TRE Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corp. Common Stock

The Company is pleased to announce that it has completed a detailed review of historical diamond drilling results on the Buckreef Main, South and North Prospects which form the core of its recently acquired Buckreef Gold Project in Tanzania.

Among the most interesting highlights of the drill programs were: 3.0 metres grading 12.3 g/t gold; 12 metres averaging 6.0 g/t gold; 3.0 metres grading 15.9 g/t gold; 29 metres averaging 3.43 g/t gold; 18.25 metres at 15.4 g/t; 16.3 metres averaging 31 g/t; 6.3 metres at 10.97 g/t; 22.6 metres averaging 3.52 g/t and 14 metres grading 10.92 g/t. The sample depths for these intercepts ranged from approximately 100 metres to 560 metres.

Because of the widely spaced nature of the drill holes, true widths of the drill intercepts are unknown at this time.

Several drilling programs were conducted on the Buckreef property between 1995 and 2004 by Kinross Gold, East Africa Mining, AngloGold Ashanti, Spinifex Gold and Gallery Gold among others. These programs generally targeted the main strike and down dip extension of the Buckreef shear zone along a strike length exceeding one kilometre.

For cost reasons the deeper holes in the programs were widely spaced, with the expectation that infill drilling would take place at a later date. In addition, the companies were focusing on the open pit potential of the Buckreef prospect which, given the gold price at the time, was economically more attractive.

As part of its ongoing review of historical data for the Buckreef Project, Tanzanian Royalty has been evaluating previous drill results in the context of establishing the economic significance of the deeper resources at the Buckreef Project using today’s gold prices. At the present time, the Company’s technical staff are updating the Scoping Study for Buckreef, paying specific attention to the exploration potential of the deep-seated underground inferred resources which will ultimately be incorporated into a full feasibility study.

The tables below are a summary of the significant fire assay results from these various reconnaissance drilling programs:
