About the Bald Hill Project
The Bald Hill Project comprises four mining leases, one mining lease application, 12 exploration
licences, eight prospecting licences and one general purpose lease totalling 774km 2. The project is
owned 50:50 by Tawana and AMAL.

The first lithium concentrate production is targeted for the first quarter of 2018 and first delivery
anticipated in April 2018. The Project is fully funded to first shipment.

Each of Tawana and AMAL executed an offtake agreement in April 2017 (and subsequent variations
thereto) for the supply of lithium concentrate from Bald Hill over a five-year term with pricing for 2018
and 2019 of US$880/t (FOB Esperance) for 6% Li20. The prepayments from the aforesaid offtake
agreement are being used towards the capital costs of the Project.

The Project is located 50km southeast of Kambalda in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, and
approximately 75km southeast of the Mt Marion Lithium project.
A current Indicated and Inferred lithium Mineral Resource of 18.9 million tonnes at 1.18% Li 20, and
149ppm Ta205 at a 0.5% Li20 cut-off for the Project was calculated by CSA Global Pty Ltd.1
The Project remains significantly underexplored and significant drilling is planned for 2018.

1.   All material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource estimates
     in the ASX announcement dated 11 October 2017 and the SGXNET announcement dated 12
     October 2017 continue to apply and have not materially changed since it was last reported. The
     Indicated Resource is 8.0Mt @ 1.18% and the Inferred Resource is 10.9Mt @1.18%.
