Tawana Resources NL (ASX:TAW) (Tawana or the Company) is pleased to provide the following update on the proposed merger of equals (Merger) between Tawana and Alliance Mineral Assets Limited (SGX: 40F) (Alliance) as announced on 5 April 2018, whereby, subject to all necessary approvals, Alliance will acquire all of the issued shares of Tawana for consideration of 1.10 Alliance Shares per Tawana share (Scheme):
