        funds and sophisticated investors to raise $5 million

Tawana Resources NL (ASX: TAW) (the Company) is pleased to announce that it
has successfully agreed the terms for a placement to institutions, funds and
professional investors to raise approximately $5 million.

A total of 200 million shares will be placed to investors at an issue price of $0.025
per share to raise a total of approximately $5 million (Placement). The Company
expects to issue the shares on or about 11 April 2014 using the Company’s available
capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 & 7.1A.

The Company is also pleased to advise it will undertake a Share Purchase Plan
(SPP) with existing shareholders. The SPP will seek to raise a maximum of $2
million. Full details will be made available in a separate release to follow.

Funds raised will be used primarily to advance the Pre-Feasibility Study and
associated engineering/design and resource upgrades for the Company’s Mofe
Creek Iron Ore project in Liberia, including both an early start-up operational option,
and a larger long-term production project.

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited acted as Lead Manager to the Placement.
Mr Richards said, “The raising was well supported by both new investors and long-
term advocates of the Company and the Mofe Creek Project. The quality of the
register has greatly improved subsequent to this raising, and the Project is now well
funded to advance its activities and potentially create value uplift for its
shareholders.”

Executive Chairman, Mr Wayne Richards, will also seek shareholder approval to
participate in the capital raising to purchase 2 million shares on the same terms as
the Placement, to raise a further $50,000.

The trading halt has accordingly been lifted.
