TRE Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corp. Common Stock

Tanzanian Royalty is pleased to report that it has completed a detailed review of historical drilling programs on its Buckreef Gold Mine Re-development project in Tanzania.

The review included an analysis of a 10 hole Phase 1 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program completed in 2002 on the Eastern Porphyry Prospect by Ashanti Goldfields.

This drill program was subsequently followed up with a 40 hole Phase 2 drill program conducted by Iamgold Tanzania several years later which served to confirm the geological potential in the area.

Tanzanian Royalty is now planning a Phase 3 RC drilling program and a Phase 1 Diamond Drilling program on the Eastern Porphyry Prospect to establish the strike and down-dip continuity of the mineralization as part of its effort to generate additional resources of economic interest on the Buckreef Gold Project.

The table below is a summary of the significant fire assay results from these two preliminary drilling programs:
