This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of the reporting, that economic extraction can be justified.  A mineral reserve includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined.  Mineral resources are sub-divided in order of increasing confidence into “probable” and “proven” mineral reserves.  A probable mineral reserve has a lower level of confidence than a proven mineral reserve.  The term “mineral reserve” does not necessarily signify that extraction facilities are in place or operative or that all governmental approvals have been received.  It does signify that there are reasonable expectations of such approvals. |

A resource estimate does not require specific mining, metallurgical, environmental, price and cost data, but the nature and continuity or mineralization must be understood.  Mineral resources are sub-divided in order of increasing geological confidence into “inferred”, “indicated”, and “measured” categories.  An inferred mineral resource has a lower level of confidence than that applied to an indicated mineral resource.  An indicated mineral resource has a higher level of confidence than an inferred mineral resource, but has a lower level of confidence than a measured mineral resource.  A mineral resource is a concentration or occurrence of natural, solid, inorganic or fossilized organic material in or on the Earth's crust in such form and quantity and of such grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction.     |

Risk FactorsIn addition to other information presented in this Annual Report, the following should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its business.  This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties.  The Company’s actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report.  The management of the Company has identified the following risk factors, listed in the view of management in order from most significant to least significant:We have incurred net losses since our inception and expect losses to continue.  We have not been profitable since our inception.  For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010, we had a net loss of $3,427,655 and an accumulated deficit on August 31, 2010 of $43,884,125.  The Company has never generated revenues and does not expect to generate revenues from operations until one or more of its properties are placed in production. There is a risk that none of the Company’s properties will be placed in production, and that the Company’s operations will not be profitable in the future.   7   Our exploration activities are highly speculative and involve substantial risks.  All of the Company’s properties are in the exploration stage and no proven mineral reserves have been established.  The Company’s exploration work may not result in the discovery of mineable deposits of ore in a commercially economical manner.  There may be limited availability of water, which is essential to milling operations, and interruptions may be caused by adverse weather conditions.  The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of existing laws and regulations relating to exploration and development, permitting procedures, safety precautions, property reclamation, employee health and safety, air quality standards, pollution and other environmental protection controls.  The Company’s exploration activities are subject to substantial hazards, some of which are not insurable or may not be insured for economic reasons.We cannot accurately predict whether commercial quantities of ores will be established.  Whether an ore body will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors beyond the control of the Company, including the particular attributes of the deposit such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, as well as mineral prices and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection.  We cannot accurately predict the exact effect of these factors, but the combination of these factors may result in a mineral deposit being unprofitable.  The Company has no mineral producing properties at this time.  The Company has not defined or delineated any proven or probable reserves or resources on any of its properties.  Although the mineralized material estimates included herein have been carefully prepared by the Company, or, in some instances have been prepared, reviewed or verified by independent mining experts, these amounts are estimates only and there is a risk that a particular level of recovery of gold or other minerals from mineralized material will not in fact be realized or that an identified mineralized deposit, if any, will ever qualify as a commercially mineable or viable reserve.We may not be able to establish the presence of minerals on a commercially viable basis.  Our ability to generate revenues and profits is expected to occur through exploration of our existing properties as well as through acquisitions of interests in new properties.  We will need to incur substantial expenditures in an attempt to establish the economic feasibility of mining operations by identifying mineral deposits and establishing ore reserves through drilling and other techniques, developing metallurgical processes to extract metals from ore, designing facilities and planning mining operations.  The economic feasibility of a project depends on numerous factors beyond our control, including the cost of mining and production facilities required to extract the desired minerals, the total mineral deposits that can be mined using a given facility, the proximity of the mineral deposits to a user of the minerals, and the market price of the minerals at the time of sale.  Our existing or future exploration programs or acquisitions may not result in the identification of deposits that can be mined profitably.Our competition is intense in all phases of our business.  The Company competes with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself for the acquisition of mineral interests, as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.Our exploration activities are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations. Laws and regulation govern the development, mining, production, importing and exporting of minerals; taxes; labor standards; occupational health; waste disposal; protection of the environment; mine safety; toxic substances; and other matters.  