ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

            This prospectus is a part of a registration statement that we have filed with the SEC utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may sell the Securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of initial aggregate offering price of $199,000,000. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities that we may offer. Each time we sell securities under this process, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering, including a description of any risks relating to the offering if those terms and risks are not described in this prospectus. A prospectus supplement may also add, update, or change information contained in this prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement.

            Before investing in our securities, please carefully read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as listed under “Documents Incorporated by Reference,” and the additional information described below under “Additional Information.”

            We may sell securities to or through underwriters or dealers, and we may also sell securities directly to other purchasers or through agents. To the extent not described in this prospectus, the names of any underwriters, dealers, or agents employed by us in the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus, the principal amounts or number of common shares or other securities, if any, to be purchased by such underwriters or dealers, and the compensation, if any, of such underwriters, dealers, or agents will be described in a prospectus supplement.

             Owning securities may subject you to tax consequences in the United States. This prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement may not describe these tax consequences fully. You should read the tax discussion in any prospectus supplement with respect to a particular offering and consult your own tax advisor with respect to your own particular circumstances.

            You should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus or a prospectus supplement. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. The distribution or possession of this prospectus in or from certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. This prospectus is not an offer to sell the securities and is not soliciting an offer to buy the securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted or where the person making the offer or sale is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is not permitted to make such offer or sale. You should assume that the information contained in this prospectus and in any applicable prospectus supplement is accurate only as of the date on the front cover of this prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, and the information incorporated by reference into this prospectus or any prospectus supplement is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

            Market data and certain industry forecasts used in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein were obtained from market research, publicly available information and industry publications. We believe that these sources are generally reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of this information is not guaranteed.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

            This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that we believe, expect or anticipate will, may, could or might occur in the future are forward looking statements. The words “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “may”, “could”, “might”, “will”, “would”, “should”, “intend”, “believe”, “target”, “budget”, “plan”, “strategy”, “goals”, “objectives”, “projection” or the negative of any of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements, although these words may not be present in all forward looking statements. Forward looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein include, without limitation, statements with respect to:

- 6 -


            Forward looking statements reflect our current expectations or beliefs based on information currently available to us. Forward looking statements in respect of capital costs, operating costs, production rate, grade per tonne and concentrator and smelter recovery are based upon the estimates in the technical report referred to in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and ongoing cost estimation work, and the forward looking statements in respect of metal prices and exchange rates are based upon the three year trailing average prices and the assumptions contained in such technical report and ongoing estimates.

            Forward looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual events or results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements, and even if events or results discussed in the forward looking statements are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things:

- 7 -


- 8 -


            These factors should be considered carefully, and investors should not place undue reliance on the forward looking statements. In addition, although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions or results to differ materially from those described in the forward looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.

            The mineral resource and mineral reserve figures referred to in this prospectus 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 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 us.

- 9 -


            Any forward looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, we disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING MINERAL RESERVE AND MINERAL RESOURCE DISCLOSURE

            Estimates of mineralization and other technical information included or incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects . The definitions of proven and probable reserves used in Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 differ from the definitions in SEC Industry Guide 7 of the SEC. Under SEC Industry 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 we reported in accordance with Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 may not qualify as “reserves” under SEC 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 Canada’s National Instrument 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and have not normally been permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. 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. See “Reserve and Mineral Resource Disclosure”. Additionally, disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian securities laws; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measurements. Accordingly, information contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of our mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of SEC Industry Guide 7. We have not disclosed or determined any mineral reserves under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards in respect of any of our properties.

            Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to inferred mineral resource estimates, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource estimate will be upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource estimate as a result of continued exploration. Confidence in an inferred mineral resource estimate is insufficient to allow meaningful application of the technical and economic parameters to enable an evaluation of economic viability sufficient for public disclosure, except in certain limited circumstances set out Canada’s National Instrument 43-101. Inferred mineral resource estimates are excluded from estimates forming the basis of a feasibility study.

            Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 requires mining companies to disclose reserves and resources using the subcategories of proven reserves, probable reserves, measured resources, indicated resources and inferred resources. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

            A “mineral reserve” is the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social, governmental and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that extraction could reasonably be justified. A mineral reserve includes diluting materials and allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined or extracted. A “proven mineral reserve” is the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. A “probable mineral reserve” is the economically mineable part of an indicated, and in some circumstances, a measured mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.

- 10 -


            A “mineral resource” is a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling. A “measured mineral resource” is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to confirm geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation. An “indicated mineral resource” is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application of technical and economic parameters in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from adequately detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to assume geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. An “inferred mineral resource” is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. An inferred mineral resource is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate sampling techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.

            A “feasibility study” is a comprehensive technical and economic study of the selected development option for a mineral project that includes appropriately detailed assessments of applicable mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social, governmental and other relevant operational factors and detailed financial analysis that are necessary to demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that extraction is reasonably justified (economically mineable). The results of the study may serve as the basis for a final decision by a proponent or financial institution to proceed with, or finance, the development of the project. A “preliminary feasibility study” or “pre-feasibility study” is a comprehensive study of a range of options for the technical and economic viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where a preferred mining method, in the case of underground mining, or the pit configuration, in the case of an open pit, is established and an effective method of mineral processing is determined. It includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions on the applicable mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social, governmental and other relevant operational factors and the evaluation of any other relevant factors which are sufficient for a qualified person, acting reasonably, to determine if all or part of the mineral resource may be converted to a mineral reserve at the time of reporting. “Cut-off grade” means (a) in respect of mineral resources, the lowest grade below which the mineralized rock currently cannot reasonably be expected to be economically extracted, and (b) in respect of mineral reserves, the lowest grade below which the mineralized rock currently cannot be economically extracted as demonstrated by either a preliminary feasibility study or a feasibility study. Cut-off grades vary between deposits depending upon the amenability of ore to mineral extraction and upon costs of production and metal prices.

