Cautionary note to U.S. Investors US Investors are cautioned that the reserve estimates disclosed in this presentation have been calculated pursuant to Canadia n s tandards, and may not be considered “reserves” by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The SEC permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral depo sit s that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. Tanzanian Gold uses certain terms in this presentation, such as “inferred” or “indicated” resources which the SEC guidelines prohibit U.S. r egi stered companies from including in their filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits identified as an “indicated mineral r eso urce”, “measured mineral resource” or “inferred mineral resource” will ever be converted to reserves as defined in NI 43 - 101 or SEC Industry Guide 7. For clarification, we do not own nor control properties that contain “Proven (Measured) Reserves” or “Probable (Indicated) Re ser ves” as defined by SEC securities regulations.

Focus of current metallurgical testing is on final feasibility plant design to treat primary resources in pit, and below pit bottom. Basis of plant design is double capacity of plant in PFS. Drilling has started on these holes.

17 Oxide resources at or close to surface contain less than 1% of the gold in the PFS open pit. More suitable to be treated by a separate smaller plant. PFS open pit with main oxide mineralized structures

18 Grade control drilling has started. Topsoil & waste removal started. Pit can supply +3yrs to plant ; another +2yrs supply available from stockpiles. Project has upside. Grade Control Drilling

19 Oxide plant will treat approx.15 tph ore. Flow sheet will be conventional Gravity - Cyanide Leaching CIL with cyclones and centrifuges. Metallurgical testing has indicated potential for high recoveries. Plant could incorporate parts from earlier test plant. Stockpiles of oxide ore. Previous plant site in background

20 The Company will soon be facing two choices for the path ahead. » Make the current project better, or » Change the scope to include open pit and underground mining Make It Better Change Scope
