Platinum Group Metals Ltd.

Consolidated Financial Statements

(all amounts in thousands of United States Dollars unless otherwise noted) For the year ended August 31, 2020

Filed: November 25, 2020

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Platinum Group Metals Ltd.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Platinum Group Metals Ltd. and its subsidiaries (together, the Company) as of August 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2020, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2020 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Substantial Doubt About the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, negative working capital and has significant amounts of debt payable without any current source of operating income which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

"PwC" refers to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an Ontario limited liability partnership.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (the "Company") is a British Columbia, Canada, company formed by amalgamation on February 18, 2002. The Company's shares are publicly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") in Canada and the NYSE American LLC ("NYSE American") in the United States (formerly the NYSE MKT LLC). The Company's address is Suite 838-1100 Melville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4A6.

The Company is an exploration and development company conducting work on mineral properties it has staked or acquired by way of option agreements in the Republic of South Africa.

These financial statements consolidate the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company's subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures (collectively with the Company, the "Group") as at August 31,

  1. The Company controls and consolidates Mnombo Wethu Consultants (Pty) Limited ("Mnombo") and Waterberg JV Resources (Pty) Ltd. ("Waterberg JV Co.") for accounting purposes.
  2. Effective ownership of Waterberg JV Co. is 63.05% when Mnombo's ownership portion is combined with Platinum Group Metals (RSA) (Pty) Ltd. ("PTM RSA") ownership portion.
  3. Lion Battery Technologies is accounted for using the equity method as the Company jointly controls the investee despite having the majority of the shares.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to a going concern which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course as they come due for the foreseeable future. During the year the Company incurred a loss of $7.1 million and used cash in operating activities of $3.1 million. The Company had a working capital deficit of $2.4 million at August 31, 2020 and was also indebted $20 million pursuant to the Sprott Loan Facility (as defined below). This debt is due August 14, 2021 with the Company holding the option to extend the maturity date by one year in exchange for a payment in common shares or cash of three percent of the outstanding principal amount. Additional payments/interest are also due on the convertible debt. The Company currently has limited financial resources and has no sources of operating income at present. Subsequent to year end the Company has completed a private placement for $2.5 million and through an At-The-Market Offering has raised a further $10 million. Please see Note 19 Subsequent Events for further details.

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. The contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.

The Company's ability to continue operations in the normal course of business will therefore depend upon its ability to secure additional funding by methods that could include debt refinancing, equity financing, the sale of assets and strategic partnerships. Management believes the Company will be able to secure further funding as required although there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful. Nonetheless, there exist material uncertainties resulting in substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue to meet its obligations as they come due and hence, the ultimate appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.

These consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments or disclosures that may result should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption were not

6

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be required to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the expenses, the reported comprehensive loss and balance sheet classifications used that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. These adjustments could be material.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management and are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. The Company has consistently applied the accounting policies used in the preparation of its IFRS financial statements throughout all years presented, as if these policies had always been in effect except for the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases, ("IFRS 16") effective for the 2020 fiscal year.

a. Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include those of the Company, its subsidiaries, joint ventures and structured entities that it controls, using uniform accounting policies. Control exists when the Company has (i) power over the investee, (ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (iii) the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Company's equity.

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

b. Translation of foreign currencies

Functional currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company and each of the Company's subsidiaries and equity accounted investees are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency) as follows:

Platinum Group Metals Ltd.

Canadian Dollars

Lion Battery Technologies Inc.

United States Dollars

Platinum Group Metals (RSA) (Pty) Ltd.

South African Rand

Mnombo Wethu Consultants (Pty) Limited

South African Rand

Waterberg JV Resources (Pty) Ltd

South African Rand

Presentation Currency

The Company's presentation currency is the United States Dollar ("USD")

Foreign Exchange Rates Used

The following exchange rates were used when preparing these consolidated financial statements:

7

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

Rand/USD

Year-end rate:

R16.8916 (2019 R15.2099)

Year average rate:

R16.0676 (2019 R14.3314)

CAD/USD

Year-end rate:

C$1.3042 (2019 C$1.3295)

Year average rate:

C$1.3458 (2019 C$1.3255)

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the relevant entity's functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement.

Subsidiaries

The results and financial position of subsidiaries that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

    • Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date;
    • Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
    • All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income as cumulative translation adjustments.
  1. Joint Arrangements

The Company treats its investment in Lion Battery Technologies Inc. as a joint venture. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control have rights to the net assets. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

d. Change in ownership interests

The Company treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interest in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration received is recognized in a separate line in retained earnings.

e. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, which are readily convertible to cash and have original maturities of 90 days or less.

  1. Exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation activity involves the search for mineral resources, the determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource.

Exploration and evaluation activity includes:

  • acquiring the rights to explore;
  • researching and analyzing historical exploration data;
  • gathering exploration data through topographical, geochemical and geophysical studies;
  • exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling;
  • determining and examining the volume and grade of the resource;
  • surveying transportation and infrastructure requirements; and

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

  • compiling pre-feasibility and feasibility studies.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures on identifiable properties are capitalized. Exploration and evaluation assets are shown separately until technical feasibility and commercial viability is achieved at which point the relevant asset is transferred to development assets under property, plant and equipment. Capitalized costs are all considered to be tangible assets as they form part of the underlying mineral property.

Capitalized exploration and evaluation assets are reviewed for impairment when facts or circumstances suggest an asset's carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount and when the exploration and evaluation assets are transferred to development assets. If impairment is considered to exist, the related asset is written down to the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell.

  1. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes the purchase price or construction cost, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use, an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, and for qualifying assets, the associated borrowing costs.

Where an item of property, plant and equipment is comprised of major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

Once a mining project has been established as technically feasible and commercially viable, expenditure other than on land, buildings, plant and equipment is capitalised as part of "development assets" together with any related amount transferred from "exploration and evaluation assets". Capitalization of costs incurred ceases when the property is capable of operating at levels intended by management.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be reliably measured. All repairs and maintenance are expensed to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal, retirement or scrapping of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Property plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following periods:

Vehicles

3-5 years

Computer Equipment and software

3-5 years

Furniture and Fixtures

5 years

  1. Impairment

Tangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The Company conducts internal reviews of asset values which are used to assess for any indications of impairment. External factors such as changes in expected future prices, costs and other market factors including market capitalization are also monitored to assess for indications of impairment.

If any such indication exists an estimate of the recoverable amount is undertaken, being the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If the asset's carrying amount exceeds its

9

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

recoverable amount, then an impairment loss is recognized.

Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. Fair value of mineral assets is generally determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the use of the asset, including any expansion prospects.

Value in use is determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset in its present form and from its ultimate disposal.

Tangible assets that have been impaired are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed. When a reversal of a previous impairment is recorded, the reversal amount is adjusted for depreciation that would have been recorded had the impairment not taken place.

  1. Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

  1. Convertible Notes

At inception the debt component of the convertible notes is deemed to be the residual value of the net proceeds after the fair value of the embedded derivatives are separated. The debt component is then measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The embedded derivatives are revalued at each reporting period with the change in fair value being recorded in profit or loss in each reporting period.

  1. Share Capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effect.

  1. Share-basedpayment transactions

Stock options

Stock options are settled in equity. The fair values for stock-based awards have been estimated using the Black-Scholes model and recorded as compensation cost over the period of vesting. The compensation cost related to stock options granted is expensed or capitalized to mineral properties, as applicable. Cash received on exercise of stock options is credited to share capital and the related amount previously recognized in contributed surplus is reclassified to share capital.

Restricted share units

Restricted share units ("RSU") represent an entitlement to one common share of the Corporation, upon vesting. RSUs provide the option of being settled in cash upon election by the Board of Directors. The fair value of RSUs granted is recognized as an expense over the vesting period and is measured at the time of grant.

Deferred share units

Deferred share units ("DSU's") are measured at fair value on grant date. The expense for DSU's is recognized over the vesting period. DSU liabilities are adjusted at each financial position reporting date

10

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

for changes in fair value. When the directors retire from all positions with the Company the DSU liability is settled in cash.

  1. Income taxes

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

Current tax expense is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from 'profit before tax' as reported in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

  1. Loss per common share

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

  1. Financial instruments

Classification

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss, at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss), or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and the debt's contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading

11

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

Measurement

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise.

Derecognition of Financial assets

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

  1. Accounting Standards Adopted

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The following new accounting standard was adopted by the Company during the year:

  1. IFRS 16, Leases
    In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, which is the customer ("lessee") and the supplier ("lessor"). IFRS 16 replaced IAS 17, Leases and related interpretations. Save for limited exceptions, all leases result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and, if lease payments are made over time, also obtaining financing. Accordingly, IFRS 16 eliminated the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as previously required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduced a single lessee accounting model. Applying that model, a lessee is required to recognize:
    1. Assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying assets is of low value; and
    2. Depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the statement of income.

The new standard became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. As the Company's year end is August 31st, the first effective year was fiscal 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company based on its leasing activity at September 1, 2019.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of judgments and estimates that affect the amount reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. These judgments and estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, having regard to previous experience, but actual results may differ materially from the amounts included in the financial statements. Information about such judgments and estimation is contained in the accounting policies and notes to the financial statements, and the key areas are summarized below.

