Information on the Company



A.

History and Development of the Company



The Company was originally incorporated under the corporate name 424547 Alberta Ltd. in the Province of Alberta on July 5, 1990, under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta).  The name was changed to Tan Range Exploration Corporation on August 13, 1991.  The name of the Company was again changed to Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporationon February 28, 2006.  On March 7, 2008, the Company amended its Articles to increase the maximum number of directors from nine (9) to eleven (11).  The Company is also registered in the Province of British Columbia as an extra provincial company under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).



The principal executive office of the Company is located at Suite 404  1688 152nd Street, South Surrey, BC V4A 4N2, Canada, and its telephone number is (604) 536-7873.  Mr. Sinclair, Chairman and CEO is located at 93 Benton Hill Road, Sharon, Connecticut, 06069, U.S.A., telephone number (860) 364-1830.



The Company is a mineral resource company with exploration stage properties, which means that the Company is engaged in the search for mineral deposits and that the properties are not in development or production.



In January 2009, the Company signed an option and royalty agreement with Kazakh over the Companys Mwadui Project area diamond prospecting licenses and applications located in the Lake Victoria Greenstone Belt of Tanzania.  Kazakh has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the licenses by fulfilling various option payments over a 72 month period, whereby the Company will then receive a gross overriding royalty of 1.5% on all diamonds sold, and a net smelter returns royalty of up to 2% on any other minerals produced.



On February 25, 2009, the Company entered into an option and royalty option agreement with Songshan, granting Songshan an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Companys  Kabanga nickel licenses and applications located in northwestern Tanzania, by completing certain exploration work over a period of three years, and then making a production decision, subject to a 3% net smelter royalty reserved in favor of the Company.  In January 2010, Jinchuan Mining concluded an agreement with Songshan to participate in the exploration and development of the Kabanga nickel properties.  Jinchuan Mining has agreed to act as operator and hold complete financial responsibility for all exploration activities on the nickel exploration licences.



In January 2007, the Company concluded an option and royalty agreement with Sloane over a portion of the Companys Itetemia Property and its entire Luhala gold project.  Under the option agreement, the Company granted Sloane the right to earn a beneficial interest ranging from 90% to 100% in certain Itetemia and Luhala prospecting licenses in the Lake Victoria greenstone belt of Tanzania.  In December 2009, Sloane returned seven Luhala licences to the Company.



The Itetemia Property consists of several contiguous prospecting licenses.  One prospecting license is subject to a 3% net smelter royalty.  The Company has a 90% interest in one other prospecting license, which is subject to a 2% royalty interest.  The other prospecting licenses are owned by the Company.  Under an option agreement dated December 14, 2001 with BEAL, BEAL currently has two (2) prospecting licenses located in the Itetemia Project area, under option with the Company.









---





The Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Agreement) with Ashanti dated September 26, 2006 for the repurchase of the Companys rights to the Kigosi property, including all related camp and equipment, along with the purchase of a non-associated property, the Dongo, from Ashanti in a transaction valued at US$900,000. The price of the acquisition will be satisfied by the Companys issuance to Ashanti of a total of 180,058 common shares of the Company, in two tranches and subject to certain conditions consisting of: (i) the issuance and allotment of 160,052 common shares to be issued in consideration of the transfer to the Company of the Kigosi Rights, as defined in the Agreement; and (ii) subject to receipt of ministerial consent from the Tanzanian government to the transfer from Ashanti to the Company of the Dongo Rights, as defined in the Agreement, the issuance and allotment to Ashanti of 20,006 common shares of the Company.  As of August 31, 2010, the issuance of 20,006 common shares of the Company to Ashanti remains outstanding.



In 2003, the Company signed a royalty and option agreement covering certain prospecting licenses in the Lake Victoria goldfields area of Tanzania with MDN.    Under the agreement, MDN holds the right to earn 100% of the Companys underlying interest in the licenses for an up-front cash payment, plus option payments and property expenditures for each retained licence over the five year life of the agreement, which have been completed.  MDN was to complete a feasibility study and make a production decision by December 31, 2009, and achieve production within 18 months or be subject to cash penalties in lieu of royalty payments.  By agreement between the parties dated January 9, 2007, in consideration for extending the production decision date from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009, MDN issued 125,000 common shares of MDN to the Company.  On November 11, 2009 the Company was advised by MDN that a feasibility study and production decision would not be made by December 31, 2009.  In consideration for a second extension of the feasibility study and production decision date to December 31, 2010, MDN has issued to the Company 125,000 common shares of MDN.The Company retains the right to escalating net smelter royalties on commercial production that are tied to the price of gold and range from 0.5% below US$250 per ounce to a maximum of 2% at US$380 per ounce.



The Company currently has royalty agreements with five (5) industry partners covering many of its  prospecting licences. These licenses are under agreement with BEAL, MDN, Sloane, Kazakh, and Songshan.



At the present time, the Companys land position totals 132 prospecting licenses  in the Lake Victoria Greenstone Belt and Kabanga/Kagera Nickel Belt regions of Tanzania, covering an area of approximately 6,770  square kilometers.



Exploration activities continued during 2010 on the Companys properties located throughout the Lake Victoria Greenstone Belt however emphasis has been primarily placed on the Kigosi Project.    There were no significant property acquisitions during the period; other significant property acquisitions and dispositions are discussed below.



For the year ended August 31, 2010 the Company reported a net loss of $3,427,655.  A total of $10,464 of mineral properties and deferred exploration expenses was written off relating to abandoned mineral properties.    The Company incurred net deferred exploration expenditures of $3,016,060 during the year ended August 31, 2010.



Significant Acquisitions and Significant Dispositions



The Companys principal capital expenditures and divestitures (including interests in other companies and amounts invested) for the last three fiscal years are described as follows:



In January 2009, the Company signed an option and royalty agreement with Kazakh over the Companys  Mwadui Project area diamond licenses and applications, located in the Lake Victoria Greenstone Belt of Tanzania.  Kazakh has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the licenses by fulfilling various option payments over 72 months, whereby the Company will then receive a gross
overriding royalty of 1.5% on all diamonds sold, and a net smelter returns royalty of up to 2% on any other minerals produced.

On February 25, 2009, the Company entered into an option and royalty agreement with Songshan granting Songshan an option to acquire the Companys interest in its  Kabanga nickel licenses and applications located in northwestern Tanzania, by completing certain exploration work over a period of three years, and then making a production decision, subject to a 3% net smelter royalty reserved in favor of the Company.  In January 2010, Jinchuan Mining concluded an agreement with Songshan to participate in the exploration and development of the Kabanga nickel properties.  Jinchuan Mining has agreed to act as operator and hold complete financial responsibility for all exploration activities on the nickel exploration licences.



In January 2007, the Company concluded an option and royalty agreement with Sloane over a portion of the Companys Itetemia Property and its entire Luhala gold project.  Under the option agreement, the Company granted Sloane the right to earn a beneficial interest ranging from 90% to 100% in certain Itetemia and Luhala prospecting licenses in the Lake Victoria greenstone belt of Tanzania.  In December 2009, Sloane returned seven Luhala licences to the Company.    The earn-in portion of the agreement includes prescribed annual cash payments, firm exploration expenditures and a minimum amount of diamond drilling metreage over the life of the agreement. In addition, the Company will receive a sliding scale net smelter royalty for any mineral discovery that achieves commercial production.  The exploration component of the option agreement called for  work commitments of US$1 million which have been completed.  Further provisions in the agreement call for the completion of a bankable feasibility study and the announcement of a production decision before the fifth anniversary of the agreement and the achievement of commercial production before the seventh anniversary.



B.

Business Overview



The Company is a natural resource company, which since its incorporation has engaged in the acquisition of interests in and the exploration of natural resource properties.  The Company commits its own resources to the initial evaluation of mineral properties and in select situations, if and when warranted, the Company will enter into joint venture agreements with other corporations to further the exploration of such properties, in exchange for annual rental/option payments and post-production royalty payments.  At present, the Companys natural resource activities do not generate any income from production.



The Companys general area of interest has been in the exploration of gold properties, with a primary focus on exploring for gold properties in Tanzania.  Tanzania remains the prime focus of the Companys exploration activities.  Other corporations, including Sloane, Kazakh, Songshan Barrick, Ashanti, MDN, and Newmont, have all funded some of the exploration work on the Companys properties in this area since 1999 under option arrangements, with the exception of properties explored by the Companys subsidiary, Tanzam, which was privately funded, and exploration conducted by the Company.

In the Companys view, this joint venture and royalty strategy offers investors leverage to gold prices with lower risk and shareholder dilution.  Future production royalties from any producing properties discovered by the Companys joint venture partners would provide the Company with a direct interest in the mines cash flow, with exposure to any benefits from new discoveries and production growth, but without the capital obligations, and environmental and social liabilities, associated with direct ownership.

Plan of Operations



Exploration Activities



All of the properties in which the Company holds an interest are in the exploration stage only.  Mineral exploration and development involves a high degree of risk and few properties, which are explored, are ultimately developed into producing mines.  There is no assurance that the Companys mineral exploration activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of ore.  The long-term profitability of the Companys operations will be in part directly related to the cost and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors beyond the control of the Company.



By way of general description of the Companys operating activities, the Companys business operations involve using known or published geological and geophysical data to locate mineral resource properties meriting further exploration or development.  Once identified, the Company must stake and apply for registration to title of the mineral properties, or negotiate the acquisition of such properties from any third party owners.  Upon registration or acquisition of title, the Company then designs a program of preliminary exploration which can involve grid mapping, geophysical and magnetic surveying, geochemical surveying, geological sampling, grab sampling, assaying and other forms of prospecting as circumstances may require.  Based on the preliminary results, mineral properties are ranked according to merit for further exploration work, which may involve further mapping, more detailed geophysical and geochemical surveying, and trenching to identify potential drill targets.  If mineralization is indicated which merits further investigation, drill targets are selected, and a diamond drilling program for underground sampling and assaying will commence.



Based on the drilling program results, the Company will develop models of the underlying geology and mineralized zones for more detailed testing.  After further drilling, some mineralized zones may be classified as inferred or indicated mineral resources.  With sufficient infill drilling, these inferred or indicated mineral resources can be confirmed as a measured mineral resource, upon which a pre-feasibility study can be prepared by a qualified, independent mining engineer or geologist to determine whether mining activities are economic in the circumstances of the particular property.  A pre-feasibility study must be completed under the requirements of NI 43-101 in Canada in order for mineral reserves to be designated.  A final or bankable feasibility study must be completed for the designation of reserves under the SECs Industry Guide 7.  If the bankable feasibility study is favorable, the Company can then use the feasibility study to seek out the necessary financing from a merchant banker or other financial institution for mine construction and development. A further mine feasibility study would be prepared to confirm the appropriate mining method based on the metallurgical studies of the ore, and to develop a mining plan.



At any point along this plan of operation, the Company may seek to interest larger mining companies in its mineral properties, which show potential for further development.  It is highly unlikely that the Company would pursue any particular property through to mineral production by itself.  By exploring and developing properties to a point where major mining companies are interested, the Company will leave the risk of mine development and operations to those companies, while retaining a carried interest or royalty from any future production.



During 2010 fiscal year, the Company continued evaluation of all prospecting licenses in its portfolio with a view of offering some of them for royalty agreements to other mining companies.  The evaluation of their potential comprises geological mapping, soil sampling and geophysical interpretations.



The Company continued its efforts for the farming-out of identified properties for royalty agreements with other mining companies, and continues to examine and review other exploration opportunities in Tanzania.

Exploration



The Companys principal exploration properties are currently all located in the United Republic of Tanzania, Africa.  The government of Tanzania is a stable, multi-party democracy.  Mineral exploration in Tanzania is affected by local climatic, political, and economic conditions.  The Companys properties have year round access, although seasonal winter rains from December to March may result in flooding in low lying areas, which are dominated by mbuga (black organic rich laustrine flood soils).  Further, most lowland areas are under active cultivation for corn, rice, beans and mixed crops by subsistence farmers.  As a result, the area has been deforested by local agricultural practices for many years.  The seasonal rains and deforested areas can create a muddy bog in some areas, which can make access more difficult, and could impede or even prevent the transport of heavy equipment to the Companys mineral properties at certain times of the year between December to March.



Competition



The mining industry in which the Company is engaged is in general, highly competitive.  Competitors include well-capitalized mining companies, independent mining companies and other companies having financial and other resources far greater than those of the Company.  The Company competes with other mining companies in connection with the acquisition of gold and other precious metal properties.  In general, properties with a higher grade of recoverable mineral and/or which are more readily mineable afford the owners a competitive advantage in that the cost of production of the final mineral product is lower.  Thus, a degree of competition exists between those engaged in the mining industries to acquire the most valuable properties.  As a result, the Company may eventually be unable to acquire attractive gold mining properties.



Dependence on Customers and Suppliers



The Company is not dependent upon a single or few customers or supplier for revenues or its operations.



Governmental Regulations



The Companys mineral interests in Tanzania are initially held under prospecting licenses granted pursuant to the Mining Act, 1998 (Tanzania) for a period of up to three years, and are renewable two times for a period of up to two years each.  We must pay annual rental fees for our prospecting licenses based on the total area of the license measured in square kilometres, multiplied by US$20.00 per sq. km.  There is also an initial one-time preparation fee of US$200.00 per license.  Upon renewal, we pay a renewal fee of US$200.00 per license.  Renewals of our prospecting licenses can take many months and even years to process by the regulatory authority in Tanzania.



All prospecting licenses in Tanzania also require the holder to expend funds in the employment and training of Tanzanian personnel, which expenditures typically amount to US$5,000 per year, and in exploration expenditures, which are set out in the Mining Act, 1998 (Tanzania).  At each renewal, at least 50% of our licensed area must be relinquished.  If the Company wishes to keep the relinquished one-half portion, it must file a new application for the relinquished portion.



We must hold a mining license to carry on mining activities, and a mining license will only be granted to the holder of a prospecting license over the area.  A mining license is granted for a period of 25 years or the life of the mine.  It is renewable for a period not exceeding 15 years.  We do not hold any mining licenses, only prospecting licenses.  Prospecting and mining license holders must submit regular reports in accordance with mining regulations.  Upon commercial production, the government of Tanzania imposes a royalty on the gross value of all production at the rate of 3% of all gold produced.  The applicable regulatory body in Tanzania is the Ministry of Energy and Minerals.









---





In July 1999, environmental management and protection regulations under the Mining Act, 1998 (Tanzania) came into force.  An environmental impact statement and an environmental management plan must accompany special mining license, mining license and gemstone mining license applications for mineral rights.  In addition to the establishment of environmental regulations, the Tanzanian Government has improved management procedures for effective monitoring and enforcement of these regulations by strengthening the institutional capacity, especially in the field offices.  The Government has provided rules for the creation of reclamation funds to reinstate land to alternative uses after mining and it has developed guidelines for mining in restricted areas, such as forest reserves, national parks, sources of water and other designated areas.  These regulations have not had any material adverse effect on the Companys operations, which are exploration in nature at this time.



