CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORSAs a Canadian issuer that is eligible to use the U.S./Canada Multijurisdictional Disclosure System (MJDS), the Company is permitted to prepare a prospectusand this presentation in accordance with Canadian securities laws, which differ in certain respects from U.S. securities laws. In particular, this presentationuses the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource”. While these terms arerecognized and required by Canadian securities laws, they are not recognized by the SEC. In addition, “reserves” reported by the Company under Canadianstandards may not qualify as reserves under SEC standards. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of a “measured mineral resource” or an“indicated mineral resource” will ever be converted into a “reserve.” Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless themineralization can be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. “Inferred mineral resources” have a greatamount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of aninferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. U.S. investors are urged to read the statement in the filed prospectus under the heading“Cautionary Note to United States Investors” for further information. Historical results or feasibility models presented herein are not guarantees or expectationsof future performance.
Information included in this presentation, the Company’s independent technical reports and the Company’s other public statements related to its mineralproperties has been prepared in accordance with securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from U.S. securities laws. The SEC permits U.S. miningcompanies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. TheCompany uses certain terms in this presentation, such as “resources,” that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit U.S. registered companies from including intheir filings with the SEC. You are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 40-F annual report, which may be secured from us, or from the SEC’swebsite at www.sec.gov.
This presentation also contains information about adjacent properties on which the Company has no right to explore or mine. The Company advises you thatthe SEC’s mining guidelines strictly prohibit information of this type in documents filed with the SEC.

Mining Methods
PLG: NYSE MKT PTM: TSX 19
• Aspects that influence the mining method decision:‐ Examine methods suitable for massive and moderately thick deposits‐ The deposits have a relatively difficult dip of 38○‐ Mining methods must address all associated safety issues, and‐ Be able to deliver high volumes
Mining Methods (cont’d)
PLG: NYSE MKT PTM: TSX 20
• The following criteria were used to establish a scoring system in the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP):‐ Shortest time to production‐ Quickest return on investment (ROI)‐ High volumes‐ Flexibility‐ Selectivity‐ Safety‐ Cater for the dip and thickness
Mining Methods (cont’d)
PLG: NYSE MKT PTM: TSX 21
• Initially 13 mining methods were considered: Sub‐level cave (massive) – (unacceptable surface subsistence) Open pit (massive) – (massive material removal) Drift and fill (massive) – (cost, limited production output) Reef boring (moderate thickness) – (not suitable for high tonnages) Contour drift and fill (moderate thickness) – (cost/availability of fill) Longitudinal room and pillar (moderate thickness) – (extensive pre‐
development required, limited selectivity) Block cave (massive) Cut and fill (massive) Trough mining (moderate thickness). Long hole stoping (moderate thickness) Step room and pillar (moderate thickness) Super F Zone ‐ Sub‐level open stoping (massive) T & F Zones ‐ Room and pillar (moderate thickness) – adapted to “modified
step room and pillar
‐ Excluded ‐ Considered ‐ Selected

• Discussions have been initiated with Electrical Power Supplier (Eskom)• Upgrades and conversions to existing networks are planned to be in place by
2018• Milestone is considered a high risk to the Project, as there is no alternative
supply besides self‐supply (Power Generation)• A dedicated HV power line will be installed from the Knobel Substation to the
Mine Site• The overhead line will feed into the 100MVA incomer substation provided for
the Project.• From this point power will be distributed to satellite substations, primarily the
Concentrator and the 3 decline systems• Provision has been made for the approximate 28km overhead line in the
Project Cost
Detailed work to be done in next phase
Bulk Services – Water
31
• Indication that there is little ground water available on site to be used for mining and processing plant
• The expected Project consumption of 30 Ml per day will be supplied from the planned water supply upgrade Project in the area West of Polokwane
• The formal water supply expansion plan terminates short of the project site and a dedicated supply line approximately 19km in length will be provided for the Mine Supply
• A provision has been allowed in the Project Estimate for the installation of a water supply line
• The planned supply network may not have the capacity to supply the Mine requirement and additional costs may be incurred to increase the supply capacity of the planned network
Further discussions with relevant authorities needed to further understand risk issue
Bulk Services – Access Roads
32
• The current drilling area is some 38km to 45km from the N11 National Road
• The route to the Waterberg drill sites are via rural roads from the N11
• New haul roads and access roads will have to be constructed
