DRILLING RESULTS CONFIRM HIGH GRADE DSO MINERALISATION

PLEASE NOTE: ALL GRAPHICS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FOR SENS PURPOSES. PLEASE REFER
TO TAWANA WEBSITE FOR THE COMPLETE ANNOUNCEMENT

Highlights
- Results received from the diamond drill program, consisting of a six holes for
   376.5m, have confirmed the presence of high grade Direct Shipping Ore (DSO)
   style mineralisation and high grade friable iron formation from the newly
   discovered Goehn Prospect.
- Excellent results from XRF analysis included:
   o GSEDD04; 14m @ 61.1% Fe from 28m
   o GSEDD01; 11m @ 60.2% Fe from 1m
   o GSED03; 28m @ 51.5% Fe from 1m
       including 4m @ 63.3% Fe from 1m
   o GSED05; 22m @ 54.5% Fe from surface
       including 12m @ 62.1% Fe from 3m

-   Drilling results and rock chip samples have identified a DSO zone over 500m of
    strike, a width of 100m and an average thickness of 15m.

-   Striking similarities between lithologies and mineralisation styles intersected at
    Goehn and typical Bomi Hills cross sections.

-   These results in conjunction with the MOU port services agreement with
    Wisco/CAD1 (refer ASX Announcement on 18 May 2015) support the potential
    for a low cost DSO mining operation.
-   The Company is considering a range of potential options to unlock value for
    shareholders, including joint venture or outright sale options.

Tawana Resources NL (“Tawana” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that
diamond drilling has confirmed the presence of high grade DSO hematite
mineralisation, with iron grades up to 66% Fe, located a short trucking distance to
the operating port of Freeport, Monrovia.

Six diamond drill holes (376.5m) were drilled over the north east section of the
Goehn Prospect where there was a concentration of high grade
Magnetite/Hematite mineralisation mapped and samples reported an average
grade of 66% Fe (Refer to ASX Announcement of 8 July 2015)2.

Six diamond holes were drilled across two lines 200m apart on nominal 50m drill
spacing. The program was designed to test at depth the identified DSO and high
grade friable iron formation from previous field work. The program was successful
as all the holes intersected either DSO or high grade friable iron formation or a
combination of both, see Figure 3.

The core was processed on site with assays taken every meter by a hand held XRF
machine with appropriate QAQC procedures followed. Table 2 lists all significant
assay results from the six drilled holes.

Bomi Hills Analogue and Significance of Drilling Program
Initial geological observations from drilling at the Goehn Prospect highlights the
similarities in lithology and mineralisation setting as reported at the Bomi Hills
mine.

The Goehn Prospect is along strike from the abandoned Bomi Hills iron ore mine
which was in production from 1951 to 1977. Historic production at Bomi Hills is
poorly documented; however estimated historic production by the Government of
Liberia is 50Mt of high-grade DSO lump magnetite in addition to high-grade
beneficiated sinter feed concentrate. DSO magnetite averaged 64.5% Fe, 4.5% SiO 2,
1.5% Al2O3 and 0.13% P, of which 53% formed lump material (average 11-37mm)
and 47% formed fines (<11mm). Friable iron formation was beneficiated through
Humphrey Spirals and a magnetic separator to produce sinter feed concentrate
averaging 64% Fe, 6% SiO 2 and 0.04-0.05% P (Gruss, 1973).

The genesis of the Bomi Hills magnetite deposit is not clearly understood,
however, general consensus is that it is hypogene and represents an itabirite that
has come into direct contact with rising gneissic fronts causing enrichment to
coarse massive magnetite by metamorphic differentiation (Gruss, 1973). Magnetite
mineralisation is in direct contact with gneissic basement and is partially blind.

The Bomi Hills cross section at figure 4 has striking similarities between the
lithologies intersected at Goehn (Refer Figure 3).

Drilling at Goehn has intersected a similar package of friable iron formation
transitioning into hard iron formation from surface, through mafic schist and into
footwall gneiss basement. DSO has been intersected within and directly below the
mafic schists over variable widths and to a current average of 15m.

Potential DSO Start Up
The DSO mineralisation defined within the Goehn Prospect falls within 6km of the
bitumen road between the Mofe Creek Project area and the operational port of
Monrovia; only 85km away (Refer Figure 5). This new discovery represents a
strategic opportunity to structure an early-start-up operation with minimal capital
intensity, using the existing highway and a working port within Monrovia. The
mineralisation is readily accessible and presents from surface.

The Goehn Prospect also supports the opportunity for a potential early start-up,
lowcapital intensity mining and trucking operation within the initial years of
production and project life cycle. Due to the hematite DSO style mineralisation
discovered, a beneficiation process may not be required at start-up and will only
be introduced as the mineralisation transitions from DSO into friable itabirite
mineralization. This mining methodology ensures the delayed capital requirements
of a processing facility and allows the wet plant to be potentially funded from
cashflow and/or strategic debt, once the Company is operational and generating
an income.

This potential development is further enhanced by the infrastructure sharing MoU
executed between the Company and WISCO-CAD; the owner-operator of the
Monrovia port iron ore handling facilities (refer ASX announcement of 18 May
2015).

About Tawana (ASX & JSE: TAW)

Tawana Resources NL is an ASX and JSE-listed Company with its principal project in
Liberia, West Africa. Tawana’s 100% owned Mofe Creek Iron ore Project lies 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 realising value from the Mofe Creek project, which covers
475km2 of highly prospective tenements in Grand Cape Mount County, with all
options open to consideration including potential joint venture or royalty positions
with third parties. The Project hosts DSO and high-grade friable itabirite
mineralisation which can be upgraded to a superior quality iron ore product in the
64-68% Fe grade range.
