DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

The annual information form (AIF) of Platinum Group Metals
Ltd. (the Registrant or the Company) for the fiscal year ended August 31,
2016 is incorporated herein by reference.

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as
of and for the years ended August 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015, including the
report of the auditors with respect thereto, are incorporated herein by
reference (the Financial Statements).

The Companys managements discussion and analysis (MD&A)
for the year ended August 31, 2016 is incorporated herein by reference.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Company is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its annual
report pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act on Form 40-F. The Company is a
foreign private issuer as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act.
Accordingly, the Companys equity securities are exempt from Sections 14(a),
14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3.

The Company is permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional
disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this annual report on
Form 40-F in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are
different from those of the United States.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements concerning
anticipated developments in the operations of the Company in future periods,
planned exploration and development activities, the adequacy of the Companys
financial resources and other events or conditions that may occur in the future.
Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always, identified by words
such as expects, anticipates, believes, intends, estimates,
potential, possible and similar expressions, or statements that events,
conditions or results will, may, could or should occur or be achieved.
Information concerning the interpretation of drill results and mineral resource
or reserve estimates also may be deemed to be forward-looking statements, as
such information constitutes a prediction of what mineralization might be found
to be present if and when a project is actually developed. Forward-looking
statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and
actual achievements of the Company or other future events or conditions may
differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements due to
a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, without
limitation, those described in the AIF incorporated by reference in this report.

The Companys forward-looking statements are based on the
beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are
made and the Company assumes no obligation to update such forward-looking
statements in the future. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International
Financial Accounting Boards, and they may be subject to Canadian auditing and
auditor independence standards. Accordingly, the Financial Statements of the
Company incorporated by reference in this report may not be comparable to
financial statements of United States companies.

NYSE MKT CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Companys common shares are listed for trading on the NYSE

certain NYSE MKT listing criteria, and to grant exemptions from NYSE MKT listing
criteria based on these considerations. A company seeking relief under these
provisions is required to provide written certification from independent local
counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by home country law. A
description of the significant ways in which the Companys governance practices
differ from those followed by domestic companies pursuant to NYSE MKT standards
is provided on the Companys website at platinumgroupmetals.net.
