Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Quarterly Report as at: May 31, 2004



1.

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The Company was incorporated on February 18, 2002 by an order by the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving an amalgamation by plan of arrangement between Platinum Group Metals Ltd. ("Old Platinum") and New Millennium Metals Corporation ("New Millennium").  Old Platinum was incorporated on January 10, 2000 as 599141 B.C. Ltd. and changed its name to Platinum Group Metals Ltd. on March 16, 2000, at which time it commenced operations.  New Millennium Metals Corporation was incorporated in British Columbia on March 11, 1983 under the name Harvey Creek Gold Placers Ltd. and later renamed New Millennium Metals Corporation.  As a result of the amalgamation both New Millennium and Old Platinum ceased to exist as of February 18, 2002.  However, as a result of the amalgamation, a new company also named Platinum Group Metals Ltd. was formed as of February 18, 2002 and it assumed all of the rights and obligations of the two predecessor corporations.  As described in Note 3, Old Platinum was identified as the acquirer and the business combination was recorded as a purchase of New Millennium by Old Platinum.


The Company is an exploration company conducting work on mineral properties it has staked or acquired by way of option agreements principally in Ontario 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 existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of the property, and any 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 on a going concern basis, 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 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.


Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Quarterly Report as at: May 31, 2004





2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP") and include the following significant policies outlined below.  


(a)

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary.  During 2002, the Company formed a 100% South African subsidiary named Platinum Group Metals (RSA) (PTY) Ltd. for the purposes of holding mineral rights and conducting operations on behalf of the Company in the Republic of South Africa.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.


(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 and deferred until such time as the property is put into production or the properties are disposed of either through sale or abandonment. The estimated value of all properties are assessed by management on a continual basis and if the carrying value exceeds estimated recoverable values, then these costs are written down to the estimated recoverable values. If put into production, the costs of acquisition and exploration will be written off 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 will be written off to operations.


In March 2000, the Accounting Standards Board of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") issued Accounting Guideline No. 11 entitled Enterprises in the Development Stage - ("AcG 11"). The guideline addresses three distinct issues including (i) capitalization of costs/expenditures, (ii) impairment and (iii) disclosure. The Emerging Issues Committee issued Abstract 126, Accounting by Mining Enterprises for Exploration Costs, which provided further guidance on AcG 11. Abstract 126 concluded that a mining enterprise that has not commenced operations or objectively established mineral reserves is not precluded from considering exploration costs to have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment. The Company has reviewed and determined that implementation of this Abstract has no material effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.


(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

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




PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Quarterly Report as at: May 31, 2004







(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 plan

The Company has adopted the recommendations of the new CICA Handbook section 3870, Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments, effective September 1, 2002.  This section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments made in exchange for good and services. The standard requires that all stock-based awards made to non-employees be measured and recognized using a fair value based method. The standard encourages the use of a fair value based method for all awards granted to employees, but only requires the use of a fair value based method for direct awards of stock, stock appreciation rights, and awards that call for settlement in cash or other assets. Awards that a company has the ability to settle in stock are recorded as equity, whereas awards that the entity is required to or has a practice of settling in cash are recorded as liabilities. For stock options granted to employees and directors, the Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions whereby pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements as if the fair value based method of accounting had been used.


Compensation expense is recognized when stock options are issued to employees and directors for the excess, if any, of the quoted market price at the date of grant over the exercise price. Any consideration paid by employees and directors on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital.


Compensation expense is determined when stock options are issued to non-employees and is recognized over the vesting period of the option. The compensation expense is determined as the fair value of the option at the date of grant using an option-pricing model.


(g)

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.


(h)

Earnings (loss) per common share

Basic earnings per share calculations are based on 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 upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, but are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.



PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Quarterly Report as at: May 31, 2004








(i)

Financial instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, performance bonds, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflected in the balance sheet approximate their respective fair values.


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)

Use of estimates

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 revenues and expenditures during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those reported.

INVESTMENT IN ACTIVE GOLD GROUP LTD.

Active Gold Group Ltd. ("AGG ") was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act with one share issued to Platinum Group Metals Ltd. on June 11, 2002. In August 2002 AGG acquired 100% of a private corporation in the Republic of South Africa and re-named it Active Gold Group RSA (Pty) Limited ("AGG RSA"). In 2003 the Company and commercial investors subscribed for common shares of AGG. The Company acquired 1,461,905 shares of AGG Canada at a cost of $160,327 and now owns 26.79% of AGG.


AGG RSA attempted to acquire and permit the 5,000 hectare Rooderand Gold Project in South Africa located near the town of Potchefstroom in the central Witwatersrand Basin. AGG shares common directors and officers with the Platinum Group Metals Ltd. The Company advanced working capital to AGG on commercial terms in the normal course of business during 2003.

AGG RSA failed to achieve a permit for Rooderand and has therefore abandoned the project. The Company has written off its investment in and advances to AGG after realizing an equity loss from the activities of AGG. A summary of the Company's investment in and advances to AGG follows:

Quarterly Report as at: May 31, 2004




The Company optioned the Agnew Lake property to PFN on June 18, 2000.  PFN may acquire 50% of the Company's rights and interests in Agnew Property by issuing 50,000 shares to the Company, (which have been received), making cash payments to the Company totalling $200,000 over four years, (of which $145,000 has been received) and completing $500,000 in exploration over four years. In the event that PFN does not incur the required $500,000 in exploration expenses on its own account, they may exercise their option by payment to the Company of any remaining unspent balance in PFN common shares.


In 2001, The Company and PFN agreed to amend the Agnew Lake Option Agreement so that PFN will make annual payments of 75,000 PFN shares towards the exercise of their option. It was agreed that these shares not be valued at less than $0.60 per share for the purpose of exercising PFN's option. To date, the Company has received three payments of 75,000 PFN shares towards the exercise of PFN's option.  PFN is the project operator and will be responsible for completion of all assessment and filing requirements as long as it remains operator.


On June 22, 2001, The Company and PFN optioned their interests in the property to Kaymin Resources Limited ("Kaymin"). Kaymin may acquire a 50% interest in the combined rights and interests of The Company and PFN by making cash payments of $200,000 to each party (which have been received) and incurring exploration expenditures of not less than $6,000,000 by December 31, 2005 (revised). Kaymin can earn an additional 10% interest by completing a bankable feasibility study and arranging financing for any development or construction.


On November 1, 2001, The Company and PFN entered into an option agreement with ProAm Explorations Corporation to acquire a 100% interest in three additional claims adjacent to the Agnew Lake property by making cash payments of $30,000, ($11,500 paid), issuing 29,090 shares of the Company, (all of which have been issued) and the issue of 21,000 shares of PFN over two years and completing $400,000 in exploration expenditures over a four-year period. Under the terms of the agreement, these claims become part of the Agnew Lake property and are subject to the PFN and Kaymin option agreements existing on that property. The claims are subject to a 2.5% NSR royalty.


(ii)

Pebble

Pursuant to an agreement dated March 30, 2000, the Company acquired an option to earn a 51% interest in 96 mineral claims located near Thunder Bay, Ontario known as the Pebble property in exchange for cash payments of $34,000 (of which $24,000 has been paid) and the expenditure of $500,000 in exploration within 5 years from the date of the agreement. The Company was originally obligated to pay $5,000 (paid) and incur $100,000 ($108,762 incurred) in exploration expenditures prior to March 30, 2001 in order to keep the option in good standing. The Company can earn an additional 9% interest in the property by completing a feasibility study within 36 months of earning the 51% interest described above.

South Legris

Pursuant to an April 2000 agreement, 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 (all of which has been paid) and the expenditure of $1,000,000 ($491,908 incurred) in exploration expenditures within 5 years of the date of the agreement. The Company also has an option to acquire an additional 10% interest by completing a feasibility study within 36 months of earning the 50% interest described above.


(iv)

Shelby Lake

On June 28, 2000, the Company entered an option agreement to earn up to 60% interest in the Shelby Lake property in the Lac des Iles area in Ontario. To earn a 50% interest the Company is required to make cash payments to the optionor of $10,000 by September 28, 2000 (which have been paid), issue 30,303 shares to the optionor (which have been issued) and complete $500,000 in exploration expenditures over a four-year period, $560,902 of which has been incurred to May 31, 2004 (August 31, 2003 - $422,884)


The Company may earn a further 10% interest, for a total of 60%, by expending a further $500,000 over an additional 30-month period. The property is subject to a 2% NSR royalty, of which the Company can purchase back one half for $500,000.


(v)

Taman Lake Project

Pursuant to option agreements dated February 7, 2000 and amended on June 24, 2002 and March 25, 2003 the Company has acquired an option to earn an undivided 100% interest in the Taman and Taman East properties. To exercise its option the Company must make payments of $97,500 over five years ($73,500 of which has been paid to February 29, 2004) and issue 89,183 shares over five years (71,183 of which have been issued to February 29, 2004). The project is subject to a 3% NSR royalty, of which the Company may buy one half for $1,000,000. The Taman and Taman East properties have been dropped as of May 31, 2004, resulting in a write-off of cumulative costs to date of $232,318.


(vi)

Senga and Tib

The Company acquired these claims by staking on March 20, 2000.  They are located in the Lac des Iles region of Ontario and consist of 6,384 hectares. This property is contiguous with the Company's Taman and Dog River holdings in the same area. The Tib property has been dropped as of August 31, 2003, resulting in a write-off of cumulative costs to date of $29,726; and the Senga property has been dropped as of May 31, 2004 resulting in a write-off of cumulative costs to date of $60,427.


(vii)

Lac des Iles River

On May 5, 2000 the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 50% interest in the property by making payments to the optionors of $38,500 over three years, all of which has been paid to August 31, 2003, and completing exploration expenditures of $1,000,000 over five years, $543,705 of which has been incurred to February 29, 2004.  The Company can earn an additional 10% interest on completion of a feasibility study within a further three years.


(ix)

Lakemount

On November 6, 2003 the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 62% interest in the Lakemount property from Western Prospector Group Ltd.  Under the terms of the agreement the Company may earn an initial 51% interest by completing $2,500,000 in exploration and development expenditures, and the payment of cash payments totalling $150,000, and issuing a total of 150,000 common shares of PTM before December 31, 2008. A $25,000 cash payment was made by the Company upon the execution of the agreement and the Company was committed to complete $100,000 in exploration expenditures by December 31, 2003, which was completed.  All additional cash payments, exploration expenditures and share payments are optional. PTM must also pay all annual lease payments and taxes, which will amount to approximately $25,000 annually. Upon completion of the payments and property expenditures, PTM and Western will enter into an industry standard joint venture to develop the property.


An underlying agreement to the Western agreement provides PTM and Western with the option to acquire up to an additional 11% and 9%, respectively, in the property by making cash payments to the underlying property owner of $300,000 per percentage point. Within the Lakemount property the Parcel 2017 Lease is subject to a 1.5% Net Sales Returns Royalty for precious stones and a 1.5% Net Smelter Returns Royalty for metals payable to the original lease holder. This royalty may be purchased for $2,000,000. The Wagner License is subject to a 3% Net Smelter Returns Royalty with buy-down provisions payable to the underlying owner.