We require licenses and permits to conduct exploration and mining operations.  Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining companies or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company.  Applicable laws and regulations will require the Company to make certain capital and operating expenditures to initiate new operations.  Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to close an operation once it is started until a particular problem is remedied or to undertake other remedial actions.   8   We have uninsurable risks.  We may be subject to unforeseen hazards such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions.  The Company may become subject to liability for pollution, cave-ins or hazards against which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure.  The payment of such liabilities may have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.We depend on key management personnel.  The success of the operations and activities of the Company is dependent to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of its management including James E. Sinclair, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Regina Kuo-Lee, Chief Financial Officer.  Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on their discretion and judgment.  We do not have employment contracts with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer.  We maintain key-man life insurance on the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer but not on the Chief Financial Officer or President of the Company.We depend on consultants and engineers for our exploration programs.  The Company has relied on and may continue to rely upon consultants for exploration development, construction and operating expertise.  Substantial expenditures are required to construct mines, to establish ore reserves through drilling, to carry out environmental and social impact assessments, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the exploration infrastructure at any suite chosen for exploration.  We may not be able to discover minerals in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operation, and we may not be able to obtain funds required for exploration on a timely basis.We are subject to the volatility of metal and mineral prices.  The economics of developing metal and mineral properties are affected by many factors beyond our control including, without limitation, the cost of operations, variations in the grade ore or resource mined, and the price of such resources.  The market prices of the metals for which we are exploring are highly speculative and volatile.  Depending on the price of gold or other resources, the Company may determine that it is impractical to commence or continue commercial production.  The price of gold has fluctuated widely in recent years.  The price of gold and other metals and minerals may not remain stable, and such prices may not be at levels that will make it feasible to continue the Company’s exploration activities, or commence or continue commercial production.Our business activities are conducted in Tanzania. Our mineral exploration activities in Tanzania may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and government regulations relating to the mining industry and foreign investment in that country.  The government of Tanzania may institute regulatory policies that adversely affect the exploration and development (if any) of the Company’s properties.  Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions in this country are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business.  Investors should assess the political and regulatory risks related to the Company’s foreign country investments.  Our operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, foreign exchange controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety.We may not have clear title to our properties.  Acquisition of title to mineral properties is a very detailed and time-consuming process, and the Company’s title to its properties may be affected by prior unregistered agreements or transfers, or undetected defects.  Several of the Company’s prospecting licenses are currently subject to renewal by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals of Tanzania.  In result, there is a risk that we may not have clear title to all our mineral property interests, or they may be subject to challenge or impugned in the future.   9   We have requirements for and there is an uncertainty of access to additional capital.  At August 31, 2010, the Company had cash and marketable securities of $1,366,133 and working capital of $1,113,969.   The Company will continue to incur exploration costs to fund its plan of operations and intends to fund its plan of operations from working capital and equity subscriptions from the Company’s Chairman and C.E.O.  Ultimately, the Company’s ability to continue its exploration activities depends in part on the Company’s ability to commence operations and generate revenues or to obtain financing through joint ventures, debt financing, equity financing, production sharing agreements or some combination of these or other means.We have no cash flow from operations and depend on equity financing for our operations. The Company’s current operations do not generate any cash flow.  Any work on the Company’s properties may require additional equity financing.  If the Company seeks funding from existing or new joint venture partners, its project interests will be diluted.  If the Company seeks additional equity financing, the issuance of additional shares will dilute the current interests of the Company’s current shareholders.  We may not be able to obtain additional funding to allow the Company to fulfill its obligations on existing exploration properties.  Our failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and the possible partial or total loss of the Company’s potential interest in certain properties or dilution of the Company’s interest in certain properties.Conflicts of interest may arise among our board of directors.  