizwe Platinum Ltd. (WEZ:JSE). The transaction closed in September 2007 and Wesizwe paid consideration of 57.4 million new shares of Wesizwe at a deemed price of Rand 10.48 per share for total consideration of Rand 601.5 million (approximately C$90 million). Since September 2007 Wesizwe has become responsible for all of the rights and obligations of Africa Wide.

On April 9, 2007 the Company announced the formal contribution to the WBJV of a 50% interest in the mineral rights to the 494 hectare Portion 11 of the Farm Frischgewaagd 96 JQ (“Portion 11”) by Rustenburg Platinum Mines Ltd., a subsidiary of Anglo Platinum. With this addition the geographic area of the WBJV now covers approximately 72 square kilometres of territory. Portion 11 now forms part of the Project 2 area of the WBJV. This expanded Project 2 area is adjacent to the WBJV “Project 1” area. Anglo Platinum’s 50% interest in Portion 11 relates to New Order mineral rights that were converted from Old Order rights in 2007. All of the parties to the shared mineral rights on Portion 11 and RE 4 are working toward a detailed co-operation agreement. Current drilling being conducted under initial co-operation agreements is expected to continue.

Once a Feasibility Study has been completed the respective deemed capital contribution of each party will be credited based on their contribution of measured, indicated, and inferred PGM ounces from the contributed properties comprising the WBJV, determined in accordance with the South African SAMREC code. Under the terms of the original WBJV Agreement, inferred ounces will be credited at US$0.50 per ounce, indicated ounces will be credited at US$3.20 per ounce and measured ounces will be credited at US$6.20 per ounce. The Company will also be credited for its Rand 35 million expenditure as described above. Each party will then have the opportunity to make equalizing cash payment, or contribute capital going forward in order to catch up any resulting shortfall in their contributed capital and thereby maintain their respective working interest in the JV. Should a party not wish to participate, the JV agreement provides a mechanism whereby the parties may elect to become “non-contributory” to the JV and by doing so they would be subject to dilution.

Portion 11 was contributed to the WBJV in 2007 as originally planned under the existing terms of the October 2004 WBJV Agreement. For this later contribution of Portion 11 the original credit rates for equalization as described above have been amended to US$0.62 per inferred ounce, US$10.37 per indicated ounce and US$39.55 per measured ounce in order to adjust for current market conditions.

In January 2007 the Company published a Pre-Feasibility Report and an updated Independent Resource Estimate which shows Measured, Indicated and Inferred “4E” (platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold) resources for the Project 1 area of the WBJV. On February 7, 2007 the Company published an initial Independent Resource Estimate for the Project 2 area of the WBJV. Later, on September 7, 2007 the Company published an updated resource calculation.  During the current period, on April 22, 2008 the Company published a resource calculation for Project 2 of the WBJV and then on April 25, 2008 an initial resource was published for the Project 3 area of the WBJV.  These resource calculations are summarized in the table below.

The Pre-Feasibility Study and revised resource estimation for the Project 1 area of the WBJV was dated January 15, 2007. A report titled “Technical Report Western Bushveld Joint Venture Project 1 (Elandsfontein and Frischgewaagd)” was filed by the Company on www.sedar.com January 30, 2007. The Pre-Feasibility Study considers and outlines the details and possible mitigation of several considered projects risks, not yet assessed in full detail, including metallurgical recoveries, smelting and refining costs, surface and mining rights, permits, and involvement of communities in compliance with the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act (2002).

The Pre-Feasibility Study’s findings were positive for a platinum mine in the Project 1 area of the Western Bushveld Joint Venture (“WBJV”) in South Africa. The partners of the WBJV gave their approval to advance towards a Feasibility Study for an underground mine producing approximately 250,000 4E ounces per annum in concentrate with a total mine life over 18 years.  The Feasibility Study was delivered to the Partners of the WBJV on June 30, 2008 and results thereof were published by the Company in a news release dated July 7, 2008.

