                       Share Placement Completed

Tawana Resources NL (ASX: TAW) (the Company) is pleased to announce that it has successfully
completed the placement of all new shares in the Company to institutions and professional investors,
in accordance with the capital raising announced to the ASX on 8 April 2014.

A total of 200 million fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company have been issued to
investors at an issue price of $0.025 per share to raise a total of $5 million before costs (Placement),
as per the attached Appendix 3B.

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.

The Placement was strongly supported both new investors and long-term advocates of the Company
and the Mofe Creek Project. The Project is now well funded to advance its activities and potentially
create value uplift for its shareholders.

Disclosure under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4(b) and 3.10.5A

In accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4(b) and 3.10.5A the Company makes the following
disclosures in respect of the Placement:

(a)   The Company issued a total of 200,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares of which 125,137,904
      shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1A and the remaining shares were issued under the
      Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

      The securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A resulted in the following dilution to existing
      holders of ordinary securities:
      - Number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue prior to this issue of securities under LR7.1A
          was 1,251,379,043.
      - Number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue following this issue of securities under
          LR7.1A was 1,376,516,947 (1,451,379,043 including shares issued under LR7.1 under the
          same Placement).
      - Percentage of voting dilution following this issue is 10% (16% including shares issued
          under LR7.1 under the same Placement).

(b)   The Company elected to make the Placement to take advantage of the significant interest
      received from sophisticated and institutional investors in response to the Company’s recent
      investor roadshow. The Placement offered superior certainty and timeliness and provided an
      opportunity to introduce new sophisticated and institutional investors to Tawana’s register.
      Cognisant of the interests of our supportive and long-term shareholders, the Company
      subsequently announced a Share Purchase Plan Offer which provides all eligible shareholders
      the opportunity to participate in a capital raising on the same terms and conditions offered to
      sophisticated and institutional investors under the Placement.

(c)     No underwriting arrangements were entered into.

(d)     Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited, as lead manager to the Placement, will be paid a fee
        of 5% of the total funds raised under the Placement.