We have appointed an agent for service of process in the United States, but it may be difficult for investors who reside in the United States to effect service within the United States upon those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the United States. It may also be difficult for investors who reside in the United States to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon our civil liability and the civil liability of the Company’s directors, officers and experts under the United States federal securities laws. A final judgment for a liquidated sum in favour of a private litigant granted by a United States court and predicated solely upon civil liability under United States federal securities laws would, subject to certain exceptions identified in the law of individual provinces and territories of Canada, likely be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained had a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by the domestic Canadian court for the same purposes. There is a significant risk that a given Canadian court may not have jurisdiction or may decline jurisdiction over a claim based solely upon United States federal securities law on application of the conflict of laws principles of the province or territory in Canada in which the claim is brought.

Overview

            We are a platinum and palladium focused exploration and development company conducting work primarily on mineral properties we have staked or acquired by way of option agreements or applications in the Republic of South Africa. Our material mineral property is the Waterberg Project. The Waterberg Project is comprised of two adjacent project areas formerly known as the Waterberg joint venture project and the Waterberg extension project. The Waterberg Project is held by Waterberg JV Resources, in which we are the largest owner, with a 50.02% beneficial interest. Our wholly-owned direct subsidiary, PTM RSA, directly holds 37.05% of this interest, and 12.974% is held indirectly through PTM RSA’s 49.9% interest in Mnombo, a Black Economic Empowerment company which holds 26.0% of Waterberg JV Resources. PTM RSA is a participant in the Waterberg Project, together with Implats, Mnombo, Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation, which we refer to as JOGMEC, and HANWA Co., Ltd. PTM RSA is the operator of the Waterberg Project. Implats has been granted a call option exercisable in certain circumstances to purchase and earn into a 50.01% interest in Waterberg JV Resources.

            We have sold all of our rights and interests, indirectly held through PTM RSA, in Maseve, including the Maseve platinum and palladium mine and Project 3 of what was formerly the Western Bushveld Joint Venture both located on the Western Limb of the Bushveld Complex. Currently, we consider the Waterberg Project to be our sole material mineral property.

            Our principal executive office is located at Suite 838 – 1100 Melville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6E 4A6 and our telephone number is (604) 899-5450.

Recent Updates

             Waterberg

            On September 21, 2017 we completed the transfer of all Waterberg Project prospecting permits held in trust by PTM RSA into Waterberg JV Resources. Effective September 21, 2017 Waterberg JV Resources owned 100% of the prospecting rights comprising the entire Waterberg Project area and Waterberg JV Resources was owned 45.65% by PTM RSA, 28.35% by JOGMEC and 26% by Mnombo.

            On October 16, 2017 we announced the execution of definitive agreements in connection with a transaction with Implats involving the Waterberg Project. Pursuant to this transaction, Implats purchased Waterberg JV Resources shares representing a 15.0% interest in the Waterberg Project from PTM RSA (8.6%) and JOGMEC (6.4%) for US$30.0 million (of which PTM RSA’s pro rata share was US$17.2 million). Pursuant to the transaction with Implats, Implats also acquired a call option to increase its stake in Waterberg JV Resources to 50.01% through additional share purchases and earn-in arrangements and acquired a right of first refusal to smelt and refine Waterberg Project concentrate. The initial transaction closed on November 6, 2017. Certain of the proceeds of the initial transaction were ring-fenced by PTM RSA and disbursed to cover our share of the costs of a definitive feasibility study. Implats will have an option within 90 business days of the completion by Waterberg JV Resources and approval by Waterberg JV Resources or Implats of the planned definitive feasibility study to elect to exercise the call option to increase its interest in Waterberg JV Resources up to 50.01% by purchasing an additional 12.195% equity interest from JOGMEC for US$34.8 million and earning into the remaining interest by making a firm commitment to an expenditure of US$130.0 million in development work. The preparation of the planned definitive feasibility study is currently underway and is expected to be completed in the third calendar quarter of 2019.

            On March 8, 2018, JOGMEC announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with HANWA Co., Ltd to transfer 9.755% of its 21.95% interest in Waterberg JV Resources to HANWA, which was the result of HANWA winning JOGMEC’s public tender held on February 23, 2018. On October 24, 2018, HANWA and JOGMEC entered into a transfer agreement, which was completed in March 2019. JOGMEC was not required to obtain approval from any South African governmental or regulatory agency prior to transferring this interest. Following the HANWA transfer, we continue to hold a 50.02% effective interest in Waterberg JV Resources, JOGMEC now holds a 12.195% interest, Implats holds a 15% interest, HANWA holds a 9.755% interest and empowerment partner Mnombo holds the effective balance of the joint venture.

            On October 25, 2018, we reported an updated independent 4E (palladium, platinum, rhodium and gold) resource estimate for the Waterberg Project. The updated independent 4E resource estimate followed the completion of a drilling campaign in 2018, resulting in increased confidence in the estimated mineral resources for the project, with 6.26 million 4E ounces now recognized in the higher confidence measured category. Mineral resources estimated in the combined measured and indicated categories increased by 1.46 million 4E ounces to an aggregate 26.34 million 4E ounces. Inferred mineral resources are estimated at 7.0 million 4E ounces. The aggregate T Zone and F Zone measured and indicated resource is comprised of 63% palladium, 29% platinum, 6% gold and 1% rhodium (242.5 Million Tonnes at 3.38 g/t 4E). The T Zone measured and indicated mineral resources increased in grade from 3.88g/t 4E from the 2016 Pre-Feasibility Study) to 4.51 g/t 4E. All of the preceding was estimated at a 2.5 g/t 4E cut-off grade.