The majority of work programs approved by the partners of the WBJV since 2006 have been completed at the time of writing.  The partners share the cost of work programs pro-rata to their interest in the WBJV.  Rand 201 million (approximately $28.7 million) was budgeted for work by the partners of the WBJV since 2006 and of that approved cash calls to the partners to date total R 179 million (approximately $25.57 million).  During April 2008 the participants of the WBJV also approved a budget for the acquisition of long lead capital items in the amount of R 21.086 million (approximately $2.74 million) and that budget has been funded at the time of writing.  The remaining work budget applies to both the exploration of the Project 3 area of the WBJV and to preparatory engineering and development work on Project 1.  Activities for the WBJV have included research and data review, prospecting, mapping, detailed engineering, drilling of project areas, geophysical studies, geotechnical work, metallurgical studies and mine plan and scheduling work.  A new forward budget is currently under consideration as the FS for Project 1 was completed on June 30, 2008.

Resources in the Measured and Indicated categories can be included in a financial model under SAMREC and NI-43101 guidelines. Further drilling is now investigating additional areas with reef potential along strike on Project 3 within the Joint Venture area. Since January 2005 PTM has drilled more than 200,000 metres of core in 265 boreholes, including 37 geotechnical holes. At the time of writing the Company has one diamond drilling rig deployed on Project 3 of the WBJV and a second conducting geo-technical drilling on Project 1 of the WBJV.

Summary resource details from published reports for Project 1, Project 2 and Project 3 follow in the table below. Platinum Group Metals Ltd. holds a 37% interest in the 4E ounces attributable to the WBJV. The prill splits and 4E estimates for Project 2 have been calculated by arithmetic mean. The prill splits and 4E estimates for Project 1 and 3 have been tested for reasonableness by kriging on the individual elements. Copper and nickel as well as the minor platinum group elements have also been estimated with a statistical process of Simple Kriging for Project 1. Absent values for copper, nickel and the minor platinum group elements have been derived from regressed values.

Project 1 Resource Calculation Detail

A 39% and 41% total geological loss for the Merensky Reef and UG2 Reef respectively was applied to the resource area to accommodate for areas of potentially un-mineable structural and geological conditions. This geological loss considers losses for faults, dykes, potholes and areas of iron replacement pegmatite. Structural loss estimates are based on drilling, field mapping and remote sense data which include a high resolution aeromagnetic survey. The Merensky mineral resource estimate is based on 158 boreholes with 178 intercepts and the UG2 is based on 192 intercepts within the 1,087 hectare area. The prill split has been calculated by weighted averages as a proportion of the total 4E and the grades have been estimated with a more rigorous statistical process of Simple Kriging. The cut-off was determined on a practical mining width and the known costs and mining methods regionally. Platinum Group’s independent consulting Qualified Person has provided the resource estimate according to the SAMREC code. The reconciliation to the CIM codes is that the categories are the same. The resources are located on New Order prospecting permits that provide for the right to be converted to mining rights. Charles Muller of Minxcon is the Qualified Person (“QP”) for this report. He is registered with the SACNASP (South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions) (Registration No. 400201/04). Mr. Muller is an independent consultant with 18 years experience as a geologist, and resource evaluator. Samples were analyzed under Platinum Group’s and Anglo Platinum’s protocols including insertion of blanks, duplicates and certified reference materials in the assay stream once in every 24 or fewer samples. This is in addition to internal quality control measures undertaken by the contracted analytical facilities.

Project 2 Resource Calculation Detail

The mining cuts were evaluated based on a minimum width of 100cm, the application of a geological cut as applicable to the various facies of the Merensky Reef and UG2 Chromitite Layer and a 1g/t 3PGE+Au marginal cut-off. Kriging and declustered means were used for the calculations.  The updated estimate is based on 123 holes of drilling by Wesizwe and a 3 dimensional seismic survey, completed co-operatively by all owners in the area. A total of 519 intersections on the reef plane have been completed and assayed for platinum, palladium, rhodium, and gold. A 25% geological loss was applied. The resources are calculated in accordance with the SAMREC code and the reconciliation of SAMREC to CIM categories is that they are effectively the same.  Mr. David Young of The Mineral Corporation is the independent QP for mineral resource estimation for Frischgewaagd Portions 4 and 11 and takes responsibility for it. He is registered with the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (“SACNASP”) (Registration No. 400989/83) and Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.  Mr. Ken Lomberg of RSG Global/Coffey Mining acting as an independent QP, has reviewed the mineral resource estimate undertaken by Mr. Young. Mr. Lomberg is registered with the SACNASP (Registration No 400038/01) and has some 22 years of relevant experience in platinum group metal resource assessments. Mr. Lomberg visited the property and has completed sufficient testing to be satisfied that he has reasonably verified the data for the resources announced here.  Samples were analyzed under Wesizwe’s care, custody and quality control process for the project including insertion of blanks, duplicates and certified reference materials in the assay stream. This is in addition to internal quality control measures undertaken by the contracted certified analytical facilities. Assays were completed by Mintek and SGS Lakefield, Johannesburg and check assays by Setpoint and Genalysis, Johannesburg.

