SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ON NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES:

(i)      During the year ended August 31, 2006, the Company issued 25,000 common shares with a value of $40,000 in connection with the acquisition of mineral properties.
 
(ii)      During the year ended August 31, 2005, the Company issued 25,000 common shares with a value of $28,000 in connection with the acquisition of mineral properties.
 
(iii)      During the year ended August 31, 2005 the Company acquired 1,407,069 shares of Active Gold Group Ltd. (Active Gold") from six of Active Gold's founding shareholders, all of whom are at arm's length to the Company, in exchange for 399,999 shares of Sydney Resource Corporation, paid from the Company's holdings of that security. In September 2006, Sydney Resource Corporation was reorganized and named West Timmins Mining Inc. As Active Gold is estimated to have nominal value, the tranaction was entered into for the purpose of preserving existing business relationships. The Company therefore recorded the exchange as an expense.
 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ON CASH FLOWS:
No interest or income tax expenses were paid during the periods disclosed.

Platinum Group Metals Ltd.

(An exploration stage company)

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

November 30, 2006 and 2005



1.

CONTINUING OPERATIONS


The Company is a British Columbia corporation incorporated on February 18, 2002 by an order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving an amalgamation between Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (“Old Platinum”) and New Millennium Metals Corporation (“New Millennium”).  The Company is an exploration company conducting work on mineral properties it has staked or acquired by way of option agreements principally in Ontario, Canada and the Republic of South Africa. The Company has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company defers all acquisition, exploration and development costs related to mineral properties. The recoverability of these amounts is dependant upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of the property, and future profitable production, or alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis.


These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses from inception and does not currently have the financial resources to sustain operations in the long-term. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability in the future to achieve profitable operations and, in the meantime, to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. External financing, predominately by the issuance of equity to the public, will be sought to finance the operations of the Company; however, there is no assurance that sufficient funds can or will be raised.


These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis was not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then significant adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.



2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) and include the significant policies outlined below. These policies conform, in all material respects, with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), except as described in Note 15 of the Company’s annual audited financial statements.


(a)

Basis of Presentation and principles of consolidation

The financial statements of entities which are controlled by the Company through voting equity interest, referred to as subsidiaries, are consolidated. Variable interest entities (“VIEs”), which include, but are not limited to, special purpose entities, trusts, partnerships and other legal structures, as defined by the Accounting Standards Board in Accounting Guideline 15, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, are entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a “controlling financial interest”

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


(a)

Basis of Presentation and principles of consolidation (continued)


or there is not sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. VIEs are subject to consolidation by the primary beneficiary who will absorb the majority of the entities’ expected losses and/or residual returns.


These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Platinum Group Metals (RSA) (PTY) Ltd. (“PTM RSA”). PTM RSA holds mineral rights and conducts operations in the Republic of South Africa. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.


The Company’s 37% working interest in the Western Bushveld Joint Venture (Note 5) is recorded using the equity method.


(b)

Mineral properties and deferred exploration costs


Mineral properties consist of exploration and mining concessions, options and contracts.  Acquisition and leasehold costs and exploration costs are capitalized until such time as the property is put into production or disposed of either through sale or abandonment. The estimated values of all properties are assessed by management on a quarterly basis and if the carrying values exceed estimated recoverable values, then the properties are written down to fair value. If put into production, the costs of acquisition and exploration will be amortized over the life of the property based on the estimated economic reserves. Proceeds received from the sale of any interest in a property will first be credited against the carrying value of the property, with any excess included in operations for the period. If a property is abandoned, the property and deferred exploration costs are written off to operations.


(c)

Cash and cash equivalents


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


(d)

Marketable securities and investments


Marketable securities are recorded at the lower of cost or market value.


Investments where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, generally where the Company has a 20% to 50% equity interest, are accounted for using the equity method.  Under this method, the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses is included in operations and its investments therein are adjusted by a like amount.  Dividends received from these investments are credited to the investment accounts.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


(d)

Marketable securities and investments (continued)


Other long-term investments are accounted for using the cost method, whereby income is included in operations when received or receivable.  


Provisions for impairment of long term investments are made, where necessary, to recognize other than temporary declines in value.  


