NON RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE
Tawana Resources NL (“Tawana” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it is
undertaking a 1 for 1 pro rata non-renounceable rights issue (Rights Issue or Offer) of
approximately 73,762,651 fully paid ordinary shares (New Shares) to raise
approximately $1,106,441. The price of New Shares under the Offer is $0.015
ZAR0.16268 each (Issue Price).
The Offer is not underwritten.
Completion of the Offer will result in an increase in cash in hand of up to approximately
$1,106,441 (before the payment of costs associated with the Offer). The Company intends
to apply the funds raised under the Offer as follows:
Item Allocation $ %
Mofe Creek Iron Ore Project maintenance and associated

D Working capital1 334,130 30.20

Total 1,106,441 100
In the event that the Company raises less than the full subscription of $1,106,441 (and
after accounting for Offer costs), any funds raised will be allocated proportionately
between items A and B. Any remaining funds will then be used to examine potential
opportunities (item C) and then for general working capital (item D).
The above table is a statement of the Board’s current intentions as at the date of this Offer
Document. However, Shareholders should note that, as with any budget, the allocation of
funds set out in the above table may change depending on a number of factors, including
the outcome of operational and development activities, regulatory developments, market
and general economic conditions and environmental factors. In light of this, the Board
reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied.
The Offer is being made to all shareholders of the Company (Shareholders) named on its
register of members at 5pm (WST) on Friday, 13 May 2016 (Record Date), whose
registered address is in Australia, New Zealand or Shareholders registered on the JSE.
New Shares will rank equally with all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the
Company (Shares) already on issue.
Following completion of the Offer, the Company will have issued approximately
73,762,651 New Shares resulting in total Shares on issue of approximately 147,525,502.

Notice under section 708AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)
The Company provides the following information:
(a) the Company will offer the New Shares for issue without disclosure to investors
under Part 6D.2 of the Act.
(b) the Company is providing this notice under s708AA(2)(f) of the Act.
(c) as at the date of this notice, the Company has complied with:
(i) the provisions of Chapter 2M of the Act as they apply to the Company;
and
(ii) section 674 of the Act.
(d) as at the date of this notice, there is no information:
(i) that has been excluded from a continuous disclosure notice in
accordance with the ASX Listing Rules; and
(ii) that investors and their professional advisers would reasonably
require for the purpose of making an informed assessment of:
A. the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance,
profits and losses and prospects of the Company; or
B. the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares.
(e) the potential effect that the issue of the new Shares pursuant to the Offer will
have on the control of the Company, and the consequences of that effect, will
depend on a number of factors, including investor demand. If all eligible
shareholders take up their entitlements under the Offer, the issue of Shares
under the Offer will have no effect on the control of the Company and all
shareholders will hold the same percentage interest in the Company, subject
only to changes resulting from ineligible shareholders being unable to
participate in the Offer. In the event that there is a shortfall, eligible
shareholders who do not subscribe for their full entitlement of Shares under the
Offer and ineligible shareholders unable to participate in the Offer will be
diluted relative to those shareholders who subscribe for some or all of their
entitlement

the Company’s website. Eligible Shareholders will be mailed an Offer Document together
with an Entitlement and Acceptance Form no later than Wednesday, 18 May 2016. Your
