Highlights:

• At 100% owned Vittangi project surface sampling of EM conductors returns multiple high grade graphite results up to 41.6% Cg located 3km along strike from the Nunasvaara deposit

• New tenements granted to extend Vittangi project over total 32km graphite target strike and expand project area to 347km2

• Estimation of new exploration targets underway and diamond drilling to commence imminently over 7km strike extent from Nunasvaara deposit

• Work commenced on bulk sample permit application to extract up to

2,000m3 of graphite from Nunasvaara deposit for pilot plant processing. Statutory public consultation documents lodged.

Talga Resources Limited (ASX:TLG) ("Talga" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on its 100% owned Vittangi project ("Vittangi"), one of five wholly owned projects in north Sweden (see Fig 3) that contain multiple graphite deposits.

To date the focus of exploration at Vittangi has been the Nunasvaara deposit where Talga has defined a JORC 2004 resource1 totalling 7.6Mt @ 24.4% graphite ("Cg") (for resource details see Appendix 3 and ASX:TLG 8 November

2012). Recent recognition of the ability for Nunasvaara-type graphite mineralisation to produce both high quality graphene and graphite in a one- step process has spurred a review of Vittangi for further such deposits as a priority.

To this end Talga recently acquired historical airborne and ground electromagnetic ("EM") data over the Vittangi project and adjacent surrounds.

Analysis has revealed strong conductors to the northeast and southeast of the Nunasvaara deposit along

15km strike of the graphite unit that is draped around a domal feature (see Fig 1). Recent fieldwork of selected sites over 7km of this strike has confirmed outcropping graphite mineralisation at some of these conductors, with surface rock chip samples returning assay results up to 41.6% Cg and geochemistry diagnostic of Nunasvaara-type mineralisation (see Fig 1 and Appendix 1) located both 3km northeast and southeast from Nunasvaara. At some sites the graphite unit was exposed in unmapped historic trenches and workings (see photos, location and summary descriptions in Appendix 1). Rock sample assay and location data along with results of Talga's prior sampling relevant to the conductors are provided in Appendix 2.

To test widths, grades and graphene potential of the larger graphite unit clearly associated with the identified EM conductors, a drill program is planned for five sites extending over 7km of strike from Nunasvaara. This program of approximately 10 holes for a total of approximately 1,200 metres will act as a prelude to considering future resource expansion. The drilling will also validate the larger graphite unit at a distance from the current resource to enable long term planning and will provide substantial core for metallurgical testing and related bench-scale graphene production.

The EM data is being combined with recent and historic drilling, test mining, rock chip/trench sampling and geological mapping to estimate new exploration targets. The finalisation of these targets is imminent and a drillrig has been secured and mobilised to commence drilling later this week.

Talga Resources Managing Director Mr Mark Thompson says "We have always been comfortable, considering our high grade, with the amount of graphite contained in our resource and it's robust potential mine life. These new results confirm that the Nunasvaara deposit may not be alone, and is really just part of a much larger unit of graphitic mineralisation uniquely suited for bulk graphene production. While we remain on track in our commercialisation program to develop Nunasvaara based on its current size, we are excited to get active on the ground again to prove the larger scale of graphite deposits we own within the broader Vittangi project".

Project Expanded Over New Conductors

Further EM conductors (interpreted to be similar to Nunasvaara-type graphite) were identified extending adjacent from the current project area (i.e. outside the project area). Talga's tenement applications over these conductors have now been granted which doubles the total strike of graphite targets in the Vittangi project from approximately 15km to 32km (see Fig 2). The Vittangi graphite project area now totals 347km2.

The geophysical and fieldwork results support the Company's confidence in the overall scale and tenor of near-surface graphite and the potential for significant long term commercialisation of both graphite and graphene products from Vittangi.

Bulk Sample Permitting Commenced

Talga has commenced work on a bulk sample

permit application to extract up to 2,000m3 of graphite mineralisation from the Nunasvaara deposit. The Company's wholly owned Swedish subsidiary Talga Mining Pty Ltd Filial Sweden has commenced its official public consultation process, a statutory requirement for a bulk sample permit application, and the Swedish language consultation document is available on Talga's website. Upon completion of the consultation process, the application can be submitted and this is expected to occur in October 2014. If the permit is granted, Talga aims to complete the bulk sampling in mid-2015 with a view to processing test samples through a local pilot plant over the remainder of the year.

Drilling at Kiskama Commences

A review of the 100% owned Kiskama iron oxide copper gold ("IOCG") project was previously undertaken (see ASX:TLG 10 February 2014) and results were highly encouraging. Given that work is still ongoing with respect to preparing the Vittangi drill targets, Talga has mobilised it's secured drill rig to complete a short program of diamond drilling (4 holes for total 450m) at Kiskama which is adjacent to Vittangi. The new drill core samples will provide valuable information on the full suite of minerals in the system, including cobalt which is historically recorded at the site and is a mineral that, along with graphite, is used in Lithium-ion batteries.

The expanded knowledge generated will place Talga in a stronger position to advance commercial discussions and establish the best way to realise future value from the deposit. Drilling has commenced and is expected to be complete in a matter of days. Thereafter the rig will move the short distance to the Vittangi project.

Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

• The Vittangi project contains multiple stratigraphic units of graphite schist within a greenstone sequence consisting of basalts, tuffs, intercalated metasedimentary rocks and doleritic sills forming the Vittangi greenstone belt. Multiple graphite occurrences form a semi-contiguous 15-20km trend folded and raised around a domal structure. Graphite is

commonly hosted in a dark grey to black, dense, fine-

grained, massive graphite-rich rock within hanging wall mafic tuff and footwall dolerite rocks.

Drill hole
Information
Data aggregation methods
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths

• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:

o easting and northing of the drill hole collar

o elevation or RL (Reduced Level - elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole

collar

o dip and azimuth of the hole

o down hole length and interception depth

o hole length.

• If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding

of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.

• Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.

• The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.

• If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.

• If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. 'down hole length, true width not known').

• Rock chip samples that form the basis of this announcement are tabulated in the Appendix of the announcement and incorporate Sample No, Easting, Northing, and Assay data for all samples collected. Appropriate maps and plans also accompany this announcement.

• No averaging or aggregation techniques have been applied.

• No top cuts have been applied to exploration results.

• No metal equivalent values are used in this report.

• The orientation or geometry of the mineralised zones has not yet been established with these surface samples at this stage of exploration.

Diagrams • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

• Appropriate maps are included in main body of report with summary graphite results +30%Cg, and full details are in the tables reported.

Balanced reporting
Other substantive exploration data

• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey

results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples -
size and method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.

• All results for the target economic mineral being graphite have been reported.

• Historical geophysical and geochemical surveying by the SGU identified a number of prospects within Talga's exploration permits which are defined by IP, EM and geochemical anomalies. The EM and anomalies drill testing of these has occurred.

Further work • The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

• Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.

• Future geological mapping, rock chipping and drilling is being considered to test the sampled sites.

• Refer to maps in main body of report for potential target areas.