The Lakemount Property, located 10 kilometres east of Wawa, Ontario along Highway 101, is comprised of two contiguous land packages within Esquega Township. The land package includes ACR patented lease block of 777 hectares and the Wagner License block of 2,240 hectares for a total of 3,017 hectares. The property covers an area approximately 4 by 6 kilometres.

War Springs and Tweespalk

On June 3, 2002, the Company acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in the mineral rights for two properties located in the Northern Limb or Platreef area of the Bushveld Complex in the Republic of South Africa. The properties are comprised of the 2,396 hectare War Springs property and the 2,177 hectare Tweespalk property, both located on the postulated extension of the Platreef near the PPRust Platinum mine operated by Anglo American Platinum Corporation Limited. Costs of investigation and acquisition amounting to $912,209 had been incurred and deferred to May 31, 2004 (August 31, 2003 - $265,185).




PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Quarterly Report as at: May 31, 2004







The Company may purchase 100% of these mineral rights at any time within three years from the date upon which prospecting permits have been obtained on both properties for US$475 per hectare in year one, or US$570 per hectare in year two, or US$690 per hectare in year three. Subsequent to the grant of a prospecting permit for each property the Company is required to 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. The Company was granted a prospecting permit for the Tweespalk property in August of 2003 and for the War Springs property in February 2004. Work is now underway on both properties. The vendors retain a 1% NSR Royalty on the property, subject to the Company's right to purchase the NSR for US$1.4 million. A 5% finder's fee is due on payments made to the vendors.


In November 2002, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Africa Wide Mining ("AW"), a Black Economic Empowerment group in South Africa, whereby they may acquire 30% of both the War Springs and Tweespalk properties in exchange for contributing 30% of all costs.


During 2002 another Black Economic Empowerment company, Taung Minerals (Pty) Ltd. ("Taung"), obtained a prospecting permit over portions of the War Springs property. Taung purported to own a one third interest to portions of the mineral rights on the property. The Company contested Taung's position through a formal appeal process in the Republic of South Africa.


In September 2003, the Company, Taung and AW agreed to a negotiated settlement of the title dispute on the War Springs property by reducing AW's participation in the project from a 30% participating interest to a 15% interest carried to bankable feasibility, and then granting Taung a 15% interest carried to bankable feasibility. The Company's 70% interest remained unchanged.


The Company has not recorded a receivable for AW's 30% participating interest in the Tweespalk property, which at August 31, 2003 is calculated to be $37,628, as AW is not currently able to tender such amounts due. The Company expects that AW will achieve its own financing in the near future, and when it does so, the Company will record a receivable from AW and submit a cash call to AW for settlement. The amount recovered from AW will be treated as a reduction of the Company's costs relating to the Tweespalk property when received.


(ii)

Ledig

The Company entered into an option agreement with Ledig Minerale Regte 909 JQ (pty) Ltd. ("Ledig Minerale") whereby the Company could earn a 55% interest in Ledig Minerale's holdings on the Ledig Farm property located in the Western Bushveld area near Sun City, South Africa, approximately 100km northwest of Johannesburg. At February 28, 2002 the Company had incurred $273,176 in costs relating to the property. Further payments by the Company were contingent upon completion of certain title confirmation procedures by Ledig Minerale and the granting of a valid prospecting license by the Government of the Republic of South Africa by February 28, 2003. These conditions were not met and the Company refused to waive them. The agreement was therefore terminated and all costs relating to the project were written off by the Company.

(iii)

Elandsfontein

In December 2002, the Company entered into an option agreement to purchase 100% of the 296 hectare Elandsfontein property located adjacent to the Bafokeng Rasimone Platinum Mine in the Western Bushveld area of South Africa. The Company made an initial payment to the Vendors of ZAR 150,000 (approximately C$29,500 at the time of payment). The Company must also pay a base price of ZAR 43 (approximately C$8.50) per tonne of open castable economic Upper Group 2 ("UG2") reef resource on the property, to a minimum of ZAR 4,000,000 (approximately C$791,000). A further payment of ZAR 4.30 (approximately C$0.85) per tonne is due on any economic underground resource. The purchase price is payable 90 days after the grant of a mining authorization. The Company was obligated to a minimum exploration program, which was completed before the end of the period. The Company also acquired a right to purchase the surface rights to the property at a price of R 6,500 (approximately C$1,285) per hectare.


The Company exercised its option to purchase the Elandsfontein property by way of written notice on June 26, 2003. The initial 10% of the purchase price for the mineral rights was later tendered under the terms of the option agreement. The Vendors claimed that the purchase price was not unascertained and that the agreement was therefore void. The parties agreed to refer the matter for Expert Determination as provided for in the option agreement. The arbitration process with respect to PTM- RSA's agreement to purchase the mineral rights has now been resolved and the relief sought was conceded and PTM-RSA's legal costs tendered. However the arbitration with respect to the price of that purchase is continuing. PTM has received the acceptance of its prospecting permit application from the Department of Minerals and Energy under the new Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act and is completing the final steps for permit approval.

According to the terms of the Elandsfontein option agreement, the Company tendered a required payment for 10% of the base purchase price of the property in the amount of R 1.5 million prior to October 1, 2003, subject to the base purchase price being adjusted according to the terms of the agreement for actual UG2 open cast resource on the property. The Vendors refused to accept the payment, claiming that an adjustment was not allowable. The Company is of the view that the actual UG2 open cast resource on the property falls below that amount which would result in the minimum purchase price for the mineral rights being set at the R 4.0 million minimum and has, therefore, referred the matter for settlement under the binding arbitration provisions of the agreement.


(c)

Write-down of mineral properties


During the first three quarters of 2004 the carrying values of certain of the Company's mineral properties were determined to be impaired, resulting in a write-down of mineral properties costs of  $413,631 (August 31,2003 - $815,714; August 31,2002 - $1,090,871).

The Company granted 235,000 stock options to employees and 75,000 to consultants during the period. The Company has recorded $69,739 of compensation expense relating to consultants in the period ended May 31, 2004. The Company has elected to measure compensation costs for employee stock options whereby no compensation expense is recognized for the excess, if any, of the quoted market price at the date of grant over the exercise price. Had compensation costs been determined based on the fair value of the options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, additional compensation expense would have been recorded as follows:

ANALYSIS OF EXPENSES AND DEFERRED COSTS


a)

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the nine month period totaled $1,236,487 (2003 - $766,721), net of revenues and recoveries of $380,273 (2003 - $139,643). Shareholder relations expense, web site hosting and maintenance, investor calls, mail outs, printing and news releases totaled $41,930 (2003 - $158,294). Transfer agent and listing and sustaining fees totaled $36,163 (2003 - $36,183). Professional fees of $56,194 (2003 - $98,923) were incurred for legal, audit and accounting services. Management and consulting fees totaled $278,747 (2003 - $161,733). Included in Management and consulting fees to May 31, 2004 is $69,739 for stock options granted to consultants using a fair value based method as now required under recommendation of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. This amount was not previously budgeted for. Please refer to Notes 2f and 8c in of the Financial Statements for the period ended May 31, 2004, which explains the accounting methods followed by the Company when granting stock options. The increase in administration costs during the period, in contrast to the prior year relates principally to increased promotional costs of $109,319 (2003 - $30,286) as the Company has attended more trade shows; travel costs of $169,300 (2003 - $33,710) as the management has traveled more frequently to South Africa and Toronto; corporate finance costs of $100,020 (2003 - Nil); and salaries and benefits of $269,337 (2003 - $104,196) although this is partly offset due to a decrease in shareholder relations of $22,089 (2003 - $147,136) as the Company now provides this service in house. The Company's amalgamation with New Millennium Metals Corporation in February 2002 and its increased activity level in Canada and South Africa have resulted in higher costs in this period as opposed to the previous years' comparative period.


b)

Investment in Mineral Properties


Exploration and development costs deferred for the period totaled $1,770,875 (2003 - $1,052,092). Of that amount approximately $912,969 was incurred on the Company's Ontario properties.  Programs in Ontario included  $531,163 on drilling and geophysics at the Lakemount property;  $227,000 in drilling 3,042m and $21,464 in geological work principally on the Shelby Lake and Lac des Iles River properties. A drilling program at Fairies Lake and Moshkinabie totaled $96,817. The programs in Ontario were on budget.  An amount of $812,905 was incurred on the Company's South African properties. In South Africa the main expenditures were $276,854 on the Tweespalk property for drilling, $142,000 on the Tweespalk property for geological consulting, and approximately $175,000 for geological consulting at the Elandsfontein property. Gross cost recoveries on mineral properties during the period amounted to $45,000. During the period $413,631 (2003 - $815,714) in net deferred costs relating to mineral properties were written off. In general project budgets are highly variable as they are modified as exploration results are received.


2.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Management and consulting fees of $183,551 (2003 - $123,644) were incurred with directors during the period ended May 31, 2004. Approximately $93,617 is related to fees for the Company's President. At May 31, 2004 fees totaling $nil (2003 - $nil) were owed and were included in accounts payable.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

QUARTERLY REPORT AS AT: MAY 31, 2004







1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company was incorporated on February 18, 2002 by an order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving an amalgamation by plan of arrangement between Platinum Group Metals Ltd. and New Millennium Metals Corporation. Platinum Group Metals Ltd. was incorporated on January 10, 2000 as 599141 B.C. Ltd. and changed its name to Platinum Group Metals Ltd. on March 16, 2000, at which time it commenced operations. New Millennium Metals Corporation was incorporated in British Columbia on March 11, 1983 under the name Harvey Creek Gold Placers Ltd. Later, on March 22, 1999 the company was renamed New Millennium Metals Corporation. As a result of the amalgamation both New Millennium Metals Corporation and Platinum Group Metals Ltd. ceased to exist as of February 18, 2002. As a result of the amalgamation, a new company also named Platinum Group Metals Ltd. was formed and it assumed all of the rights and obligations of the two predecessor corporations.


In exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Millennium, the shareholders of New Millennium each received one share of the new company for each 1.65 shares of New Millennium. The new Platinum Group Metals Ltd. issued and delivered 5,468,421 shares to the shareholders of New Millennium. Shareholders of the old Platinum Group Metals Ltd. each received one share of the new company in exchange for every one share of the old company. All of the continuing obligations of New Millennium with regard to share purchase options, warrants and share payments were converted according to a ratio of 1.65:1.


The Company is an exploration and development company conducting work primarily on mineral properties it has staked or acquired by way of option agreement in Ontario 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 dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of the property, and any future profitable production, or alternatively upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis.


2.

DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

a)

Results of Operations

During the period the Company incurred a loss of $1,343,648 (2003 - $1,026,891). Included were mineral property write down expenses of $413,631 (2003 - $385,479). General and administrative expenses totaled $1,236,487 (2003 - $766,721) before interest other income and recoveries of $380,273 (2003 - $139,643). The increase in administration costs during the period, in contrast to the prior year relates principally to increased promotional costs $109,319 (2003 - $30,286) as the Company has attended more trade shows; travel costs of $169,300 (2003 - $33,710) as the management has traveled more frequently to South Africa and Toronto; corporate finance costs $100,020 (2003 - Nil); and salaries and benefits $269,337 (2003 - $104,196) although this is partly offset due to a decrease in shareholder relations $22,089 (2003 - $147,136) as the Company now provides this service in house. The loss in the May

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

2004 third quarter is higher than the February second quarter due mainly to the property write-off in the third quarter, and the recovery of mineral property in the second quarter.


The Company increased its general level of activity in the past year including activities in Canada and South Africa.  Also the Company has increased its profile and liquidity in the capital markets.

Trend Information

Factors which may have a material effect on the Company's future financial condition are set forth below in the Risk Factors section.


Other than the obligations in Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations on page 9, there are no identifiable trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, the Company's liquidity either increasing or decreasing at present or in the foreseeable future.  The Company will require sufficient capital in the future to meet its acquisition payments and other obligations under property option agreements for those properties it considers worthy to incur continued holding and exploration costs upon.  The need to make such payments is a "Trend" as it is unlikely that all such obligations will be eliminated from the Company's future business activities.  The Company intends to utilize cash on hand in order to meet its obligations under property option agreements until at least December 31, 2004. It is unlikely that the Company will generate sufficient operating cash flow to meet these ongoing obligations in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, subsequent to December 31, 2004, the Company may need to raise additional capital by issuance of equity.  At this time the Company has no plan or intention to issue any debt in order to raise capital for future requirements.


At the time of writing there is a noted favourable trend with regard to the market for metal commodities and related companies, however, it is the opinion of the Company that its own liquidity will be most affected by the results of its exploration activities.  The discovery of an economic mineral deposit on one of its mineral properties may have a favourable effect on the Company's liquidity, and conversely, the failure to find one may have a negative effect.


Risk Factors

The following is a brief discussion of those distinctive or special characteristics of the Company's operations and industry which may have a material impact on, or constitute risk factors in respect of, the Company's future financial performance.


The Company, and thus the securities of the Company, should be considered a highly speculative investment and investors should carefully consider all of the information disclosed in this Annual Report prior to making an investment in the Company.  In addition to the other information presented in this Annual Report, the following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in the Company's securities.


General

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits, which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production.

QUARTERLY REPORT AS AT: MAY 31, 2004





The Company's business is subject to exploration and development risks.

All of the Company's properties are in the exploration stage of development and no known reserves or resources have been discovered on such properties. There is no certainty that the expenditures to be made by the Company or its joint venture partners in the exploration of its properties described herein will result in discoveries of precious metals in commercial quantities or that any of the Company's properties will be developed. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of precious metals and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of precious metals will in fact be realized or that any identified resource will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) resource which can be legally and economically exploited. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permit regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of precious metals ultimately discovered may differ from that indicated by drilling results. There can be no assurance that precious metals recovered in small-scale tests will be duplicated in large-scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale.


The Company's business may be affected by political and economic instability in South Africa.

The Company's activities in South Africa are subject to risks common to operations in the mining industry in general, as well as the political and economic uncertainties of operating in South Africa. South Africa has recently undergone significant change in its government since the free elections in 1994. At present, Mining Legislation in South Africa is undergoing change. A new Mineral Bill and Charter were published in 2002 and it is expected that this legislation will be promulgated in 2004.  The regulation and operation of these new laws is uncertain. Over time, a target of 26% ownership in the mineral industry by "Historically Disadvantaged Persons" has been set out in the Mining Charter, but the mechanisms to effect this objective remain unclear. Accordingly, all laws may be considered relatively new, resulting in risks related to the possible misinterpretation of new laws, unilateral modification of mining or exploration rights, operating restrictions, increased taxes, environmental regulation, mine safety and other risks arising out of new sovereignty over mining, any or all of which could have an adverse affect on the Company. The Company's operations may also be affected in varying degrees by political and economic instability, terrorism, crime, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates and inflation. The Company's operations and exploration activities in South Africa are subject to South African federal and provincial laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing and, as a general matter, are becoming more restrictive.


The Company is subject to the risk of fluctuations in the relative values of the Canadian dollar as compared to the South African Rand.

The Company may be adversely or favorably affected by foreign currency fluctuations. The Company is primarily funded through equity investments into the Company denominated in Canadian Dollars. Several of the Company's options to acquire properties in the Republic of South Africa may result in option payments by the Company denominated in South African Rand to be made over the next three years. Exploration and development programs to be

QUARTERLY REPORT AS AT: MAY 31, 2004





conducted by the Company in South Africa will also be funded in South African Rand.  Thus fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the South African Rand may have an adverse or favorable affect on the Company.


The Company's properties are subject to title risks.

The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties and properties in which it has the right to acquire or earn an interest are in good standing.  However, the Company's properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.  These defects could adversely affect the Company's title to such properties or delay or increase the cost of the development of such properties.


The Company's properties may also be subject to aboriginal rights that may be claimed on Crown properties or other types of tenure with respect to which mineral rights have been conferred.  The Company is not aware of any aboriginal land claims having been asserted or any legal actions relating to native issues having been instituted with respect to any of the mineral properties in which the Company has an interest.  The Company is aware of the mutual benefits afforded by co-operative relationships with indigenous people in conducting exploration activity and is supportive of measures established to achieve such co-operation.


The mineral exploration industry is extremely competitive.