As of November 1, 2010 new Tanzania Mining Regulations came into effect.  Significant changes include:



·

Prospecting Licence annual rental increases to US$40/sq.km for initial period, $50/sq.km. for first renewal and $60/sq.km. for second renewal;

·

Prospecting licence renewals must be submitted a minimum of one month before expiry;

·

Relinquished half of prospecting licence cannot immediately be applied for;

·

Prospecting licences less than 20 sq.km. are no longer required to be halved on renewal;

·

Prospecting licence mineral categories are redefined;

·

No more than 20 prospecting licences will be granted to a company unless total area of prospecting licences is less than 2,000 sq.km.

Kigosi Project



Property Description and Location



The Kigosi Project area encompasses approximately 653 square kilometres, principally located within the Kigosi Game Reserve controlled area.  Through prospecting and mining option agreements, the Company has options to acquire interests in several Kigosi prospecting licenses.  To maintain the options, the Company is required to make certain expenditures and fund all exploration costs of the properties.



The Kigosi Project is located in the Sukumaland Province in northwest Tanzania, some 100 km south of Lake Victoria within the Shinyanga Region (see property location map above).



Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography



The property is accessed via air from the city of Dar Es Salaam on the Indian Ocean coast to the city of Mwanza on the southern shoreline of Lake Victoria.  From Mwanza, a moderately maintained tar road accesses the town of Ushirombo, via the towns of Shinyanga and Kahama, around the southern part of the Lake, referred to as Smith Sound.  This trip is approximately 400 km and takes some 5 hours.  From the town of Ushirombo one keeps heading east along the main Burundi tar road for approximately 6 km, where a dirt track allows access into the Kigosi Game Reserve.



The southern bulk of the Kigosi Project area is wholly located within the northern sector of the Kigosi game reserve with a third of the licenses being located in the adjacent Nikonga-Ushirombo Forestry reserves further north.  As per legal and mandatory requirements, the Company acquired respective renewable permits from the Departments of Game Reserves and Forestry Reserves of the Ministry of Wildlife and Tourism to conduct exploration activities in both the game and forestry reservation areas throughout the year.  Access to the main Kigosi exploration camp via the dirt track has been substantially improved by the Company to allow access by four wheel drive vehicles during the rainy season.



The exploration camp at Kigosi was established by AngloGold Ashanti in proximity to the Luhwaika gold workings, the principal discovery zone in the Kigosi Project area. The camp is predominantly a tented facility with larger semi-permanent structures employed for offices and storage facilities. Recent construction included the installation of metal containers which will be utilized as living and office quarters. Communications at the camp are via satellite internet and telephone.Repair work on the access road into Kigosi has been a priority since the rainy season and earth moving equipment was brought in to improve the roadbed and facilitate traffic flow.





The access track passes over the Shiperenge River, a tributary to the Nikonga River and both are perennial rivers, typically dry in the winter months and overflowing during the October-May rainy season.  Three (3) large ponds located on the Nikonga River were the only close source of water until recently when the company drilled a highly productive water borehole located some 5km northwest of the camp.  The river water is mainly used for the operations of our recently installed bulk sampling plant while drinking water for the camp is pumped via pipeline from the borehole to the camp.  The Nikonga and Shiperenge rivers have played a major part in structuring the physiographic landscape in the area.  These rivers drain southwards into the Moyowosi and Njingwe Swamps.  Small undulating granite hills form the topographic highs, and generally trend northwest.  These hills make up approximately 5% of the project area.  The climate is typical of an African tropical climate, being hot during the day and cooling down in the evenings.  Winters are very mild, but a blanket is needed in the early hours of the mornings.  Kigosi fall within a malaria area, and precautions are necessary. Tsetse flies are also present in some parts of the project area.  The region is heavily forested, but has only limited wildlife, chiefly small gazelle and baboons.

Geology and Mineralization



The Kigosi-Miyabi granite-greenstone belt and the Ushirombo greenstone belt, form part of two of the greenstone belts within the Nyanzian Archaean greenstone terrain in northwestern Tanzania.  These belts host small-scale artisanal workings at Luhwaika and Igunda within the core project area at Kigosi and further to the southeast. The Ushirombo Greenstone Belt has been extensively explored by geologists and small scale miners over the past decade. It consists predominantly of mafic volcanics with lesser meta-sedimentary rocks across an east-west trending belt some 50 kilometres in strike. Gold mineralization generally occurs in narrow quartz veins.  The Kigosi-Miyabi Greenstone Belt has been less explored, mainly because of the location within the Kigosi Game Reserve.



Several prominent regional scale NW trending structural lineaments, interpreted as regional shear zones, appear to be the major conduits and controls for the localization of gold mineralization in the Kigosi area.  There is also a prominent NNW trending set of regional scale lineaments that are believed to be deep seated sources of the gold bearing fluids.



The Company previously discovered three new gold occurrences on the Kigosi Property, forming a part of the Companys Lake Victoria Goldfield Properties held through its subsidiary, Tanzam.   In April 2009, J.G. Deane, Pr.Sci.Nat and P. Zizhou, Pr.Sci.Nat., completed a NI 43-101 compliant technical report on the Kigosi Project entitled, Report on 2001 - 2008 Exploration Programs Kigosi Project Area,Ushirombo District, Shinyanga Region, in the United Republic of Tanzania, East Africa (the Preliminary Kigosi Report).



The following summaries on the Luwaika Gold Reef Prospect, Luhwaika Gravel Deposit, Igunda Gold Reef Prospect and the Msonga Prospect, are mainly excerpted from that report. In addition, a brief summary of the work done in these areas during the year are briefly summarized.



Luhwaika Prospect



Gold mineralization at the Luhwaika Prospect occurs in a series of sub-parallel and variably auriferous shear zones. The geological setting of the Luhwaika Gold Prospect shows many characteristics that are typical of classic mesothermal lode gold deposits.



At Luhwaika, two principal shear zones have been identified: the Luhwaika Main and Luhwaika West reefs. These reefs carry significant gold mineralization as evidenced by strike extensive small-scale mining and exploration shafts, and more recent drill results. The gold mineralization in the Luhwaika Main reef is structurally controlled, consisting mostly of lodes of laminated quartz veins impregnated in strongly sheared and altered quartz sericite schist with occasional massive tabular whitish-grey quartz vein blow-outs. These veins are shear hosted, with lesser extensional veins noted in outcrop in the granite host rock.



The Luhwaika West reef, located 100-200 metres in the hanging-wall and sub-parallel to the Luhwaika Main reef, consists mainly of shear-zone hosted tabular quartz veins that often contain irregular hematite filled fracture surfaces.



Gravel Deposit



During a previous detailed vertical RC-drilling program on the Luhwaika Prospect, the company established the presence of a consistent and sizeable near-surface quartz-rubble bed with a potentially significant economic potential. In consequence, the company commenced a detailed bulk sampling program on this potentially economic rubble bed in September of 2010. A mobile gravity separation plant
was installed on the property and two test pits were completed in the Luhwaika Area to secure gravel material for the test program. The two pits were mapped and sampled and relevant cross-sections were produced for planning purposes.The sample material was subsequently processed through the gravity plant to establish gold grades along with gold recovery rates.

In addition, this preliminary processing of the gravel was also used to determine optimum plant parameters as well as establish the best way to recover gold nuggets that seem to be prevalent in the rubble bed.



The Luhwaika Prospect is host to a potentially economic gravel deposit which is likely a direct result of surface collapse and erosion of the Luhwaika Main and West reefs. Artisanal mining activity has concentrated on this loose quartz rubble deposit which is easily accessible for mining. High grade gravels have so far been identified in three areas: the Luhwaika West reef, the Luhwaika Main reef and the Luhwaika East area.