Project 3 Resource Calculation Detail

A 14% geological loss for the Merensky Reef and UG2 Reef respectively was applied to the area to accommodate for areas of potentially un-mineable structural and geological conditions. This geological loss considers losses for faults, dykes, potholes and areas of iron replacement pegmatite. Structural loss estimates are based on drilling, field mapping and remote sense data which include a high resolution aeromagnetic survey and a 3D seismic survey.  The Merensky mineral resource estimate is based on 24 boreholes with 27 intercepts and the UG2 is based on 15 intercepts within the 224.28 hectare area. The prill split has been calculated by weighted averages as a proportion of the total 4E and the grades have been estimated with a more rigorous statistical process of Simple Kriging. (The prill splits and 4E estimates have been tested for reasonableness by kriging on the individual elements).   Copper and nickel as well as the minor platinum group elements have also been estimated with a statistical process of Simple kriging. Absent values for copper, nickel and the minor platinum group elements have been derived from regressed values. The cut-off was determined on a practical mining width and the known costs and mining methods regionally. Platinum Group’s independent consulting Qualified Person has provided the mineral resource estimate according to the SAMREC code.

War Springs Resource Calculation Detail

The War Springs Mineral Resource is characterised by two distinct reef layers, termed the "B" and "C" reefs. Both reefs are typically greater than 6m thick. The reefs outcrop on surface and extend down dip in parallel sheets at a 65 degree angle to a depth of 400 metres, remaining open at depth. A 5% geological loss has been applied.  Eighteen holes had been completed by the end of May 2005, relating to 7,433m of drilling. A total of 8,188 samples were collected for the determination of elements Platinum, Palladium, Gold, Copper and Nickel. Four additional boreholes were drilled (1,646m) during the period November 2005 to early February 2006, on high priority soil targets (Phase 2 Drilling Program). An additional 1,738 samples were collected for analysis.  Of the 22 boreholes drilled, 15 boreholes intersected the “B” Reef and 8 boreholes intersected the “C” Reef.  Drilling results from Phase 1 and 2 covering approximately 2,200 metres of strike length on a 250 metre spacing, combined with a review of the cut-off, form the basis of the updated Inferred Mineral Resource estimation to be reported in a NI43-101 document, compiled by Minxcon (Pty) Ltd, dated March, 2008.  Mr. Charles Muller of Minxcon is the Qualified Person (“QP”) for the War Springs resource estimate. He is registered with the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNASP) (Registration No. 400201/04). Mr. Muller is an independent consultant with 18 years experience as a geologist, and resource evaluator. Samples were analyzed under Platinum Group’s previously published protocols for the project including insertion of blanks, duplicates and certified reference materials in the assay stream once in every 24 or fewer samples. This is in addition to internal quality control measures undertaken by the contracted certified analytical facilities. Assays were completed by standard fire assay procedures with preparation at the Setpoint facility at Mokopane and final assays at Genalysis Laboratories Services Pty Ltd in Perth Australia or Anglo Research Laboratories.

Northern Limb, Bushveld - War Springs and Tweespalk Properties

On June 3, 2002, the Company entered an option agreement whereby it may earn a 100% interest in the 2,396 hectare War Springs property and the 2,177 hectare Tweespalk property both located in the Northern Limb or Platreef area of the Bushveld Complex north of Johannesburg. Acquisition and exploration costs on these properties to May 31, 2008 total $3,271,673 (2007 - $3,342,672).

By prior agreement with the holders of the Old Order mineral rights the Company had an option to purchase 100% of these mineral rights for US$690 per hectare. The Company also agreed to pay prospecting fees to the vendors of US$3.25 per hectare. The vendors retain a 1% NSR Royalty on the property, subject to the Company’s right to purchase the NSR at any time for US$1.4 million. A 5% finders’ fee applies to vendor payments.

Under the new Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (2002), which became effective in May 2004, Old Order permits were to be converted into New Order permits during a transition period. This process is now complete for the War Springs and Tweespalk properties. The June 3, 2002 option agreement provides for amendments as may be needed to maintain the parties in the same commercial position as they were in under the preceding mineral legislation and such amendments are yet to be completed.

