Tawana Resources NL (“Tawana” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has entered into an
agreement to acquire mining rights to the giant Uis pegmatite tailings stockpile (“Uis Project” or
“Project”) in Namibia.

Highlights

The Uis Project is a unique opportunity representing an estimated 20Mt of tailings stockpile derived
from one of the largest pegmatite tin mines in the world.

The Project meets Tawana’s lithium selection criteria of:

- Jurisdiction – Namibia is ranked fourth in Africa on the 2015 Investment Attractiveness Index by
the Fraser Institute and ninth in the World for Mining Investment in 2014 by Behre Dolbear.

- Potential Size – the stockpile is estimated to be about 20 million tonnes.

- Lithium grade – limited sampling to date indicates potentially attractive

lithium grades.

- Drill ready and known target – initial drilling of the tailings stockpile will test the lithium grade and
is expected to commence in October 2016.

- Low cost to test – initial drilling and metallurgical test-work is expected to cost less than
A$200,000. Namibia is a relatively low-cost country with a currency linked to the South African Rand.

- Location – only 220km from port with excellent road access.

- Infrastructure – the Uis area has excellent infrastructure for power, water, accommodation and
local workforce.

- Short term production potential – subject to grade, engineering simplicity and environmental
certification the brown-fields Uis Project could be taken to production within a relatively short time.

- Low Capex – with no mining or crushing required, the level of infrastructure and location,
development capex would be expected to be significantly reduced.

- Staged entry – the terms of the Agreement are linked to achieving success with certain project
milestones, thus allowing Tawana to balance risk/project entry costs with potential reward.
Tawana’s CEO Mark Calderwood stated: “The Uis project represents a unique and exciting
opportunity to assess one of the world’s largest stockpiles of crushed pegmatites containing lithium
minerals.

The low-cost first drilling program and metallurgy test work should give an excellent understanding
of the potential of the project to produce a lithium concentrate in a short period of time.”



Consideration

Tawana has entered into an agreement to purchase all the shares in Lithium Africa No 1 (“LA1”),
which has rights (via an option agreement) to acquire mining rights to the Uis pegmatite tailings
stockpile in Namibia.

The consideration for LA1 is as follows:

- 5,000,000 Tawana shares and $100,000 in cash;

- Deferred consideration as follows:

a) 5,000,000 Tawana shares on successful completion of drilling, analysing and metallurgical test
work (to Tawana’s satisfaction) by 30 June 2017; and

b) 5,000,000 Tawana shares on a decision to mine on or before 31 December 2018.

Uis Project

The Uis Project located in Namibia comprises large coarse and fine tailings stockpiles from the Uis tin
mine which operated between 1924 and 1990. The Project is located close to the former mining
town of Uis some 165km NNE of the coast city of Swakopmund, 270km NW of the capital Windhoek.

Geology and Mineralogy

The Stockpiles comprise unweathered pegmatite material that was mined by open cut, hauled to a
processing plant where the ore was crushed and ground and cassiterite (tin concentrate) was
extracted by gravity. The main plant operated between 1953 and 1990 at a nominal rate of about
120 tonnes per hour (1mtpa) between 1968 and 1990. The mine produced about 33,000 tonnes of
cassiterite concentrate after 1953. Detailed production records have been lost though based on
reported head grades and recoveries total ore processed is calculated at between 20Mt and 30Mt.

The most common lithium minerals reported from the unzoned albite rich Uis pegmatites are:

- Amblygonite (Li,Na)AlPO4(F,OH), contains 7.3-10.0% Li2O;

- Petalite LiAlSi4O10, contains 3.4-4.9% Li2O; and

- Spodumene LiAl (SiO3)2, contains 8% Li2O.

The pegmatites contain less than 5% mica and apparently little or no lepidolite. The pegmatites
contain significant quantities of tantalum minerals much of which is believed to remain in the
Stockpile along with about 30% of the original contained cassiterite.

The Stockpiles have been surveyed, however there are no records of the ground surface below the
stockpiles so preliminary volumes have been estimated assuming a planer surface between survey
points from the intersection of the stockpile surface and ground level and by cross section
methodology.

 Stockpile Type             Surveyor estimate        Check Minimum              Check Maximum

 Sands                      8.0M m3 (14.4Mt)         7.6M m3                    9.4M m3

 Fines                      3.0M m3 (6.9Mt)                            Not estimated


 Total                      11.0M m3 (21.3Mt)



Based on survey data it is calculated that about 60-65% of the stockpile is coarse (“Sands”) ranges
from 0.25 to 5mm and appears to average about 1-2mm. About 30-35% of the stockpiles is fine
(“Fines”) nominally below 0.25mm or 250 microns. The Sands occur as free standing dumps up to
60m high whilst the Fines were deposited separately into dams.

Four shallow auger drill holes were recently completed, samples were assayed for lithium only

Because ore at Uis was mined from several different pegmatite bodies lithium grades are expected
to vary in the dumps. Unlike hard rock operations, re-treatment of tailings stockpiles is significantly
less expensive and requires much lower economic cut-off grades of recoverable minerals to be
profitable, subject to complexity of retreatment process and available infrastructure.

Access and Infrastructure

The project is located 220km by road NNE of Namibia’s main port of Walvis Bay. The travel time
from Walvis Bay to Uis is about two and half hours and includes 106km of sealed roads and 114km
of high quality unsealed roads. Walvis Bay in Namibia’s largest commercial port, receiving
approximately 3,000 vessel calls each year and handling about 5 million tonnes of cargo. Windhoek,
the capital of Namibia is located 335km by road from the Project.