Areas of judgment and key sources of estimation uncertainty that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these consolidated financial statements are:

  • Determination of ore reserves and mineral resource estimates
  • Fair value of embedded derivatives including convertible debt derivative
  • Assumption of control of Mnombo for accounting purposes

12

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

Each of these judgments and estimates is considered in their respective notes or in more detail below.

Fair value of embedded derivatives

Where the fair value of financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements cannot be derived from active markets, their fair value is determined using various other valuation techniques. Inputs to the estimation are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, an increased degree of estimation uncertainty arises when establishing fair values. The estimates include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible.

Determination of ore reserve and mineral resource estimates

The Company estimates its ore reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating ore reserves, and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation and they may change significantly when new information becomes available. Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may change the economic status of reserves and may, ultimately, result in reserves being restated.

Assumption of control of Mnombo and Waterberg JV Resources for accounting purposes

The Company has judged that it controls Mnombo for accounting purposes as it owns 49.9% of the outstanding shares of Mnombo and has contributed all material capital to Mnombo since acquiring its 49.9% share. Currently there are no other sources of funding known to be available to Mnombo. If in the future Mnombo is not deemed to be controlled by the Company, the assets and liabilities of Mnombo would be derecognized at their carrying amounts. Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income would be transferred directly to retained earnings. If a retained interest remained after the loss of control it would be recognized at its fair value on the date of loss of control. Although the Company controls Mnombo for accounting purposes, it does not have omnipotent knowledge of Mnombo's other shareholders activities. Mnombo's 50.1% shareholders are historically disadvantaged South Africans. The Company also determined that it controls Waterberg JV Resources given its control over Mnombo as well as its power over the investee.

4. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

Since mid-2015, the Company's only active exploration project has been the Waterberg Project located on the North Limb of the Western Bushveld Complex. Total capitalized exploration and evaluation expenditures for all exploration properties held by the Company are as follows:

Waterberg Project

At August 31, 2020 the Waterberg Project consisted of granted prospecting rights and an applied for mining right with a combined active project area of 81,329.60 ha, located on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex, approximately 85 km north of the town of Mokopane (formerly Potgietersrus). As of late October 2020, the Company is in process to apply for closure on one prospecting right located north of the known mineralized area, measuring 13,158.92 ha. The Waterberg Project comprises the former Waterberg JV Property and the Waterberg Extension Property.

On August 21, 2017, PTM RSA completed the cession of legal title for all Waterberg Project prospecting rights into Waterberg JV Co. after earlier receiving Section 11 approval of the 2nd Amendment (defined below). On September 21, 2017, Waterberg JV Co. also issued shares to all existing Waterberg partners pro rata to their joint venture interests, resulting in the Company holding a 45.65% direct interest in Waterberg JV Co., the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation ("JOGMEC") holding a 28.35% interest and Mnombo, as the Company's Black Economic Empowerment ("BEE") partner, holding 26%.

Implats Transaction

On November 6, 2017, the Company closed a transaction (the "Implats Transaction"), originally announced on October 16, 2017, whereby Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. ("Implats"):

  1. Purchased an aggregate 15.0% equity interest in Waterberg JV Co (the "Initial Purchase") for $30 million. The Company sold an 8.6% interest for $17.2 million and JOGMEC sold a 6.4% interest for $12.8 million. From its $17.2 million in proceeds, the Company committed $5.0 million towards its pro rata share of remaining Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") costs, which was held as restricted cash until it was fully spent in October 2018. Implats contributed its 15.0% pro rata share of DFS costs incurred subsequent to the Initial Purchase. Following the Initial Purchase, the Company held a direct 37.05% equity interest, JOGMEC held a 21.95% equity interest and Black Economic Empowerment partner Mnombo maintained a 26.0% equity interest. The Company holds a 49.9% interest in Mnombo, bringing its overall direct and indirect ownership in Waterberg JV Co. to 50.02%.
  2. Acquired a right of first refusal to enter into an offtake agreement, on commercial arms-length terms, for the smelting and refining of mineral products from the Waterberg Project ("Offtake ROFR"). JOGMEC or its nominee will retain a right to receive, at market prices, platinum, palladium, rhodium, gold, ruthenium, iridium, copper and nickel in refined mineral products at the volumes produced from the Waterberg Project.
  3. Acquired an option (the "Purchase and Development Option") whereby Implats had the right within 90 business days of the completion of the DFS to exercise an option to increase its interest to 50.01% in Waterberg JV Co by committing to purchase an additional 12.195% equity interest in Waterberg JV Co. from JOGMEC for $34.8 million and an expenditure of $130.2 million in development work. The DFS was completed and approved by Waterberg JV Co. on December 5, 2019. As per the February 27, 2020 amendment (see below) this deadline was amended to occur 90 days following the receipt of an executed Mining Right on the Waterberg Project.
  4. On February 27, 2020 the Company announced that shareholders of Waterberg JV Co had agreed to amend the Purchase and Development Option effective at February 1, 2020. The Purchase and Development Option was amended to expire 90 calendar days following the receipt of an executed Mining Right for the Waterberg Project. In exchange for this extension Impala agreed to fund 100% of a new implementation budget and work program, effective February 1, 2020, aimed at increasing confidence in specific areas of the DFS. At year end total Waterberg JV Co. expenditures recovered through this work program were $1,285.
    On June 15, 2020, Implats delivered a formal notice of their election not to exercise their Purchase and Development Option due to increased economic uncertainty and reduced risk appetite in the short, medium and long-term as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Implats will retain a 15.0% participating project interest and their Offtake ROFR and the Company will retain a controlling 50.02% direct and indirect interest in the project. Impala continued to be responsible for the costs of an implementation

budget and work program, as described above, until September 13, 2020. The Company remains the Manager of the Waterberg Project, as directed by the technical committee of the Waterberg JV Co.

Acquisition and Development of the Waterberg Project

In October 2009, PTM RSA, JOGMEC and Mnombo entered into a joint venture agreement with regard to the Waterberg Project (the "JOGMEC Agreement"). Under the terms of the JOGMEC Agreement, in April 2012, JOGMEC completed a $3.2 million work requirement to earn a 37% interest in the former Waterberg JV property, leaving the Company with a 37% interest and Mnombo with a 26% interest. Following JOGMEC's earn-in, the Company funded Mnombo's 26% share of costs, totalling $1.12 million, until the earn-in phase of the joint venture ended in May 2012.

On November 7, 2011, the Company entered an agreement with Mnombo to acquire 49.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Mnombo in exchange for a cash payment of R1.2 million and the Company's agreement to pay for Mnombo's 26% share of costs on the Waterberg JV property until the completion of a feasibility study. Mnombo's share of expenditures prior to this agreement, and Mnombo's share of expenditures post DFS, are still owed to the Company ($4.8 million at August 31, 2020). The portion of Mnombo not owned by the Company is accounted for as a non-controlling interest, calculated at $7.1 million at August 31, 2020 ($6.9 million - August 31, 2019).

On May 26, 2015, the Company announced a second amendment (the "2nd Amendment") to the existing JOGMEC Agreement. Under the terms of the 2nd Amendment the Waterberg JV and Waterberg Extension properties are to be combined and contributed into the newly created operating company Waterberg JV Co. On August 3, 2017, the Company received Section 11 transfer approval from the South African Department of Mineral Resources ("DMR") and title to all of the Waterberg prospecting rights held by the Company were ceded into Waterberg JV Co. on September 21, 2017.

Under the 2nd Amendment, JOGMEC committed to fund $20 million in expenditures over a three-year period ending March 31, 2018. This requirement was completed by $8 million in funding from JOGMEC to March 31, 2016, followed by two $6 million tranches funded by JOGMEC in each of the following two 12-month periods ending March 31, 2018.

To August 31, 2020 an aggregate total of $75.2million has been funded by all parties on exploration and engineering on the Waterberg Project. Up until the Waterberg property was transferred to Waterberg JV Company, all costs incurred by other parties were treated as cost recoveries by the Company.

5. LION BATTERY

On July 12, 2019 the Company and Anglo American Platinum Limited ("Amplats") entered into agreements to launch a new venture named Lion Battery Technologies Inc. ("Lion"). Lion was incorporated on June 17, 2019 to research new lithium battery technology utilizing platinum and palladium. The Company invested $4 as the original founder of Lion in exchange for 400,000 common shares of Lion at a price of $0.01 per share. On July 12, 2019 the Company and Amplats each invested $550 as a first tranche of funding into Lion in exchange for 1,100,000 Lion preferred shares each at a price of $0.50 per share. On August 21, 2020 the Company and Amplats each invested $350 as a second tranche of funding in exchange for 700,000 Lion preferred shares each at a price of $0.50 per shares. At August 31, 2020 the Company owned a 55% interest in Lion.