Black Economic Empowerment groups Africa Wide and Taung Minerals (Pty) Ltd. have each acquired a 15% interest in the War Springs project carried to bankable feasibility. The Company’s retains a net 70% project interest.

Africa Wide also has a 30% participating interest in the Tweespalk property. During the period the Company received payment in full from Wesizwe Platinum Ltd. for Africa Wide’s share of costs to August 31, 2007, which amounted to R 1,549,673 (C$213,855 at May 31, 2008). The payment was treated as a recovery of costs relating to the Tweespalk property.

The Tweespalk and War Springs projects are currently the subject of only modest work efforts as the Company is focused on the WBJV. Given recent increases in metal prices both the Tweespalk and War Springs projects are being considered for more active exploration work in 2008. On March 17, 2008 the Company published a revised and updated resource calculation for the War Springs property based on drilling and exploration work conducted in the last three years.  Details are as follow are included in the Table above.

The War Springs Mineral Resource is characterised by two distinct reef layers, termed the "B" and "C" reefs. Both reefs are typically greater than 6m thick. The reefs outcrop on surface and extend down dip in parallel sheets at a 65 degree angle to a depth of 400 metres, remaining open at depth. A 5% geological loss has been applied.

He is registered with the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNASP) (Registration No. 400201/04). Mr. Muller is an independent consultant with 18 years experience as a geologist, and resource evaluator. Samples were analyzed under Platinum Group’s previously published protocols for the project including insertion of blanks, duplicates and certified reference materials in the assay stream once in every 24 or fewer samples. This is in addition to internal quality control measures undertaken by the contracted certified analytical facilities. Assays were completed by standard fire assay procedures with preparation at the Setpoint facility at Mokopane and final assays at Genalysis Laboratories Services Pty Ltd in Perth Australia or Anglo Research Laboratories.

Lakemount, Ontario

On November 6, 2003 the Company acquired an option to earn up to a 62% interest in the 3,017 hectare Lakemount property located near Wawa, Ontario. Exploration results on the project to date have been of interest, but in light of certain title deficiencies and a complex title chain, the Company has abandoned the project. Deferred acquisition and exploration costs relating to the project in the amount of $1,323,222 were written off in the year ended August 31, 2007.

Lac Des Iles Area Properties, Ontario

On May 5, 2000, New Millennium entered into an option agreement to acquire a 50% interest in the Lac des Iles River property located near Thunder Bay, Ontario in exchange for cash payments ($43,500 paid in total) and the completion of exploration expenditures. On October 6, 2006, the Company and the property vendors entered into a termination and sale agreement whereby the option agreement was cancelled and the Company purchased an undivided 100% interest in the property subject only to an underlying 2.0% Net Smelter Return Royalty. In settlement the Company made a one-time payment to the vendors of $50,000 in lieu of past and future exploration expenditure commitments not incurred.

In April 2000, and later as amended in January 2005, the Company acquired an option to earn a 50% interest in the South Legris property located near Thunder Bay, Ontario in exchange for cash payments ($105,000 paid in total) and the completion of certain exploration expenditures. On October 13, 2006, the Company and the property vendors entered into a termination and sale agreement whereby the option agreement was cancelled and the Company purchased an undivided 100% interest in the property subject only to underlying 2.0% Net Smelter Return Royalties. In settlement the Company made a one-time payment of $50,000 in lieu of past and future exploration expenditure commitments not incurred.

On June 28, 2000, New Millennium entered into an option agreement to earn up to 60% interest in the Shelby Lake property, located near Thunder Bay, Ontario in exchange for cash payments of $15,000 (paid), the issue of 30,303 shares (issued) and the completion of exploration expenditures. On October 18, 2006, the Company and the property vendor entered into a termination and sale agreement whereby the option agreement was cancelled and the Company purchased an undivided 100% interest in the property for a one-time payment of $5,000 subject only to an underlying 2.0% Net Smelter Return Royalty.

