Corporate, Strategic and Financials

The Company successfully completed a capital raise for AU$2.92m in October.
Funds raised are currently being used primarily for the Maiden Resource drilling
program at the Company’s Mofe Creek Iron Ore project in Liberia, on-going
metallurgical test work programs, working capital and the initiation of a Scoping
Study for the Project.
The Placement was strongly supported by both existing and new investors and
Institutions, which reflected the quality of the Company’s Mofe Creek Iron Ore
Project.

The Company was present at the Mines and Money Conference in London between
02 and 05 December 2013, to promote the Tawana Business Plan. The Company
presented to a significant number of very interested London-based funds and
institutional investors.

The Company held a General Meeting on 12 December 2013 where all resolutions
were passed. 

A Strategic Planning Session and Risk Workshop for the Mofe Creek Project was
initially undertaken in early January, and a subsequent follow-up session was held
on Tuesday 28 January.

The Company recently recruited the full-time services of an Executive Assistant for
the Executive team and at the time of preparing this report, an “in-Country”
Manager had just been appointed.

The Executive Chairman and Managing Director will both be present at the Mining
Indaba conference in South Africa, during early February.

Mofe Creek Iron Ore Project

Drilling:

A multi-purpose reverse circulation (RC) and diamond coring drill rig was mobilised
to site and commenced resource drilling at the Gofolo Main prospect within the
Company’s 100% owned Mofe Creek Iron Ore Project during the quarter. Infill and
extensional RC resource drilling for the Scoping Study was completed at Gofolo
Main and Zaway during the quarter to define a JORC compliant resource in the
Inferred and Indicated category.

A total of 4,829m for 65 RC resource drill holes were completed during this phase
at Gofolo Main and Zaway completing the RC component of the resource evaluation
programme on those prospects. Additionally, RC exploration drilling was completed
at the Gofolo NE prospect for a total of 492m in 9 holes during the quarter.

Drill access onto the Zaway and Gofolo North-East prospects was completed during
the quarter and exposed friable itabirite mineralisation along the bulldozed track
and along strike from outcropping high-grade, coarse grained itabirite at Zaway.

Subsequent to the quarter, metallurgical and quality control HQ diamond core
drilling was completed at Gofolo Main for a total of 781m in 11 holes. The drill rig
has been converted back to RC and will complete the resource drilling programme
at the Koehnko prospect to finalise the planned drill programme by the end of
January 2014.

Table 1 | Significant intersections from RC resource drilling assay results over Gofolo Main prospect

Results received from the extension and infill drilling at the Gofolo Main prospect
confirmed the presence of extended mineralisation at the prospect. Strike was
extended by an additional 1km to the east, whilst the surface width of the
mineralisation was increased by an additional 50m within the central-west portion
of the prospect. Good geological continuity was observed between the original and
newly drilled holes. All RC drilling intersections are listed in the appendices.

Initial review of Gofolo Main results show a ‘DSO – potential’ high-grade zone
developing over a >1km strike along the southern flank of the Gofolo Main hill in
holes GMRC013, GMRC031, GMRC003, GMRC032, GMRC006 moving from west to
east. Surface to near-surface friable iron formation intersections vary from 49.5%
Fe to 57.5% Fe over 8m to 20m drill depth intersections. Good continuity over
current 200m line spacing, high Fe% grade, coarse grained mineralisation and
potential low-stripping ratios suggest this could be the potential start-up mine for
the Mofe Creek Project.

Gofolo North-East’ Results

Subsequent to the quarter, assay results were received for a 9 hole 492m
exploration programme leading to a new discovery at the Gofolo NE prospect along
strike from Gofolo Main. Significant drill intersections were reported of similar
coarse recrystallised friable itabirite at Gofolo NE with similar potential low
stripping ratios as at Gofolo Main.

Table 3 | Significant intersections from RC exploration drilling at Gofolo NE prospect

Confirmation of coarse-grained friable itabirite intersections and the new
discovery of Gofolo NE enhances and confirms the regional exploration potential
within the license and project areas. To date only an 8km strike length of a total
60km prospective strike within the Mofe Creek Project tenement has been drill
tested, providing significant potential upside for ongoing exploration. All
intersections are listed in the appendices.

All RC samples at Gofolo Main and Gofolo NE were submitted to SGS Laboratories in
Liberia and assayed on 2m intervals. A field duplicate, certified standard and blank
was inserted every 50th sample. All samples were dried and crushed to 75% passing
2mm, 1.5kg split by a riffle splitter and pulverised to 85% passing 75µm through a
ring and puck pulveriser with a 200g split sent for assay of major and minor
elements by X-Ray Florescent (XRF) fusion and Loss on Ignition (LOI) by Thermo
Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). The batch passed internal and external Quality
Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) procedures.

Metallurgical Testwork

Previous high-grade friable itabirite samples collected from the first RC
reconnaissance drilling program undertaken at the Gofolo Main prospect in
January/February last year (with in-situ head grades ranging from 30% to 57% Fe),
demonstrated that a +60% Fe product with low contaminant levels (i.e. silica,
alumina phosphorous and sulphur) and a mass recovery of 27% to 57% could be
achieved with minimal crushing (3.35mm), screening and simple gravity separation
beneficiation. (Refer ASX release 25 June 2013)

Subsequent to the quarter, metallurgical testwork was conducted by ALS
Metallurgy – Iron Ore Technical Centre of Perth, on two RC drill composites from
the first phase drill programme. Composite 2 and Composite 5 are representative
samples from drilling completed at Gofolo Main and Koehnko within ‘high-grade’
friable itabirite that were part of the first phase metallurgical testwork
programme reported in 2013. (Refer ASX release of 25th June 2013).

The testwork was designed to explore beneficiation options by ‘assay, by size’
fractioning and heavy liquid separation (HLS) at a 1.0mm crush size. First phase
metallurgical testwork reported in June 2013 was completed at a 3.35mm crush to
define the ‘minimum’ amount of work required to generate a +60% Fe product.
Follow-up testwork was designed to assess what potential product grades could be
achieved at a 1mm crush (i.e. no particulate grinding). In-situ R/C head grades for
both composites are shown in Table 5.

Table 5 | Composite head grades for Comp 2 (Gofolo Main) and Comp 5 (Koehnko)

A representative portion of the crushed -1.0mm material was de-slimed at
0.045mm and the -1.0 +0.045mm fraction was submitted for HLS at various specific
gravities to test for the amenability to beneficiate by gravity process.

The HLS results indicated excellent upgradability for both composites with Fe
grades continuing to increase up to 63.2% and 67.7% Fe respectively, as the
specific gravity increased to 3.6, whilst the levels of contaminants decreased to
approximately <2.0% SiO2 and <1.0% Al2O3.

Table 6 | Mass recovery and product grade of the -1.0+0.045mm using heavy liquid separation

The sizing results indicated that the coarser particles at the Gofolo Main prospect
tend to have high Fe grades for Composite 2, whilst the mid-sized particles tend to
contain even higher Fe grades for composite 5 at the Koehnko prospect. Full
summary sizing and HLS results for both composites are included in the
appendices.

HLS and sizing results confirmed that a high-grade +62% Fe to 68% Fe ‘premium’
product with low impurities can be produced at a +58% to 68% (de-slimed) mass
recovery rate, from 1.0mm crushed material. Material was derived from +37% Fe to
50% Fe head grade, friable itabirite from the Gofolo Main and Koehnko deposits.

Total plant feed mass recoveries for Composites 2 and 5 were between 40% to 50%
when retaining material deemed to be ultrafines, i.e. -45µm material. Final mass
recoveries for the Mofe Creek Project will optimally occur within the range of 40%
to 68% (of the processing plant feed) due to the inferred increase in
material/particle coarseness, from diamond core or bulk samples, i.e. in-situ
samples. Note the RC samples contain a higher percentage of ultrafines, as
compared with in-situ material, due to the destructive percussion effect of the RC
hammer during drilling. (Refer ASX release of 25th June 2013).

