LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF TAWANA

Dear Fellow Shareholder

Tawana Resources NL (Tawana) is pleased to provide shareholders with this Supplementary Scheme Booklet and to confirm that the postponed Scheme Meeting will be held at 10:00am on 27 November 2018 at King & Wood Mallesons, Level 30, QV1 Building, 250 St Georges Terrace, Perth, Western Australia.

As you are aware, there have been significant developments following the despatch of the Scheme Booklet dated 20 August 2018 (Scheme Booklet) to Tawana Shareholders, including Tawana securing the $40m conditional debt funding announced to ASX on 31 October 2018 (see Section 2 of this Supplementary Scheme Booklet) and the status of the proposed listing of AMAL on ASX in connection with the Scheme. This Supplementary Scheme Booklet provides information to Tawana Shareholders about these developments and other information relevant to your voting decision in relation to the Scheme. Tawana Shareholders are encouraged to read both the Scheme Booklet and this Supplementary Scheme Booklet in their entirety before voting on the Scheme.

Debt Arrangements and ASX Listing Condition

Following the despatch of the Scheme Booklet to Tawana Shareholders in late August 2018, AMAL advised Tawana that it was unable to satisfy the condition of the Scheme requiring admission of AMAL to the Official List of ASX and the Official Quotation of AMAL Shares on ASX (ASX Listing Condition) within the proposed timetable for the Scheme as a result of the material uncertainty regarding the Merged Group's ability to continue as a going concern noted in the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information (as defined in the Scheme Booklet)1.

In the interest of continuing with the Merger, Tawana and AMAL waived the ASX Listing Condition on 19 September 2018, whilst both companies remained committed to the listing of AMAL on ASX and continued to work towards satisfying ASX listing requirements in due course following the Merger.

On 31 October 2018, Tawana and Lithco executed formal binding documentation with a consortium of lenders led by Tribeca Investment Partners (Tribeca) for a $40 million conditional funding package (Funding Package).

Apart from providing funding for capital works and working capital at the Bald Hill Project, the Funding Package will improve the liquidity position of the Merged Group, such that the material uncertainty regarding the Merged Group's ability to continue as a going concern no longer exists. Consequently, the concern that led to the waiver of the ASX Listing Condition has been alleviated.

Accordingly, on 7 November 2018, following execution of the formal binding documentation with respect to the Funding Package, Tawana and AMAL agreed to reinstate the ASX Listing Condition.

No change to recommendation that you vote in favour of the Scheme in the absence of a Superior Proposal

Your Tawana Directors continue to believe that the Scheme is in the best interests of Tawana Shareholders in that it represents a compelling opportunity to consolidate the ownership of the Bald Hill Project before the next stage of its development. The Tawana Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the Scheme in the absence of a Superior Proposal. Each Tawana Director intends to vote the Tawana Shares that they own or control at the time of the Scheme Meeting (if any), and will direct any Tawana proxies placed at their discretion, in favour of the Scheme in the absence of a Superior Proposal.

The Independent Expert, BDO, has maintained its opinion that the Scheme is fair and reasonable to Tawana Shareholders and therefore is in the best interests of Tawana Shareholders, in the absence of a superior proposal (refer to Annexure A).

Postponed Scheme Meeting and voting

Your vote is important. I strongly encourage you to vote either by attending the Postponed Scheme Meeting in person or by completing and returning the accompanying Proxy Form so that it is received at the address shown on the Proxy Form by 10:00am on 25 November 2018.

Tawana Shareholders that have already voted are entitled to change their vote by submitting a new Proxy Form. Any Proxy Forms that have been validly lodged prior to the date of this Supplementary Scheme Booklet will be deemed valid for the Postponed Scheme Meeting unless withdrawn or revoked, provided that the Proxy Form is given by a Tawana Shareholder that continues to be a registered holder as at 10:00am on the new eligibility date of 25 November 2018. If a new Proxy Form is submitted it will be taken to revoke any previously submitted Proxy Form.

Refer to Section 6.5 of the Scheme Booklet.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Tawana, I would like to sincerely thank all of our shareholders for their ongoing loyalty and support. As a fellow Tawana Shareholder, I look forward to joining you in participating in the next exciting chapter of growth at the Bald Hill Project.

Yours sincerely

Robert Benussi Chairman