In late 2006 a 1,090 metre drill program was conducted on the Company’s Lac Des Iles area projects. A further drill program planned for 1,125 metres was completed during the period and completed in December 2007. Costs for the program since August 31, 2007 have amounted to approximately $161,000. Results of exploration for the current program and those over the last few years for palladium, platinum, nickel and copper have been encouraging and the Company plans to invest further in this area in the future. At the time of writing a 2008 exploration budget for the area is under consideration.

e) Administration Expenses

Before a non-cash charge for stock based compensation of $638,034 (2007 - $1,395,866), and mineral property costs written off of $Nil (2007 - $1,323,222), and not including interest in the period of $220,943 (2007 - $297,618), general and administrative expenses totaled $3,667,996 (2007 - $2,943,759).  Since 2002 the Company has grown substantially through its amalgamation with New Millennium Metals Corporation and its expansion into the Republic of South Africa. This growth is reflected in the costs described herein. During 2004 the Company opened and staffed a permanent office in Johannesburg and commenced active exploration on the ground. The costs described above include management and consulting fees of $443,865 (2007 - $524,197); office and miscellaneous expenses of $157,390 (2007 - $185,365); professional fees of $515,316 (2007 - $212,710); salaries and benefits of $1,079,542 (2007 - $875,405); shareholder relations expense of $110,423 (2007 - $167,408); travel expenses of $687,951 (2007 - $500,754); news release, print and mailout expenses of $55,786 (2007 - $79,526) and promotion expenses of $176,829 (2007 - $147,475).

f) Related Party Transactions

3.        CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Company’s significant accounting policies are set out in Note 2 of its unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended May 31, 2008.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Management has identified (i) mineral property acquisition and exploration deferred costs (ii) provision for reclamation and closure, (iii) future income tax provision and (iv) stock based compensation as the main estimates for the following discussion. Please refer to Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for a description of all of the significant accounting policies.

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company defers all costs relating to the acquisition and exploration of its mineral properties. Any revenues received from such properties are credited against the costs of the property. When commercial production commences on any of the Company’s properties, any previously capitalized costs would be charged to operations using a unit-of-production method. The Company regularly reviews the carrying values of its properties to assess their recoverability and when the carrying value of a property exceeds the estimated net recoverable amount, provision is made for impairment in value.

The existence of uncertainties during the exploration stage and the lack of definitive empirical evidence with respect to the feasibility of successful commercial development of any exploration property does create measurement uncertainty concerning the estimate of the amount of impairment to the value of any mineral property. The Company relies on its own or independent estimates of further geological prospects of a particular property and also considers the likely proceeds from a sale or assignment of the rights before determining whether or not impairment in value has occurred.

Reclamation and closure costs have been estimated based on the Company’s interpretation of current regulatory requirements, however changes in regulatory requirements and new information may result in revisions to estimates. The Company recognizes the fair value of liabilities for reclamation and closure costs in the period in which they are incurred. A corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related assets is generally recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset.

The future income tax provision is based on the liability method. Future taxes arise from the recognition of the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted or substantively enacted tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those future income tax assets that it believes will, more likely than not, fail to be realized.

For its 2005 fiscal year, The Company adopted CICA Handbook Section 3870 – Stock-Based Compensation and other Stock-Based Payments, which requires the fair value method of accounting for stock options. Under this method, the Company is required to recognize a charge to the income statement based on an option-pricing model based on certain assumptions. For the period ended May 31, 2008 the assumptions were as follows; no dividends were paid, a weighted average volatility of the Company’s share price of 64.10%, a weighted average annual risk free rate of 4.10 per cent and an expected life of 3.31 years. The resulting weighted average option pricing resulted in an expense for stock options in the period ended May 31, 2008 of $993,022 (2007 - $1,395,866). Of the $993,022 in cost calculated for May 31, 2008 an amount of $638,034 was expensed while $354,988 was capitalized to deferred mineral property exploration costs.

In accordance with these new standards, the Company now classifies all financial instruments as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, held-for-trading, loans and receivables, or other financial liabilities. Financial assets held to maturity, loans and receivables and financial liabilities other than those held for trading, are measured at amortized cost. Available-for-sale instruments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Instruments classified as held for trading are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in the statement of operations. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Upon adoption of these new standards, the Company has designated its cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading, which are measured at fair value. Accounts receivable and other are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Restricted certificates of deposit are classified as held-to-maturity, and are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, property and mining taxes payable, convertible debentures, notes payable, and accrued site closure costs are classified as other liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost.”

4.        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s significant accounting policies are set out in Note 2 of its Consolidated Audited Financial Statements for the year ended August 31, 2007 as well as Note 2 of its unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the period ended May 31, 2008. There are several policies that are significant to the financial results of the Company.