Igunda Prospect



The structural setting of the Igunda Gold Prospect is similar to that of the Luhwaika Prospect with the exception that the former is hosted in mafic greenstone rocks intruded by lenses of felsic granitoids including quartz-feldspar porphyry. At Igunda, two principal shear zones have been identified: the Igunda A and B reefs.Closely associated with the reefs are sub parallel quartz feldspar porphyry units.



Gold mineralization is structurally controlled and the Igunda Reefs are localized in two sub-vertical dipping northwest striking shear zones, dipping steeply (75o  85o) to the northeast. Gold mineralization also occurs in the host wall rock up to over a meter and is not confined to the veins.



Exploration History



From 1998 to 2007 the Company and AngloGold-Ashanti conducted regional and detailed exploration work on the Kigosi Project Area including airborne magnetics, soil sampling, mapping and trenching. The aeromagnetic survey flown in 1999 covered the entire Ushirombo greenstone belt and parts of the Miyabi-Kigosi greenstone belt. Limited field work was conducted by the Company during this initial period including a helicopter visit to the Luhwaika artisanal site which included grab sampling and mapping.



In June 2002 the Company sent a team to investigate the Luhwaika and Igunda showings at which time a more thorough grab sampling program was conducted. Positive results from this sampling led to further sampling and a small mapping program was initiated. A Landsat and radiometric investigation was also conducted on the Kigosi Project Area in 2003.



AngloGold-Ashanti conducted a detailed airborne survey in 2003 that covered the eastern Kigosi licenses. A soil sampling program was also conducted as part of initial follow-up work on prospective aeromagnetic anomalies which were later classified as the Msonga, Bungoni, Luhwaika and Igunda prospect areas. AngloGold-Ashanti conducted limited trenching at both Luhwaika and Igunda.



With the return of the Kigosi Project Area to the Company, field operations commenced in September 2007. Exploration work including bio-geochem, geophysics and RC drilling were centered on known workings such as the Igunda and Luhwaika Prospects. In addition, prospective gold-in-soil anomalies identified from the initial regional soil surveys of AngloGold-Ashanti were followed up.



Over the past nine years, the Company has conducted extensive exploration over its Kigosi Project Area, focusing mainly on the known Luhwaika artisanal workings that currently remain the main
exploration target.

Msonga Prospect



Drilling



Previous extensive exploration and resource definition drilling was focused on the Luhwaika and Igunda gold occurrences in the southern sector of the Kigosi Project area. However, in 2010 our drilling focus was shifted to the Msonga Prospect on the north end of the Kigosi property. The program has sought to achieve a drill fence spacing of 200 metres and drill-hole spacing along each fence line of 30 metres over the main 7km-long Msonga Au-in-soil anomaly. In the period September 2009 to September 2010, the company completed 200 Reverse Rotary Blast (RAB) drill-holes totaling 5,901m, 109 inclined Reverse Circulation (RC) drill-holes totaling 5,981m.  We will also initiate a series of closely spaced short vertical RC drill-holes on widely spaced drill fences to investigate the potential and likely presence of a distinctive auriferous surficial lateritic quartz rubble deposit with up to 95% angular vein quartz rubble cemented by ferricrete that is reminiscent of an in-situ eluvial deposit can generate a readily available resource of immediate economic interest. An additional 297 drill-holes toaling 3.702 m were completed during this program.



The down-hole geology in the bulk of the drilled holes is mainly highly weathered basalt easily distinguished into mottled, saprolite and saprock zones. The depth of weathering is generally down to 30m or more. Potential reef zones appear to comprise of variable quartz veining in highly weathered but schistose mafic schist with rare appearance of pyrite in less weathered zones. In some places, the mineralized zones occur as wide zones of finely disseminated pyrite in moderately to strongly silicified meta-basalt in fresh rock.



The second phase of our RC drilling program is still in progress on the Msonga Prospect.

Itetemia Property



Property Description and Location



The Itetemia Property consists of contiguous prospecting licenses covering approximately 50km2.  In January 2007, the Company concluded an option and royalty agreement with Sloane over a portion of the Companys Itetemia project.  Under the option agreement, the Company granted Sloane the right to earn a beneficial interest ranging from 90% to 100% in  prospecting licenses comprising a portion of the Itetemia Project (see Item 4. Information on the Company - Significant Acquisitions and Significant Dispositions above).  The Itetemia Property is located in the Mwanza Region of the Lake Victoria Greenstone Region, Tanzania, approximately 90 kilometres by air southwest of the city of Mwanza, situated on the south shore of Lake Victoria (see property location map above).









---





Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography



The property is accessed via local roads from Geita or by plane from Mwanza to an airstrip accommodating the neighbouring Bulyanhulu Mine, owned by Barrick.  The Barrick airstrip is 3.75 km west of the western boundary of the Itetemia prospecting license, and approximately 4 km northeast of the Nyamykonze village. Local resources are available at Mwanza, located on the southern shore of Lake Victoria.



The topography in the region and on the property consists of large flat-lying areas surrounded by numerous small hills. The hills have elevations of up to 100 m above local terrain.  The hills are thickly vegetated and access is only possible along cut lines.  Little outcrop exists on the property. The climate is similar to the rest of the region.  The rainy season starts in November and lasts to the middle of April, but precipitation is irregular from one season to another. The dry seasons are usually hot. Mwanza, located along the southern shore of Lake Victoria, can, and has, provided limited supplies for mining and exploration operations in the area.  Dwellers in the area of the Itetemia Project, such as the neighbouring Nyamykonze village, are traditionally subsistence farmers and ranchers, and have limited mining experience from the Bulyanhulu operation and numerous small scale activities.  Water for the purpose of mining and processing is not readily available in the region; however, a pipeline from Lake Victoria built by Barrick for its Bulyanhulu Mine, provides an adequate supply.



The large, relatively flat terrain surrounding the known gold mineralization may be suitable for potential tailings and waste rock storage and for heap leach pads and a potential processing plant. Electric power is available via the national grid within 5 km; due to the unreliability of such power, alternative forms of residual or back-up power would be necessary for mining or processing operations, such as diesel power generation used by Barrick at its Bulyanhulu mine.



Ownership



Prior Ownership



With respect to one Itetemia prospecting license, the interest of the Company was acquired from Stamico pursuant to a joint venture agreement dated July 12, 1994 (the Stamico Venture Agreement).  The Stamico Venture Agreement obligated the Company to make two initial payments of TSh$1,000,000 and US$7,200 to Stamico, both of which were satisfied.



The Companys Interest



Through prospecting and mining option agreements, the Company has options to acquire interests in several Itetemia Property prospecting licenses.  The prospecting licenses comprising the Itetemia Property, are indirectly  held by the Company; through the Companys subsidiaries, Tancan or Tanzam. Inthe case of one prospecting license, Tancan acquired its interest pursuant to the Stamico Venture Agreement, as amended June 18, 2001 and July 2005, which provides, among other things, that:



1.

Tancan had to pay Stamico, on execution of the Stamico Venture Agreement, the sum of US$7,200 (as an advance against the 2% gross revenue royalty) and TSh1,000,000.



2.

Tancan and Stamico were to form a joint venture company for the purpose of holding the prospecting license that shall be held 10% by Stamico (with no obligation to contribute) and 90% by Tancan, which was effected through the formation of Itetemia Mining Co.



3.

Stamico is entitled to acquire an additional 20% interest in the joint venture company by paying a sum equal to 20% of the cost of placing the property into commercial production based on the feasibility study submitted to the Government of Tanzania for such purpose.







---







4.

Tancan shall assist Stamico in raising the required capital to exercise the right referred to in (3) above.



5.

Tancan was to expend the sum of US$25,000 in the first year and US$50,000 annually thereafter in relation to the training of Tanzanian personnel.



6.

Upon commencement of commercial production, Stamico shall receive a 2% gross revenue royalty, which shall be increased to a 2.5% gross revenue royalty should a mine on the Itetemia prospecting license produce recoverable gold in excess of 12 grams per tonne.



7.

Tancan shall pay to Stamico, as an advance against the 2% gross revenue royalty, the sum of US$7,200 on or before every anniversary of the Stamico Venture Agreement up until the development phase, upon and after which the annual sum of US$10,000 shall be paid as an advance against such royalty.



8.

Tancan shall show preference to Stamico for the provision of local materials and services during the period of mining operations.



9.

As amended July 2005, Tancan had to pay to Stamico the sum of US$15,000 on or before July 12 of 2006 and 2007,and ending upon commercial production, provided that commercial production commences by December 31, 2007, failing which the aforementioned payment shall be revisited.  As expected, commercial production did not commence by December 31, 2007.  In 2008, the annual option fee was renegotiated to US$25,000 per annum until commercial production.



10.

Tancan may assign its rights under the agreement, subject to the prior written consent of Stamico.





In January 2007, the Company concluded an option and royalty agreement with Sloane over a portion of the Companys Itetemia Property.  Under the option agreement, the Company granted Sloane the right to earn a beneficial interest ranging from 90% to 100% in certain Itetemia prospecting licenses in the Lake Victoria greenstone belt of Tanzania.



The Itetemia prospecting licences  are adjacent to Barricks Bulyanhulu gold mine.

Geology



The Lake Victoria area contains 12 Archean Nyanzian greenstone belts which are surrounded by and have been interrupted by numerous granitic intrusions.  The Nyanzian belts comprise a volcano-sedimentary sequence composed of mafic to felsic volcanics (lavas and tuffs), BIF and shales. The greenstone belts have been grouped into locally distinct geographic regions.  One of these regions is the Southwest Mwanza Region which includes a large area south of town of Mwanza, located on the south shore of Lake Victoria.  There are five greenstone belts in the Southwest Mwanza Region, one of which is the Ushirombo belt. The Ushirombo belt is an east-west trending belt, the eastern end of which is located approximately 25 km west of the southern end of Smith Sound on Lake Victoria. The eastern end of the belt is arcuate in shape and trends northerly tangential to the northwestern flank of the Siga Hills.



The Itetemia Property is underlain by the northerly trending eastern portion of the Ushirombo Nyanzian greenstone belt.  Granite underlies the eastern and northern portions of the property.  The greenstone/granite contact trends northerly through the east-central portion of the Itetemia prospecting license and through the central portion of the Itetemia East prospecting license onto the Itetemia Village license; at which point, the contract tends westerly through the Mwingilo license cutting the northeast corner of the Ngula license. Sixty percent of the Itetemia, Itetemia North and Ngula licenses are underlain by the Nyanzian greenstone belt.  The remaining 40% is underlain by granite.  Granite variably underlies 90 to 100% of the Itetemia East, Itetemia Village and Mwingilo prospecting licenses. The mbuga soil covers 10 to 40% of the property.



Mineralization



The sulphide mineralization encountered on the Itetemia Property comprise massive to semi-massive, stringers, veins and veinlets, disseminated and nodular mineralization.  The types of mineralization are (i) sulphides associated with volcanism activity; (ii) remobilized sulphides associated with deformation (shear hosted); and (iii) sulphides associated with sedimentation.  The gold and metallic contents associated with this mineralization are variable and the relation between the grades and the mineralized type is not well known at this stage.



The massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralization seems to be related to volcanism.  It occurs in two areas on the Property.  One area is located in the northern part of the licenses and has been intersected by the hole ITDD-06.  More than 30 m. of sulphides were intersected at the contact between a QFP and an argillite horizon separating two pillowed basalts.  The sulphide content ranges from 10 to 90% pyrrhotite, 2 to 5% pyrite, trace to 5% sphalerite, trace to 1% copper.



The Golden Horseshoe Reef mineralization occurs as massive sulphide veins locally ranging from 15-30 cm wide.  Sulphides dominantly appear in veins/veinlets less than 5 cm wide in felsic volcanic rocks.  Five to thirty percent pyrite-pyrrhotite is common over sections of 1 to 15 m along the holes.  They are sub-concordant and parallel to the schistosity.  The strong shearing at the Golden Horseshoe Reef probably represents a remobilization of the sulphides.



Exploration



Since entering into the option agreement with Sloane in 2007, Sloane has carried out the exploration work on the licenses comprising a portion of the Itetemia property under option to Sloane.



The majority of the exploration work in 2007 consisted of RC and diamond drilling, along with limited ground geophysics.  Exploration crews were mobilized to the Itetemia Project in August 2007 and drilling commenced in mid-September.  The first phase drill program completed 10 RC holes aggregating 1,489 metres and eight diamond drill holes totaling 2,286.5 metres.  The drill program targeted the
shallowest part of the previously established Golden Horseshoe Reef with a view to developing an open pit resource with a notional floor level of 200 metres below surface.  In support of preparation of a resource estimate, drill holes were sited to provide data at grid points at or below 50 x 50 metres spacing.  A number of deeper holes were also sited to test the extent of the mineralized body at depth and along strike.







---









During the period ended August 31, 2010, no direct property work was conducted on the Itetemia property by Sloane.  However, data analysis from past programs on Itetemia continued, as Sloane pursued financing options and a listing on a major stock exchange.



The Company has incurred total net costs (after any recoveries and write offs) of $5,945,934 on the Itetemia Property to August 31, 2010.



THE ITETEMIA PROPERTY IS WITHOUT KNOWN MINERAL RESERVES AND ANY PROPOSED PROGRAM IS AN EXPLORATORY SEARCH FOR ORE.



Luhala Property



Property Description and Location



The Luhala property is located in Misungwi District of Mwanza Region of Tanzania (see property location map above).  It lies approximately 70 kilometres south of the city of Mwanza.  The Luhala prospecting licenses are in good standing with respect to required filings and payments with the Government of Tanzania.



In January 2007, the Company concluded an option royalty agreement with Sloane for its Luhala property.  Under the option agreement, the Company granted Sloane the right to earn a 100% beneficial interest in the Luhala Project.  In December 2009, Sloane returned seven Luhala licences to the Company.



The Luhala property covers an area of approximately 60 square kilometres.  The target on the Luhala property is gold stockwork mineralization associated with felsic rock units in dilatational structures.



Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography



Access to the Luhala Property is via the main Mwanza  Shinyanga road, which is a single lane, good to excellent quality, asphalt highway.  Approximately 45 kms south of Mwanza, a dirt road from a junction at the settlement of Manawa, leads southwest to the town of Misasi.  The property has year round access, although seasonal winter rains, December to March, may result in flooding in low lying areas which are dominated by mbuga (black organic rich laustrine flood soils).  Most lowland areas are under active cultivation, corn, rice, beans and mixed crops, by subsistence farmers.  Low scrub and thorn bushes cover the small hills.  The area has been, for many years, deforested by local agricultural practices.



At Luhala, the mean elevation is approximately 1,200 m above sea level, with a series of small sub-rounded hills, rising up to one hundred metres above the surrounding plain.  These hills are typically formed by either resistive iron formations or felsic volcanic rocks.  Mafic volcanic rocks weather recessively and are typically only exposed in trenches through well formed laterite profiles.  Laterite development is extensive with brick-red laterites overlying weak mottled zones and saprolites at a depth of approximately 3-5 ms.  Deep weathering penetrates 45 - 60 ms vertically within the subsurface.