             Realization of Proceeds of Maseve Sale Transaction

            On January 11, 2019, we delivered a payment of $8.0 million to LMM in partial settlement of the LMM Facility. The amount paid represented net proceeds from the recent sale of 4.52 million common shares of Royal Bafokeng Platinum Limited, which we refer to as RBPlat. We received the shares in April 2018 upon completion of stage two of the sale of the Maseve mine to RBPlat.

             Private Placement and Warrant Exercises

            On February 4, 2019, we completed a non-brokered private placement of 3,124,059 common shares at a price of US$1.33 for aggregate gross proceeds of US$4.155 million. We paid a 6% cash finder’s fee on a portion of the private placement. Hosken Consolidated Investments Ltd., an existing major shareholder, subscribed for 2,141,942 common shares.

            Between September 24, 2018 and April 11, 2019, we issued a total of 968,770 common shares pursuant to warrant exercises at a price of US$1.70 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of US$1,646,909. These warrant exercises were completed mostly by two of our major shareholders.

             Expiration of Shareholder Rights Plan

            Our shareholder rights plan expired in accordance with its terms following the completion of our annual general meeting of shareholders on February 22, 2019. The rights previously issued to our shareholders pursuant to the terms of this plan are of no further force and effect.

             Appointment of Director

            Mr. Stuart Harshaw, 52, was appointed to our board of directors on April 15, 2019 bringing the number of directors to seven. Mr. Harshaw is also a member of the board of directors of Constantine Metal Resources, International Tower Hill Mines and Laurentian University of Sudbury, Canada. Mr. Harshaw retired in 2017 as the Vice President, Ontario Operations, for Vale Canada Limited, and worked at Vale, and its predecessor company Inco Ltd., in operations, marketing and strategic planning from 1990 to 2017. Although Mr. Harshaw was previously a consultant to our company, the board of directors has determined that Mr. Harshaw is an independent director.

            The term of office for Mr. Harshaw will expire at the next annual general meeting of shareholders where he can be nominated for election. There is no family relationship between Mr. Harshaw and any of the other members of the board. Furthermore, there are no arrangements or understandings with major shareholders, customers, suppliers or others, pursuant to which Mr. Harshaw was selected as a director of the board. As of the date of this prospectus, Mr. Harshaw owns directly 5,000 of our common shares, and 16,800 options to purchase common shares of the Company at an exercise price of CAD$2.61 per common share, expiring on April 9, 2024.

             Tax Audit

            During the 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, our wholly-owned subsidiary PTM RSA claimed unrealized foreign exchange differences 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 that we advanced to PTM RSA, and weakening of the Rand. Under applicable South African tax legislation, exchange losses can be claimed in the event that the shareholder loan is classified as a current liability as determined by IFRS.

            For the years in question, the intercompany debt was classified as current in PTM RSA’s audited financial statements. During 2018, the South African Revenue Service, or 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. SARS proposed that the exchange losses be disallowed on the basis that SARS is not in agreement with the reclassification of the shareholder loan as a current liability. SARS also invited us to provide further information and arguments if we disagreed with the audit findings. On the advice of our legal and tax advisors, we are in strong disagreement with the proposed interpretation by SARS.

            We responded to the SARS letter on January 31, 2019 and again on April 5, 2019 following a request for additional information on March 20, 2019. We also met with SARS, together with our advisors, on May 30, 2019 in order to address any remaining concerns that SARS may have. As of the date of this prospectus, this matter is unresolved. Any additional tax assessment issued by SARS will be legally contested by PTM RSA.

            In the event that the exchange losses are disallowed by SARS, we estimate for the years under review that PTM RSA’s exposure would be taxable income of approximately Rand 182 million and an income tax liability of approximately Rand 51 million (approximately $3.47 million based on the daily exchange rates reported by the Bank of Canada on June 4, 2019). For fiscal years 2017 and 2018 we estimate that a further Rand 266 million in income could be subject to taxation at a rate of approximately 28% if our exchange losses are disallowed by SARS. SARS may apply interest and penalties to any amounts due, which could be substantial. We believe that the accounting classification of the shareholder loan is correct and that no additional tax assessment is warranted; however, we cannot assure you that SARS will not issue a reassessment or that we will be successful in legally contesting any such assessment. Any assessment could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

             NYSE American

            Due to a decline in our shareholders’ equity and market capitalization, on April 10, 2018, we received a letter from the NYSE American stating that we were not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide. In order to maintain our listing, we needed to submit a plan of compliance by May 10, 2018 addressing how we intend to regain compliance with Section 1003(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide by October 10, 2019. We timely submitted a plan to the NYSE American.

            Due to the low selling price of the common shares, on May 23, 2018, we received an additional letter from the NYSE American stating that we are not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide. Effective December 13, 2018, we completed a consolidation of our common shares on a basis of one new share for 10 old shares, which brought the selling price of our common shares back into compliance with the continued listing standards.

