COMPANY UPDATE

(Vancouver/Johannesburg) Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (PTM-TSX; PLG-NYSE Amex) (“Platinum Group” or the “Company”) provides the following corporate and project update, including key milestones for the months ahead.

On June 16th, 2009 the Company completed a $35M unit offering with solid support from existing and new institutional shareholders. The Company is now in a strong position to achieve its key objectives and maximize the value of its projects, including an optimized Feasibility Study for its Western Bushveld Platinum Mine. The Company’s current working capital position is approximately C$37M.

Since the publication of its Definitive Feasibility Study on Project 1 in July 2008 several key parameters have changed including contractor, raw material and other input costs. As a result an Optimized Feasibility Study (“OFS”) has commenced with Turnberry Projects, Wardrop (A Tetra Tech Company), and Grinaker LTA retained to enhance and independently evaluate engineering work completed by the Company over the past several months.

The OFS is expected to result in improved project economics from various factors, including:

·

lower pre-production capital expenditure estimates;

·

increased mineral reserves; and

·

updated operating and power availability assumptions.

The target date for completion of the OFS is Q3 2009.  Limited drilling will be undertaken in the area of Projects 1 and 3 with an objective to increase known mineral reserves and resources for inclusion in the project mine plan for the OFS.  Areas in the inferred category not included in the July 2008 project mine plan and areas that were excluded for other technical reasons will be considered for potential production rate increases.  

During the OFS process the Company will prepare a detailed implementation plan including scheduling with the key contractors and potential suppliers of the initial underground development, water and power. These preparations will be aimed at shortening project lead times while at the same time increasing confidence levels prior to a formal construction decision.

While work progresses on the OFS, the Company will also work on the establishment of farm out arrangements with funding partners on its early stage projects.  In March 2009 the Company entered into one such agreement with the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (“JOGMEC”) whereby JOGMEC may earn a 35% interest in the Company’s War Springs Project for an optional US$10 million in exploration work over a 5 year term. Work funded by JOGMEC is currently underway at War Springs.

Strategic Alternatives:

The Company is considering several strategic and financial alternatives in order to maximize shareholder value from its key projects in South Africa. The Company has several alternatives in active discussions and work related to the OFS will assist in these strategic discussions and decisions.
