Platinum Group Metals Ltd. is based in Vancouver, BC, Canada and Johannesburg, South Africa. Platinum Group has a solid management team with successful track records of more than 20 years in exploration, mine discovery, mine construction and mine operations.

The Company was formed in 2000 and is focused on the development of platinum operations. It holds significant mineral rights in the Bushveld Igneous Complex of South Africa, host to 80% of the World's platinum production. View a demonstration of how the Bushveld was formed.

The Company is focused on moving its first, high-grade, near-surface Western Bushveld Joint Venture (WBJV) platinum deposit to production - Project 1. A positive Final Feasibility Study for the Project 1 platinum mine was published on July 7, 2008.

Subject to regulatory and other approvals and the completion of definitive agreements Platinum Group will have a 74% ownership of Project 1 under the restructuring announced September 2nd.

Platinum Group also holds a 100 square kilometre position in the Sable Joint Venture adjoining a recent Xstrata takeover land position.

Famed investor George Soros' Soros Fund Management disclosed a couple updates to positions Monday. After a flurry of stock activity on Oct. 22, the fund disclosed holdings of 15.5 million shares, or a 9.7% stake, in Platinum Group Metals Ltd., a mining firm based in Vancouver, Canada and Johannesburg, South Africa. According to FactSet Lionshares, Soros had a 1.5 million-share stake in the firm at the end of June



WATERBERG

The Waterberg project is located north of the known North Limb of the Bushveld Complex. This extension of the Bushveld was discovered in 2011 by Platinum Group Metals after execution of a drilling program, through the covering Waterberg sedimentary rock package, guided by geophysics and soil sampling.

An initial 6.6 million ounce 3E (Platinum, Palladium and Gold) inferred mineral resource estimate for the newly discovered deposit was announced on September 5th, 2012 (see details at www.sedar.com). The inferred mineral resource estimate includes both "T" and "F" mineralized layers. The most important layers are the 3 to 6 metre thick "T1" and "T2" layers. The T layers are very well correlated in terms of geochemical markers and lithology and have a characteristic metal split of approximately 48% Palladium, 29% Platinum and 23% Gold. Within the "F" layer are two sub-layers which are approximately 5.27 metres thick on average, having an approximate metal split of 63% Palladium and 33% Platinum with 4% Gold. The resource considers the first 16 holes of 34 holes completed.

On September 17th 2012, the Company announced the new discovery area of layered mineralization had been significantly explanded outside of the declared inferred resources of 6.6 million ounces. The initial resource covers a strike length of 1.8 kilometres on the T layers and 2.8 kilometers on the "F" layers. Intercepts have been made on the T1 and T2 layers that expand the area for approximately 1.5 kilometers northeast from the initial resource area and on the "FH" and "FP" the layers new intercepts have also expanded this area for approximately 2.5 kilometers.

Exploration Potential and Plans

Waterberg is Extraordinary Because:

  • It is a discovery of a new section of the Bushveld Complex - the complex is a geological wonder of the world.
  • The Waterberg deposit has grade thickness that exceeds many of the world's platinum mines.
  • The deposit comes within 100m of a surface at a time when deep shafts are the norm.
  • The deposit is open along strike, drilling has recently doubled its size beyond the initial resource and it is still open.
  • The basket metal price for T1 and T2 reefs is attractive and high in gold.

History of the Waterberg Discovery

How Could this Happen?

In 2009, Platinum Group Metals filed prospecting permits by application covering 137 square kilometers of the north end of the known North Limb of the Bushveld Complex. The idea for the acquisition of the claims came from the formation of a "New Business Unit" in 2007. Top South African academic and industry geologists were retained on a consulting basis with the specific tas