(e)

Fixed assets


Fixed assets are recorded at cost and are amortized on the declining balance basis at the following annual rates:


Computer equipment

30%

Computer software

30%

Office furniture and equipment

20%


(f)

Stock-based compensation


Effective September 1, 2004, the Company adopted the amended recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Section 3870, Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments.  Under the amended standards of this section, the fair value of all stock-based awards granted are estimated using the Black-Scholes model and are recorded in operations over their vesting periods.  The compensation cost related to stock options granted is recorded in operations.


Please refer to Note 8 (c) for a summary of stock options granted in the current period and the related valuation assumptions.


(g)

Earnings (loss) per common share


Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding contingently returnable shares held in escrow.


The Company uses the treasury stock method for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares arising upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, or the return of contingently returnable shares, but are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


(h)

Income taxes


Future income taxes relate to the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax values. Future tax assets, if any, are recognized only to the extent that, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the future income tax assets will be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment or substantive enactment.



(i)

Financial instruments


The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and capital lease obligation reflected in the balance sheet approximate their respective carrying values. The fair value of marketable securities is disclosed on the balance sheet.

Price risk is the risk that the value of the Company’s financial instruments will vary from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.


(j)

Measurement Uncertainty


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenditures during the reporting period. Significant items where management’s judgement is applied include provisions for loss on and the estimated recoverable amount of assets, depreciation, income tax provisions, contingent liabilities, stock compensation and asset retirement obligations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


(k)

Reclamation and closure costs


The Company recognizes the estimated fair value of liabilities for asset retirement obligations including reclamation and closure costs in the period in which they are incurred. A corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related asset is recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset. The amount of the liability is subject to re-measurement at each reporting period and is accreted over time to the estimated asset retirement obligation ultimately payable through charges to operations.


The estimates are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. It is possible that the Company’s estimates of its ultimate reclamation and closure liabilities could change as a result of changes in regulations, the extent of environmental remediation required, changes in technology and the means and cost of reclamation.

INVESTMENTS


(a)

MAG Silver Corporation


In 2003 the Company earned a finders’ fee of 200,000 shares of MAG Silver Corporation (“MAG”), a company with one director and one officer in common with the Company, with an assigned value of $0.50 per share for introducing MAG to certain individuals and mineral properties located in Mexico. During 2003 the Company sold 100,000 of these shares for proceeds of $67,630. The remaining 100,000 MAG shares owned by the Company had a market value of $480,000 at November 30, 2006 and are included in marketable securities.


(b)

West Timmins Mining Inc.


In 2002 New Millennium granted Sydney Resource Corporation (“SYR”), a company with two directors in common with the Company, an option to earn a 50% interest in New Millennium’s 100% owned Simlock Creek gold project, located in the Cariboo Mining District of British Columbia.  On December 2, 2003 the Company and SYR agreed to terminate the Option and the Company then sold the property to SYR outright in exchange for 1,200,000 shares of SYR at a value of $0.20 per share.  At August 31, 2006 the Company held 800,001 SYR shares with an aggregate cost of $160,000. Market value for these 800,001 shares at November 30, 2006 was $408,000. The shares are included in marketable securities.  SYR was reorganized and named West Timmins Mining Inc. on September 14, 2006.

From inception of the joint venture to November 30, 2006 there have been no material earnings or losses as all activities of the joint venture have been in connection with acquiring mineral rights and exploring the properties for minerals.


On October 26, 2004 the Company entered into a joint venture with Anglo American Platinum Corporation Limited and Africa Wide Mineral Prospecting and Exploration (Pty) Limited (the “WBJV”) to pursue platinum exploration and development on combined mineral rights covering 67 square kilometres on the Western Bushveld Complex of South Africa.  The transaction closed effective January 26, 2005. The Company contributed all of its interests in portions of the farms Onderstepoort 98JQ and Elandsfontein 102JQ (see (ii) (1) and (ii) (2) below). Anglo Platinum contributed its interests in portions of the farms Koedoesfontein 94JQ, Elandsfontein 102JQ and Frischgewaagd 96JQ. The Company and Anglo Platinum will each own an initial 37% working interest in the WBJV, while Africa Wide will own an initial 26% working interest. Africa Wide will work with local community groups in order to facilitate their inclusion in the economic benefits of the WBJV in areas such as training, job creation and procurement.