            On June 21, 2018, the NYSE American notified us that our plan of compliance has been accepted. Therefore, although we are not currently in compliance with NYSE American listing standards, our listing is being continued pursuant to an exception. We will be subject to periodic reviews by the NYSE American. If we are not in compliance with the NYSE American Company Guide by the deadlines adopted by the NYSE American, or if we do not make progress consistent with the plan, the NYSE American will initiate delisting procedures as appropriate. In the interim, our common shares are expected to continue to be listed on the NYSE American while we attempt to regain compliance with the continued listing standards.

            Section 1003(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide sets forth minimum shareholders’ equity requirements for a company listed on the NYSE American. It also provides that the NYSE American will not normally consider suspending dealings in, or removing from the list, the securities of an issuer if the issuer is in compliance with the following alternative listing standards: (A) total value of market capitalization of at least US$50.0 million; or total assets and revenue of US$50.0 million each in its last fiscal year, or in two of its last three fiscal years; and (B) the issuer has at least 1,100,000 shares publicly held, a market value of publicly held shares of at least US$15.0 million and 400 round lot shareholders. In order to satisfy the alternative listing standards, we must regain a market capitalization of US$50.0 million or more for a period that the NYSE American considers adequate. These standards in no way limit or restrict the NYSE American’s discretionary authority to suspend dealings in, or remove, a security from listing.

             Financing and Repayment of Indebtedness

            As at February 28, 2019, we held cash and cash equivalents of US$3.1 million and a working capital deficit of US$44 million, due primarily to the US$42.1 million then outstanding under the LMM Facility, which matures on October 31, 2019. We currently have limited financial resources and no sources of operating revenues. Our ability to continue operations in the normal course of business and to repay the LMM Facility and our other indebtedness when due will depend upon our ability to secure additional funding and/or modify the terms of our existing indebtedness. Our management is actively exploring our funding alternatives, including through discussions with potential funding sources. Potential alternatives that our management has considered or will consider include, without limitation, private or public offerings of our equity or debt, amendments to our existing indebtedness, conversions of our existing indebtedness into equity, exercises of outstanding warrants, sales of assets and strategic partnerships.

DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS

LMM Facility

            On November 20, 2015, we drew down $40 million from the LMM Facility, pursuant to the credit agreement entered into on November 2, 2015, which was later amended and restated on October 30, 2017 and again on February 12, 2018 and subsequently amended on February 28, 2018, May 1, 2018, May 10, 2018, August 21, 2018, October 18, 2018, December 14, 2018 and January 31, 2019, with LMM. The interest rate on the LMM Facility is LIBOR plus 9.5% .

            Payment and performance of our obligations under the LMM Facility are guaranteed by PTM RSA and secured by a security interest in favor of LMM, on behalf of the lenders, in all of our present and after-acquired real and personal property, together with the proceeds thereof, and a pledge over all of the issued shares in the capital of PTM RSA and the shares that PTM RSA holds in Waterberg JV Resources. The LMM Facility contains various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants from us, and provisions regarding default and events of default, in each case relating to us and our related entities, including Waterberg JV Resources and Mnombo.

            After the May 10, 2018 amendment to the LMM Facility, we were required to raise a minimum of $15 million in financing before May 31, 2018, pay $12 million from such financing to reduce indebtedness under the LMM Facility and not otherwise be in default under the LMM Facility. We met all of these conditions, and as a result, the LMM Facility maturity date was extended to October 31, 2019. Interest will continue to accrue and be capitalized until the maturity date.

            On October 18, 2018, LMM granted us a waiver permitting us to complete an equity financing of up to $6.0 million by way of a private placement issuance before November 30, 2018, without LMM exercising its right to receive and apply 50% of the net proceeds of such offering to reduce indebtedness under the LMM Facility. On November 28, 2018, LMM extended this waiver to December 31, 2018 and confirmed that the equity financing may be effected, in whole or in part, by way of exercise of warrants held by certain of our shareholders. On December 20, 2018, LMM further extended this waiver to January 31, 2019.

            In the January 31, 2019 amendment to the LMM Facility, LMM agreed to further extend this waiver to March 31, 2019. LMM subsequently agreed to a further extension of the waiver to April 11, 2019. We are otherwise required to pay LMM 50% of the proceeds from any financings in excess of $500,000 as well as 50% of the proceeds from the exercise of common share purchase warrants to reduce indebtedness under the LMM Facility. After March 31, 2019, we are required to maintain a minimum of $1.0 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and working capital in excess of $500,000; however, LMM has granted us a waiver of these covenants until August 31, 2019.

            In April and May of 2018, we paid $23.1 million of the amount owed to LMM under the LMM Facility and in connection with the termination of a previously-existing production payment obligation, consisting of $11.1 million from proceeds of the Maseve sale transaction and $12.0 million from the May 2018 financing. After the production payment termination fee of $15 million was paid to LMM, the remaining $8.1 million was applied against the LMM Facility and accrued interest. On January 11, 2019, we paid a further $8.0 million to LMM from the proceeds of the sale of the RBPlat shares we received in the sale of Maseve. As at May 31, 2019 $43.4 million was owed to LMM under the LMM Facility, including principal and accrued interest.

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

            On June 30, 2017, we issued and sold to certain institutional investors $20 million aggregate principal amount of 6 7/8% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2022, which we refer to as the Notes. 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 our election, in our common shares or a combination of cash and our 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 our 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, the Notes once again bear interest at the coupon rate of 6 7/8% per annum. After giving effect to a conversion, $19.99 million principal amount of Notes remain outstanding.

            Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes are convertible at any time at the option of the holder, and may be settled, at our 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 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 our 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 $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 we pay 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 or admitted for trading.