The results confirm the potential for the design and development of a low capital
intensity process plant with simple gravity beneficiation equipment. Visual drill
core observations at the Zaway prospect suggest similar material is present at this
deposit and should upgrade/beneficiate in a manner similar to the Gofolo Main
deposit samples.

Results also demonstrate that an exceptional product grade can be achieved from
low-grade feed (36% Fe) at a 1.0mm crush. This is significant result as it confirms
the favourable physical characteristics of the mineralisation; coarse grained and
friable, allows for simple upgrade to a premium product. Coarseness of the
mineralisation could also potentially lead to the development of a simple
benefication process for the ‘hard’ below base of oxidation ‘fresh’ material - as its
current coarseness leads to a ‘weaker’ therefore softer, rock mass. The planned
metallurgical testwork programme will assess the upgradeability of the ‘fresh’
below base of oxidation mineralisation in the coming months.

Mineralisation from both composites is representative of the ‘central’ portion of a
typical high-grade friable itabirite profile where the surface crust of weathering
related material has been removed as it has the transitional hematitic to magnetic
itabirite at the base. It typically represents the ‘higher-grade’ portion of the
friable itabirite profile. A representative 1 kg split of material was used for each
composite. Testwork samples for this metallurgical programme were derived from
RC drill chips that are not entirely representative of the in-situ physical rock
properties. Testwork in support of the Scoping Study will be derived from full HQ
diamond drill core to address this.

A comprehensive diamond drill core metallurgical test-work program with ALS –
Iron Ore Technical Centre in Perth, Western Australia was designed during the
quarter. The test work program is designed to optimise the processing parameters
required to beneficiate the medium and high-grade friable itabirite mineralisation
present at the Mofe Creek prospects to produce the optimal quality iron ore
product at the most viable particle sizing and Fe grade, with the minimal amount
of plant and equipment. The program is structured to confirm the design criteria
necessary for the Mofe Creek Scoping Study, including a preliminary plant design
for the early start-up options being scoped, and the longer-term, larger-scale
processing facility.

Infrastructure and Logistics

Meetings were held with the Ministry of Lands, Mines and Energy, the Ministry of
Transport and the National Port Authority during the quarter by the Executive
Chairman and Managing Director. Proposals for road, rail and port
access/developments were initiated. An extensive inspection of the Freeport of
Monrovia was conducted and a fly-over of the entire Project site including
potential mine(s) and transport corridors to the coast and/or the Port of Monrovia
were conducted.

An informative meeting with (Konblo Bumi Inc - “KBI” - Tawana’s Joint Venture
partner for the surrounding tenement (shown in green in Figure 10 below) was held
during the quarter. An initial discussion on the process of preparing and presenting
a Mining Development Agreement (“MDA”) to the Liberian regulatory authorities
for the Mofe Creek Project was undertaken.

The construction of China Union’s Bong mine iron ore handling facilities at the
Freeport of Monrovia in addition to the expansion of Arcelor Mittal’s (4Mtpa)
Nimba/Buchanan mine are well underway. The Freeport of Monrovia is located
within 80km of the Mofe Creek project along a sealed bitumen road.

Forward Work Plan
The Maiden Resource drilling program is forecast to be completed by the end of
January 2014. Metallurgical and quality control twin diamond core HQ drilling have
also been completed during the March quarter. Both the resource RC and
metallurgical diamond drilling program has been designed to deliver a maiden
JORC compliant resource by April 2014.

The follow-up metallurgical testwork programme scheduled for February, in
support of the Scoping Study, will be performed on representative full HQ drill
core samples. Approximately 2,500-3,000kg of full HQ drill core will be sent to ALS
on completion of the diamond programme.

The pending metallurgical test-work programme will optimise the plant “feed”
crush size to produce the most economic, high- grade Fe product with the highest
mass recovery. The metallurgical testwork and development programme for the
Scoping Study is forecast to be completed by April-end, 2014.

