PR Newswire (US)
TSX: TNX AMEX: TRE VANCOUVER, March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As
a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission,
Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation (the "Company") is
issuing the following press release to clarify our disclosure. In
disclosure previously appearing on the Company's website, an
estimate of 300,000 oz of gold at Kisunge was given, with a 1 g/t
cut-off. The disclosed resource should have been identified as an
historical estimate, which the Company first disclosed on July 7,
2000 (Giroux, 2000) of 9,300,000 tonnes, grading 1.0 g/t, using a
0.5 g/t gold cut-off, yielding a gross gold content of 300,000 oz.
However, this historical estimate was not confirmed by the
Company's subsequent technical report (Oliver, 2003), which stated
that no reliable resource estimate compliant with the current NI
43-101 requirements for any of the principal mineralized zones at
Kisunge may be calculated, based on the available data. The Company
cautions therefore that because the historical Giroux (2000)
resource estimate is not compliant with current NI 43-101
requirements, it should not be relied upon. The Company indicated
in our April 19, 2006 news release that we were confident that
further drilling on our Luhala property, Tanzania, would enhance
and expand the "mineral potential that we have already identified".
The "mineral potential" referred to was not a current resource
estimate, nor was it a reference to a potential mineral deposit,
and was not meant to be interpreted as such. Instead, we were
referring to the encouraging mineral exploration results to April
2006 from the prior drilling work and exploration programs, which
have all been previously released and are a matter of public
record. There is no current NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource
estimate for the Luhala property. In disclosure previously
appearing on the Company's website, current estimates of gold
resources at Kisunge, as well as at Kisunge Central were made.
Neither of these references to mineral resources were based on a
technical report compliant with NI 43-101 and, accordingly, should
not be relied upon. A current estimate of gold resources at
Itetemia (Savage, 2005) was also previously made on the Company's
website. The Savage estimate was an internal estimate prepared by
the Company, and is not supported by a NI 43-101 compliant
technical report. Accordingly, the estimate should not be relied
upon. The Company has supported the following current mineral
resource estimate on the GHR Area of the Itetemia property, based
on a NI 43-101 compliant report filed in 2003 (Michaud, SRK):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
GHR Area Date Status Resource Cutoff Tonnes g/t Au Estimator
Category Grade grade
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SRK 2001 Current Inferred 2 g/t 511,000 7.09
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
As both the Luhala and Itetemia properties were recently optioned
to Sloane Developments Ltd. in January 2007, the Company now has no
plans to produce a current NI 43-101 compliant technical report on
the Itetemia property, which will of course be the responsibility
of the new operator. However, the Company does intend to update the
2003 Oliver report on the Luhala and Lunguya properties. In
disclosure previously appearing on the Company's website, a current
diamond resource estimate at Nyamigunga was given. This estimate
was also not based on a technical report compliant with NI 43-101
and, accordingly, should not be relied upon. This news release has
been reviewed and verified by John Deane, President of Tanzanian
Royalty Exploration Corporation Limited, who is the Company's
qualified person. Respectfully Submitted, "James Sinclair" James E.
