News Release

April 22, 2005


SEAGULL HOLE WM05-20 GRADE INCREASED TO 9.96 G/T


Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (PTM: TSXV; PTMQF: OTCBB) reports total PGE assay grades for four holes after receipt of Rhodium, Iridium, Osmium and Ruthenium values (Rh, Ir, Os and Ru "the rarer PGEs"). These values add to platinum and palladium values already reported. The rarer PGE values are unusually high compared to PTM's global database of PGE mines, deposits and occurrences. The Seagull Intrusion continues to provide encouraging exploration results that are very unusual for North America. Additional assays from core drilled prior to the recognition of the layered PGE-rich reefs are pending and more drilling is planned to step out from the higher PGE intercepts.


Significant total PGE grade increases are reported for previously released high-grade Pt-Pd intercepts from holes WM05-20 and WM00-05. Intercepts of the Upper and Lower Dunite Reefs in hole WM00-01 and the Peridotite Zone in hole WM00-06 also report increases in Platinum Group grades.


Drill hole WM05-20, which contains the shallowest intercept to date of the Lower Dunite Reef, between 329.12 and 333.40 metres vertical depth, returned 6 PGE+Au (Pt, Pd, Rh, Ir, Os, Ru) values of 2.13 g/t over 4.28 metres including 3.93 g/t over 1.72 metres and 9.96 g/t over 0.44 metres. The latter represents more than a 2.0 g/t increase over the previously reported grade of 7.90 g/t 2 PGE+Au (Pt, Pd). With the copper and nickel values included (0.48% and 0.33% respectively) the values from this intercept and others reported from the Seagull Intrusion comparable favourably to the famous Merensky reef in South Africa with the mineralized horizons at Seagull being considerably shallower  than those currently being explored in South Africa by several other companies.

 

The previously reported high grade Peridotite Zone intercept from hole WM00-05 of 7.42 g/t 3E over 0.57 metres has been upgraded with receipt of the 6PGE+Au analysis to 7.63 g/t 6PGE+Au, within a broader intercept of 1.55 metres grading 4.07 g/t 6PGE+Au.


Re-sampling on quartered core of the Lower Dunite Reef Zone in hole WM00-01 returned an intercept of 1.84 metres grading 2.30 g/t 6PGE+Au within a broader zone, between 577.3 and 581.54 metres vertical depth, of 4.24 metres grading 1.76 g/t 6PGE+Au. PTM's re-sampling has also confirmed the presence of the Upper Dunite Reef Zone in hole WM00-01 over a 3.27 metres interval between 533.14 and 536.41 metres grading 0.57 g/t 6PGE+Au. Re-logging and re-sampling of existing drill core has also identified the Peridotite Zone in hole WM00-06, collared approximately 600 metres east of hole WM00-05 reported above, where it returned 1.20 g/t 6PGE+Au over 1.06 metres between 390.23 and 391.29 metres. Hole WM00-06 is 1150 metres (1.15 km) southwest of the previously reported high-grade Peridiotite Zone intercept, 6.21 g/t 6PGE+Au over 0.65 metres, from hole WM04-17. Both the Upper and Lower Dunite Reefs were also identified in hole WM05-22 which returned lower grade values.


These results continue to demonstrate the lateral continuity of the mineralized zones within the Seagull Intrusion and the exceptional nature of these horizons in a North American context in being characterized by near 1:1 platinum to palladium ratios, significant Cu and Ni grades and strongly elevated values for the other, rarer PGEs. Sampling of existing drill core from the Seagull project is on-going and results will be released as they become available.  


PTM may earn a 70% interest in the Seagull property under the terms of an option agreement from East West Resource Corp. (EWR: TSXV) and Canadian Golden Dragon Resources Ltd. (CGG: TSXV) announced on September 28, 2004.

South Africa Exploration Update

Western Bushveld Joint Venture Expands to Three Drills Operating

Northern Bushveld Intercepts Confirm Open Pit Potential

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (PTM-TSXV; PTMQF-OTCBB) announces the expansion of its Western Bushveld Joint Venture drilling campaign with three drills currently operating. The program has been accelerated as a result of high-grade initial results and the existence of obvious targets for potential resource expansion.