5.

Investment in Western Bushveld Joint Venture (the “WBJV”) (continued)


The Company was required to operate and fund an exploration program in the amount of Rand 35 million (Cdn$6.44 million at August 31, 2005) over five years in order to earn its 37% interest in WBJV. As of April 2006 this requirement had been completed. After Rand 35 million in expenditures were funded by PTM, the parties are required to fund their portion of further expenditures in excess of Rand 35 million pro-rata based on their working interest in the WBJV.


Once a bankable feasibility study has been completed, the respective deemed capital contribution of each party will be credited by adding their contribution of measured, indicated, and inferred PGE ounces from the contributed properties comprising the WBJV, determined in accordance with the South African SAMREC code.  Inferred ounces will be credited at US$0.50 per ounce, indicated ounces will be credited at US$3.20 per ounce and measured ounces will be credited at US$6.20 per ounce. Each party will then have the opportunity to contribute additional capital in order to catch up any resulting shortfall in their contributed capital and thereby maintain their respective working interest in the JV. Should a party not wish to participate, the JV agreement provides a mechanism whereby the parties may elect to become “non-contributory” to the JV and by doing so they would be subject to dilution.


The Company has concluded that it has significant influence over the operations of WBJV but not joint control and is therefore recording the investment using the equity method.


The initial exchange of the Company’s pre-existing interests in the Elandsfontein and Onderstepoort properties for the interest in WBJV has been recorded at cost as it represents a non-monetary exchange.  The balance paid to date under the Company’s commitment to spend up to Rand 35 million in exploration costs has also been recorded as a cost of the investment.


Prior to August 31, 2006 the Company and WBJV participants Anglo Platinum Limited and Africa Wide Mining had approved a 2006 cash budget for the WBJV totaling Rand 29,712,200 (approximately Cdn $4.59 million at August 31, 2006).  Each party is to fund their pro-rata share of the approved budget by way of three separate cash calls.  At November 30, 2006 Anglo Platinum had an unspent contribution balance of Rand 6,532,316 (C$1,041,904) which will be used to fund their pro-rata share of further expenditures on the WBJV.  At August 31, 2006 Africa Wide was due to contribute Rand 7,226,533, which amount was still outstanding at January 10, 2007. This amount is not recorded as a receivable by the Company. Africa Wide is working to complete its own financing at the time of writing. The joint venture does not maintain separate records and all receipts, disbursements and net assets excluding property contributed by other venturer’s are recorded in the records of and disbursed by the Company on behalf of the joint venture. Of the $1,031,702 in accounts payable at November 30, 2006, an amount of $750,000 (approximately Rand 4.7 million) was incurred on behalf of the WBJV.


As a result, effective May 31, 2006 the Company concluded that the functional currency of WBJV was now the South African Rand as expenditures in the WBJV were principally being incurred in Rand and funded by advances from the venturer’s which were denominated in Rand. The Company therefore considers its equity investment in the WBJV to be self sustaining and it translates it’s share of net equity of WBJV using the current rate method with translation gains and losses included in cumulative translation adjustment as a separate component of shareholder equity.

Investment in Western Bushveld Joint Venture (the “WBJV”) (continued)


(a)

Elandsfontein interest


In December 2002 the Company acquired an option to purchase 100% of the surface and mineral rights to 365.64 hectares of the farm Elandsfontein 102 JQ located in the Western Bushveld area. The Company made an initial payment to the Vendors of Rand 150,000 (approx. C$29,500) and agreed to terms for the purchase of both mineral and surface rights.


The Company exercised its option to purchase the Elandsfontein property by way of written notice on June 26, 2003. A dispute arose with the Vendors as to the purchase price and the matter was referred for Expert Determination as provided for in the option agreement.


In 2005 the Company and the Vendors reached agreement whereby the Company purchased all surface and mineral rights to the property in exchange for Rand 7.0 million. In September 2005 the Company was granted a “New Order” prospecting permit under the new Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (2002) over the Elandsfontein property.