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company defers all costs relating to the acquisition and exploration of its mineral properties. Any revenues received from such properties are credited against the costs of the property. When commercial production commences on any of the Company’s properties, any previously capitalized costs would be charged to operations over the life of the property using a unit-of-production method. The Company regularly reviews deferred exploration costs to assess their recoverability and when the carrying value of a property exceeds the estimated net recoverable amount, provision is made for impairment in value.

The existence of uncertainties during the exploration stage and the lack of definitive empirical evidence with respect to the feasibility of successful commercial development of any exploration property do create measurement uncertainty concerning the calculation of the amount of impairment to the value of any mineral property. The Company relies on its own or independent estimates of further geological prospects of a particular property and also considers the likely proceeds from a sale or assignment of the rights before determining whether or not impairment in value has occurred.

Future income taxes are calculated based on the liability method. Future income taxes arise from the recognition of the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted or substantively enacted tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those future income tax assets that it believes will, more likely than not, fail to be realized.

5.        ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Effective September 1, 2007, we have adopted CICA Handbook Sections 3855 Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement; Section 3861 Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation; Section 3865 Hedges; Section 1530 Comprehensive Income and Section 3251 Equity. As the Company has not previously undertaken hedging activities, adoption of Section 3865 currently has no impact. Prior to September 1, 2007, the principal accounting policies affecting financial instruments related to marketable securities that were valued at the lower of original cost and fair market value.

CICA Section 3855 requires that all financial assets, except those classified as held-to-maturity, and loans and receivables, must be measured at fair value. All financial liabilities must be measured at fair value when they are classified as held-for-trading; otherwise, they are measured at amortized cost. Investments classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair market value (or marked to market) based on quoted market prices with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income or loss. Those instruments classified as held-for-trading, have gains or losses included in earnings in the period in which they arise. All of the Company’s investments have been designated as available-for-sale.

Comprehensive income is the change in our net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sources other than our shareholders and includes items that would not normally be included in net earnings such as unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments. Other comprehensive income includes the unrealized gains and losses from available-for-sale securities which are not included in net income (loss) until realized.

The adoption of Sections 1530 and 3855 impacts our opening equity. The unrealized gain on the available-for-sale securities from purchase to August 31, 2007 was $1,874,001, which is reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated other comprehensive income. The net unrealized loss on the available-for-sale securities for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 was $370,000. There would be no tax impact resulting from adjustments arising from comprehensive income as there are sufficient unrecognized future tax benefits available to offset any future tax liability arising.

6.        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company issued a total of 1,603,500 (2007 – 7,035,069) common shares during the period. Of this 1,553,500 shares (2007 – 6,985,069) were issued for cash proceeds of $2,246,025 (2007 - $11,882,866). During the period 50,000 shares (2007 – 50,000) were issued for mineral properties for a fair value of $165,500 (2007 - $230,000). Cash proceeds are net of share issuances to be spent on mineral property acquisitions, exploration and development as well as for general working capital purposes. The Company’s primary source of capital has been from the sale of equity. At May 31, 2008 the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short term investments on hand of $5,575,866 compared to $14,486,241 at May 31, 2007.

The Company receives lump sum cash advances at various times as laid out in agreed budgets from its joint venture partners to cover the costs of the WBJV. The balance of cash outflows is made up of management fees and expenses of $443,865 (2007 - $524,197) and other general and administrative expenses of $3,224,131 (2007 - $2,419,562).

In the normal course of business the Company enters into transactions for the purchase of supplies and services denominated in South African Rand. The Company also has cash and certain liabilities denominated in South African Rand. As a result the Company is subject to foreign exchange risk from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. In the past year to the time of writing this report, the South African Rand has fallen in value against the Canadian Dollar by approximately 12%.

The following Table discloses the Company’s continual obligations for optional mineral property acquisition payments and committed office and equipment lease obligations. Apart from a possible buy-out of the War Springs and Tweespalk properties, the Company has no other property acquisition payments due to vendors under mineral property option agreements.  The Company has no long term debt or loan obligations. Under the terms of several of the Company’s mineral property option and purchase agreements, the Company is required to make certain scheduled acquisition payments as summarized in the table below in order to preserve the Company’s interests in the related mineral properties. In the event the Company is unable or unwilling to make these payments, it is likely that the Company would forfeit our rights to acquire the related properties.

