Strategic Rationale for the Merger

The Merged Group will represent an Australia-based, lithium producer well positioned for continued project
expansion and development:
    - Mid-tier producer of high-demand lithium concentrate with the wholly-owned Bald Hill Project:
            o Positioned to be a sizeable supplier of quality lithium, servicing the demand from energy
              storage applications including long life lithium-ion batteries used for consumer electronics,
              power tools and electric vehicles
            o A current Indicated and Inferred lithium Mineral Resources of 18.9Mt at 1.18% Li2O, and
              149ppm Ta205 at a 0.5% Li20 cut-off6
    - Potential for a simplified single ownership structure and operational management of the Bald Hill
      Project currently subject to the Bald Hill Project joint venture
    - Pro forma market capitalisation of merged entity of approximately A$446 million with strong
      prospects for market re-rating
    - Strong balance sheet providing the Merged Group with both capacity and flexibility to pursue
      additional exploration initiatives on the Merged Group’s tenement package and to pursue project
      expansion opportunities, as market demand dictates
    - Merged Group Board and the management team of the Merged Group are highly credentialed and
      experienced with strong connections in the key Asian lithium markets

Capital Raising

Alliance and Tawana have each launched a fully underwritten placement and a non-underwritten conditional
placement of ordinary shares.

The Tawana Placements will comprise the Tawana Underwritten Placement to raise gross proceeds of A$20
million from sophisticated and institutional investors (including A$7.8 million from Weier, an existing substantial
shareholder of Tawana). Tawana also reserves the right to raise up to a further A$5 million in gross proceeds to
sophisticated and institutional investors under the Tawana Conditional Placement. The Tawana Conditional
Placement is non-underwritten and conditional on completion of the Alliance Conditional Placement.7


6 Refer to Tawana ASX announcement released on 11 October 2017. All material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the
Mineral Resource estimate in the ASX announcement dated 11 October 2017 / SGX 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%.
7
  The Tawana Conditional Placement is conditional on Alliances Shareholders’ approval of the Alliance Conditional Placement. The Tawana Board
reserves the right to waive this condition to the Tawana Conditional Placement.
The Alliance Placements will comprise the Alliance Underwritten Placement to raise gross proceeds of A$25
million (approximately S$25.2 million) from sophisticated and institutional investors, and the Alliance
Conditional Placement, being a non-underwritten placement to Burwill, an existing substantial shareholder of
Alliance, which is conditional on Alliance Shareholder approval, to raise additional gross proceeds of up to A$7.8
million (approximately S$7.9 million).

New shares issued under each Tawana Placement and each Alliance Placement will rank equally with existing
ordinary shares of the relevant company, save that they will not rank for any dividends, rights, distributions,
allotments and other entitlements the record date of which falls before the issuance of these new shares. The
Tawana Shares issued pursuant to the Tawana Placements will be the subject of the Merger, if it becomes
effective.

The Tawana Underwritten Placement is expected to settle on 16 April 2018 and the new Tawana Shares will be
allotted on the following business day, 17 April 2018. Shares under the Tawana Underwritten Placement and
the Tawana Conditional Placement will be issued under Tawana’s existing ASX Listing Rule 7.1 placement
capacity.

Trading in Tawana Shares is expected to recommence on 9 April 2018 or such other time as the completion of
the Tawana Underwritten Placement is announced to the ASX.

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited is acting as Underwriter, Lead Manager and Bookrunner to the Tawana
Underwritten Placement and Lead Manager and Bookrunner to the Tawana Conditional Placement.