On July 12, 2019 Lion entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement ("SRA") with Florida International University ("FIU") to fund a $3.0 million research program over approximately three years. Both the Company and Amplats have agreed to equally invest up to an aggregate of $4.0 million into Lion, of which approximately $1.0 million would be for general and administrative expenses and the commercialization of the technology developed, subject to certain conditions. All funding into Lion by the Company or Amplats is to be in exchange for preferred shares of Lion at a price of $0.50 per share over an approximate three to four year period (see above paragraph). The Company accounts for Lion using equity accounting as Lion is jointly controlled with Amplats. Lion pays a fee of $3 per month to the Company for general and administrative services. As at August 31, 2020, Lion batteries has $34 (2019 - $54) in current assets and $22 (2019 - $26) in current liabilities and for the year ended August 31, 2020, loss from operations

15

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

and comprehensive loss is $716 (2019 - $1,076).

Research work commenced at FIU during September 2019. During calendar 2020 FIU completed the first milestone research requirements pursuant to the SRA, which triggered the second tranche of funding to Lion in August 2020 for an aggregate amount of $700, of which $667 was provided by Lion to FIU for continued research.

Under the agreement with FIU, Lion will have exclusive rights to all intellectual property developed and will lead all commercialization efforts. Lion is also currently reviewing several additional and complementary opportunities focused on developing next-generation battery technology using platinum and palladium.

  1. SPROTT LOAN
    On August 15, 2019 the Company announced it had entered into a credit agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP ("Sprott") and other lenders party thereto (the "Sprott Lenders") pursuant to which the Sprott Lenders advanced $20.0 million principal senior secured credit facility ("Sprott Facility"). The loan was immediately drawn and is due August 14, 2021, with the Company holding the option to extend the maturity date by one year in exchange for a payment in common shares or cash of three percent of the outstanding principal amount. All amounts outstanding will be charged interest of 11% per annum compounded monthly. Interest payments are made monthly with interest of $2,237 having been paid to Sprott during the year ended August 31, 2020 (August 31, 2019 - $73).
    The Company is required to maintain certain minimum working capital and cash balances under the Sprott loan and are in compliance with these covenants at period end.
    All fees directly attributable to the Sprott Facility are recorded against the loan balance and amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the loan. In connection with the advance the Company issued Sprott 800,000 common shares worth $1,000. Effective interest of $2,809 was recognized during the year ended August 31, 2020 (August 31, 2019 - $83).
    Subsequent to year end, the Company repaid a principal amount of $1.9 million to Sprott, reducing the principal amount outstanding to $18.1 million.
  2. CONVERTIBLE NOTES
    On June 30, 2017, the Company closed a private placement of $20 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior subordinated notes ("Convertible Notes") due 2022. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 6 7/8% per annum, payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2018, in cash or at the election of the Company, in common shares of the Company or a combination of cash and Common Shares, and will mature on July 1, 2022, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. An additional interest charge of 0.25% for the period January 1, 2018 to March 31, 2018, plus a further 0.25% for the period April 1, 2018 to July 1, 2018, was added to the coupon rate of the Convertible Notes at the Company's election to not file a prospectus and a registration statement for the Convertible Notes with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. After July 1, 2018, at which time the Convertible Notes became freely tradable by holders other than affiliates, the Convertible Notes once again bear interest at the coupon rate of 6 7/8% per annum.
    Upon maturity the Convertible Notes are to be settled by the Company in cash. The Convertible Notes are convertible at any time prior to maturity at the option of the holder, and conversion may be settled, at the Company's election, in cash, Common Shares, or a combination of cash and Common Shares. If any Convertible Notes are converted on or prior to the three and one half year anniversary of the issuance date, the holder of the Convertible Notes will also be entitled to receive an amount equal to the remaining interest payments on the converted notes to the three and one half year anniversary of the issuance date, discounted by 2%, payable in Common Shares. The initial conversion rate of the Convertible Notes was 1,001.1112 Common Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $0.9989 per Common Share, representing a conversion premium

16

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

of approximately 15% above the NYSE American closing sale price for the Company's Common Shares of $0.8686 per share on June 27, 2017. After giving effect to the December 13, 2018 share consolidation, the conversion rate is 100.1111 per US$1,000 which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $9.989 per common share.

The Convertible Notes contain multiple embedded derivatives (the "Convertible Note Derivatives") relating to the conversion and redemption options. The Convertible Note Derivatives were valued upon initial recognition at fair value using partial differential equation methods at $5,381 (see below). At inception, the debt portion of the Convertible Notes were reduced by the estimated fair value of the Convertible Note Derivatives of $5,381 and transaction costs relating to the Convertible Notes of $1,049 resulting in an opening balance of $13,570. The Convertible Notes are measured at amortized cost and will be accreted to maturity over the term using the effective interest method.

On January 2, 2018, the Company issued 244,063 common shares in settlement of $691 of bi-annual interest payable on $19.99 million of outstanding Convertible Notes.

On July 3, 2018, the Company issued 757,924 common shares in settlement of $724 of bi-annual interest payable on $19.99 million of outstanding Convertible Notes.

On January 2, 2019 the Company issued 545,721 common shares in settlement of $687 of bi-annual interest payable on $19.99 million of outstanding Convertible Notes.

On July 1, 2019 the Company paid $687 of bi-annual interest payable on outstanding Convertible Notes.

On January 2, 2020 the Company issued 517,468 common shares in settlement of $687 of bi-annual interest payable on $19.99 million of outstanding Convertible Notes.

On July 2, 2020 the Company issued 526,471 common shares in settlement of $687 of bi-annual interest payable on $19.99 million of outstanding Convertible Notes.

  1. Deferred Share Units
    The Company has established a DSU plan for non-executive directors. Each DSU has the same value as one Company common share. DSU's must be retained until the director leaves the Board of Directors, at which time the DSU's are paid.
    The DSU liability at August 31, 2020 was $509. During the year ended August 31, 2020 an expense of $387 was recorded in relation to the outstanding DSUs (August 31, 2019 - $113), with $245 recorded as share-based compensation (August 31, 2019, $63) and $142 recorded as director fees (August 31, 2019, $50). At August 31, 2020, 575,070 DSUs have been issued with 93,928 having been cancelled during the year. 163,220 DSU's had vested as at August 31, 2020.
  2. Restricted Share Units
    The Company has established an RSU plan for certain employees of the Company. Each RSU has the

19

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

same value as one Company common share. RSU's vest over a three year period.

The RSU liability at August 31, 2020 was $447. During the year ended August 31, 2020 an expense of $343 was recorded ($292 expensed and $51 capitalized) in relation to the outstanding RSUs, (August 31, 2019 $102, $86 expensed, $15 capitalized). At August 31, 2020, 393,897 RSU's have been issued with 74,473 vested. Subsequent to year end a total of 42,629 vested RSUs have been redeemed by holders.

  1. WARRANT DERIVATIVE
    The exercise price of the Company's outstanding warrants was denominated in US Dollars; however, the functional currency of PTM Canada (the warrant issuer) is the Canadian Dollar. The warrants were required to be recognized and measured at fair value at each reporting period. Any changes in fair value from period to period were recorded as non-cash gain or loss in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
    The warrants were issued May 15, 2018 and were initially valued using the residual value method. An initial valuation of $1,171 was attributed to the warrants, which included $157 of unit issuance costs being attributed to the value of the warrants. As the warrants were publicly traded on the TSX, the value of the warrants at each period was estimated by using the warrant TSX closing price on the last day of trading in the applicable period. The warrants expired November 22, 2019 with a $Nil value. The $3,046 value attributed to the remaining warrants, which expired, was recognized as a gain during the year ended August 31, 2020 (August 31, 2019 - $2,605 loss). When combined with the gain on the embedded derivatives in the Convertible Notes (see Note 7) this results in a gain of $3,203 on derivatives.

Africa Wide Legal Action

In April 2018 the Company completed a transaction whereby Maseve Investments 11 (Pty) Ltd. ("Maseve") was acquired (the "Maseve Sale Transaction") by Royal Bafokeng Platinum Ltd. ("RBPlats"). Maseve owned and operated the Maseve Mine. In September 2018 the Company reported receipt of a summons issued by Africa Wide Mineral Prospecting and Exploration Proprietary Limited ("Africa Wide") whereby Africa Wide instituted legal proceedings in South Africa against PTM RSA, RBPlats and Maseve in relation to the Maseve Sale Transaction. Africa Wide held 17.1% of the shares in Maseve prior to completion of the Maseve Sale Transaction. Africa Wide is seeking, at this late date, to set aside or be paid increased value for, the closed Maseve Sale Transaction. RBPlats consulted with senior counsel, both during the negotiation of the Maseve Sale Transaction and in regard to the current Africa Wide legal proceedings. The Company has received legal advice to the effect that the Africa Wide action, as issued, is ill-conceived and is factually and legally defective.

Tax Audit South Africa

For the 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, PTM RSA claimed unrealized foreign exchange losses as income tax deductions in its South African corporate tax returns in the amount of Rand 1.4 billion. The exchange losses emanate from a Canadian dollar denominated shareholder loan advanced to PTM RSA.

21

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

Under applicable South African tax legislation, exchange losses can be claimed if the shareholder loan is a current liability as determined by IFRS. For the years in question, the intercompany debt was classified as current in PTM RSA's stand alone audited financial statements.