(b)

Onderstepoort interest


During 2003 the Company entered into three option agreements to acquire mineral rights on seven portions comprising approximately 1085 hectares of the farm Onderstepoort 98 JQ located in the Western Bushveld. The Company may earn 100% of the mineral rights over 647 hectares and 50% of the mineral rights over the balance of 438 hectares. To earn its interests the Company must make aggregate prospecting and option payments over time to the vendors of Rand 12.44 million (approximately C$2.24 million) ending April 2008.  Of this amount Rand 834,000 has been paid.  During 2004 the Company was granted Old Order prospecting permits on five portions of the farm.  In 2005 the Company was granted New Order prospecting permits on the remaining two farm portions. Certain portions covering 569 ha are subject to the vendors right to participate as to a 7.5% working interest, or to convert 1% NSR royalty, which the Company may buy-back for Rand 5,000,000 (approximately C $900,000).

Republic of South Africa


(i)

War Springs and Tweespalk


On June 3, 2002, the Company entered an option agreement whereby it may earn a 100% interest in the 2,396 hectare War Springs property and the 2,177 hectare Tweespalk property both located in the Northern Limb or Platreef area of the Bushveld Complex north of Johannesburg. Acquisition and exploration costs on these properties to November 30, 2006 total $3,048,206 (August 31, 2006 - $3,037,933).

 

The Company may purchase 100% of these mineral rights at any time within three years from the grant of a prospecting permit on each property for US$475 per hectare in year one, or US$570 per hectare in year two, or US$690 per hectare in year three. The Company must also pay prospecting fees to the vendors of US$2.50 per hectare in year one, US$2.75 per hectare in year two and US$3.25 per hectare in year three. Old Order prospecting permits were granted to the Company in August 2003 for the Tweespalk property and February 2004 for the War Springs property. The vendors retain a 1% NSR Royalty on the property, subject to the Company’s right to purchase the NSR at any time for US$1.4 million. A 5% finders’ fee applies to vendor payments.


Under the new Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (2002), which became effective in May 2004, Old Order permits must be converted into New Order permits during a transition period.  This process is underway for the War Springs and Tweespalk properties.  The June 3, 2002 option agreement provides for amendments as may be needed to maintain the parties in the same commercial position as they were in under the preceding mineral legislation and such amendments are yet to be completed.


Black Economic Empowerment groups Africa Wide Mineral Prospecting and Exploration (Pty) Limited and Taung Minerals (Pty) Ltd. each have been granted a 15% interest in the War Springs project carried to bankable feasibility.  The Company’s retains a net 70% project interest.


Africa Wide also has a 30% participating interest in the Tweespalk property.  The Company has not recorded a receivable for Africa Wide’s share of costs to date, which at November 30, 2006 are calculated to be $253,857 (August 31, 2006 - $253,783).  The Company expects that Africa Wide will be able to fund their share of costs in the future and amounts recovered from Africa Wide will be treated as a reduction of costs relating to the Tweespalk property.

(i)

Agnew Lake


The Company has earned a 99% interest in certain claims located near Sudbury, Ontario known as the Agnew Lake property subject to a 2% royalty interest payable to the original vendor. The Company optioned the Agnew Lake property to Pacific Northwest Capital Corporation (“PFN”) on June 18, 2000. On June 22, 2001, the Company and PFN optioned their property interests to Kaymin Resources Limited (“Kaymin”), a subsidiary of Anglo American Platinum Corporation Limited. At August 31, 2004, the Company had directly performed $512,265 worth of exploration work and caused further work of approximately $3,140,805 to be performed through the joint venture arrangement with PFN and Kaymin.  At August 31, 2005 the project was not active and the Company wrote off its remaining investment in the property amounting to $276,852. Kaymin has vested as to a 26.17% interest in the property in accordance with the terms of their option agreement.  PFN has terminated their option on the property and retains no working interest.


(ii)

Lakemount


On November 6, 2003 the Company acquired an option to earn up to a 62% interest in the 3,017 hectare Lakemount property located near Wawa, Ontario. The Company could earn up to a 51% undivided property interest by completing $2.5 million in exploration and development expenditures ($1,098,649 incurred to August 31, 2006) and by making staged payments totalling $150,000 ($75,000 paid) and 150,000 common shares (50,000 issued) by December 31, 2008. The Company could also purchase an additional 11% interest in the property by making a payment of $3.3 million to an underlying holder from whom the property vendor had acquired their rights.


During the period the Company requested that the underlying holder to the property correct several title or contractual deficiencies relating to the Company’s right to acquire certain properties adjacent to the main Lakemount property.  The underlying holder was unwilling or unable to correct these deficiencies.  By agreement with the vendor the Company chose to suspend any further option payments to the vendor until the matter was resolved to its satisfaction.  The vendor then chose to withhold their required payments to the underlying holder, who then chose to provide termination notice to the vendor who had optioned the project to the Company.  Exploration results on the project to date have been of interest, but in light of the deficiencies and complex title chain, Company has chosen not to pursue the matter and has abandoned the project.  Deferred acquisition and exploration costs relating to the project in the amount of $1,323,222 have been written off.

Lac des Iles River


On May 5, 2000, New Millennium entered into an option agreement to acquire a 50% interest in the Lac des Iles River property in exchange for payments of $38,500 over three years (paid) and the completion of exploration expenditures in the amount of $1,000,000 over five years, $548,952 of which has been incurred to August 31, 2006. The option agreement was amended January 27, 2005 to allow the Company an additional three years, to May 5, 2008, to meet its exploration commitments in exchange for making annual cash payments of $5,000 to May 5, 2008 and undertaking a minimum of $50,000 in annual exploration expenditures.


On October 6, 2006, the Company and the property vendors entered into a termination and sale agreement whereby the option agreement as amended was cancelled and the Company purchased an undivided 100% interest in the property subject only to an underlying 1.0% Net Smelter Return Royalty granted to an underlying vendor. The Company also granted the property vendors an additional 1.0% Net Smelter Return Royalty, with buy back provisions for the Company, on the same terms and conditions as that for the underlying royalty and made a one-time payment of $50,000 in lieu of past and future exploration expenditure commitments not incurred.


 (iv)

South Legris


In April 2000 the Company acquired an option to earn a 50% interest in 261 mineral claims located near Thunder Bay, Ontario known as the South Legris property in exchange for cash payments of $98,300 (paid) and the expenditure of $1,000,000 ($492,330 incurred) in exploration expenditures within 5 years of the date of the agreement. The Company terminated the option in 2004 and $587,369 in deferred costs related to the property were written off at August 31, 2004. The South Legris Option Agreement was later amended on January 27th, 2005 to allow the Company an additional three years to meet its exploration commitments in exchange for making annual cash payments of $5,000 to April 10, 2008 and undertaking a minimum of $50,000 in annual exploration expenditures.


On October 13, 2006, the Company and the property vendors entered into a termination and sale agreement whereby the option agreement as amended was cancelled and the Company purchased an undivided 100% interest in the property subject only to an underlying 1.0% Net Smelter Return Royalty granted to an underlying vendor. The Company also granted the property vendors an additional 1.0% Net Smelter Return Royalty, with buy back provisions for the Company, on the same terms and conditions as that for the underlying royalty and made a one-time payment of $50,000 in lieu of past and future exploration expenditure commitments not incurred.

The property is subject to an underlying 3% NSR Royalty, from which the Company may buy-back 2.0% at a price of $500,000 per one-half percentage point bought back. The Company terminated the Moss Lake option as of August 31, 2006 resulting in a write-off of $158,855.

Seagull


On September 24, 2004 the Company acquired an option to earn up to a 70% interest in the Seagull property located in the Nipigon region of Ontario. The Company could earn an initial 50% property interest by completing certain exploration expenditures and cash payments over 5 years.  The Company could earn an additional 20% property interest by completing a bankable feasibility study and providing or arranging production financing.

To August 31, 2006 the Company had incurred costs of $565,869 and elected under the option agreement to form a 50/50 joint venture with the property vendor.  Amounts already spent by the Company in excess of $500,000 where repayable to the Company by the property vendor, or would be applied to dilute the vendor’s working interest in the property.


On October 18, 2006, the Company and the property vendor entered into a termination and sale agreement whereby the option agreement was cancelled and the Company purchased an undivided 100% interest in the property for a one-time payment of $5,000 subject only to an underlying 2.0% Net Smelter Return Royalty, of which the Company may buy back one half for $500,000.