            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, dated June 30, 2017 between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as amended, 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, we 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. The maximum number of common shares we may issue under the Notes is 2,954,278 on a post-share consolidation basis.

            On or after July 1, 2018 and before July 1, 2019, we have the right to redeem all or part of the Notes at a price, payable in cash, of 110.3125% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date; on or after July 1, 2019 and before July 1, 2020, we have the right to redeem all or part of the outstanding Notes at a price, payable in cash, of 105.15625% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding, the redemption date; and on or after July 1, 2010, until the maturity date, we have 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, we 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 will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of our existing and future senior indebtedness pursuant to the indenture. We 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.

            As at the date of this prospectus, we have issued a total of 1,549,027 common shares pursuant to conversions of and interest payments on the Notes, leaving approximately 1,405,251 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 our cash flows.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

            The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated income statements of us and our consolidated subsidiaries should be read together with our condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss (income) for the six months ended February 28, 2019 and our consolidated statements of loss (income) and comprehensive loss (income) for the years ended August 31, 2018 and 2017, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

            On September 6, 2017, we announced that we had entered into a term sheet to sell all of our rights and interests in Maseve to RBPlat. Definitive legal agreements for this sale were executed on November 23, 2017 and the sale closed in April 2018. The consideration we ultimately received was $61 million in cash and approximately 4.52 million shares of RBPlat.

            As we had an active plan in place to sell all of our rights and interests in Maseve at August 31, 2017, Maseve was impaired and presented as an asset held for sale at August 31, 2017.

            The following unaudited pro forma income statements have been prepared to give effect to the sale as if it had occurred on August 31, 2017. Changes in the value of RBPlat shares since August 31, 2017 and the possible reduction in interest expense had earlier repayment of indebtedness occurred have not been considered in these pro forma income statements. A pro forma balance sheet is not presented because our consolidated balance sheets as at February 28, 2019 and August 31, 2018 incorporated by reference into this prospectus, give effect to the sale of Maseve. A pro forma income statement for the six months ended February 28, 2019 is presented as there were final closure costs related to Maseve incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

            These unaudited pro forma income statements have been prepared for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of future results or of actual results that would have been achieved if the sale of Maseve had been consummated as of the date indicated.

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

             The applicable prospectus supplement may describe certain Canadian and/or United States federal income tax consequences to investors described therein of the acquisition, ownership, exercise and disposition of securities offered by the prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMON SHARES

             We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value of which 33,741,961 common shares were issued and outstanding as at the date hereof. Shareholders are entitled to receive notice of and attend all meetings of shareholders with each common share held entitling the holder to one vote on any resolution to be passed at such shareholder meetings. Shareholders are entitled to dividends if, as and when declared by our board of directors. Shareholders are entitled upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up to receive our remaining assets available for distribution to shareholders.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WARRANTS

             We may issue warrants for the purchase of common shares. Warrants may be offered separately or together with other securities offered by this prospectus, as the case may be. Unless the applicable prospectus supplement otherwise indicates, each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant indenture to be entered into between us and one or more banks or trust companies acting as warrant agent. The applicable prospectus supplement will include details of the warrant agreements covering the warrants being offered. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent and will not assume a relationship of agency with any holders of warrant certificates or beneficial owners of warrants.

             The following sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the warrants offered under this prospectus. The specific terms of the warrants, and the extent to which the general terms described in this section apply to those warrants, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any warrants offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

- 23 -


              The particular terms of each issue of warrants will be described in the related prospectus supplement. This description will include some or all of the following:

              Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase common shares, as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe therein. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

              The warrant indenture, if any, and the warrant certificate will specify that upon the subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or other material change of our common shares or any other reorganization, amalgamation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the warrants will thereafter evidence the right of the holder to receive the securities, property or cash deliverable in exchange for or on the conversion of or in respect of our common shares to which the holder of a common share would have been entitled immediately after such event. Similarly, any distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of common shares of rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets will result in an adjustment in the number of common shares to be issued to holders of warrants.

              Prior to the exercise of any warrants to purchase common shares, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the underlying common shares, including the right to receive payments of dividends, if any, on the underlying common shares, or to exercise any applicable right to vote.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

              We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities that may be offered under this prospectus, in any combination. The following information, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes the material terms and provisions of any such the units that we may offer under this prospectus. While the information below will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units in detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the general terms described below.

              We will file the form of unit agreement, if any, between us and a unit agent that describes the terms and conditions of the series of units we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, concurrently with the filing of the applicable prospectus supplement under which such series of units are offered. This summary is subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement, if any, and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the particular series of units that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreement, if any, and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the units.

              We may issue units comprising one or more of common shares and warrants in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement, under which a unit may be issued, if any, may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units.

- 24 -


              The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of the Common Shares” and “Description of Warrants” will apply to each unit and to any common share or warrant included in each unit, respectively.

             We may issue units in such amounts and in numerous distinct series as we determine.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

             We may sell the securities, separately or together: (a) to or through one or more underwriters or dealers; (b) through one or more agents; or (c) directly to one or more other purchasers. Each prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the applicable offering, including the name or names of any underwriters or agents, the purchase price or prices of the securities and the proceeds to us from the sale of the securities.

             The securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, including sales made directly on the NYSE American, if applicable, or other existing trading markets for our common shares. The prices at which the securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If, in connection with an offering at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters, if any, have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable prospectus supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial public offering price fixed in such prospectus supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid to us by the underwriters.

             Underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the United States Securities Act of 1933 , as amended, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. The underwriters, dealers or agents with whom we enter into agreements may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

             In connection with any offering of securities, except as otherwise set out in a prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering, the underwriters or dealers, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions intended to fix or stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

LEGAL MATTERS

             Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement relating to any offering of securities under this prospectus, certain legal matters in connection with the offering of the securities will be passed upon on our behalf by Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP, as to Canadian legal matters, and Dorsey & Whitney LLP, as to U.S. legal matters.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

             On August 28, 2018, we received a summons issued by Africa Wide Mineral Prospecting and Exploration (Pty) Limited, which we refer to as Africa Wide, in the High Court of South Africa whereby Africa Wide, formerly the holder of a 17.1% interest in Maseve, has instituted legal proceedings in South Africa against our wholly-owned subsidiary, PTM RSA, RBPlat and Maseve, collectively referred to herein as the “defendants”, in relation to the Maseve sale transaction. In its particulars of claim, Africa Wide sought to set aside the Maseve sale transaction, or alternatively sought to be paid the "true value" of its 17.1% shareholding in Maseve, to be determined at the time prior to the implementation of stage one of the Maseve sale transaction. Africa Wide claims that (i) pursuant to the term sheet pertaining to the Maseve sale transaction the defendants disposed of Maseve's main asset (allegedly the plant and certain surface rights) without Africa Wide's consent as required under the Maseve shareholders agreement; (ii) such disposal significantly devalued its shares in Maseve which (iii) resulted in the disposal of Africa Wide's shares in Maseve through a drag-along provision in Maseve's constitutional documents and (iv) Africa Wide did not have an election to refuse to dispose of its shareholding.

             On November 21, 2018 in the High Court of South Africa, RBPlat, filed exceptions to Africa Wide’s “particulars of claim on the grounds that they were vague and embarrassing and/or lacked averments necessary to sustain a cause of action”. We were not required to file any motion or heads of arguments related to the Africa Wide particulars of claim until such time as the exceptions filed by RBPlat were heard and ruled upon by the High Court.

- 25 -


              Both Africa Wide and RBPlat filed heads of arguments relating to RBPlat’s requested exceptions with the High Court on or around March 11, 2019. Subsequently, on March 27, 2019, the High Court in Johannesburg held a hearing at which RBPlat’s exceptions were argued before a judge. At the conclusion of the hearing the judge ordered that RBPlat’s exceptions be upheld. Africa Wide was also ordered to pay costs. Africa Wide was given leave by the High Court to amend its particulars of claim within fifteen court days (approximately three calendar weeks) if they wished to attempt to progress their claim.

              On April 17, 2019, Africa Wide filed amended particulars of claim with the High Court of South Africa, wherein Africa Wide is seeking to set aside the Maseve sale transaction. Africa Wide claims (i) that pursuant to the definitive legal agreements pertaining to the Maseve sale transaction the defendants disposed of Maseve's main asset (allegedly the plant and certain surface assets) without Africa Wide's consent as required under the Maseve shareholders agreement; (ii) had it not been for such disposal, Africa Wide would not have disposed of its shares in Maseve; and (iii) that Africa Wide was forced to dispose of its shares in Maseve. In the alternative, Africa Wide seeks merely to set aside the sale of the plant and certain surface assets. Senior counsel for RBPlat and PTM RSA have both reviewed the amended particulars of claim as filed by Africa Wide. While both we and RBPlat believe, after receiving legal advice, that the Africa Wide action, as amended, remains factually and legally defective in certain material respects, no assurance can be provided that we will prevail in this action.

PART II:
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

              Section 160 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Business Corporations Act”) provides that a company may do one or both of the following:

  (a)

indemnify an eligible party against all eligible penalties, which are judgments, penalties or fines awarded or imposed in, or amounts paid in settlement of, an eligible proceeding, to which the eligible party is or may be liable; and/or

     
  (b)

after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses (which includes costs, charges and expenses, including legal and other fees, but excludes judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding) actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding.

              However, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, a company must pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding if the eligible party has not been reimbursed for those expenses, and is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, or is substantially successful on the merits, in the outcome of the proceeding. The Business Corporations Act also provides that a company may pay, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding. However, a company must not make the payments referred to immediately above unless the company first receives from the eligible party a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited under the Business Corporations Act , the eligible party will repay the amounts advanced.

              For the purposes of the Business Corporations Act, an "eligible party", in relation to a company, means an individual who:

  (a)

is or was a director or officer of the company;

     
  (b)

is or was a director or officer of another corporation (i) at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the company, or (ii) at the request of the company; or

     
  (c)

at the request of the company, is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity,

and includes, with some exceptions, the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of that individual.

              An "eligible proceeding" under the Business Corporations Act is a proceeding in which an eligible party or any of the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party, by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the company or an associated corporation, is or may be joined as a party, or is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding. A "proceeding" includes any legal proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed.

              Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Business Corporations Act prohibits a company from indemnifying an eligible party or paying the expenses of an eligible party if any of the following circumstances apply:

  (a)

if the indemnity or payment is made under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time such agreement to indemnify or pay expenses was made, the company was prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or articles;

     
  (b)

if the indemnity or payment is made otherwise than under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that the indemnity or payment is made, the company is prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or articles;

- 28 -



  (c)

if, in relation to the subject matter of the eligible proceeding, the eligible party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company or the associated corporation, as the case may be; or

     
  (d)

in the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the eligible party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the eligible party's conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful.

              Additionally, if an eligible proceeding is brought against an eligible party by or on behalf of the company or an associated corporation, the company must not indemnify the eligible party or pay or advance the expenses of the eligible party in respect of the proceeding.