During 2018, the South African Revenue Service ("SARS") conducted an income tax audit of the 2014 to 2016 years of assessment and issued PTM RSA with a letter of audit findings on November 5, 2018 proposing that the exchange losses be disallowed on the basis that the shareholder loan was not a current liability.

The Company and its advisors responded to SARS during 2019 and refuted the issues raised.

On June 30, 2020 the Company received a letter from SARS reporting the finalization of the above income tax audit with no reassessment or adjustment to the Company's tax returns for the three years audited.

Brokerage Fees Payable

There were certain deferred brokerage fees related to the Maseve Sale Transaction and the Implats Transaction that became payable as soon as practicable after the Company repaid a $40 million secured loan facility due to LMM (the "LMM Facility"). The outstanding fee amount payable of $2,890 was reclassified to current liabilities after repayment of the LMM Facility on August 21, 2019. Subsequent to year end an amount of $1.4 million was paid against the outstanding fee amount payable, reducing the aggregate balance due to $1.5 million.

16. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's objectives in managing its liquidity and capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and provide financial capacity to meet its strategic objectives. The capital structure of the Company consists of share capital, contributed surplus, accumulated other comprehensive loss and accumulated deficit.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets.

In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company regularly updates the Board of

23

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

Directors with regard to budgets, forecasts, results of capital deployment and general industry conditions. The Company does not currently declare or pay out dividends.

As at August 31, 2020, the Company is subject to externally imposed capital requirements under the Sprott Facility. Please see Note 6 for further details.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company examines the various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of occurrence. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risks.

  1. Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the risk that the financial asset counterparty, may default or not meet its obligations timeously. The Company minimizes credit risk by monitoring the reliability of counterparties to settle assets. The maximum exposure to the credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of all the financial assets. There is no material concentration of credit risk in cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and loans.

  1. Cash

In order to manage credit and liquidity risk the Company holds cash only with Canadian chartered and South African banks.

  1. Performance Bonds

In order to explore and develop its properties in South Africa, the Company was required to post performance bonds as financial guarantees against future reclamation work. These funds are held with Standard Bank of South Africa Limited with the DMR as beneficiary in accordance with the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (the "MPRDA") and the Company's environmental management programme.

  1. Liquidity risk

The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements and its exploration and development plans. The Company regularly updates the Board of Directors with regard to budgets, forecasts, results of capital deployment and general industry conditions.

The Company may be required to source additional financing by way of private or public offerings of equity or debt or the sale of project or property interests in order to have sufficient cash to make debt repayments and working capital for continued exploration on the Waterberg Projects, as well as for general working capital purposes.

Any failure by the Company to obtain additional required financing on acceptable terms could cause the Company to delay development of its material projects or could result in the Company being forced to sell some of its assets on an untimely or unfavourable basis. Any such delay or sale could have a material and adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Also refer to Note 1 for discussion of going concern risk.

  1. Currency risk

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar, while the consolidated presentation currency is the United States Dollar. The functional currency of all South African subsidiaries is the Rand, while the functional currency of Lion Battery Technology Inc. is the US Dollar. The Company's operations are in both Canada and South Africa; therefore, the Company's results are impacted by fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies in relation to the Rand and Canadian and United States dollars. The Company's significant foreign currency exposures on financial instruments comprise cash, loans payable, warrants, convertible notes, accounts

24

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of United States Dollars except share and per share data)

payable and accrued liabilities. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through the following financial instruments denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars:

The Company's comprehensive loss is affected by changes in the exchange rate between its operating currencies and the United States dollar. At August 31, 2020, based on this exposure a 10% strengthening/weakening in the United States dollar versus Rand foreign exchange rate and Canadian dollar would give rise to a decrease/increase in comprehensive loss for the year presented of approximately $3.5 million, (August 31, 2019 - $3.4 million).

  1. Interest rate risk

The Company's interest income earned on cash and on short term investments is exposed to interest rate risk. At August 31, 2020, based on this exposure a 1% change in the average interest rate would give rise to an increase/decrease in the net loss for the year of approximately $12.

At August 31, 2020, the carrying amounts of cash, amounts receivable, performance bonds and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

18. INCOME TAXES

The income taxes shown in the consolidated earnings differ from the amounts obtained by applying statutory rates to the earnings before provision for income taxes due to the following:

LEGISLATION AND MINING CHARTER

The MPRDA, the Mining Charter 2018 and related regulations in South Africa require that Waterberg JV Co.'s Black Economic Empowerment ("BEE") shareholders own a 26% equity interest in Waterberg JV Co. to qualify for the grant of a mining right. Within 5 years of the effective date of the mining right, this BEE shareholding must be increased to 30%. The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy ("DMR") had obtained an exemption from applying the Generic BEE Codes under the BEE Act until October 31, 2016 and had applied for a further extension until December 31, 2016. While this exemption was extended to December 31, 2016, no further exemption was obtained thereafter, and, as a matter of law, the Generic BEE Codes now apply to the issuance and maintenance of licenses and other authorizations. As a matter of practice, the DMR has continued to apply the provisions of Mining Charter 2018 rather than the Generic BEE Codes.

For a comprehensive discussion of Mining Charter 2018, please refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended August 31, 2020 ("the 2020 20-F"), which was also filed as the Company's form of AIF for 2020, as well as in the documents incorporated by reference therein. The 2020 20-F may be found on EDGAR at www.sec.govand the AIF may be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

MINERAL RESERVES AND RESOURCES

The mineral resource and mineral reserve figures referred to in this MD&A and the documents incorporated herein by reference are estimates and no assurances can be given that the indicated levels of platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold (collectively referred to as "4E") will be produced. Such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available. By their nature, mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates are imprecise and depend, to a certain extent, upon statistical inferences which may ultimately prove unreliable. Any inaccuracy or future reduction in such estimates could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS REGARDING RESERVE AND RESOURCE ESTIMATES:

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

On October 31, 2018, the SEC adopted a final rule ("New Final Rule") that will replace Industry Guide 7 with new disclosure requirements that are more closely aligned with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including NI 43-101. Companies must comply with the New Final Rule for the company's first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021, which for Platinum Group would be the fiscal year beginning September 1, 2021. While early voluntary compliance with the New Final Rule will be permitted, Platinum Group has not elected to comply with the New Final Rule at this time.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS OVERVIEW

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

The Company's main business is currently focused on the exploration and development engineering of the Waterberg Project, which was discovered in 2011 as the result of a regional exploration initiative by the Company targeting a previously unknown extension to the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa. The project area is now comprised of two adjacent property areas formerly known as the Waterberg joint venture project (the "Waterberg JV Project") and the Waterberg extension project (the "Waterberg Extension Project").

On November 6, 2017, the Company, along with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation ("JOGMEC") and Mnombo closed a strategic transaction to sell Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. ("Implats") 15% of the Waterberg Project for $30 million (the "Implats Transaction"). The Company sold an 8.6% interest for $17.2 million and JOGMEC sold a 6.4% interest for $12.8 million. Implats also acquired an option (the "Purchase and Development Option") within 90 days of the completion and approval of a definitive feasibility study by Waterberg JV Co. to increase its stake to 50.01% through additional share purchases from JOGMEC for an amount of $34.8 million and earn-in arrangements for $130 million to fund development work on the Waterberg Project, as well as a right of first refusal to smelt and refine Waterberg concentrate (the "Offtake ROFR"). JOGMEC, or their nominee retained a right to receive platinum, palladium, rhodium, gold, ruthenium, iridium, copper and nickel refined mineral products at the volumes produced from the Waterberg Project. The Company received $17.2 million for its sale of an 8.6% project interest to Implats. See details below.

On September 24, 2019, the Company published the results of the Definitive Feasibility Study for the Waterberg Project (the "Waterberg DFS") and it was approved by all Waterberg JV Co. shareholders on December 5, 2019. On October 7, 2019 the Waterberg DFS technical report entitled "Independent Technical Report, Waterberg Project Definitive Feasibility Study and Mineral Resource Update, Bushveld Complex, South Africa" (the "DFS Technical Report") was filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.comand on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. The DFS Technical Report is dated October 3, 2019 and was prepared by Michael Murphy, P. Eng. of Stantec Consulting Ltd., Charles J Muller, B. Sc. (Hons) Geology, Pri. Sci. Nat. of CJM Consulting (Pty) Ltd., and Gordon I Cunningham, B. Eng. (Chemical), Pr. Eng., FSAIMM of Turnberry Projects (Pty) Ltd. DRA Projects SA (Pty) Ltd., an experienced South African engineering and EPCM firm, provided the plant design and compiled the capital cost estimates for the project qualified persons. The DFS Technical Report also supports the disclosure of an updated independent mineral resource estimate effective September 4, 2019.