---





An enthusiastic and competent labor force is available through the surrounding villages, and local people have been routinely hired during the trenching, drilling and soil sampling programs conducted on this property.  However, no other significant infrastructure is available.



History



Luhala has had a significantly more protracted exploration history than Lunguya, beginning with the initial exploration by the then Tanganyikan Geological Survey in 1947.  The exploration history of Luhala since 2006 to 2010 may be summarized as:



LUHALA EXPLORATION HISTORY SYNOPSIS

|2008 | Sloane Developments Ltd. | Data analysis                 
|2009 | Sloane Developments Ltd. | Data analysis                 
|2010 | Sloane Developments Ltd. | Data analysis                 



Geology



Luhala is found within the eastern portion of the Buhungukira Belt, a local place name assigned to one to the eight greenstone belts in the Lake Victoria District.  These rocks are believed to be the eastern continuation of the Geita Greenstone Belt and consist of dominantly Upper Nyanzian rock sequences.



In the Luhala area, the predominant structural grain is dominated by an early deformational event which has deformed all supracrustal rocks into tight, south to southwest plunging, west overturned, synforms and antiforms.  The short limbs of these folds may have east-west strikes and modest, 40 degree south dips. The long limbs of these folds have north to northeast strikes and generally much steeper, 60  80 degree, and east dips.



At Luhala, three principal mineralized zones have been identified. These include Kisunge Hill, Shilalo South, and Shilalo West.  All of the three principal mineralized areas are linked by a common southwest plunging antiform, the limbs of which are separated by 500 to 800 ms and converge just south of Line 6200 E and 3800 N.  Mineralization to Kisunge Hill is associated with a chert  felsic volcanic contact.  As Shilalo South, structurally controlled gold mineralization closely tracks the position of a massive to locally well-bedded chert or cherty iron formation.  The results of diamond drilling in Shilalo West strongly outline the importance of the felsic volcanic - chert  structural sites and gold association.  For example, borehole LSD  08A is collared in the hangingwall to the Shilalo West mineralized zone, traverses the host rhyolite-chert lithology, and terminates in the footwall.  This borehole intersected significant gold mineralization of 3.55 g/t Au over 5 m near the hangingwall contact of the felsic volcanic rocks, and is mineralized repeatedly at over one gram ranges throughout much of the felsic host interval, which in this borehole is over 35 metres thick.



The felsic volcanic rock package at Shilalo West once again presents an excellent structural site for the development of dilatant sites and gold mineralization.  As of Shilalo South, a well defined planar, brittle-ductile structural zone was not identified at Shilalo West.  Gold distribution is likely related to the presence of extensional and shear extensional veinlets, which are developed within the felsic volcanic rocks at or near, the felsic volcanic red tuff contact.









---





Exploration



During the period ended August 31, 2010, no site-based exploration work was conducted by Sloane on the Luhala Property.



At Luhala, three principal mineralized zones have been identified: Kisunge Hill, Shilalo South, and Shilalo West.  Gold mineralization is associated with zones of diffuse silicification, localized around small scale fractures within competent chert and felsic volcanic rock units.  There has been no exploration field work carried out by the Company on the Luhala Property during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010.



Mineralization



At Luhala, gold mineralization is associated with zones of diffuse silicification, localized around small cm and mm scale fractures within competent chert and felsic volcanic rock units.  Major discordant vein structures are not identified and planar high strain zones are absent.



No specific gravity data have been calculated for any of the rocks cored in these intervals and without strong cross sectional control, no reliable resource estimates for any of the principal mineralized zones at Kisunge, Shilalo South and Shilalo West may be calculated.



The Company has incurred total net costs (after any recoveries) of $3,842,114 on the Luhala Property to August 31, 2010.



THE LUHALA PROPERTY IS WITHOUT KNOWN MINERAL RESERVES AND ANY PROPOSED EXPLORATION PROGRAM IS AN EXPLORATORY SEARCH FOR ORE.



Lunguya Project Area



Property Description and Location



The Lunguya Property is located in the Kahama District of Tanzania, and the Companys interest therein is held indirectly through Tanzam.  The Lunguya Property is situated in the Lake Victoria Greenstone Belts, approximately 100 kms by air to the southwest of Mwanza and about 15 kms south of Bulyanhulu.  The Lunguya Property covers an area of approximately 137 square kilometres.



With respect to Lunguya PL 1766/01 in January, 2003, a Shareholders Agreement was entered into wherein a new company, Lunguya Mining Company Limited (LMC), was created to form a joint venture between Northern Mining and Consultancy Company Limited (NMCCL), Tanzam and LMC.  Tanzam has a 60% shareholding and NMCCL has the remaining 40% shareholding in LMC.



In February 2010, the Company entered into an Option and Royalty Agreement with Joseph Magunila and Partners (JMP) over an area in the Kahama District of the Shinyanga Region in Tanzania 100% owned by JMP.  The agreement grants the Company an option to acquire up to 90% of JMPs interest and/or, at the sole discretion of the Company, to enter into a mining and exploration services agreement.  The Company paid US$90,000 for this option.



Through prospecting and mining option agreements, the Company has options to acquire interests in the Lunguya prospecting licenses.  To maintain the options, the Company is required to make certain expenditures and fund all exploration costs of the properties.









---





Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography



The Lunguya Property can be reached by plane from Mwanza to an airstrip accommodating Bulyanhulu or by road via Geita up to the Bulyanhulu/Kahama road intersection. From Kahama, the property is located approximately 8 kms to the south, toward Lunguya village. Secondary roads and trails traverse the property. The Nyamakwenge Reef, located in the northeastern part of the property, can be accessed using a 12 kms dirt tract passing to the north of the property.  Climate and elevation are similar to the Luhala Property.



Very little outcrop (less than 1%) has been identified at Lunguya.  The entire property is flat and covered largely by granitic sands and grey orange laterities derived from granitic sources.  Like Luhala, Lunguya is actively cultivated, but also is being actively mined by a few score artisanal miners along the trend of the Nyamakwenge Reefs.  No significant infrastructure, power or water is available on site.  However, the entire infrastructure of the region including electricity, air transport, health clinics, schools, and improved road networks, have been greatly improved due to the proximity to Barricks Bulyanhulu mine, some 20 kms to the north.



History



The project was acquired by the Company in 2001 and a program of bulk leach extractable gold (BLEG) sampling, geological mapping, rock sampling, RC and diamond drilling was initiated.



Geology



The very limited outcrop exposures on the Lunguya concession necessitate development of a geological and interpretive environment largely based on geophysical interpretations.



Regionally, Lunguya is located near the eastern terminus of the inner volcanic arc, lower Nyanzian, of the Sukumaland Greenstone belt.  The succession is dominated by tholeiitic volcanic rocks containing lesser felsic tuffaceous rocks and argillaceous horizons cut by thin quartz porphyry dykes and sills.  The thick, banded iron formation and felsic flows characteristic of the outer arc Upper Nyanzian sequence are absent. Most of the map scale granite  greenstone contacts strike north-south.  No information is available with respect to the orientation of sub-surface contacts.



At Lunguya, all currently known, auriferous structural zones track at an oblique angle, the eastern granodiorite-mafic volcanic contact.  Auriferous veins strike at 020° to 030° with the dominant intrusive volcanic contact trending at approximately 360°.  On the property scale, two 330° trending fault  structures are interpreted to offset the Lunguya vein into two fault repeated vein segments, having strike lengths of  approximately 180 and 300 m.  A few score artisanal miners have exploited these veins to a depth not exceeding 30 vertical ms subsurface. A second set of auriferous reefs, the Nyikoboko Reefs, are located 12 kilometres to the south. This area is associated with a smaller set of largely inactive artisanal dumps and workings.