Marek J. Kreczmer,   Anton Esterhuizen and Norman Betts, directors of the Company, are also directors, officers, or shareholders of other companies that are similarly engaged in the business of acquiring, developing, and exploiting natural resource properties.  Mr. Kreczmer is CEO, Chairman and a director of Hana Mining Ltd., a Canadian company exploring for minerals in Botswana. (Mr. Kreczmer resigned effective November 9, 2010).  Mr. Esterhuizen is the Managing Director of Pangea Exploration (Pty.) Ltd., a South African company exploring for minerals in Africa and South America.  He is also a Director of NWT Uranium Corp.   Dr. Betts serves as Chair of the Board of Directors of Starfield Resources Inc. and as a director and member of the Audit Committee of Adex Mining Inc. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time if the Company were to enter into negotiations to acquire an interest in a mineral project in which their other companies hold an interest, or the Company were to enter into negotiations to sell or joint venture an interest in its mineral properties to any of these companies.  The directors of the Company are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and disclose any interest which they may have in any project or opportunity of the Company.  If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the board of directors, any director in a conflict will disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matter.Penny stock rules may make it more difficult to trade the Company’s common shares.  The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price, as defined, less than US$5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than US$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  Our securities may be covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors such as, institutions with assets in excess of US$5,000,000 or an individual with net worth in excess of US$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding US$200,000 or US$300,000 jointly with his or her spouse. For transactions covered by this rule, the broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and receive the purchaser’s written agreement of the transaction prior to the sale.  Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also affect the ability of our investors to sell their shares in the secondary market.Failure to Maintain Effective Internal Controls Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Operations.  We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and a report by our independent auditors addressing these assessments. During the course of our testing we may identify material weaknesses which we may not be able to remediate for our annual compliance with the requirements of Section 404.  If we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly.   10   Item 4.  Information on the CompanyA.           History and Development of the CompanyThe 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.   11   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 DispositionsThe 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.   12   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 OverviewThe 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.   13   Plan of OperationsExploration ActivitiesAll 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.   14   ExplorationThe 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.CompetitionThe 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 SuppliersThe Company is not dependent upon a single or few customers or supplier for revenues or its operations.Governmental RegulationsThe 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.   15   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.C.

Property, Plant and EquipmentThe Company’s business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties, with a primary focus on exploring for gold properties in Tanzania.  The Company funds its activities by way of the sale and issuance of its securities to accredited investors.  The Company also obtains operating funds through sales of and options to sell its various mineral property interests to other parties, retaining a royalty interest.  The Company’s properties are without a known body of commercial ore, with no established mineral reserves, and the Company’s activities to date on such properties have been exploratory in nature.  16    17  Kigosi ProjectProperty Description and LocationThe 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 PhysiographyThe 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.   18   Geology and MineralizationThe 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 ProspectGold 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 DepositDuring 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.   19   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 ProspectThe 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 HistoryFrom 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.   20   Msonga ProspectDrillingPrevious 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.For additional information regarding the Kigosi Property the reader is referred to the complete text of the Preliminary Kigosi Report, which is available online at www.sedar.com, filed on May 6, 2009 under the heading, “Technical Report (NI 43-101)”.The Company has incurred total net costs (after any recoveries) of $11,524,827 on the Kigosi Project to August 31, 2010, of which $2,253,320 was incurred during the most recently completed fiscal year.THE KIGOSI PROJECT IS WITHOUT KNOWN MINERAL RESERVES AND ANY EXPLORATION PROGRAM IS AN EXPLORATORY SEARCH FOR ORE.Itetemia PropertyProperty Description and LocationThe Itetemia Property consists of contiguous prospecting licenses covering approximately 50 km2.  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).   21   Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and PhysiographyThe 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.OwnershipPrior OwnershipWith 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 InterestThrough 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.   22     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.HistoryThe exploration history of the Itetemia Property from 2006 to 2010 is summarized as follows:Itetemia Exploration History SynopsisYearOperatorWork Performed2006TancanIn-house evaluation. 