Tawana shareholders approve scheme of arrangement
with Alliance Minerals Assets Limited
Tawana Resources NL (ASX: TAW) (Tawana or the Company) is pleased to announce that, at a meeting
of Tawana shareholders held in Perth today (Scheme Meeting), its shareholders approved the scheme of
arrangement (Scheme) between Tawana and its shareholders under which Alliance Mineral Assets
Limited (Alliance) will acquire 100% of the issued capital of Tawana (Merger).

Tawana advises that the resolution to approve the Scheme was passed by the requisite majorities of Tawana
shareholders, with:

    -   92.26% of shareholders present and voting at the Scheme Meeting (either in person, by proxy or
        attorney or in the case of corporate shareholders, by a duly appointed corporate representative)
        voting in favour of the resolution;

    -   99.05% of the total number of votes cast on the resolution being in favour of the resolution.

An extract of the voting results of the Scheme Meeting, as required to be disclosed in accordance with
section 251AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), is attached to this announcement.
Tawana Managing Director Mark Calderwood commented:

“We are extremely pleased that shareholders have voted overwhelmingly in favour of the Merger,
endorsing the Board’s view that the Merger represents an outstanding opportunity to elevate the Merged
Group’s profile and to take the Bald Hill Mine through its next phase of growth. We look forward to
progressing our strategy to become a long-term and sizeable producer of quality lithium concentrate
underpinned by a resource with significant growth potential.”

Indicative Timetable and Next Steps

Implementation of the Scheme remains subject to (amongst other things) the approval of the Federal Court
of Australia (Court). Tawana will seek the Court’s approval of the Scheme at a hearing scheduled to be held
at 2:15pm (AWST) on Monday, 3 December 2018.

If the Court approves the Scheme, Tawana intends to lodge the orders of the Court with the Australian
Securities and Investments Commission on 4 December 2018. Once this occurs, the Scheme will become
effective and it is expected that Tawana shares will be suspended from trading on ASX and the JSE with
effect from the close of trading on 4 December 2018.
An indicative timetable of remaining milestones is set out below.