Based on the aeromagnetic data a model has been proposed whereby a large NS trending shear zone is believed to exist below a thick black cotton soil (mbuga) cover. The thin veins associated with the Nyikoboko and Nyamakwengwe reefs probably represent secondary structures from the main shear. This idea has been tested using biogeochemistry.



Mineralization



Lunguya is a mineralized brittle ductile strain zone, developing internal to a major granite-greenstone contact. Gold is associated with one fault offset vein which is likely broken into two segments,

the Western and Eastern reefs.  Lesser veins are also present.  Initial sampling of artisanal vein waste dumps indicated the presence of well mineralized dump samples.  The site contained greater than 200 of these small pits-shafts ranging from 1 to 20 metres deep.



Diamond drill and RC programs at Lunguya have demonstrated geological continuity of the Nyamakwenge West and East Reefs but weaker continuity of grade.  The difficulty in obtaining representative gold grades from small core samples of vein material containing coarse particulate gold is a well documented phenomenon. Widths in these boreholes are approximately true widths and the boreholes have been collared roughly perpendicular to the strike and dip of the mineralized structural zones.



Drilling



Two programs of drilling where initiated on the Lunguya property during 2002. This included a seven hole RC program totaling 535 metres completed in late August 2002.  A follow-up diamond drill program consisting of 1175 metres, in 18 boreholes was completed in November and December of 2002.



Core recovery measurements where made on site by a geotechnician of the Company.  RC boreholes (LGRC 01  07) utilized the same grid system as the diamond drill program.  The location of all drill collars were marked with concrete monuments.  Drilling was concentrated on the Lunguya Reefs (11 boreholes) with three boreholes completed on the Nyikoboko Reefs.



Exploration



Limited exploration activities were carried out on the Lunguya property during fiscal 2010. However a Primary Mining Licence (PML) was acquired by Tanzam in February 2010. Artisanal mining activity has ceased on the Lunguya property and illegal pits have been closed and the area of concern fenced in.  The manufacturer of the bulk sampling plant equipment for Kigosi has agreed to install a test plant on the Lunguya property at no charge to the Company.



A NI 43-101 compliant study was completed for the Lunguya project. For additional information regarding the Lunguya Property the reader is referred to the complete text of a technical report prepared in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101 dated February 8, 2010, entitled, Report on the Lunguya Mineral Exploration Property of Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation in the Kahama District, Shinyanga Region of the United Republic of Tanzania, East Africa by Martin J. Taylor, P.Geo.  The Preliminary Lunguya Report is available online at www.sedar.com, filed on February 16, 2010 under the heading, Technical Report (NI 43-101).





The Company has deferred total net costs (after any recoveries and write offs) of $2,953,363 on the Lunguya Property to August 31, 2010.



THE LUNGUYA PROPERTY IS WITHOUT KNOWN MINERAL RESERVES AND ANY EXPLORATION PROGRAM IS AN EXPLORATORY SEARCH FOR ORE.



Biharamulo/Tulawaka Project Area



Property Description and Location



The Biharamulo/Tulawaka Project Areas are located in the Biharamulo District of Kagera Region of Tanzania and is approximately 160 kilometres west-southwest of Mwanza.     The Biharamulo/Tulawaka prospecting licenses are in good standing with respect to required filings and
payments with the Government of Tanzania.  Several of the Biharamulo/Tulawaka prospecting licenses are under option to MDN.  The Biharamulo/Tulawaka Project covers an area of approximately 199 square kilometres.  The properties lay on an east-west magnetic trend, between the Kakindu gold discovery (Ashanti) and the Tuluwaka gold discovery (Pangea).







---









Geology and Mineralization



The Tulawaka Project Area is located in the western sector of the Rwamagaza Greenstone Belt.  One prospecting license is underlain predominantly by granite and the remainder has mixed assemblages of both granite and greenstone.  The Rwamagaza Greenstone Belt is located in the Lake Victoria Gold Belt.  The southern part of the Gold Belt (the Sukumaland greenstones) consists of two concentric belts, separated by granite.  The inner belt, the Rwamagaza belt, comprises mainly mafic volcanics of the lower Nyanzian System.  The principal ore deposit in the region is the Tulawaka deposit (±1 mil ounces of gold) owned by BEAL.



The Rwamagaza Greenstone Belt is an east-west trending belt.  The dip of the greenstones is generally sub-vertical.  This belt is renowned for its artisanal laterite workings with Matabi (±200,000 ounces of gold), being the largest.  Regionally, and crosscutting the belt in the Tulawaka area, is a set of parallel regional shear structures, referred to as the Muhama Dislocation.  This dislocation can be traced from Golden Pride Mine in the Nzega Belt, through the Miyabi region and through Tulawaka.  These structures are spatially related to a host of gold occurrences, including Golden Pride, Chocolate Reef, Miyabi, Nyakafuru and Tuluwaka.  These structures crosscut the Rwamagaza Belt in the vicinity of Tulawaka.  The loci for gold mineralization are typically at the intersection of parallel second order structures, and structures with a different orientation (often north-south).



Exploration



Some notable exploration successes were reported by MDN which has a number of licenses under option from the Company in the Tulawaka area of Tanzania.  In September and October of 2006, MDN tested several gold targets on its 102.9 km2 Nyantimba licenses 15 kilometres north of the Tulawaka gold mine.  A total of 53 RC holes were drilled as a follow-up to the previous year's rotary air blast (RAB) program which produced a significant discovery of mineralization in the Viyonza zone.  Assay results from the 2,689 metres of drilling included 2.0 metres grading 35.95 g/t, 3.0 metres averaging 17.15 g/t and 2.0 metres of 13.18 g/t.



A second discovery of mineralization was made by MDN on ground optioned from the Company in the Mnezeki area 20 kilometres east of the Tulawaka Gold Mine. This discovery returned one of the highest grade gold intercepts reported from the region in recent years: 30.08 g/t gold over 6.0 metres.  Further assay results were reported by MDN from the Mnezeki area in August 2007 including 8.0 metres averaging 2.41 g/t.  A total of 1,736 metres of RC drilling and 1,252 metres of RAB drilling have been completed on the Mnezeki Project.  Follow-up work failed to find extensions to previously defined mineralization.



A soil geochemical program conducted by MDN on the Viyonza Project in 2007 significantly increased the size of the area previously targeted for exploration. The 102.9 km2 Viyonza Project is located approximately 15 km north of the Tulawaka Gold Mine in Tanzania and is the subject of an option agreement with the Company.  Additional soil sampling is planned on the Viyonza Project to evaluate several favorable areas at the contact between the granodiorite and the volcanic rocks.  Follow-up work is planned by MDN on the Isozibi occurrence,whichislocated about 17 kilometres northwest of the Tulawaka Gold Mine process plant.

Ushirombo Project Area





Property Description, Location, Access, and Infrastructure



The Ushirombo Project encompasses an area of approximately 172 square kilometres within one of the principal Archaean greenstone belts of Tanzania, the Ushirombo Greenstone Belt, in the southwestern part of the Lake Victoria goldfields.  The property is located about 30 kms southeast of the Tulawaka gold mine, held 70% by Pangea Minerals Ltd., a subsidiary of Barrick, and 30% by MDN.   The project area is easily accessed by road, the tarred highway from Mwanza to Burundi via Shinyanga and Kahama, through the southwest of the property.  The large village of Ushirombo lies on the highway within one of the projects licenses.  This serves as the headquarters for theBukombe District with the offices of the District Commissioner and the District Courthouse.