              Whether or not payment of expenses or indemnification has been sought, authorized or declined under the Business Corporations Act, section 164 of the Business Corporations Act provides that, on the application of a company or an eligible party, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may do one or more of the following:

  (a)

order a company to indemnify an eligible party against any liabilities incurred by the eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;

     
  (b)

order a company to pay some or all of the expenses incurred by an eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;

     
  (c)

order the enforcement of, or any payment under, an agreement of indemnification entered into by a company;

     
  (d)

order a company to pay some or all of the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any person in obtaining an order under section 164 of the Business Corporations Act; or

     
  (e)

make any other order the court considers appropriate.

             Section 165 of the Business Corporations Act provides that a company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of an eligible party or the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party against any liability that may be incurred by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the company or an associated corporation.

              The registrant's articles provide that the registrant must, subject to the Business Corporations Act, indemnify a director, former director, alternate director, officer or former officer of the registrant or of any affiliate of the registrant and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and the registrant must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. Each director, alternate director and officer of the registrant or any affiliate of the registrant is deemed to have contracted with the registrant on the above terms.

             The registrant's articles further provide that the registrant may, subject to any restrictions in the Business Corporations Act, indemnify any other person and that the failure of a director, alternate director or officer of the registrant to comply with the Business Corporations Act or the registrant's articles does not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled under the registrant's articles.

              The registrant is authorized by its articles to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person (or his or her heirs or legal personal representatives) including, but not limited to, any current or former directors, alternate directors, officers, employees or agents of the registrant or any affiliate of the registrant.

              The registrant maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage through a policy covering the registrant and its subsidiaries, which has an annual policy limit of CAD$20,000,000, subject to a corporate retention (i.e. deductible) of up to CAD$250,000 per claim, increased to CAD$500,000 in respect of securities claims. This insurance provides coverage for indemnity payments made by the registrant to its directors and officers as required or permitted by law for losses, including legal costs, incurred by directors and officers in their capacity as such. This policy also provides coverage directly to individual directors and officers if they are not indemnified by the registrant. The insurance coverage for directors and officers has customary exclusions, including, but not limited to, acts determined to be uninsurable under laws, or conduct arising out of, based upon, or attributable to, any remuneration, profit or other advantage to which the insured was not entitled to, or deliberate fraudulent or criminal act by the insured.

- 29 -


              The registrant is a party to an indemnity agreement with each of its directors providing that if such director or his or her heirs and personal or other legal representatives (collectively, the “indemnitee”) is or may be joined as a party or is liable in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative claim or action, including any claim for liability or any legal, regulatory or investigative action by any governmental or regulatory authority or any person, firm or corporation, by reason of the director acting or having acted in his or her capacities as:

  (a)

a director of the registrant, including as member of any committee; or

     
  (b)

as an officer; or

     
  (c)

as a director of any other entity to the extent that such person is serving in such capacity at the request of the registrant or if the entity is an affiliate of the registrant; or

     
  (d)

as an officer of any other entity to the extent that such person is serving in such capacity at the request of the registrant or if the entity is an affiliate of the registrant; or

     
  (e)

a position equivalent to that of a director or officer in a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity,

the registrant shall:

  (a)

indemnify and hold the indemnitee harmless for the full amount of any judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement, reasonably incurred; and

     
  (b)

pay all costs, charges and expenses, including all legal and other professional fees as well as all out- of-pocket expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee.

The registrant is not obligated to indemnify an indemnitee if:

  (a)

in relation to the subject matter of the proceeding, the director did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the registrant or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the director acted as a director or officer at the registrant's request; and

     
  (b)

in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, the director did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful;

provided, however, that in the absence of compelling evidence to the contrary, the director shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in the best interests of the registrant (or the best interests of the other entity, as the case may be).

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 10. Undertakings.

             The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

             (a)(1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

             (i)         To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

             (ii)        To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

             (iii)        To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

             provided, however , that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

             (2)         That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

             (3)         To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

             (4)         To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or Rule 3-19 of Regulation S-K if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into the registration statement.

- 31 -


             (5)         That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

             (i)         If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

                           (A)         Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

                           (B)         Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

             (ii)         If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however , that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

             (6)         That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

             (i)         any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

              (ii)         any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

              (iii)        the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

              (iv)        any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

- 32 -


              (b)         For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

              (c)         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. Matter No. V31431
838 – 1100 Melville Street  
Vancouver, BC V6E 4A6  

Dear Sirs:

Re:      Platinum Group Metals Ltd. - Registration Statement on Form F-3

We have acted as Canadian counsel to Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (the “ Company ”) in connection with the preparation and filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-3 to be filed on the date hereof (the “ Registration Statement ”), relating to offers and sales from time to time of up to US$199,000,000 of the Company’s common shares (the “ Common Shares ”), warrants to purchase Common Shares (the “ Warrants ”) and units that may be comprised of a combination of Common Shares and Warrants (the “ Units ” and, collectively with the Common Shares and Warrants, the “ Offered Securities ”).

The Registration Statement includes a prospectus (the “ Prospectus ”), which provides that it will be supplemented in the future by one or more prospectus supplements (each a “ Prospectus Supplement ”). The Warrants may be issued pursuant to warrant agreements or warrant indentures (each a “ Warrant Indenture ”) to be entered into between the Company and one or more banks or trust companies acting as warrant agent and the Warrants may be represented by certificates (each a “ Warrant Certificate ” and together with the Warrant Indenture, the “ Governing Warrant Documents ”). The Units may be issued pursuant to unit agreements (each a “ Unit Agreement ”).

