CAPITAL RAISING COMPLETED TO PROGRESS LITHIUM PROJECTS

 Tawana Resources NL (“Tawana” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
 received commitments for a placement to raise $7.2 million (before costs) via the issue of
 60 million shares at an issue price of $0.12 per share. The placement was strongly supported
 by quality institutional investors, reflecting the quality of the Company’s lithium assets.

 Under the terms of the placement, the Company will issue 29,628,825 shares under its 15%
 placement capacity in the coming days and will issue a further 30,371,175 shares following
 shareholder approval (expected early December).

 The placement price of $0.12 per share represents less than an 8% discount to Tawana’s last
 traded price of $0.13 on 20 October 2016 and a 3% discount to the 30 day trading VWAP.

 The funds from tranche 1 of the placement will be used to continue the substantial drilling
 program at the Cowan Lithium Project, conduct due diligence on the adjoining Bald Hill
 Mine (refer ASX announcement on 24 October 2016) and complete the drilling and metallurgy
 at the Uis Lithium Project in Namibia.

 Funds from tranche 2 of the placement will be used to advance the Bald Hill Mine and Cowan
 Lithium Project including further drilling, metallurgical test work, engineering studies and
 potential development scenarios.

 Tawana’s Managing Director, Mr Mark Calderwood stated, “I am extremely pleased with the
 level of support from the placement, particularly with some new domestic institutional
 shareholders who have joined the register. These funds will be used to rapidly progress our
 stated objective of advancing towards spodumene production.”

 Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited acted as the Lead Manager to the placement.

 For and on behalf of the Board
