Platinum Group Metals Ltd. Announces

Non-Brokered Private Placement

(Vancouver/Johannesburg) Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (PTM:TSX; PLG:NYSE American)

(“Platinum Group ” or the “ Company”) reports that it intends, subject to regulatory

approval, to sell 2,118,645 common shares of the Company at price of US$1.18 each for

gross proceeds of approximately US$2.5 million (the “Private Placement”) to existing major

beneficial shareholder, Hosken Consolidated Investments Limited (“HCI”).

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for its share of pre-

development costs on the Waterberg Project in South Africa, and for general corporate and

working capital purposes. Closing of the Private Placement is subject to customary closing

conditions, including stock exchange approvals and completion of the definitive agreement.

Pricing of the Private Placement represents a 4.54% discount to the five-day volume weighted

average trading price of the Company’s shares on the NYSE American stock exchange as of

September 7, 2023. The Private Placement will allow HCI to return to a near 27% interest in

the Company.

Securities purchased pursuant to the Private Placement may not be traded for a period of four

months plus one day from the closing of the Private Placement. The securities described herein

have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the

“Act”), as amended, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the

account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the

registration requirements of such Act.

HCI is a “related party” of the Company (as defined by Multilateral Instrument 61 -101 -

Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (" MI 61 -101")) and the

Company intends to rely on the exemptions from both the formal valuation requirement and

the minority shareholder approval requirement under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a),

respectively, of MI 61 -101, on the basis that neither the fair market va lue of the subject

matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transact ion, insofar as it

involves HCI, exceeds 25 per cent of the Company's market capitalization calculated in

accordance with MI 61-101. The Company will not have filed a material change report more

than 21 days before the expected closing date of the above transaction as it has negotiated

the above transaction on an expedited basis.