Engineering and consulting groups will commence resource modelling, mine design
plant engineering, infrastructure reviews and barging studies in the coming weeks,
to deliver a Scoping Study by July 2014.

Environmental, social and community baseline studies will kick-off during the
March quarter, with on-site surveys commencing on 05 February.

The Scoping Study will jointly and collectively study, design and financially model
two Project development scenarios – 1. A low capital intensity start-up option at a
nominal production rate of 1-2mtpa (of final product) and; 2. A larger, longer-
term, major project with a potential production rate of 5-10 Mtpa (of final
product). The specifics of these two operational strategies will be further defined
in the coming months.

Further meetings with the National Port Authority of Monrovia, the Ministry of
Transport and the Ministry of Lands, Mines and Energy will be held at the upcoming
Indaba Conference and/or in early February, whilst the Tawana executive team is
in Liberia.

The development of a Financial Model for the Scoping Study (and on-going Studies)
will commence on or around the beginning of the June quarter, to assist with the
economic modelling of the two operational strategies being considered.

The Executive Chairman will be presenting the Company’s credentials at an
upcoming GMP Securities Conference in South Africa in late January, and will
further promote the Project alongside the Managing Director at the Indaba Mining
Conference in Capetown, in early February. Both the Chairman and Managing
Director will travel to Liberia during the second week of February, to assist with
the initiation of the environmental studies, ongoing development of the geological
programme and to work with the newly appointed “In-Country” Manager.

Further engagement with the newly established Road Transport Committee
(Liberian Ministry of Transport) will be progressed, to assist with the application
and forecast receipt of licenses for the road transport of 1-2 Mtpa of Mofe Creek
final product, to the port of Monrovia.

Work will commence on the development of a Pre-Feasibility Study drilling
program in the forthcoming months. The PFS drilling program could commence as
early as May.

The barging and transhipment Study work has commenced and will be finalised
over the coming quarter.

The close-out of “legacy” diamond assets is being progressed by the company,
whilst the repatriation of funds held in South Africia is currently being
coordinated.

As of 31 December 2013, Tawana had completed its 2013 Fiscal reporting year, and
will consequently prepare and execute the relevant annual reports, audits, tax
returns and R&D claims over the forthcoming quarter.

About the Mofe Creek Iron Ore Project

The Mofe Creek Project is located within one of Liberia’s historic premier iron ore
mining districts. The project is 10km along strike from the abandoned Bomi Hills
mine (>50Mt DSO @ 65% Fe), 80km along strike from the historic Bong Mine (>275Mt
@ 38% Fe), 45km from the Mano River mine (100Mt @ 52% Fe) and 20km from the
Bea Mountain resource (>100Mt @ 45% Fe).

The project is characterised by exceptionally coarse grained, high-grade itabirite
that has the potential to deliver a high-grade product (63%Fe – 68%Fe) at a coarse
crush sizing, with high mass recoveries, and potentially low mine stripping ratios
and free-dig material.

The Project is exceptionally well located being approximately 20km from the coast
for potential haul-road trucking or conveyor of product to the coast and
transhipment via barge to deeper water for on shipment or barging to the port of
Monrovia. Other possible infrastructure solutions exist; road or rail to the deep
water port of Monrovia via a 80km sealed road from the central licence area or a
65km decommissioned standard-gauge iron ore railway alignment2 from the Bomi
Hills mine to the port of Monrovia; 17km east from the easternmost magnetic
anomaly.

The project hosts a 95Mt high-grade +45% Fe friable itabirite exploration target
within a global exploration target of >500Mt of friable itabirite and intermixed
itabirite/amphibolite. Initial metallurgical test-work completed in mid 2013 on
representative samples from the maiden 2,500m reverse circulation drill
programme confirmed the potential to beneficiate through crushing to only
3.35mm, a +60% Fe product with low contaminants and 44-57% mass recovery
within the itabirite. Subsequent metallurgical testing has confirmed that crushing
the same material to a 1.0mm size fraction generates a 63% Fe to 68% Fe
‘Premium’ product with a 58-68% mass recovery, at a 3.6 SG.