After the approval of the Waterberg DFS by Waterberg JV Co. shareholders on December 5, 2019, Implats had 90 business days (until April 17, 2020) to elect whether to exercise the Purchase and Development Option. The Purchase and Development Option was formally modified by the execution of an amending agreement on March 31, 2020 (the "Implats

6

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

(An Exploration and Development Stage Company) Supplementary Information and MD&A

For the year ended August 31, 2020

Option Amendment") wherein the deadline for Implats to exercise the Purchase and Development Option was extended to 90 days after the grant of a Mining Right. In exchange for the extension Implats agreed to fund 100% of an optimization budget and work program (the "2020 Work Program") beginning February 1, 2020. The 2020 Work Program, as approved by Waterberg JV Co., was aimed at increasing confidence in specific areas of the Waterberg DFS while awaiting the expected grant of a Mining Right and Environmental Authorization and was budgeted to cost approximately R55 million (US$4 million when announced). Except for budgeted geotechnical drilling, which could not be carried out before the grant of a Mining Right, the 2020 Work Program was completed at a cost of approximately $1.46 million on September 15, 2020.

On June 15, 2020 Implats delivered a formal notice that they did not intend to exercise their Purchase and Development Option to acquire and earn into a 50.01% interest in the Waterberg Project. Impala reported that notwithstanding the positive progress achieved to date, and the strategic alignment between the Waterberg Project and Implats stated portfolio objectives, the unprecedented events brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated Implats management and Board to re-evaluate the impact of the increased economic uncertainty on Implats' strategy and risk appetite in the short, medium and long term. Implats reiterated their support of both the Waterberg Project and the JV Partners and plans to remain an active participant, including funding of their share of costs, subject to future considerations.

Implats retains a 15.0% participating project interest and their Offtake ROFR and the Company retains a controlling 50.02% direct and indirect interest in the project. The Company remains the Manager of the Waterberg Project, as directed by the technical committee of the Waterberg JV Co.

LION BATTERY TECHNOLOGIES INC.

On July 11, 2019, the Company, together with an affiliate of Anglo American Platinum Limited ("AAP"), launched a new venture through a jointly owned company, Lion Battery Technologies Inc. ("Lion") to accelerate the development of next generation battery technology using platinum and palladium. AAP and the Company have agreed together to invest up to a total of $4.0 million, subject to certain conditions, in exchange for preferred shares of Lion at a price of $0.50 per share over approximately a three to four year period. AAP and the Company have each invested an initial $550,000 into Lion in exchange for 1,100,000 preferred shares, while in June 2020 the Company and AAP invested a further $350,000 each into Lion in exchange for 700,000 preferred shares. The Company also invested $4,000 as the original founder's round into Lion in exchange for 400,000 common shares at a price of $0.01 per share.

Lion entered into an agreement (the "Sponsored Research Agreement") with Florida International University ("FIU") to fund a $3.0 million research program over approximately a three year period utilizing platinum and palladium to unlock the potential of Lithium Air and Lithium Sulphur battery chemistries to increase their discharge capacities and cyclability. Under the Sponsored Research Agreement, Lion will have exclusive rights to all intellectual property developed and will lead all commercialization efforts. Lion is to advance funding to FIU in four tranches. The first tranche, totaling $1.0 million plus a one-time fee of $50,000, was funded by Lion in mid July 2019, with a second tranche of $666,667 funded in June 2020 after FIU had reasonably completed a first set of specific research milestones. Two subsequent tranches of $666,667 each will be funded approximately every six to nine months based on the attainment of research milestones by FIU. Research work commenced at FIU during September 2019. Investment into Lion by AAP and the Company in excess of the $3.05 million earmarked for FIU is to be utilized by Lion for general and administrative costs and for future commercialization efforts by Lion. If the Company should fail to contribute its share of a required subscription to Lion, it would be in breach of its agreement with Lion and its interest in Lion may be subject to dilution.

In September 2020, the Company reported that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office had issued Patent No. 10,734,636 B2 entitled "Battery Cathodes for Improved Stability" to FIU. Under the Sponsored Research Agreement, Lion has exclusive rights to all technology being developed by FIU with Lion's funding, including patents granted. The patent includes the use of platinum group metals and carbon nanotubes and other innovations in a lithium battery.

In addition to the above personnel, there are two persons whose employment with the Company ended by mutual agreement on May 31, 2020 that are temporarily serving as consultants at the Johannesburg office until December 31, 2020.

2. PROPERTIES

Under IFRS, the Company defers all acquisition, exploration and development costs related to mineral properties. The recoverability of these amounts is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of the property, and any future profitable production, or alternatively upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its property interests on a regular basis. Management is required to make significant judgements to identify potential impairment indicators. Any properties management deems to be impaired are written down to their estimated net recoverable amount.

For more information on mineral properties, see below and Note 3 of the Company's August 31, 2020 consolidated financial statements.

MATERIAL MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS

Waterberg Project

Recent Activities

During the year ended August 31, 2020, approximately $3.0 million was spent at the Waterberg Project for engineering and exploration activities. At year end, $34.9 million in accumulated net costs had been capitalized to the Waterberg Project. Total expenditures on the property since inception from all investor sources are approximately $75.2 million.

Subsequent to the completion of the Waterberg DFS and the Implats Option Amendment, the 2020 Work Program funded by Implats until September 15, 2020 completed the following optimization and risk mitigation studies:

  • Dry stacking of tailings to reduce water use and reduce tailings impoundment footprint.
  • Confirmation of portal positions and detailed designs.
  • Review of initial mining method, stope and sub level designs.
  • Detailed benchmarking to comparable operations around the world and specifically in Africa.
  • Detailed simulation of underground mining and surface systems.
  • Possible use of battery electric underground vehicles and resulting reduced ventilation and cooling requirements, reduced electrical power requirements, and opex/capex implications.
  • Possible use of Mobile Tunnel Boring.
  • Review of water demand and supply and test drilling to confirm water resources.

Geotechnical drilling of boxcuts/portals and along planned decline pathways, budgeted at approximately R 27 million, was not completed before September 15, 2020 as such work first required the grant of a Mining Right. Total cost of the 2020 Work Program funded by Implats amounted to approximately $1.46 million (R24.7 million).

Waterberg DFS

On September 24, 2019, the Company published the results of the Waterberg DFS. Waterberg JV Co. shareholders approved the Waterberg DFS on December 5, 2019. Highlights of the Waterberg DFS include:

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

(An Exploration and Development Stage Company) Supplementary Information and MD&A

For the year ended August 31, 2020

  • A significant increase in Mineral Reserves from the Project's 2016 Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") for a large-scale, shallow, decline-accessible, mechanised, palladium, platinum, gold and rhodium mine. Use of backfill in the Waterberg DFS design lowers risk and increases mined ore extraction rates.
  • Annual Steady State production rate of 420,000 4E ounces. Estimated mine life of 45 years on current reserves. The planned production rate is by careful design in order to reduce capital costs and simplify construction and ramp-up.
  • After-taxNet Present Value ("NPV") of $982 million, at an 8% real discount rate, using spot metal prices as at September 4, 2019 (Incl. $1,546 Pd/oz) ("Spot Prices").
  • After-taxNPV of US$ 333 million, at an 8% real discount rate, using three-year trailing average metal prices up until
    September 4, 2019 (Incl. $1,055 Pd/oz) ("Three Year Trailing Prices").
  • After-taxInternal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 20.7% at Spot Prices and 13.3% at Three Year Trailing Prices.
  • Estimated project capital of approximately $874 million, including $87 million in contingencies. Peak project funding estimated at $617 million.
  • On site Life of Mine average cash cost (inclusive of by-product credits and smelter discounts) for the Spot Metal Price scenario equates to $640 per 4E ounce.
  • Updated measured and indicated mineral resources of 242 million tonnes at 3.38g/t 4E for 26.4 million 4E ounces (using 2.5 g/t 4E cut-off) and the deposit remains open on strike to the north and below an arbitrary depth cut-off of 1,250- meters.
  • Proven and probable mineral reserves of 187 million tonnes at 3.24 g/t 4E for 19.5 million 4E ounces (using 2.5 g/t 4E cut-off).

The mineral resources for the Waterberg Project increased slightly based on in-fill drilling done during preparation of the Waterberg DFS. The mineral resources have been estimated based on 441 diamond drill holes and 583 deflections and has been stated at a 2.5 g/t 4E cut-off (the base-case). In the Waterberg DFS, a 2.5 g/t 4E cut-off grade has been applied to the mineral resource model as an input into the mine design. At the 2.5 g/t 4E cut-off grade, the total measured and indicated mineral resources are estimated at 242 million tonnes grading 3.38 g/t 4E for an estimated 26.4 million ounces 4E. Total mineral reserves at a 2.5 g/t 4E grade cut-off are estimated at 187 million tonnes for 19.5 million ounces 4E.

The mineral reserves are a subset of the mineral resource envelope at a 2.5 g/t 4E cut-off and they include only measured and indicated mineral resources with dilution and stope shapes considered. A minimum mining thickness of 2.4 meters and sublevel planning of 20 meters to 40 meters was considered in the mine plan for mineral reserves.

The mineral resources for the Waterberg Project are categorized and reported in terms of NI 43-101 and are tabulated below.