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of:

  (a)

the Registration Statement;

     
  (b)

the Company’s notice of articles (the “ Notice of Articles ”), as in effect on the date hereof;

     
  (c)

the Company’s articles (together with the Notice of Articles, the “ Constating Documents ”), as in effect on the date hereof; and

     
  (d)

a copy of the resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors relating to the Registration Statement and other matters.

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers, or other representatives of the Company, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth herein.

Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP is a member of Gowling WLG, an international law firm which consists of independent and autonomous entities providing services around the world. Our structure is explained in more detail at gowlingwlg.com/legal.


In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic, electronic, or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. In making our examination of executed documents or documents which may be executed, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had or will have the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties, of such documents and that (except to the extent we have opined on such matters below) such documents constitute or will constitute valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto.

As to any facts material to the opinion expressed herein which we have not independently established or verified, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others. We have also assumed that, at the time of issuance of any Offered Securities:

  (a)

the Constating Documents and the Applicable Law (defined below) shall not have been amended so as to affect the validity of such issuance;

     
  (b)

the Registration Statement, as finally amended (including all necessary post-effective amendments), has become and remains effective under the Securities Act;

     
  (c)

an appropriate amended Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement with respect to the applicable Offered Securities has been prepared, delivered, and filed in compliance with the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder;

     
  (d)

all Offered Securities will be offered, issued and sold in compliance with applicable United States federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the appropriate Prospectus Supplement;

     
  (e)

the Offered Securities are issued in accordance with the terms of their governing instruments;

     
  (f)

any applicable Governing Warrant Document or Unit Agreement will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto, as applicable, and constitutes legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms;

     
  (g)

any Governing Warrant Document or any Unit Agreement is governed by British Columbia law; and

     
  (h)

if the Offered Securities are to be sold pursuant to a brokered offering, the underwriting, purchase or agency agreement with respect to the applicable Offered Securities will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto, and is a legally valid and binding obligation of the parties thereto.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein (the “ Applicable Law ”).

Page 2


Based and relying upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.

(a)

the issuance and sale of the Offered Common Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action in conformity with the Constating Documents (as then in effect), and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “ BCBCA ”) (as then in effect), and do not violate any Applicable Law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries and comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body of Canada or British Columbia having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

  (b)

the full consideration, determined to be adequate by the Company’s Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof), for the Offered Warrants has been received by the Company;

3.

With respect to any Units which may be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement (the “ Offered Units ”), when:

the terms, issuance and sale of the Offered Units, and performance under the Unit Agreement, if any, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, including the authorization of the issuance and reservation (if appropriate) of the Common Shares or Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Offered Units, as well as the Common Shares which may be issuable upon exercise of such Warrants, in conformity with the Constating Documents (as then in effect), and the BCBCA (as then in effect), and provided the issuance and sale does not violate any Applicable Law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries and comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body of Canada or British Columbia having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

     
  (b)

if certificated, the Warrant Certificates representing the Warrants to be issued as part of the Offered Units and, if certificated, the certificates representing the Common Shares to be issued as part of the Offered Units, have been duly executed, countersigned (if required) and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Unit Agreement, if any, to the purchasers thereof against payment of the agreed-upon consideration therefor in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus Supplement relating thereto;

     
  (c)

the full consideration, determined to be adequate by the Company’s Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereto), for the Offered Units has been received by the Company; and

     
  (d)

the Unit Agreement relating to the Offered Units, if any, has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by the Company,

the Offered Units will be validly issued and the Offered Units, Unit Agreement, if any, and the certificates representing Common Shares or Warrants , if any, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company; enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

Page 4


Insofar as our opinion in paragraphs 2 and 3 above relates to the legality, validity, binding nature or enforceability of the Warrant Certificate, Warrant Indenture, Offered Units and Unit Agreement, such opinion is subject to:

  (a)

any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, arrangement, winding up laws or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally including laws regarding limitations of action;

     
  (b)

general principles of equity, including the principle that the granting of equitable remedies such as specific performance and injunctive relief is within the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction;

     
  (c)

the powers of a court of competent jurisdiction to grant relief from forfeiture, to stay proceedings before it and to stay execution on judgments;

     
  (d)

the qualification that the costs of and incidental to all proceedings authorized to be taken in court are in the discretion of the court and the court has full power to determine by whom and to what extent such costs shall be paid;

     
  (e)

the qualification that rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by applicable law;

     
  (f)

the qualification that a court may require the discretionary powers expressed to be conferred on any party to such agreement or certificate to be exercised reasonably and in good faith notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary and may decline to accept as conclusive factual or legal determinations described as conclusive therein;

     
  (g)

the qualification that any provision in such agreement or certificate which purports to sever from such agreement or certificate, as the case may be, any provision therein which is prohibited or unenforceable under applicable law without affecting the validity of the remainder of the agreement or certificate, as the case may be, would be enforced only to the extent that the court determined that such prohibited or unenforceable provision could be severed without impairing the interpretation and application of the remainder of the agreement or certificate, as the case may be;

     
  (h)

the qualification that any provision in such agreement or certificate which purports to exculpate a party from liability or duty otherwise owed by it to another and certain remedial terms and waivers of equitable defences provided for in such agreement or certificate are limited by law; and

     
  (i)

the qualification as to the enforceability of any provision in such agreement or certificate which purports to contract out of, vary or exclude the provisions of the Limitation Act (British Columbia).

This opinion has been prepared for your use in connection with the Registration Statement and is expressed as of the date hereof.
