  Completion of Acquisition of Cowan Lithium Project

Tawana Resources NL (“Tawana” or the “Company”) advises that the vendors of
 the Cowan and Yallari Lithium Projects (refer ASX announcement 6 March 2017)
have elected to receive $1,000,000 in cash and $1,000,000 in Tawana shares (50%
                            escrowed for 12 months).

Refer accompanying Appendix 3B and ASX releases 6 March 2017 and 11 July 2016
for full details. In addition, the company has issued options to key production
employees, details of which are also included in the Appendix 3B.

  Cowan Project

         The Cowan Project comprises three tenements totalling 159km2. The
         tenements are adjacent to the Bald Hill Mine (Tawana earning 50%), at
         which the Company is expected to commence lithium production in 2017.
         The Cowan Project contains a large number of LCT pegmatites some of
         which are proven to contain significant spodumene.

  Yallari Project

         The fourth tenement is a 41.2km2 application which forms part of the
         Company’s Yallari Project, located 6km west of the Mt Marion lithium
         mine (75km NW of the Cowan Project). The tenement contains numerous
         pegmatites in the same host-rock sequence as Mt Marion and is located
         close to the Depot Hill granodiorite. No exploration for lithium has been
         undertaken to date, however the project is considered highly
         prospective.

About Tawana (ASX & JSE: TAW)
Tawana Resources NL, is focussed on becoming a spodumene producer in 2017
with its high-quality lithium projects in Western Australia and Namibia.
Tawana’s principal projects are the Bald Hill Lithium and Tantalum Mine (earning
a 50% interest) and the adjacent Cowan Lithium Project. The projects have
numerous high quality spodumene-rich pegmatites, some of which have been
historically mined and processed for tantalum at the existing Bald Hill processing
facility.
The Company also owns rights to the giant Uis pegmatite tailings stockpile in
Namibia, estimated to be 20 million tonnes. Drilling has been completed
confirming the presence of lithium. Metallurgical test work to confirm acceptable
recoverable grades has commenced and if favourable, there is potential for a low
capex/opex operation.
The Company also owns the Mofe Creek Iron Ore Project in coastal Liberia. The
deposits are characterised by exceptionally coarse grained, high-grade free-dig,
itabirite that have the potential to deliver a premium, low cost product. The
Company is completing a Mineral Development Agreement (“MDA”) with the
Government of Liberia and is considering initially collaborating with owners of the
under-utilized port of Monrovia or others with a desire to develop a low capital
cost DSO operation.

2     We warrant the following to ASX.

       -     The issue of the +securities to be quoted complies with the law
             and is not for an illegal purpose.

       -     There is no reason why those +securities should not be granted
             +quotation.



       -     An offer of the +securities for sale within 12 months after their
             issue will not require disclosure under section 707(3) or section
             1012C(6) of the Corporations Act.
             Note: An entity may need to obtain appropriate warranties from subscribers for the securities in order to be
             able to give this warranty


       -     Section 724 or section 1016E of the Corporations Act does not apply to
             any applications received by us in relation to any +securities to be
             quoted and that no-one has any right to return any +securities to be
             quoted under sections 737, 738 or 1016F of the Corporations Act at the
             time that we request that the +securities be quoted.

       -     If we are a trust, we warrant that no person has the right to
             return the +securities to be quoted under section 1019B of the
             Corporations Act at the time that we request that the +securities
             be quoted.

3     We will indemnify ASX to the fullest extent permitted by law in respect
      of any claim, action or expense arising from or connected with any
      breach of the warranties in this agreement.

4     We give ASX the information and documents required by this form. If
      any information or document not available now, will give it to ASX
      before +quotation of the +securities begins. We acknowledge that ASX is
      relying on the information and documents. We warrant that they are
      (will be) true and complete.

 • Include only ordinary securities here –

 securities cancelled during that 12 month
 period

 “A”                                                                             373,525,502
Step 2: Calculate 15% of “A”

“B”                                            0.15
                                               [Note: this value cannot be changed]

Multiply “A” by 0.15                                                           56,028,825

Step 3: Calculate “C”, the amount of placement capacity under rule 7.1
that has already been used

Insert number of equity securities issued or   2,500,000 Options (refer appendix 3B on 16
agreed to be issued in that 12 month period                                   June 2016)

•   With security holder approval under rule
    7.1 or rule 7.4
Note:
• This applies to equity securities, unless
   specifically excluded – not just ordinary
   securities
• Include here (if applicable ) the
   securities the subject of the Appendix
   3B to which this form is annexed
• It may be useful to set out issues of
   securities on different dates as separate
   line items
“C”                                                                            11,092,198

Step 4: Subtract “C” from [“A” x “B”] to calculate remaining
placement capacity under rule 7.1

“A” x 0.15                                                                     56,028,825
Note: number must be same as shown in
Step 2

Subtract “C”                                                                   11,092,198
Note: number must be same as shown in
Step 3

Total [“A” x 0.15] – “C”                                                       44,936,627
Part 2

      Rule 7.1A – Additional placement capacity for eligible entities

Step 1: Calculate “A”, the base figure from which the placement
capacity is calculated

“A”                                             Not Applicable
Note: number must be same as shown in
Step 1 of Part 1

Step 2: Calculate 10% of “A”

“D”                                             0.10
                                                Note: this value cannot be changed

Multiply “A” by 0.10

Step 3: Calculate “E”, the amount of placement capacity under rule
7.1A that has already been used

Insert number of equity securities issued or
agreed to be issued in that 12 month period
under rule 7.1A
Notes:
• This applies to equity securities – not
   just ordinary securities
• Include here – if applicable – the
   securities the subject of the Appendix
   3B to which this form is annexed
• Do not include equity securities issued
   under rule 7.1 (they must be dealt with
   in Part 1), or for which specific security
   holder approval has been obtained
• It may be useful to set out issues of
   securities on different dates as separate
   line items
“E”
Step 4: Subtract “E” from [“A” x “D”] to calculate remaining
placement capacity under rule 7.1A

“A” x 0.10
Note: number must be same as shown in
Step 2

Subtract “E”
Note: number must be same as shown in
Step 3

Total [“A” x 0.10] – “E”                Note: this is the remaining placement
                                        capacity under rule 7.1A