The resource industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases, and the Company competes with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself.  Competition could adversely affect the Company's ability to acquire suitable new producing properties or prospects for exploration in the future.  Competition could also affect the Company's ability to raise financing to fund the exploration and development of its properties or to hire qualified personnel.


Metal prices affect the success of the Company's business.

The mining industry in general is intensely competitive and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of mineral resources are developed, a profitable market will exist for the sale of same. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of any minerals discovered. No assurance may be given that metal prices will remain stable.  Significant price fluctuations over short periods of time may be generated by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including domestic and international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to improved mining and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of minerals and therefore the economic viability of any of the Company's exploration projects cannot accurately be predicted. As the Company is in the exploration stage, the above factors have had no material impact on present operations or income.

Exploration Programs and Expenditures

Total acquisition costs deferred during the period totaled $450,194 (2003 - $459,809). Exploration and development costs deferred totaled $1,770,875 (2003 - $1,052,092). Of that amount approximately $912,969 was incurred on the Company's Ontario properties. An amount of $531,163 was incurred on the Lakemount project near Wawa, Ontario.  An amount of $812,905 was incurred on the Company's South African properties. Gross cost recoveries on mineral properties during the period amounted to $45,000. During the period $413,631 (2003 - $815,714) in net deferred costs relating to mineral properties were written off.


During 2003 the Company continued to focus its Canadian exploration efforts on detailed geology, geochemistry and drilling work on its properties located in Ontario.  


On the Company's Ontario holdings, a 3,000 metre drilling program was completed on the Shelby Lake and Lac Des Iles River properties in November 2003. Further work is recommended.  


On the Company's Agnew Lake Property located west of Sudbury, Ontario Joint Venture partners Pacific Northwest Capital Corp. and Kaymin Resources Limited (a subsidiary of Anglo American Platinum Corporation Limited) continue to explore and to date have spent approximately $2.5 million on the property. Airborne geophysics, ground work and diamond drilling was conducted on the project during the period.  At the time of writing the Agnew lake Management Committee is considering a 2004 budget for the project. The Company recently completed all of its earn-in requirements pursuant to the Company's option agreement with the underlying vendors.

QUARTERLY REPORT AS AT: MAY 31, 2004







On November 6, 2003 the Company entered an option agreement to acquire up to a 62% interest in the 3,017 hectare Lakemount property located near Wawa, Ontario. Under the terms of the agreement the Company may earn up to 51% of the property by completing $2.5 million in exploration and development expenditures and by making staged payments totalling $150,000 ($25,000 paid) and 150,000 common shares by December 31, 2008. A firm commitment to incur $100,000 in exploration work on the project by December 31, 2003 has been met.  At May 31, 2004 the Company had spent $45,061 in acquisition costs and $531,163 in exploration costs on the property. The Company may acquire an additional 11% interest in the property by making a payment of $3.3 million to an underlying holder. The leases comprising the Lakemount property are subject to net smelter return royalties ranging from 1.5% to 3.0% and a net sales royalty on precious stones of 1.5%.  These royalties are subject to buy-out and buy-down provisions. Between 1942 and 1957, drilling of 146 holes totalling 23,000 metres defined the open-ended Lakemount Zone along a length of approximately 800 metres and depth to 243 metres. In December 2003 the Company drilled approximately 1,500 metres within eight drill holes on the property. In February 2004 the Company conducted airborne geophysical surveys over the property, which delineated several zones of interest.  In March - April of 2004 the Company completed a further 1,515 metres of drilling in eight additional drill holes.  Assays results for most of these later holes still remain outstanding at the time of writing. A down-hole UTEM-4 geophysical survey was completed in June 2004 for the 16 holes drilled by the Company and several conductors have been confirmed as future drill targets.  The Company has also completed three-dimensional computer modelling of for all 162 holes drilled on the property. Results of the programs completed to date have been very favourable and work is continuing on the property at the time of writing. A Phase III drilling program is scheduled to begin on the property at the end of July 2004.


The Company continues to focus its acquisition efforts on the Republic of South Africa ("RSA"). The Company formed a 100% South African subsidiary in 2002 named Platinum Group Metals (RSA)(Pty.) Ltd. ("PTM RSA") for the purposes of holding mineral rights and conducting operations on behalf of the Company in the RSA. PTM RSA has appointed Mr. John Gould, a senior mining executive, as managing director and has also established a permanent office in Johannesburg.


On June 3, 2002, the Company acquired a right to earn a 100% interest in two properties located in the Northern Limb or Platreef area of the Bushveld Complex near Johannesburg. The properties are comprised of the 2,396 hectare War Springs Property and the 2,177 hectare Tweespalk Property, both located on the postulated extension of the Platreef near the PPRust Platinum Mine operated by Anglo American Platinum Corporation Limited. Costs of investigation and acquisition to May 31, 2004 amounted to $912,209 (2003 - $246,573) and these costs have been deferred. The agreement allows the Company to purchase 100% of these mineral rights at any time within three years from the date of grant of prospecting permits on both properties for US$475 per hectare in year one, or US$570 per hectare in year two, or US$690 per hectare in year three. In addition, subsequent to the granting of a prospecting permit, the Company has agreed to pay prospecting fees to the mineral rights holders 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. The mineral rights holders 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% finder's fee is due on payments made to the mineral rights holders.  A prospecting permit was granted on Tweespalk in August 2003 and a permit was granted on War Springs in February 2004.  Phase one drilling of approximately 1,000 metres in three holes at Tweespalk returned favourable results and a Phase two program is ongoing at the time of writing.  Groundwork consisting of baseline cutting, soil geochemistry, mapping and geophysics is underway at War Springs and a drill campaign is expected to commence on that property shortly.