Notes:

  1. 4E elements are platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold.
  2. Cut-offsfor mineral resources were established by a QP after a review of potential operating costs and other factors.
  3. Conversion factor used for kilograms ("kg") to ounces ("oz") is 32.15076
  4. A 5% and 7% geological loss was applied to the measured/indicated and inferred mineral resources categories, respectively.
  5. The mineral resources are classified in accordance with NI 43-101. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability and inferred mineral resources have a high degree of uncertainty.
  6. The mineral resources are provided on a 100% Project basis, inferred and indicated categories are separate and the estimates have an effective date of 4 September 2019.
  7. Mineral resources were completed by Mr. CJ Muller of CJM Consulting.
  8. Mineral resources were estimated using kriging methods for geological domains created in Datamine from 441 mother holes and 583 deflections. A process of geological modelling and creation of grade shells using indicating kriging was completed in the estimation process.
  9. The mineral resources may be materially affected by metal prices, exchange rates, labour costs, electricity supply issues or many other factors detailed in the Company's 2018 Annual Information Form.
  10. The data that formed the basis of the mineral resources estimate are the drill holes drilled by Platinum Group as project operator, which consist of geological logs, drill hole collars surveys, downhole surveys and assay data. The area where each layer was present was delineated after examination of the intersections in the various drill holes.
  11. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

The known deposit strike length on the Waterberg Project is 13 km long so far, remains open along strike and begins from a depth of 140 meters vertical. The Waterberg DFS mine plan covers a strike length of approximately 8.5 km. The deposit is known to continue down dip below the arbitrary 1,250 meter cut off depth applied to the deposit for resource estimation purposes. The Waterberg Project and the deposit is still open for expansion. Based on airborne gravity surveys and drilling completed to date, additional drilling northward along strike is recommended for the future.

As a result of its shallow depth, good grade and a fully mechanized mining approach, the Waterberg Project can be a safe mine within the lowest quartile of the Southern Africa platinum group element industry cost curve.

The Waterberg DFS mine plan models production at 4.8 million tonnes of ore per annum and 420,000 4E ounces per year in concentrate. The mine initially accesses the orebody using two sets of twin decline tunnels with mining by fully mechanised long hole stoping methods with paste backfill. Paste backfill allows for a high mining extraction ratio as mining can be completed next to backfilled stopes without leaving internal pillars. Maintaining safety and reliability were key mine design criteria. As a result of the scale of the orebody, bulk mining on 20 to 40 meter sublevels with large underground equipment and conveyors for ore and waste transport provides high efficiency. Many of the larger successful underground mines in the world use the same method of mining with backfill and estimated costs were benchmarked against many of these operations.

Mining Right

  1. formal Mining Right Application ("MRA") for the Waterberg Project, including a Social and Labour Plan ("SLP"), was accepted by the South African Department of Mineral Resources and Energy ("DMR") on September 14, 2018. The
    Company held local public meetings on numerous occasions in advance of the MRA. A program of public consultation as part of the formal MRA and Environmental Authorisation applications for the Project was completed in August 2019. The Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Management Program were filed with the DMR on August 15, 2019. An Environmental Authorization was granted for the Waterberg Project on August 12, 2020, subject to a public notice period and finalization of issues raised by affected parties, which process was completed with the issue of the final EA on November 10, 2020.

Training for a new mechanised mining workforce is an important part of the Waterberg DFS and the MRA. Planning has been undertaken with the assistance of global mine training leader, Norcat, of Sudbury, Ontario. The Waterberg DFS modelled a significant investment in training, focussed on the immediate area of the Project, working in co-operation with local colleges and facilities.

All the above work forms a part of the MRA. Notwithstanding delays from previous guidance as a result of South African stay at home orders and regulations in 2020 aimed at halting the spread of the COVID-19 virus, a decision by the DMR regarding the grant of the Waterberg Mining Right is expected in late 2020 or early 2021.

Infrastructure planning and option assessments were components of the 2020 Work Program. Detailed hydrological work studying the utilization of known sources for significant volumes of ground water has been conducted. In 2018 a cooperation agreement was entered between Waterberg JV Co. and the local Capricorn Municipality for the development of water resources to the benefit of local communities and the mine. Hydrological work has also identified several large-scale water basins that are likely able to provide mine process and potable water for the Waterberg Project and local communities. Test drilling of these water basins has been completed resulting in the identification of sufficient water supply for the mine. An earlier drilling program conducted by the Capricorn District Municipality identified both potable and high mineral unpotable water resources in the district. Drilling by Waterberg JV Co. has identified some potable water resources. Several boreholes proximal to the Waterberg Project identified large volumes of high mineral unpotable water not suitable for agriculture. Hydrological and mill process specialists have tested the use of this water as mine process water. In general, ground water resources identified proximal to the Waterberg Project have the potential for usage for both mining and local communities. Further water definition work and drilling is planned.

The establishment of servitudes for power line routes and detailed planning and permitting for an Eskom electrical service to the project are also advancing. Power line environmental and servitude work is being completed by TDxPower in coordination with Eskom. TDxPower has progressed electrical power connection planning for approximately a 70 km, 137MvA line to the project. Engineering refinement of steady state power requirements has resulted in a reduced demand of approximately 90MvA at steady state. Bulk power design and costing work for steady state requirements has commenced. Eskom is engaged with project engineers to determine electrical power sources and availability. A temporary power line for the construction period from the nearby grid at Bochum is being designed and costed. Community engagement regarding power line routes and completion of an environmental impact assessment is in process.

Subsequent to Implats June 15, 2020 formal notice that they do not intend to exercise their Purchase and Development Option, the Company and Waterberg JV Co. have begun a process to assess commercial alternatives for mine development financing and concentrate offtake. Several parties are currently in discussions with the Company. The Implats Offtake ROFR requires that any offtake arrangement with Implats at least match any bona fide third party commercial offtake terms offered. Concentrate offtake negotiations with Implats also continue.

History of Acquisition

The Waterberg JV Project is comprised of adjacent, granted and applied for prospecting rights and applied for Mining Rights with a combined active project area of approximately 81,329.60 ha, located on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex, approximately 85 km north of the town of Mokopane (formerly Potgietersrus). The Waterberg Project is comprised of the former Waterberg JV Property and the Waterberg Extension Property.

Prospecting rights in South Africa are valid for a period of five years, with one renewal of up to three years. Furthermore,

13

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

(An Exploration and Development Stage Company) Supplementary Information and MD&A

For the year ended August 31, 2020

the MPRDA provides for a retention period after prospecting of up to three years with one renewal of up to two years, subject to certain conditions. The holder of a prospecting right granted under the MPRDA has the exclusive right to apply for and, subject to compliance with the requirements of the MPRDA, to be granted, a Mining Right in respect of the prospecting area in question.

On September 28, 2009, PTM RSA, JOGMEC and Mnombo entered into a joint venture agreement, as later amended on May 20, 2013 (the "JOGMEC Agreement") whereby JOGMEC could earn up to a 37% participating interest in the Waterberg JV Project for an optional work commitment of $3.2 million over four years, while at the same time Mnombo could earn a 26% participating interest in exchange for matching JOGMEC's expenditures on a 26/74 basis ($1.12 million).

On November 7, 2011, the Company executed an agreement with Mnombo to acquire 49.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Mnombo in exchange for cash payments totaling R1.2 million and an agreement that the Company would pay for Mnombo's 26% share of costs on the Waterberg JV Project until the completion of the Waterberg DFS.

On May 26, 2015, the Company announced a second amendment to the JOGMEC Agreement (the "2nd Amendment") whereby the Waterberg JV Project and the Waterberg Extension Project were to be consolidated and contributed into operating company, Waterberg JV Co. The transfer of Waterberg prospecting rights into Waterberg JV Co pursuant to the 2nd Amendment was given section 11 approval by the DMR in August 2017 and the transfer was completed on September 21, 2017. This transaction was considered a taxable item in South Africa, that was offset with other tax-deductible losses and utilization of unrecognized taxable losses. Under the 2nd Amendment, JOGMEC committed to fund $20 million in expenditures over a three-year period ending March 31, 2018. The Company remained the Project operator under the 2nd Amendment.

On March 8, 2018, JOGMEC announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with HANWA Co., Ltd ("HANWA") to transfer 9.755% of its 21.95% interest in Waterberg JV Co. to HANWA, which was the result of HANWA winning JOGMEC's public tender held on February 23, 2018. In March 2019, the South African government approved this transaction and the entire transfer process has been completed. Under the terms of the transaction, Hanwa has also acquired the marketing right to solely purchase all the metals produced from the Waterberg Project at market prices.

3. DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

  1. Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

On June 30, 2017, the Company issued and sold to certain institutional investors $20 million aggregate principal amount of 6 7/8% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2022 (the "Notes"). The net proceeds from the offering of Notes were

15

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

(An Exploration and Development Stage Company) Supplementary Information and MD&A

For the year ended August 31, 2020

used primarily to fund direct expenditures relating to the operation, closure and care and maintenance of the Maseve mine until completion of the sale of the Maseve mine. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6 7/8% per annum, payable semi- annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2018, in cash or at the election of the Company, in common shares of the Company or a combination of cash and common shares, and will mature on July 1, 2022, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. An additional interest charge of 0.25% for the period January 1, 2018 to March 31, 2018, plus a further 0.25% for the period April 1, 2018 to July 1, 2018, was added to the coupon rate of the Notes at the Company's election to not file a prospectus and a registration statement for the Notes with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. After July 1, 2018, at which time the Notes became freely tradable by holders other than affiliates, the Notes once again bear interest at the coupon rate of 6 7/8% per annum.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes will be convertible at any time at the option of the holder, and may be settled, at the Company's election, in cash, common shares, or a combination of cash and common shares. If any Notes are converted on or prior to the three and one-half year anniversary of the issuance date, the holder of the Notes will also be entitled to receive an amount equal to the remaining interest payments on the converted Notes to the three and one-half year anniversary of the issuance date, discounted by 2%, payable in common shares. The initial conversion rate of the Notes was 1,001.1112 common shares (on a pre-consolidation basis) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $0.9989 per common share (on a pre-consolidation basis), representing a conversion premium of approximately 15% above the NYSE American closing sale price for the Company's common shares of $0.8686 per share on June 27, 2017. After giving effect to the 2018 Share Consolidation, the conversion rate is 100.1111 per $1,000 which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $9.989 per common share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. If the Company pays interest in common shares, such shares will be issued at a price equal to 92.5% of the simple average of the daily volume-weighted average price of the common shares for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the second trading day immediately preceding the payment date, on the NYSE American exchange or, if the common shares are not then listed on the NYSE American exchange, on the principal U.S. national or other securities exchange or market on which the common shares are then listed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no holder will be entitled to receive common shares upon conversion of Notes to the extent that such receipt would cause the converting holder or persons acting as a "group" to become, directly or indirectly, a "beneficial owner" (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture")) of more than 19.9% of the common shares outstanding at such time or, in the case of a certain note holder, if it or its affiliates would become a "beneficial owner" of more than 4.9% of the common shares outstanding at such time. In addition, the Company will not issue an aggregate number of common shares pursuant to the Notes that exceeds 19.9% of the total number of common shares outstanding on June 30, 2017, which was 14,845,619. As of the date of this MD&A, the Company has issued a total of 2,592,966 common shares pursuant to conversions of and interest payments on the Notes, leaving approximately 361,312 common shares eligible for issuance pursuant to further interest payments or conversions. Any payments in excess of such amounts must be made in cash, which will have an adverse effect on the Company's cash flows.

After July 1, 2020, until the maturity date, the Company has the right to redeem all or part of the outstanding Notes at a price, payable in cash, of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change as defined in the Indenture, the Company must offer to purchase the outstanding Notes at a price, payable in cash, equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

The Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and are subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all the Company's existing and future senior indebtedness pursuant to the Indenture. The Company may issue additional Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture contains certain additional covenants, including covenants restricting asset dispositions, issuances of capital stock by subsidiaries, incurrence of indebtedness, business combinations and share exchanges.

Effective January 1, 2020 the Company issued 517,468 common shares in settlement of $687,156 of bi-annual interest payable on $19.99 million of outstanding Notes. Also, effective July 2, 2020 the Company issued 526,741 common shares in settlement of $687,156 of bi-annual interest payable on $19.99 million of outstanding Notes. The common shares issued were priced based on a simple average of their daily volume weighted average price for ten consecutive trading days, ending on the second trading day immediately preceding the payment date, multiplied by 92.5%.

Sprott Facility

On August 14, 2019, the Company entered into the Sprott Facility, pursuant to which the Sprott Lenders advanced $20 million bearing interest at 11% per annum, compounded monthly. Monthly interest payments totaling $2.2 million were paid to Sprott in fiscal 2020, with a further $0.4 million in interest paid subsequent to year end. The loan is due August 14, 2021 with the Company holding the option to extend the maturity date by one year in exchange for a payment in common shares or cash equal to three percent of the outstanding principal amount. The Company is required to maintain certain minimum working capital and cash balances under the Sprott loan.

The Sprott Facility requires that a cash sweep of 50% of the Company's net proceeds from equity offerings or new debt securities be applied to repayment of the Sprott Facility. However, Sprott will only require that 50% of the net proceeds of the 2020 ATM, plus the net proceeds from any concurrent equity offering or private placement, in excess of $1,000,000 be applied to the Sprott Facility, and for net proceeds in excess of $2,000,000, 25% is to be applied to repayment of the Sprott Facility and 12.5% be paid to Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. ("Macquarie") in payment of outstanding 2017 bank advisory fees ("Bank Advisory Fees"), as described below. After payment of the Macquarie Bank Advisory Fees the cash sweep payable to Sprott will return to 50%. On November 3, 2020 the principal balance of the Sprott Facility was paid down by $1.88 million to an aggregate amount due of $18.12 million.

Bank Advisory Fees

BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. ("BMO") and Macquarie have provided strategic advisory services to the Company. Effective October 22, 2018 the formal agreement between the Company and Macquarie was terminated by mutual consent. Pursuant to the Maseve Sale Transaction and the Implats Transaction, BMO and Macquarie earned aggregate fees of approximately $3.8 million. In October 2017, the Company paid BMO and Macquarie an aggregate of $1.0 million after the closing of the Implats Transaction of the Implats Transaction and also agreed to pay them an aggregate balance of approximately $2.9 million for their strategic advisory fees earned, as soon as practicable following the final repayment of all secured debt. On November 3, 2020, the balance of past advisory fees due to BMO and Macquarie were paid down equally by an aggregate $1.38 million, leaving an aggregate amount due of $1.51 million.

Going Concern

The Company currently has limited financial resources. The Company incurred a loss of $7.1 million during the year ended August 31, 2020 and used cash in operating activities of $3.1 million. The Company had a working capital deficit of $2.4 million at August 31, 2020 and was indebted $20 million pursuant to the Sprott Facility. As of the date of this MD&A the Sprott Facility was paid down to $18.12 million. This debt is due August 14, 2021, subject to the Company's option to extend the maturity date by one year in exchange for a payment in common shares or cash of three percent of the outstanding principal amount. The Company has no sources of operating income at present. The Company's ability to continue operations in the normal course of business will depend upon its ability to secure additional funding by methods which could include debt refinancing, equity financing, sale of assets and strategic partnerships. The Company will continue to work closely with its major shareholders and lenders. Management believes the Company will be able to secure further funding as required although there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful. Material uncertainties exist resulting in substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue to meet its obligations as they come due and hence, the ultimate appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.

Accounts Receivable and Payable

Accounts receivable at August 31, 2020 totaled $0.2 million (August 31, 2019 - $0.5 million) being comprised mainly of South African value added taxes refundable.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities at August 31, 2020, totaled $1.4 million (August 31, 2019 - $4.0 million) mainly comprising of payables related to the Waterberg Project.

  1. Results of Operations

Year Ended August 31, 2020

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $7.1 million (August 31, 2019 - net loss of $16.7 million). The loss in the current period is lower in part due to a gain recognized on the fair value movement of derivatives and warrants of $3.2 million in the current year (August 31, 2019 - $2.7 million loss). The gain results from warrants valued at $3.0 million at August 31, 2019 expiring during fiscal 2020. Interest in the current period ($5.5 million) dropped as compared to the previous comparable period (August 31, 2019 - $8.3 million) due to lower debt levels in 2020. Also, in the previous comparable period a gain of $0.6 million was recognized on the value of marketable securities held by the Company, whereas no marketable securities were held in the current period. The currency translation adjustment recognized in the period was a loss of $4.5 million (August 31, 2019 - $0.1 million gain) due to the Rand decreasing in value in the current year relative to the US Dollar.

Three Month Period Ended August 31, 2020

For the three-month period ended August 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $1.2 million (August 31, 2019 - net loss of $3.5 million). The smaller loss in the current period is due to a foreign exchange gain of $1.9 million ($1.1 gain August 31, 2019). This foreign exchange gain is due to the increased value of the Canadian Dollar relative to the U.S. Dollar in the current period. During the previous comparable period a loss of $1.8 million was recognized on the revaluation of warrants, whereas there were no warrants outstanding during the current period. The currency translation adjustment recognized in the period is a loss of $0.4 million (August 31, 2019 - $2.3 million loss) due to the Rand decreasing in value relative to the U.S. Dollar.

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

(An Exploration and Development Stage Company) Supplementary Information and MD&A

For the year ended August 31, 2020

  1. Net loss by quarter and total assets are affected by the timing and recognition of one-off large transactions. In November 2019, the Company incurred a gain of $3.1 million on the cancellation of expired warrants. In November 2018 the Company recovered some care and maintenance costs relating to the closure of the Maseve Mine.
  2. Basic (gain) loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share. Diluted per share amounts reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common shares. In periods when a loss is incurred, the effect of share issuances under options would be anti-dilutive, resulting in basic and diluted loss per share being the same.

Notes:

  1. The Company's only significant source of income during the years ending August 31, 2018 to 2020 was interest income from interest bearing accounts held by the Company.
  2. Net loss was affected in 2018 by closure care and maintenance costs on the Maseve Mine.
  3. Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company uses the treasury stock method for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Diluted per share amounts reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contract to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common shares. In periods where a loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of shares under options and share purchase warrants would be anti-dilutive, and accordingly basic and diluted loss per share are the same. On December 31, 2018 the Company announced that effective December 17, 2018 its common shares would be consolidated on the basis of one new share for ten old shares (1:10). All information regarding the issued and outstanding common shares, options and weighted average number and per share information has been retrospectively restated to reflect the fiscal 2019 ten to one consolidation.

