ABSTRACT:Tawana Resources NL (“Tawana” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Bald Hill Mine in Western Australia (Project) is on track to become a low-cost producer of quality spodumene (lithium) concentrate in early 2018 following outstanding results from a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).
