TAWANA RESOURCES NL

Tawana, which means, "we have found it" in the Shona African language, was incorporated as a public company on 16 November 1998 in Australia. Operating through its various subsidiary operations, the Tawana group is involved in the exploration for and evaluation of diamondiferous kimberlites and alluvials, primarily in South Africa, and also in Australia, with the objective of establishing viable ore reserve and turning such projects to account. In attaining its business objective, Tawana will often partner in joint ventures with major mining houses such as the BHP Billiton group ("BHP Billiton") and the De Beers group ("De Beers").