4. Dividends

The Company has never declared nor paid dividends on its common shares. The Company has no present intention of paying dividends on its common shares, as it anticipates that in the foreseeable future all available funds will be invested to finance its business. The Company does intend to consider a dividend policy upon the successful establishment of positive cash flow.

the Company or others to attempt to reduce the spread of COVID-19, may affect the Company and cannot be predicted with certainty.

COVID-19 and the related measures taken by government have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on many aspects of the Company's business including, employee health, workforce productivity and availability, travel restrictions, contractor availability, supply availability, the Company's ability to maintain its controls and procedures regarding financial and disclosure matters and the availability of insurance and the costs thereof, some of which, individually or when aggregated with other impacts, may be material to the Company.

With effect from March 26, 2020 the Government of South Africa ordered a hard national lockdown until April 21, 2020, where all residents of South Africa could only leave their residence under strictly controlled circumstances (e.g. to buy food, seek medical assistance) in order to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The hard lockdown was thereafter extended to April 30, 2020. Currently, South Africa is under a phased risk-alert lockdown process, with Level 5 being the hard, drastic lockdown that was imposed during April 2020 and Level 1 being a return to normalcy, but retaining the use of masks, sanitisers and social distancing. Level 1 was re-implemented on September 21, 2020. The relaxation of the hard lockdown has seen the number of infections increasing and accelerating in South Africa. The Company cannot provide any assurances that governments in Canada or South Africa will not implement measures that result in suspension or reduction of development operations at Waterberg or other projects the Company is involved in.

In addition, the actual or threatened spread of COVID-19 globally, and responses of governments and others to such actual or threatened spread, could also have a material adverse effect on the global economy, could continue to negatively affect financial markets, including the price of palladium and platinum and the trading price of the Company's shares, could adversely affect the Company's ability to raise capital, and could cause continued interest rate volatility and movements that could make obtaining financing or refinancing debt obligations more challenging or more expensive. Furthermore, with regard to the Company, the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures implemented for the prevention, mitigation and management thereof may result in delays in the grant of the Waterberg mining right application or environmental authorisation, or any other authorisations and permits required for the Waterberg Project by reason of regulatory officials not being available, the restriction on the movement of persons to conduct inspections and site visits and the inability to meet with community consultative forums.

Africa Wide

On September 20, 2018, the Company reported receipt of a summons issued by Africa Wide, formerly the holder of a 17.1% interest in Maseve, commencing legal proceedings in South Africa against PTM RSA, RBPlat and Maseve in relation to the Maseve Transaction. Africa Wide is seeking to set aside the closed Maseve Transaction. On an exception application, RBPlat successfully challenged, with costs, Africa Wide's claim on the grounds that its particulars of claim were vague and embarrassing and/or lacked averments necessary to sustain a cause of action. Africa Wide was given leave to amend its particulars of claim and filed amended particulars of claim on April 17, 2019.

On May 9, 2019, PTM filed notice in the High Court requiring Africa Wide to produce those agreements and documents upon which it has based its claim. Africa Wide responded to the effect that the requested documentation was either in our possession or not required for the defendants to plead. We filed a plea of our defences to Africa Wide's claims on July 19, 2019. RBPlat and Maseve likewise filed pleas of their defences on the same date. All of the defendants, when so doing, also raised a special plea of non-joinder, on the basis that Africa Wide has not, on its own version of the facts and events contended for, joined all parties to the proceedings who have a direct and substantial interest in the relief that Africa Wide seeks. After initially resisting these special pleas, Africa Wide has subsequently conceded the need to join additional defendants. Pursuant to bringing a joinder application, Africa Wide has made further amendments to its particulars of claim.

While both the Company and RBPlat believe, after receiving legal advice, that the Africa Wide action, as amended, remains procedurally, factually and legally defective in certain material respects, no assurance can be provided that we will prevail in this action. If Africa Wide were successful, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Tax Audit South Africa

During the 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, PTM RSA claimed unrealized foreign exchange losses as income tax deductions in its South African corporate tax returns in the amount of Rand 1.4 billion. The exchange losses emanate from a Canadian dollar denominated shareholder loan advanced to PTM RSA. Under applicable South African tax legislation,

For the year ended August 31, 2020

exchange losses can be claimed if the shareholder loan is a current liability as determined by IFRS. For the years in question, the intercompany debt was classified as current in PTM RSA's stand alone audited financial statements.

During 2018, the South African Revenue Service ("SARS") conducted an income tax audit of the 2014 to 2016 years of assessment and issued PTM RSA with a letter of audit findings on November 5, 2018 proposing that the exchange losses be disallowed on the basis that the shareholder loan was not a current liability. The Company and its advisors responded to SARS during 2019 and refuted the issues raised.

On June 30, 2020 the Company received a letter from SARS reporting the finalization of the above income tax audit with no reassessment or adjustment to the Company's tax returns for the three years audited.

9. Outlook

The Company's key business objective is to advance the palladium dominant Waterberg Project to a development and construction decision. The next major milestone for the Company is the grant of a Mining Right for the project. Although platinum demand and pricing has been stagnant in recent years, the markets for palladium, gold and rhodium have improved in 2019 and 2020, resulting in a higher overall 4E metal basket price. We expect a strong forward market for palladium and rhodium based on the trend of increasing car sales in China where the largest amount of palladium and rhodium are used.

The Company continues to work on advancing project permitting, infrastructure servitudes and community relationships with its partners Implats, JOGMEC, Hanwa and Mnombo through a technical committee of Waterberg JV Co. The Company and Waterberg JV Co. have begun a process to assess commercial alternatives for mine development financing and concentrate offtake. Several parties are currently in discussions with the Company. The Implats Offtake ROFR allows Implats the opportunity to match any offtake terms offered by a bona fide third party. Concentrate offtake discussions and negotiations with Implats also continue.

The Company's battery technology initiative through Lion with AAP represents an exciting opportunity in the high-profile lithium battery research and innovation field. The investment in Lion creates a potential vertical integration with a broader industrial market development strategy to bring new technologies to market which use palladium and platinum. Research and development efforts by FIU on behalf of Lion continue and additional patent applications are in process.

The Company will continue to follow government health directives in the months ahead and will make the health and safety of employees a priority. The Company plans to drive ahead with its core business objectives while reducing costs where possible in this period of market uncertainty.

As well as the discussions within this MD&A, the reader is encouraged to also see the Company's disclosure made under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's Form 20-F, which was also filed as the Company's AIF in Canada.

10. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS required management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as income and expenses. The Company's accounting policies are described in Note 3 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2020.

Fair value of embedded derivatives

Where the fair value of financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements cannot be derived from active markets, their fair value is determined using valuation techniques including the partial differential equation method. The inputs to this model are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible.

Determination of ore reserve and mineral resource estimates

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

Assumption of control of Mnombo and Waterberg JV Resources for accounting purposes

The Company has judged that it controls Mnombo for accounting purposes as it owns 49.9% of the outstanding shares of Mnombo and has contributed all material capital to Mnombo since acquiring its 49.9% share. From inception to date, the Company has funded both the Company's and Mnombo's share of expenditures on the Waterberg Project. At August 31, 2020 Mnombo owed the Company approximately $4.8 million for funding provided. Currently there are no other sources of funding known to be available to Mnombo. If in the future Mnombo is not deemed to be controlled by the Company, the assets and liabilities of Mnombo would be derecognized at their carrying amounts. Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income would be transferred directly to retained earnings. If a retained interest remained after the loss of control it would be recognized at its fair value on the date of loss of control. Although the Company controls Mnombo for accounting purposes, it does not have omnipotent knowledge of Mnombo's other shareholders activities. Mnombo's 50.01% shareholders are historically disadvantaged South Africans. The Company also determined that it controls Waterberg JV Resources given its control over Mnombo as well as its power over the investee.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities and resource taxes

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

11. Change in Accounting Policies

On September 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16, Leases ("IFRS 16") which replaces IAS 17, Leases. IFRS 16 eliminates the classification as an operating lease and requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the statement of financial position for all leases, with exemptions permitted for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. In addition, IFRS 16 changes the definition of a lease and sets requirements on how to account for the asset and liability. Under IFRS 16, a lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach without restatement of comparative amounts. An assessment was made and the impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements was to set up a lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset of $0.2 million for its office lease as at September 1, 2019. Certain contracts qualify as short-term or low value leases and meet the scope exemption for disclosure only. No other significant differences have been identified in relation to the adoption of IFRS 16. See note 2 to the consolidated financial statements as at August 31, 2020 for further information related to the adoption of IFRS 16.

12. Disclosure Controls and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended August 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exemption from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act

Under the Jumpstart Our Business & Startups Act ("JOBS Act") emerging growth companies are exempt from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which generally requires public companies to provide an independent auditor attestation of management's assessment of the effectiveness of their internal control over financial reporting. The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act and therefore has not obtained an independent auditor attestation of management's assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting for the year ended August 31, 2020.
