             Tawana Resources Awards Mofe Creek
          Pre-Feasibility Study to Tenova & Engenium

Iron ore developer Tawana Resources NL (ASX: TAW) (“the Company” or “Tawana”)
is pleased to announce it has appointed two firms to manage and coordinate the
major design and logistics components of a Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) for its Mofe
Creek Project in Liberia, West Africa.

Globally recognised mining and minerals design and development groups Tenova
Mining and Minerals (“Tenova”) and Engenium (“Engenium”) will manage the PFS for
Mofe Creek.

Tenova has a strong track record in delivering projects similar to Mofe Creek and
recently completed a Scoping Study for the project. Engenium is a leading project and
study management delivery company servicing the mining and resource sectors with a
specific focus on mine, port and rail projects.

The PFS, led by Tawana’s Project Director, Noel O’Brien will build on the results of
Mofe Creek’s Scoping Study which indicated a very positive economic potential and
will focus on the key aspects of the development of a successful project including:

   -   Marine infrastructure and logistics including barging solutions for transhipment
       and direct ship-loading facilities
   -   Landside logistics including the evaluation of road and rail links from mine to
       port
   -   Logistics permitting
   -   Hydrology and water management
   -   Process engineering including metallurgical test work
   -   Mining engineering
   -   Tailings engineering
   -   Geotechnical investigations
   -   Environmental and social impact assessment

Tawana will announce the appointment of major sub-contractor groups in the coming
weeks that will complement Tenova and Engenium in the development of the PFS. These
groups will be industry specialists in resource development, mine planning and
scheduling, economic studies and transport logistics, including barging, transhipment and
direct-loading optionality.

Executive Chairman Wayne Richards said: “We are very pleased to have assembled
such a strong contingent of mining development and engineering firms to work with
the Company on the Mofe Creek PFS. This will ensure that we will be equipped to
design a high value low risk project for the benefit of Tawana shareholders.”
The results of the PFS are anticipated to be available in Quarter 2 of calendar year
2015, following completion of the current resources infill and step-out drilling
program, along with the advancement of the Mineral Development Agreement
(“MDA”) and the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”).

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 85km 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 its 100% owned 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 premium quality
iron ore product of +64-68% Fe grade, via simple, low capital intensity
beneficiation.

The Company has recently concluded its successful and financially robust Scoping
Study on the Mofe Creek Project. The Scoping Study considered an early start-up,
low capital cost project with a production rate of up to 2.5 million tonnes per
annum (Mtpa).

Cautionary Statement
Full details of the Scoping Study referred to in this announcement were initially released to the ASX in an announcement dated 3
July 2014, and should be read in conjunction with this announcement. All material assumptions underpinning the Scoping Study,
production targets and forecast financial information derived from the production targets as well as any cautionary statements and
disclosures as required under the ASX Listing Rules and 2012 JORC Code are set out in the announcement dated 3 July 2014 and
continue to apply and have not materially changed.
The Scoping Study referred to in this announcement is preliminary in nature as its conclusions are drawn on inferred (74%) and
indicated mineral resources (26%). The Scoping Study is based on lower-level technical and economic assessments, and are
insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or to
provide certainty that the conclusions of the Scoping Study will be realised.
There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources and there is no certainty that further
exploration work will result in the determination of indicated mineral resources or that the production target itself will be realised.
There is also no certainty that the forecast financial information derived from the production targets will be realised.