Proximity to the coast and positive initial metallurgical test-work results suggests
the potential for an early start-up, low capital intensity project, with low
operating costs.

About Tawana (ASX & JSE: TAW)
Tawana Resources NL (“Tawana” or “the Company”) is an iron ore focused ASX and
JSE-listed Company with its principal project in Liberia, West Africa. Tawana’s
100% owned Mofe Creek Project (“the Project”) is a new discovery in the heart of
Liberia’s historic iron ore district, located 20km from the coast and 80km from the
country’s capital city and major port, Monrovia.

Tawana is committed to becoming a mid-tier iron ore producer through the
development of the Mofe Creek Project, which covers 285km2 of highly prospective
tenements in Grand Cape Mount County. The Project hosts high-grade friable
itabirite mineralisation which can be easily upgraded to a superior quality iron ore
product of +60% Fe, for which there is consistent global demand.

The Company is currently completing its maiden resource drilling program and
recently commenced its Scoping Study on the Mofe Creek Project. The Scoping
Study will consider both an early start-up, low capital cost project with a
production rate of 1-2 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), as well as a longer-term
project capable of producing 5-10 Mtpa of iron ore product. Additionally, Tawana
has a joint venture agreement with Konblo Bumi Inc for the adjoining tenement
covering 624km2, for which Tawana has 100% of the iron ore mineral rights.

About Liberia
Liberia is a democratic West African country with a modern and transparent mining
code and a government proactively engaged with the mining industry to help
unlock the value of its potential mineral wealth. Her Excellency President Ellen
Johnson Sirleaf was Africa’s first elected female head of state in 2005 and was re-
elected in November 2011 for a second term. The country is hugely prospective for
minerals exploration and production, hosting several world-class iron ore deposits.
Liberia has historically been the largest exporter of iron ore in Africa and was the
5th largest iron ore producer globally during the 1960’s to 1980’s.

Geology                -   Mineralization is associated with moderately to
                           steeply dipping iron formation; likely metamorphosed
                           BIF to itabirite and recrystallised within a package of
                           intermixed      itabirite   and     amphibolite    and
                           hanging/footwall basement granite-gneiss. The
                           itabirite is medium to coarse grained with relict
                           banded texture and is friable where weathered from
                           surface to an average depth of 25-45m vertical. In-situ
                           iron grades are increased where weathered to form an
                           enrichment blanket from surface to average 25-45m
                           vertical depth and locally higher iron grades are
                           associated with primary magnetite accumulations.
Data Compositing       -   Data composited using weighted average and a
                           maximum of 4m of consecutive internal dilution
Relationship           -   Drilling has been planned to intersect mineralisation
between                    perpendicular to strike and as near as possible to true
mineralisation             thickness of the lithological units hosting iron
widths and                 formation
intercept lengths      -   Intersections through friable mineralisation associated
                           with the weathering profile are typically 25% longer
                           than vertical depth
Balanced reporting     -   All drill intersections have been included in the
                            appendices for received and QA/QC reviewed results

Notes
1        The quarterly report provides a basis for informing the market how the entity’s activities
         have been financed for the past quarter and the effect on its cash position. An entity wanting
         to disclose additional information is encouraged to do so, in a note or notes attached to this
         report.

2        The “Nature of interest” (items 6.1 and 6.2) includes options in respect of interests in mining
         tenements acquired, exercised or lapsed during the reporting period. If the entity is involved
         in a joint venture agreement and there are conditions precedent which will change its
         percentage interest in a mining tenement, it should disclose the change of percentage interest
         and conditions precedent in the list required for items 6.1 and 6.2.

3        Issued and quoted securities The issue price and amount paid up is not required in items
         7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities.

4        The definitions in, and provisions of, AASB 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral
         Resources and AASB 107: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this report.

5        Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of International Financial
         Reporting Standards for foreign entities. If the standards used do not address a topic, the
         Australian standard on that topic (if any) must be complied with.