Management and Governance

Following completion of the Merger, the Merged Group will benefit from the expertise and experience of a board
of directors comprising:

(a)     Mark Turner, currently Independent Non-Executive Director of Tawana, who will become the
        Independent Non-Executive Chairman of the Merged Group;

(b)     Mark Calderwood, currently Managing Director of Tawana, who will become the Managing Director of
        the Merged Group;

(c)     Robert Vassie, currently Independent Non-Executive Director of Tawana, who will become an
        Independent Non-Executive Director of the Merged Group;

(d)     Vicki Xie, currently Non-Executive Director of Tawana and a nominee of Weier, who will become a Non-
        Executive Director of the Merged Group;

(e)     a nominee of Burwill (in consultation with Alliance), as a Non-Executive Director of the Merged Group;
        and

(f)     Joshua Ong, currently Independent Non-Executive Director of Alliance, who will continue in office as an
        Independent Non-Executive Director of the Merged Group.

In consultation with Tawana, the Merged Group Board will also be further strengthened with an independent
director to be nominated by Alliance with significant mining experience who is a resident of Singapore.

Alliance Chairperson, Pauline Gately, said:
“We are extremely pleased that the joint venture arrangement we entered into with Tawana in 2017 has resulted
in a merger proposal that makes sound strategic sense and, importantly, gives the shareholders of both Tawana
and Alliance the opportunity to participate in the upside associated with full ownership of the Bald Hill Project,
an emerging project of high strategic value and significant in the international lithium market.

 “We are confident that merging the companies will result in significant benefits to both sets of shareholders with
the opportunity for a re-rating for the Merged Group from the enhanced equity and capital markets profile.”

Tawana Chairman, Robert Benussi, said:

“Tawana and Alliance are an excellent and natural fit, given existing joint venture owned assets, and operational
expertise.

“Both companies have successful track records of creating substantial value for shareholders and, together, we
will retain this focus. Our ability as a Merged Group to capture future growth opportunities in the high growth
lithium market will be significantly enhanced. The exchange ratio of 1.10 is calculated on the basis of merger of
equals, adjusting for each company’s working capital, cash and debt position, provides Tawana Shareholders
with approximately 50% of the Merged Group.”

The Directors of Tawana believe the Merger is in the best interest of Tawana Shareholders and unanimously
recommend that Tawana Shareholders vote in favour of the Merger, in the absence of a superior proposal and

32.6% of the total issued Tawana Shares) have confirmed to Tawana their intention to vote in favour of the

Timetable

Booklet will include further details of the proposed Merger, an independent expert’s report, the rationale for
the Tawana Board’s recommendation and other matters relevant to Tawana Shareholders’ vote on the Merger.

Alliance will be seeking specific approval of Alliance Shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) in
connection with the Merger. A circular containing, inter alia, notice of the EGM and the details of the Merger
will be dispatched to Alliance Shareholders in due course.

An indicative timetable of key Merger milestones is set out below. Further details on the timing and
implementation of the Merger will be detailed in the Scheme Booklet.

The indicative timetable is subject to change, depending on, amongst other things, regulatory approval
processes. In particular, the indicative timetable assumes that the Merger will be designated as a “very
substantial acquisition” for Alliance under Rule 1015 of the Catalist Rules. If SGX were to treat the transaction
as a “major transaction”, the indicative timetable is likely to be significantly abridged. Tawana will advise Tawana
Shareholders of any significant changes to the indicative timetable, as and when appropriate.

Spin-out Transaction

Tawana announced on 22 March 2018 its intention to seek Tawana Shareholder approval to restructure its assets
in order to focus on the Bald Hill Project (Spin-out Transaction). As part of the Spin-out Transaction, Tawana
will transfer its interests in the Cowan Lithium Project and the Yallari Lithium Project in Western Australia, and
the Mofe Creek Iron Ore Project in Liberia into a wholly owned public company (SpinCo) before undertaking a
capital and distribution by way of in?specie distribution of 85% of all SpinCo shares to Tawana Shareholders.
Subject to Tawana Shareholder approval, the Spin-out Transaction is envisaged to complete by June 2018.

The Merger and the Spin-out Transaction are independent of each other and are not inter-conditional. It is
expected that the Spin-out Transaction will be completed prior to implementation of the Merger.
