Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
Re: | Registration Statement on Form F-3 of Platinum Group Metals Ltd. |
We have acted as Canadian counsel to Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (the “Company”), a company existing under the laws of British Columbia, in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of up to 14,448,407 common shares in the authorized share structure of the Company (the “Shares”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-231964) (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company on June 5, 2019 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the prospectus included in the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”), and the prospectus supplement related to the Shares filed by the Company on February 5, 2021 with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) promulgated under the Securities Act (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”). |
The offer and sale of the Shares is being made pursuant to that certain at-the-market equity distribution agreement between the Company and BMO Capital Markets Corp. (the “Distribution Agreement”), dated as of February 5, 2021. |
In connection with giving this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and the Prospectus. We have also examined originals, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such public and corporate records, certificates, instruments and other documents as we have considered necessary in order to express the opinion set out below. With respect to the accuracy of factual matters material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents and representations of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company. |
In giving this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction. We have also considered such questions of law as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. |
The opinion expressed herein is limited to matters governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein. |
Based and relying upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the offer and sale of the Shares has been duly authorized by the Company and, when the Shares are issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the authorized share structure of the Company. |