In November 2002 the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Africa Wide Mining ("AW"), a Black Economic Empowerment group in South Africa, whereby Africa Wide may acquire 30% of both the War Springs and Tweespalk properties in exchange for contributing 30% of all costs. By doing so the Company immediately exceeded the ten-year objective of the Government of South Africa for at least 26% participation in mining activities in South Africa by historically disadvantaged South Africans by 2010.


Shortly after securing its option to acquire the War Springs and Tweespalk properties the Company found that another Black Economic Empowerment company, Taung Minerals (Pty) Ltd. ("Taung"), had obtained a prospecting permit over portions of the War Springs property.  Taung purported to have a one-third interest for some of the mineral rights to portions of the property. The Company contested Taung's position through a formal appeal process in the Republic of South Africa.


In September 2003 the Company, Taung and AW agreed to a negotiated settlement of the title dispute on the War Springs property by reducing AW's participation in the project from a 30% participating interest to a 15% interest carried to bankable feasibility, and then granting Taung a 15% interest carried to bankable feasibility. The Company's 70% interest remained unchanged.


The Company has not recorded a receivable for AW's 30% participating interest in the Tweespalk property, which at August 31, 2003 is calculated to be $37,628, as AW is not currently able to tender such an amount. The Company expects that AW will achieve its own financing in the near future and when it does so, the Company will record a receivable from AW and submit a cash call to AW for settlement. The amount recovered from AW will be treated in a reduction of the Company's costs relating to the Tweespalk property.


During 2002 the Company entered into an option agreement with Ledig Minerale Regte 909 JQ (Pty.) Ltd. ("Ledig Minerale") whereby the Company could earn a 55% interest in Ledig Minerale's holdings on the Ledig Farm property located in the Western Bushveld area near Sun City, RSA, approximately 100 km northwest of Johannesburg.  At February 28, 2002 the Company had incurred $273,176 in costs relating to the property.  Further payments by the Company were contingent upon completion of certain title confirmation procedures by Ledig Minerale and the granting of a valid prospecting license by the Government of the Republic of South Africa.  These conditions were not met and the Company refused to waive them.  The agreement was therefore terminated and all costs relating to the project were written off by the Company.

In December 2002 the Company entered into an option agreement to purchase 100% of the 296 hectare Elandsfontein property located adjacent to the Bafokeng Rasimone Platinum Mine in the Western Bushveld area of South Africa. The Company made an initial payment to the Vendors of ZAR 150,000 (approximately C$29,500 at the time of payment). The Company must also pay a base price of ZAR43 (approximately C$8.50) per tonne of open castable economic Upper Group 2 ("UG2") reef resource on the property, to a minimum of ZAR4,000,000 (approximately C$791,000). A further payment of ZAR4.30 (approximately C$0.85) per tonne is due on any economic underground resource. The purchase price is payable 90 days after the grant of a mining authorization. The Company was obligated to a minimum exploration program, which was completed before the end of the period. The Company also acquired a right to purchase the surface rights to the property at a price of R 6,500 (approximately C$1,285) per hectare.


The Company validly exercised the option provided in the option agreement by way of written notice on June 26, 2003. The initial ten percent of the purchase price for the mineral rights was later tendered in terms of the option agreement but was refused by the vendors, who claim the purchase price is not ascertained.


PTM has recently completed additional analysis and assaying on the Elandsfontein drill core, which has confirmed the continuity of the Bushveld mineralized units. The assessment of resources by independent consultants is nearing completion and results are expected in the near term. The arbitration process with respect to PTM- RSA's agreement to purchase the mineral rights has been resolved and the relief sought was conceded and PTM-RSA's legal costs tendered. However the arbitration with respect to the price of that purchase is continuing. PTM has received the acceptance of its prospecting permit application from the Department of Minerals and Energy under the new Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act and is completing the final steps for permit approval.


c)

  Administration Expenses

Administration expenses and professional fees for the nine month period totaled $1,236,487 (2003 - $766,721).  During the years 2002 the Company grew substantially through its amalgamation with New Millennium Metals Corporation and its expansion into the Republic of South Africa. During 2003 this growth continued as the Company acquired additional property in South Africa and commenced active exploration on the ground.  During the period an amount of $6,500 (2003 - $21,958) in expenses relate to Part XII.6 tax applied by the Canadian Federal government on unspent flow-through funds, which were rescinded to shareholders for the previous year under the look-back provisions of the flow-through tax regulations. An amount of $391 (2003 - $28,100) was expensed for new property investigations during the period. Interest, other income and recoveries for the period totaled $380,273 (2003 - $139,643).

PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

QUARTERLY REPORT AS AT: MAY 31, 2004






Management and consulting fees of $183,551 (2003 - $123,644) were incurred with directors during the period ended May 31, 2004. Approximately $93,617 is related to fees for the Company's President. At May 31, 2004 fees totaling $nil (2003 - $nil) were owed and included in accounts payable.


e)

Shareholder Relation Expense

The Company incurred shareholder relations' expenses during fiscal 2003 totaling $159,532 (2002 - $203,138). Such expenses in 2003 were lower than in 2002 as the Company did not renew a contract with Defero Corporate Communications and renewed a contract with Roth Investor Relations only on a reduced engagement. During 2003 the Company was active in raising its profile with both retail and institutional investors. Defero was paid a monthly fee of $5,000 until February 2003, and a total of $9,000 from March 1 to June 30, 2003. Until April 2003 Roth Investor Relations were paid a retainer fee of US$4,000 per month, plus expenses. Subsequent to April 2003 Roth charges the Company for its services as they are incurred from time to time. They provide distribution of the Company's information primarily to US institutions and other international analysts and money managers.


During the period ending May 31, 2004 the Company managed its investor relations program "in-house".  Both the Company's President and Manager of Corporate Development respond to investor queries and carry out the investor relations function. Investor relations expenditures for the period totaled $22,089 (2003 - $147,136). Promotion expenditures for the period totaled $109,319 (2003 - $30,286) which includes attending trade shows, meeting with investors and creating brochures.


f)

Travel Expenses

Travel expenses for the period amounted to $169,300 (2003 - $33,710). These activities relate to the supervision of ongoing operations, new property investigations and meetings with potential institutional and sophisticated investors, in Canada, USA, London and South Africa.


g)

Property Acquisition Expenses

Property acquisition expenditures during the period totaled $450,194 (2003 - $459,809) in cash and shares. Of the amount incurred for 2002 the Company recorded acquisition costs upon amalgamation for the mineral properties of New Millennium Metals Corporation of $1,930,444. The amount represents consideration paid in shares, cash and the assumption of future liabilities and transaction costs of $231,325.


Cash and share payments for properties during the period include $164,886 for properties in Ontario, and $285,308 to acquire option rights to the South African Properties.


The sum of all payments required to perfect all of the Company's mineral rights are greater than its currently available working capital. The Company evaluates its property interests on an ongoing basis and intends to abandon properties that fail to remain prospective. The Company is confident that it will be able to meet its earn-in obligations on those properties which management considers to be of merit. At the time of writing the Company was incurring further property acquisition expenses through its activities in Ontario, Canada and the Republic of South Africa.

3.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's accounting policies are set out in Note 2 of its Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended May 31, 2004.


There are two policies that, due to the nature of the mining business, are more significant to the financial results of the Company. These policies relate to the capitalizing of mineral exploration expenditures and the use of estimates:

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company deferred all costs relating to the acquisition and exploration of its mineral properties. Any revenues received from such properties are credited against the costs of the property. When commercial production commences on any of the Company's properties, any previously capitalized costs would be charged to operations using a unit-of-production method. The Company regularly reviews deferred exploration costs to assess their recoverability and when the carrying value of a property exceeds the estimated net recoverable amount, provision is made for impairment in value.

The existence of uncertainties during the exploration stage and the lack of definitive empirical evidence with respect to the feasibility of successful commercial development of any exploration property does create measurement uncertainty concerning the calculation of the amount of impairment to the value of any mineral property. The Company relies on its own or independent estimates of further geological prospects of a particular property and also considers the likely proceeds from a sale or assignment of the rights before determining whether or not impairment in value has occurred.


4.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company issued a total of 4,289,940 (2003 - 5,489,635) common shares during the period. Of this 4,279,031 shares (2003 - 5,441,939) were issued for cash proceeds of $3,527,607 (2003 - $2,527,456). A further 10,909 shares (2003 - 47,696) were issued for mineral properties for a value of $3,600 (2003 - $16,140). Cash proceeds are to be spent on mineral property acquisitions, exploration and development, as well as for general working capital purposes.


On November 4, 2003 the Company completed a non-brokered private placement for proceeds of $2,040,000.  The placement was made to a single strategic investor and consisted of units priced at $0.85 each.  Each unit was comprised of one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant.  Each whole purchase warrant is exercisable into one additional common share at a price of $1.10 for a period of 12 months from closing.  The securities issued were subject to a four-month resale restriction ending on March 1, 2004.  No finder's fees or commissions were paid in relation to the placement.


The primary source of capital has been from the sale of equity. As at May 31, 2004 the Company had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $1,164,792 compared to cash and cash equivalents of


Page 16 




PLATINUM GROUP METALS LTD.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

QUARTERLY REPORT AS AT: MAY 31, 2004





$994,650 at May 31, 2003. The primary use of cash during the period was for the costs of acquisition and exploration expenditures, being approximately $2,221,070 (2003 - $1,490,761), management fees and expenses of $209,008 (2003 - $161,733) and other general and administrative expenses of $957,740 (2003 - $604,988).


In the normal course of business the Company enters into transactions for the purchase of supplies and services denominated in South African Rand.  The Company also has cash and certain liabilities denominated in South African Rand.  As a result the Company is subject to foreign exchange risk from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.  In the past year to the time of writing this report, the South African Rand has gained in value against the Canadian dollar by approximately 8%.


5.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

A system of internal control is maintained by management to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and financial information is accurate and reliable.  The board of directors approves the financial statements and ensures that management discharges its financial responsibilities.  The board's review is accomplished principally through the audit committee, which is composed of non-executive directors.  The audit committee meets periodically with management and auditors to review financial reporting and control matters.  The board of directors has also appointed a compensation committee composed of non-executive directors whose recommendations are followed with regard to executive compensation.  From time to time the board may also form special sub-committees, which must investigate and report to the board on specific topics.


6.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 14, 2004 the Company closed brokered private placements raising gross proceeds of $2,721,555. Proceeds will be used to fund drilling in South Africa on the War Springs, Tweespalk and Onderstepoort projects and in Canada on the Lakemount project.  Proceeds of $1,267,200 were from the sale of 1,056,000 flow-through shares at $1.20 per share and $1,454,355 was from the sale of 1,385,100 non-flow-through units, at $1.05 per unit. Pacific International Securities Inc. and Haywood Securities Inc. acted as lead agents for the private placement.  Each non-flow-through unit consisted of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase an additional common share for a period of 18 months until January 14, 2006 at a price of $1.35 per share.


Net proceeds to the Company on the placements amounted to $2,489,006. Agent's fees were paid on the placements equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds.