Payments by period
Total		< 1 Year	1 – 3 Years	3 – 5 Years	> 5 Years
Optional Acquisition Payments War Springs & Tweespalk	$ 3,978,000	$ 3,978,000	$0	$ 0	$ 0
Lease Obligations	228,314	25,755	165,986	10,818	0
Totals	$ 4,206,314	$ 4,003,755	$165,986	$ 10,818	$0

In addition to the above the Company will be required to pay an equalizing amount under the terms of the WBJV agreement based on the measured, indicated and inferred 4E PGE ounces reported in a Feasibility Study. See item d) “Exploration Programs and Expenditures” above for details of how the equalizing payment will be calculated.

7.        OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

The Company has an unlimited number of common shares authorized for issuance without par value. At July 7, 2008 there were 62,592,247 shares outstanding, 3,994,375 incentive stock options outstanding and no common share purchase warrants outstanding.

8.        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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian Securities Administration requirements are recorded, processed, summarized and reported in the manner specified by the relevant securities laws applicable to the Company. The Company operates in both Canada and the Republic of South Africa and work is ongoing to improve and modernize these controls and to ensure that they remain consistently applied in both jurisdictions. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure control procedures as of May 31, 2008 through inquiry, review, and testing, as well as by drawing upon their own relevant experience. The Company retained an independent third party specialist in 2007 to assist in the assessment of its disclosure control procedures. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as at May 31, 2008, the Company’s disclosure control procedures were effective. Management is also developing and implementing a plan to address disclosure controls and procedures on a forward looking basis as the Company continues to grow.

The Company also maintains a system of internal controls over financial reporting designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with Canadian GAAP. The Company retained an independent third party specialist in 2007 to assist in the assessment of its internal control procedures. The Board of Directors approves the financial statements and ensures that management discharges its financial responsibilities. The Board’s review is accomplished principally through the audit committee, which is composed of independent non-executive directors.

The audit committee meets periodically with management and auditors to review financial reporting and control matters. The Board of Directors has also appointed a compensation committee composed of non-executive directors whose recommendations are followed with regard to executive compensation.

From time to time the board may also form special sub-committees, which must investigate and report to the Board on specific topics.

During the year ended August 31, 2007, the Company effected the changes in internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or may materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company has (i) taken steps to improve segregation of duties and the authorization process through the addition of accounting personnel; and (ii) reviewed and refined internal control processes; and (iii) adopted and published new corporate governance policies; and (iv) reviewed and improved general controls over information technology; and (v) enhanced financial control over period close processes. During the period ended May 31, 2008 there were no significant changes with regard to internal controls.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, and evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as at each fiscal year end. Management has used the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as at May 31, 2008. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that as at May 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

9.        AMEX CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company’s common shares are listed on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”). Section 110 of the AMEX company guide permits AMEX to consider the laws, customs and practices of foreign issuers in relaxing certain AMEX listing criteria, and to grant exemptions from AMEX listing criteria based on these considerations. A company seeking relief under these provisions is required to provide written certification from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by home country law. A description of the significant ways in which the Company’s governance practices differ from those followed by domestic companies pursuant to AMEX standards is posted on the Company’s website at www.platinumgroupmetals.net and a copy of such description is available by written request made to the Company.

News Release No. 08-160 July 15, 2008

Platinum Group Reports Third Quarter Financial Results

(Vancouver/Johannesburg) Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (PTM-TSX; PLG-AMEX) (“Platinum Group”) announces the publication of the Company’s unaudited financial results for the quarter ended May 31, 2008. For complete details of the May 31, 2008 financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis please see the Company’s filings on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) or on EDGAR (www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/webusers.htm).

The Company’s key project is its 37% interest in the Western Bushveld Joint Venture (“WBJV”), a platinum exploration and development project on combined mineral rights covering approximately 72 square kilometres on the Western Bushveld Complex of South Africa.

The Company’s cash position consisting of cash and short term investments at May 31, 2008 was $5.6 million.  The Company’s cash is held in a current account. The Company also held marketable securities at quarter end with a market value of $1.7 million. All amounts herein are reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. None of the Company’s cash has been invested in asset backed commercial paper.

