PURPOSE OF FILING THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (the “Registrant” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Form 40-F to:

·

revise clerical errors on the cover page of the Registrant’s previously filed Form 40-F;

·

restate in the body of this Form 40-F the disclosure under “Disclosure Controls and Procedures” and “Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”, although please note that the substance of the disclosure remains the same; and

·

refile the Registrant’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, to include the correct report of the Company’s former auditor, Deloitte and Touche LLP due to the fact that an incorrect version of the report had been inadvertently included in the original Form 40-F.

Other than as expressly set forth above, this Amendment No. 1 does not, and does not purport to, update or restate the information in any Item of the Annual Report on Form 40-F or reflect any events that have occurred after the Form 40-F was initially filed.


DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

The annual information form (“AIF”) of the Registrant for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 is incorporated herein by reference.

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended August 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, including the report of the auditors with respect thereto, are incorporated herein by reference.  For a reconciliation of important differences between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles, see Note 14 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) for the year ended August 31, 2008 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.

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting practices (“GAAP”), 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.  Significant differences between Canadian GAAP and United States GAAP are described in Note 14 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company incorporated by reference in this report.





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.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

At the end of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and with the participation of, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files with or submits to the Canadian securities administrators and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