Uis is connected to the State power grid and a 66/11kV substation is situated near the stockpile.
Namibia is part of the Southern African Power Pool (“SAPP”) and is a net importer of power. The
country is working towards self-sufficiency with gas/steam, solar and wind projects to support
supply from the large Ruacana Hydroelectric Station in the north of the country.
Rainfall is low however there is significant quantities brackish ground water available at about 25m.
The water is not potable but would be suitable for mining and processing. The old open pits are used
for small scale fish farming.

The area has 2G cell phone coverage.

Uis is a small town with a local council, the town is bisected by the old tin mine, the two sections
(East and West) of the town have populations of about 3000 and 250 respectively. The East part is
mainly comprised of former mineworkers and their families who have since settled in the area and
the West section is geared towards the tourist industry, here there is good motel accommodation as
well as a grocery shop, fuel, restaurants etc. A significant portion in this part of town is made up
houses owned by seasonal European visitors. The town also has an airstrip.

Project Potential

The project was selected on the basis that it comprises an already defined large tonnage of mined
and partly processed (fine crushed) unweathered lithium bearing pegmatite stockpile.

Significant uncertainty exists with recoverable lithium grade and potential by-product tin and
tantalum and likely treatment method, however with limited expenditure an understanding of grade
and metallurgy can be attained. For this reason, the terms of the Agreement are linked to achieving
success with certain project milestones, thus allowing Tawana to balance risk/project entry costs
with potential reward.

The project is well located, Namibia is a stable, mining friendly jurisdiction with an excellent
international reputation. The Project is located close to port linked by good roads, has grid power,
water, a town and local workforce.

Close links between Namibia and neighbouring South Africa is currently very beneficial to industry
with the weak Rand and Namibian Dollar (against the USD) significantly reducing costs of equipment
fabrication and construction in this part of Southern Africa. In addition, the operating costs are
expected to be significantly more competitive than other parts of Africa.

Should drilling and metallurgical test-work confirm an acceptable recoverable grade Tawana sees
the potential for a low capex/opex operation because:

- No mining required – mining normally represents 30-60% of the operating cost of a mine and can
be a significant capital cost with mobilisation and pre-strip;

- No ore haulage required – simple feed straight into final plant feed-bin;

- No crushing required – saves a significant capital and operating cost components;

- Limited (if any) additional grinding likely to be required – overall the stockpiles averages about
>80% passing 2mm reducing significantly the size of mills if at required;

- Power and Water – power requirements would likely to be modest and is expected to attainable
off the grid, Namibian grid power reliability is good, a sample from a bore water close to the project
site contained TDS of 6,171 is not potable but acceptable for processing;

- Workforce – given the mining history of the area and the lack of local competing industry it is
envisaged that a semi-skilled workforce can be obtained from the local population. High-skill
workforce may be available locally or from Namibia and/or South Africa. Given no drilling, blasting,
mining, ore hauling or crushing would be required the workforce number should be limited; and
- Accommodation – given the level and quality of housing in West Uis it is anticipated that sufficient
rental hotel and housing can be obtained for the limited sized skilled workforce requirements for
both construction and operations. The saving on capital and operating overhead costs could be
significant.

Proposed Work

An Air-Core rig is expected to arrive on site in October 2016. Air core drilling is considered
appropriate as it minimises or eliminates contamination as it is effectively Reverse Circulation
drilling. A total of 21 deeper holes and 45 shallow holes are planned totalling about 1500m. Samples
will be assayed at Swakopmund. Subject to the results composite samples will be sent to Australia
from mineralogical and metallurgical characterisation test-work.

Consideration for the Purchase of Lithium Africa No 1

Tawana has entered into an agreement to purchase all the shares in Lithium Africa No 1 (“LA1”),
which has rights (via an option agreement) to acquire mining rights to the Uis pegmatite tailings
stockpile in Namibia.

The consideration for LA1 is as follows:

- 5,000,000 Tawana shares and $100,000 in cash;

- Deferred consideration as follows:

a) 5,000,000 Tawana shares on successful completion of drilling, analysing and metallurgical test
work (to Tawana’s satisfaction) by 30 June 2017; and

b) 5,000,000 Tawana shares on a decision to mine on or before 31 December 2018.

The deferred consideration will be subject to shareholder approval, and if Tawana’s shareholders do
not approve the deferred consideration shares, cash consideration to the value of the shares at the
date the milestone was achieved (based on a VWAP) will be paid.

Terms of the Option Agreement to Acquire the Uis Pegmatite Tailings Stockpile Under the terms of
the existing agreement between LA1 and Namibia Silica CC (being the current owner of the Uis
pegmatite tailings stockpile) (Namibia Silica), LA1 is required to pay US$1,375,000 together with a
(5%) net profit interest royalty.

The cash payments are to be made on a staged basis as follows:

- US$275,000 upon completion of drilling, analysing and metallurgical test work;

- US$250,000 upon completion of an environmental impact study and associated clearance;

- US$350,000 upon completion of a definitive feasibility study and receipt of key approvals; and

- US$500,000 upon commencement of commercial production.

Tawana will assume these payment obligations.

In addition there is another party which indirectly owns 5% of the Uis pegmatite tailings stockpile
which can be purchased by LA1 for US$500,000. This person is a local Namibian and not a related
party of the Company.