The objectives of the current program are:

1)

to advance the initial inferred resources of 4.8M ounces, including 15.41 Mt at 7.92 g/t- 4E (platinum, palladium, rhodium, and gold) on the Merensky Reef toward a feasibility study; and

2)

to expand the known resources along strike and up dip, particularly where the Merensky Reef is known to be present from previous drilling and additional holes are required to increase the resource assessment.


The Western Bushveld Joint Venture has approximately 11 kilometres of strike length to investigate.  The initial resource covers approximately 2.6 kilometres of strike length and 15% of the mineral rights.  The resource and target areas for drilling are from zero to 550 metres depth in a tabular shallow dipping configuration as typically found on the Western Limb of the Bushveld Complex.


WBJV-01 intersected the Merensky Reef within 10 metres of the projected depth (projected from holes 500-1000 metres away within the resource). The initial intercept of PTM's program, is reported here:

9.13 g/t 3E (6.06 g/t  platinum, 2.74 g/t palladium, and 0.32 g/t gold) over 0.45 metres at 448.2 metres.

4.30g/t 3E (2.84 g/t  platinum, 1.30 g/t palladium, and 0.17 g/t gold) over a 1-metre mining cut


WBJV-01 deflection D2 reports:

10.64 g/t 3E (7.88 g/t  platinum, 2.32 g/t palladium, and 0.43 g/t gold) over 0.59 metres at 441.57 metres

6.33g/t 3E (4.67 g/t  platinum, 1.38 g/t palladium, and 0.27 g/t gold) over a 1-metre mining cut


The values from these intercepts are typical of the values from surrounding holes in the stated resource and confirm the high-grade nature of the Merensky Reef facies in this area. Rhodium and the other platinum group elements will add to the values. WBJV-01 deflection D1 was targeted on the UG2 reef alone and the UG2 Reef reported low values over 2.6 to 3 metres as anticipated for this area.


Additional step out holes along strike from the known resource are intersecting the predicted marker layers and assays for reef intersections are pending.


PTM and Anglo Platinum each hold a 37% interest in the joint venture, with BEE partner Africa Wide Mineral Prospecting and Exploration Company (Pty) Limited holding 26%.  The following are the distinguishing features of the PTM - Anglo Platinum - Africa Wide Joint Venture:

North Limb Intercepts - War Springs Property

Fill-in drill hole #15 on the War Springs Property has successfully intercepted the C reef with results of 1.89 g/t and 0.29% combined Nickel and Copper over 10 metres (0.33 g/t  platinum, 1.46 g/t palladium, and 0.11 g/t gold, .16% Ni, .13 % Cu) at 137.0 to 147.0 metres depth. This shallow intercept from Hole 15, between 500 metres spaced Holes 3 and 4, confirms the continuity of the C reef for an initial 750 to 1000 metres of length at potential open pit depth. Assays from Hole 15 for the B Reef located below the C Reef are pending as are the results for Hole 14. Holes 11, 12 and 13 where shallow vertical exploration holes and did not test the reefs.

The following are distinguishing features of the War Springs mineralization:


Qualified Person, Quality Control and Assurance

Mr. Willie Visser is acting as the Qualified Person, "QP" for Platinum Group Metals (RSA) (Pty) Ltd., "PTM RSA" a wholly owned subsidiary of PTM, for this release on the War Springs Platinum Project. He is registered with the SACNASP (South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions) (Registration No. 400279/04). Mr. Visser is the Exploration Manager for PTM RSA with 15 years experience as a geologist, including Senior Resource Manager experience. Information on regional deposits has been acquired from public information and is believed to be reliable.


The samples for the Western Limb Joint Venture were analyzed for Au (ppb), Pt (ppb) and Pd (ppb) by standard 30g Fire assay fusion-lead flux with Ag collector with an ICP-AES. The samples were assayed at ALS Chemex Laboratories Pty Ltd in Johannesburg. PTM employs a rigorous quality control program, which includes insertion of blanks, duplicates and certified reference materials in the assay stream once in every 24 or fewer samples. This is in addition to internal quality control measures undertaken by the contracted analytical facilities. For the samples reported here palladium values from PTM reference material were reported by Chemex just below the two standard deviation low line from round robin results for the standard. The samples were re-run on the pulps and Pt subsequently passed the QAQC while some Pd values still failed low. As a result of small sample sizes the core will need to be re-sampled if palladium is to be reassessed. The War Springs results were completed with the same approach by Genalysis of Perth Australia and these results had no quality control issues.