Accounts receivable at quarter end totalled $679,145. An additional amount of $1,686,012 was due from WBJV partners and this amount was received subsequent to the end of the period.  Accounts payable amounted to $2.84 million.  Accounts receivable were comprised primarily of value added taxes repayable to the Company in Canada and in South Africa while accounts payable were due mostly for drilling, sampling, geophysical and engineering work conducted on the WBJV.

Global exploration expenditures for the Company’s account for the nine months, including the Company’s share of WBJV expenditures, totaled $6,545,212 (2007 - $2,737,018). Of this amount $6,069,729 was for the WBJV (2007 - $2,266,519) and $475,483 was for other exploration (2007 - $470,499). After meeting its earn in requirements in April 2006, Platinum Group is currently responsible for its 37% pro-rata share of expenditures for the WBJV. Total WBJV expenditures during the nine month period by all Joint Venture partners totaled $15,771,419 (2007 - $6,415,630).

As Operator the Company delivered a Positive Feasibility Study for Project 1 of the WBJV to the partners on July 1, 2008.  Summary results of the study were published in a news release by the Company dated July 7, 2008.  The feasibility study will be used for a project build decision and if implemented the Company would then need to complete project financing for its share of capital costs and expand its capabilities as operator. Permit applications are in process.  The partners of the WBJV will have 90 days, until approximately early October 2008, to consider the findings of the study, at which time they will be asked to consider a decision to mine.

The Company’s loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2008 amounted to $3.9 million or $0.06 per share as compared to $5.4 million or $0.09 per share for the prior year’s nine months ended May 31, 2007. The current loss includes $638,034 as a non-cash charge for Stock Based Compensation (2007 - $1,395,866). The loss for the same period in 2007 included a charge for the write-off of Canadian mineral property acquisition and deferred exploration costs of $1.32 million. General overhead and administration costs for the period, not including non-cash items, amounted to $3.45 million (2007 - $2.65 million) after interest income earned of $220,943 (2007 - $297,618). The increase in general and administrative costs in the quarter is primarily the result of the Company’s increased activity level in South Africa and increased staffing levels as the Company prepares for project development in South Africa.

During the nine months the Company raised funding of $2,246,025 by issuance of 703,500 shares for the exercise of stock options and 850,000 shares for the exercise of share purchase warrants.

During the current interim period, the Company identified that it had recorded stock based compensation of $803,000 in the third quarter of 2007 that should have been recorded in the second quarter of 2007.  The Company has restated its interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows for the three months ended May 31, 2007.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Canadian and U.S. securities laws. Such statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the timing of future activities by the Company, future anticipated exploration and development programs, the review of technical information, the discovery and delineation of mineral deposit and resources, business plans, potential mining scenarios, business trends and future operating factors. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as: believe, expect, anticipate, intend, estimate, postulate and similar expressions, or are those, which, by their nature, refer to future events. All statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements by the Company are not guarantees of future results or performance, and that actual results may differ materially from those in forward looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, variations in the nature, quality and quantity of any mineral deposits that may be located, the Company’s ability to obtain any necessary permits, consents or authorizations required for its activities, the Company’s ability to produce minerals from its properties successfully or profitably, to continue its projected growth, or to be fully able to implement its business strategies. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, including that data is incomplete and considerable additional work will be required to complete further evaluation, including but not limited to drilling, engineering and socio-economic studies and investment;  no firm quotes for costs have been received;  the legal right to mine the project discussed has not been confirmed or applied for and the process for such application is new in South Africa; the potential capital cost of the project is beyond the current means of the Company and there can be no assurance that financing for further work will be available. There are significant risks with respect to grade estimation, metallurgical recovery and mining plans that may result in over estimation or failure to meet targets. Availability of grid electrical power is completely outside the company control. Any estimates, plans or studies prepared by or on behalf of other companies with respect to the project have not been prepared or reviewed by the Company or the Company’s QPs and such disclosure can’t and should not be in any way be attributed to the Company or the Company’s QPs, independent or non-independent. The reader is referred to the Company’s filings with the SEC and Canadian securities regulators for disclosure regarding other risk factors. There is no certainty that any forward looking statement will come to pass and investors should not place undue reliance upon forward-looking statements. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. We use certain terms in our disclosure, such as “Measured,” “Indicated,” and “Inferred,” “resources,” that the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC.

U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 40-F, File No. 0-30306, which may be secured from us, or from the SEC’s website at: http://sec.gov/edgar.shtml. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