Geology and Mineralization



The Ushirombo property occurs in the same structural setting as the Tulawaka Gold Mine which is located 30 kilometres to the northwest. Ushirombo and Tulawaka share many similar geological characteristics including quartz rubble zones that frequently carry significant gold values. Recent work, including exploration drilling, has shown that some of the greenstone belts are more extensive than previously realized including those on the Companys holdings.



Exploration



In January 2009, the Company prepared a new geological interpretation of the Ushirombo property, integrating airborne magnetic/radiometric data, mapping data and rotary drilling (RAB) results. The Company subsequently identified the Ushirombo Gold Corridor (UGC), a 12 kilometre long by six kilometre wide northwest-trending zone, as a prime target area. The UGC contains the areas of historic and current artisanal gold mining and is traversed by the principal regional structures that appear to be associated with the gold mineralization.



In the coming months, the Company will focus on confirming significant drill intersections completed in earlier programs, ascertaining the existence at depth of gold-in-quartz mineralization sampled on surface, and extending the gold mineralization in the principal artisanal workings.



For additional information regarding the Ushirombo Property the reader is referred to the complete text of a technical report prepared in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101 dated August 31, 2009, entitled, Report on the Ushirombo Mineral Exploration Property of Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation in the Bukombe District, Shinyanga Region of the United Republic of Tanzania, East Africa by Martin J. Taylor, P.Geo.  The Preliminary Ushirombo Report is available online at www.sedar.com, filed on September 23, 2009 under the heading, Technical Report (NI 43-101).



The Company has deferred total net costs of $246,303 on the Ushirombo Property to August 31, 2010.

Kibara Project Area



Property Description, Location, Access, and Infrastructure



The Kibara Project covers a contiguous area of approximately 122 square kilometres on the eastern shore of Lake Victoria in northern Tanzania.  The area typically has two rainy seasons, the small rains from mid-November through December and the big rains from mid-March into May, though significant rain often falls in January and February.  The months of June through October are usually dry, with occasional thunderstorms.  Access along the dirt tracks within the PLs may be impaired directly after heavy rainfall, though exploration activities should not be seriously affected during a normal rainy season unless access is required across areas of mbuga soils.



The property is centred approximately 50 kilometres west of the district headquarters in Bunda.  Principal access is north to Bunda from Mwanza on the paved highway that continues to Nairobi and Kenya.  From Bunda a graded gravel road extends west to Nansio on Ukerewe Island in Lake Victoria, passing through the southern edge of the Kibara property.  The large village of Kibara is located on the Bunda-Nansio road just south of the centre of the property.  Small villages, hamlets and farms are scattered throughout the property.  Fishing on Lake Victoria is the principal activity of the communities along the lake shore.



Geology and Mineralization



The regional geological mapping published by Barth in 1990 shows the western half of the property to be largely underlain by volcanic rocks and the eastern half underlain by granites.  In February 2009 the Company prepared a new geological interpretation map from the geochemical, regolith, outcrop and satellite image data.  Unfortunately, the area falls outside the coverage of the government airborne magnetic survey.  This mapping confirmed the dominantly granitic eastern half of the area with a raft of mafic volcanic and a western half dominated by various greenstone lithologies and minor intrusives.



Exploration



The Company commenced exploration on the Kibara project in August 2002with mini-BLEG sampling.  This was followed by rock and termite mount sampling to validate BLEG anomalies and then by trenching, biogeochemical (BGC) sampling and gradient IP surveys.  None of the geochemical or other targets have yet been testing with any form of drilling.



The next phases of work at the Kibara Project could focus on initial RAB and/or RC drilling on the principal targets at Nyakona Hill and other artisanal workings with the object to confirm the existence at depth of gold/copper-in-quartz mineralization sampled in the trenches at Nyakona Hill and to extend the gold mineralization in the artisanal workings.



For additional information regarding the Kibara Property the reader is referred to the complete text of a technical report prepared in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101 dated October 31, 2009, entitled, Report on the Kibara Mineral Exploration Property of Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation in the Bunda District, Mara Region of the United Republic of Tanzania, East Africa by Martin J. Taylor, P.Geo.  The Preliminary Kibara Report is available online at www.sedar.com, filed on November 16, 2009 under the heading, Technical Report (NI 43-101).



The Company has deferred total net costs of $78,015 on the Kibara Property to August 31, 2010.

Kabanga/Kagera Nickel Property



Property Description and Location



The Kabanga/Kagera Nickel Property prospecting licenses acquired by the Company cover an area of approximately 4,070 square kilometres within the Kagera Fold Belt of northwestern Tanzania.  Management recognized that base metal prices - especially nickel - were destined to move substantially higher, based on demand from China, which has been industrializing at a pace that is arguably without historical precedent.  With this positive demand outlook as an economic driver, the Company applied for open ground within the Kabanga Nickel Belt that was considered to be favorable for hosting magnetic anomalies or differences in the earths magnetic field. These magnetic anomalies are often associated with economic mineral deposits, one of which has been discovered in the belt to date.  On February 25, 2009, the Company entered into an option and royalty agreement with Songshan, granting Songshan an option to acquire the Companys interest in its Kabanga nickel licenses located in northwestern Tanzania, subject to a 3% net smelter royalty reserved in favor of the Company.  In January 2010, Jinchuan Mining concluded an agreement with Songshan to participate in the exploration and development of the Kabanga nickel properties.  Jinchuan Mining has agreed to act as operator and hold complete financial responsibility for all exploration activities on the nickel exploration licences.





Geology and Mineralization



The Kabanga Nickel Belt hosts the Kabanga nickel deposit (Barrick Gold/Xstrata plc), which is presently in the feasibility stage and was discovered by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) during the 1970s.  The actual discovery was made following a comprehensive geochemical and geophysical program that identified a chain of coincident airborne magnetic and geochemical anomalies within a 20-30 kilometres wide northeasterly trending belt that extends for over 200 kilometres.



Exploration



One of the prospecting licenses is located within a zone of two parallel magnetic highs that extends down to the Kabanga Nickel deposit, while another license hosts a 50 kilometres long magnetic anomaly whose geophysical signature is of similar intensity to the Kabanga nickel deposit.  Moderate nickel-in-soil anomalies are evident on some of the licenses as well.



The Company has deferred total net costs of $75,317 on the Kabanga Nickel properties to August 31, 2010.  Any future exploration work will be at the cost of Jinchuan Mining and Songshan.



THE KABANGA/KAGERA NICKEL PROPERTY IS WITHOUT KNOWN MINERAL RESERVES AND ANY EXPLORATION PROGRAM IS AN EXPLORATORY SEARCH FOR ORE.





The Company has deferred total net costs of $29,956,026 on all properties in the aggregate to August 31, 2010.



Biogeochemistry



The Companys expertise in biogeochemistry (BGC) remained an integral component in its first pass evaluation of favorable geological environments in the Lake Victoria Greenstone belt.  A key
component in the Companys optimization of its exploration process is the deployment of BGC techniques in its field programs.  One of the major problems confronting mineral explorers in the Lake Victoria Greenstone Belt - and for that matter in most other greenstone belts in the world - is the presence of deep overburden, which frequently masks the existence of favorable host rocks for gold, diamonds and other mineral commodities.







---









Biogeochemical protocols have been developed relating to the selection and analysis of sample materials and specially-trained crews have been put into the field to gather samples for analysis. In addition, a biogeochemistry laboratory has been established in Mwanza for the preparation of sample materials which are then sent to independent laboratories.