4-hole diamond drill program2007Sloane Developments Ltd.Planned 2000 m RC drill program and 3000 m infill diamond drilling program.2008Sloane Developments Ltd.First phase drill program consisted of 10 Reverse Circulation (RC) aggregating 1,489 metres.  Eight diamond drill holes were drilled totalling 2,286.5 metres.2009Sloane Developments Ltd.Data analysis2010Sloane Developments Ltd.Data analysis  23   GeologyThe 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.MineralizationThe 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.ExplorationSince 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.   24           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 PropertyProperty Description and LocationThe 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 PhysiographyAccess 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.   25   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.HistoryLuhala 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 SYNOPSISYearOperatorWork Performed2006TancanDiamond drilling, RC drilling2007Sloane Developments Ltd.Follow-up exploration planning2008Sloane Developments Ltd.Data analysis2009Sloane Developments Ltd.Data analysis2010Sloane Developments Ltd.Data analysisGeologyLuhala 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.   26   ExplorationDuring 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.MineralizationAt 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.Historical DrillingThe Phase 7 drill program at Luhala was completed in August 2006 and consisted of nine diamond drill holes aggregating 991 metres.  All the holes tested the eastern limb of the Kisunge Main Zone. Among the better intercepts reported from this program was 3.07 metres grading 6.87 g/t. Within this intercept was a 1.44 metres interval averaging 10.95 g/t. Invaluable structural information was obtained from the Phase 7 diamond drilling program which will be utilized in the planning process for follow-up exploration.For additional information regarding both the Luhala and Lunguya Properties (see below) please refer to a technical report prepared in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101 dated February 28, 2003, revised June 2007, entitled, “Report on the 2002 Exploration of the Luhala Concessions and the Lunguya Concessions, Lake Victoria Goldfields District, North-Central Tanzania” by Dr. Jim L. Oliver, Ph.D., P. Geo. (the “Revised Luhala and Lunguya 2002 Report”).  The reader is referred to the complete text of the Revised Luhala and Lunguya 2002 Report, which is available at www.sedar.com, filed on August 13, 2007 under the heading, “Other”.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 AreaProperty Description and LocationThe 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.   27   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 PhysiographyThe 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.HistoryThe 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.GeologyThe 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.   28   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.MineralizationLunguya 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.  Significant assays obtained during the 2002 diamond drill program at Lunguya are summarized in Table 2 of the Revised Luhala and Lunguya 2002 Report.  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.DrillingTwo 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.  A series of geological cross-sections and plans (Figures 10 to Figure 18 in the Revised Luhala and Lunguya 2002 Report), summarize the results of these programs.  Both RC and diamond drill data are combined on these sections.  Drill collar locations for 12 diamond holes and 7 RC holes on the Nyamakwenge Reefs are shown on Figure 9 of the Revised Luhala and Lunguya 2002 Report.  Drill logs for diamond drill holes are compiled on Appendix III and for RC holes in Appendix IV of the Revised Luhala and Lunguya 2002 Report.  Assay results for diamond drill holes are compiled in Appendix V and RC assay data in Appendix VI of the Revised Luhala and Lunguya 2002 Report.ExplorationLimited 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.   29   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 AreaProperty Description and LocationThe 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 MineralizationThe 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).ExplorationSome 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.   30   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, which is located about 17 kilometres northwest of the Tulawaka Gold Mine process plant.The Company has deferred total net costs (after any recoveries and write offs) of $848,439 on the Biharamulo/Tulawaka Properties to August 31, 2010.THE BIHARAMULO/TULAWAKA PROPERTIES ARE WITHOUT KNOWN MINERAL RESERVES AND ANY EXPLORATION PROGRAM IS AN EXPLORATORY SEARCH FOR ORE.Ushirombo Project AreaProperty Description, Location, Access, and InfrastructureThe 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 the Bukombe District with the offices of the District Commissioner and the District Courthouse.Geology and MineralizationThe 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.   31   ExplorationIn 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.THE USHIROMBO PROPERTY IS WITHOUT KNOWN MINERAL RESERVES AND ANY EXPLORATION PROGRAM IS AN EXPLORATORY SEARCH FOR ORE.Kibara Project Area Property Description, Location, Access, and InfrastructureThe 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 MineralizationThe 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.   32   ExplorationThe Company commenced exploration on the Kibara project in August 2002 with 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.THE KIBARA PROPERTY IS WITHOUT KNOWN MINERAL RESERVES AND ANY EXPLORATION PROGRAM IS AN EXPLORATORY SEARCH FOR ORE.Kabanga/Kagera Nickel PropertyProperty Description and LocationThe 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 MineralizationThe 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.   33   ExplorationOne 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.BiogeochemistryThe 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.Item 4A. Unresolved Staff CommentsNot ApplicableItem 5.  Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsThis discussion and analysis of the operating results and the financial position of the Company for the years ended August 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes attached hereto.Critical Accounting PoliciesThe Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain mineral deposits that are economically recoverable.  The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties and related deferred costs are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties, obtaining necessary financing to explore and develop the properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the mineral properties.In accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, acquisition costs and exploration and development costs relating to mineral properties are deferred until the properties are brought into production, at which time they are amortized on a unit-of-production basis, or until the properties are abandoned or sold or management determines that the mineral property is not economically viable, at which time the deferred costs are written off.  Option payments on mineral properties are exercisable at the discretion of the Company and, accordingly, are only recognized as paid.   34   Amounts recovered from third parties to earn an interest in the Company’s mineral properties are applied as a reduction of the deferred exploration costs.  The amounts shown as deferred expenditures and property acquisition costs represent net costs to date, less amounts amortized and/or written off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.Overhead costs directly related to exploration are allocated to the mineral properties explored during the year and are deferred and amortized using the same method applied to property-specific exploration costs.  All other overhead and administration costs are expensed in the year they are incurred.For the purposes of United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”), the Company expenses all exploration expenditures made prior to commercially mineable deposits being identified.  Property acquisition costs are capitalized as incurred and are subject to impairment analysis on occurrence of a triggering event.   See Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.The Consolidated Financial Statements utilize estimates and assumptions principally regarding mineral properties, going concern, future income taxes, fair value of convertible debt and stock-based compensation, that reflect management’s expectations at the date of preparation.  Events or circumstances in the future, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, may impact these expectations and accordingly could lead to different assumptions and estimates from those utilized.  Factors that could impact the estimates and assumptions that were made at the date of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements have been previously discussed under the heading “Risk Factors”.A.           Operating ResultsThe following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and operating results of the Company for the years ended August 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes to the financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP.  The discussion and analysis set forth below covers the results measured under Canadian GAAP.  Material differences between the application of Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP to the Company’s audited financial statements exist as described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.OverviewAs of August 31, 2010, the Company had current assets of $1,735,000 as compared to $1,627,000 on August 31, 2009.  The increase in current assets is mainly attributed to an increase in the cash balance and short term investments.  Mineral properties and deferred exploration costs amounted to $29,956,000 as of August 31, 2010, an increase of $3,006,000 as compared to $26,950,000 at August 31, 2009.  The current year’s net expenditures on mineral property exploration is $3,016,000 (2009 - $3,798,000) net of a recovery of $348,000 of exploration costs from its option partners in 2010 (2009 - $416,000.  The Company has also recorded a write-down in 2010 of $10,000 (2009 - $1,207,000) on mineral properties abandoned.  35  Results of operationsFiscal year ended August 31, 2010 compared to fiscal year ended August 31, 2009The loss before income tax in 2010 was $3,428,000 a $1,304,000 decrease from last year’s loss before income taxes of $4,732,000. The decrease in loss before income taxes in 2010 was due to a significant decrease in write off of mineral properties and deferred exploration costs ($1,197,000).During the year, the Company has made significant purchases in capital equipment to further its bulk sampling operation, therefore there is an increase in amortization of $101,000 from $ 101,000 in 2009 to $ 202,000 in 2010.  Due to the increase in capital equipment purchases, office administration expenses including freight forwarding and handling of purchases also increased from $91,000 in 2009 to $132,000 in 2010.Property investigation costs were $45,000 for the year ended August 31, 2010 as compared to $23,000 for 2009.  The increase of $22,000 was a result of the Company’s review of new licenses  becoming available.Transfer agent and listing fees decreased from $228,000 in 2009 to $201,000 in 2010 due to  fewer private placements during 2010.  Professional fees have also decreased by $134,000 from $481,000 in 2009 to $347,000 in 2010.  Legal expenses decreased due to fewer contract negotiations.During the year, the Company sold 20,000 of 125,000 shares held in short term investments for proceeds of $8,400 and recognized a loss of $3,400.   As at August 31, 2010, the remaining 105,000 shares had a fair value of $40,425.  The Company recorded a loss of $24,525 during the period.Salaries and benefit expense decreased by $348,000 in 2010 to $1,025,000 from $1,374,000 in 2009.  During the year, the Company’s exploration manager position, vacated in September 2009, was not replaced until January 2010.   In addition, the drill manager position, vacated in November 2009, was not immediately replaced and certain consultants were hired as employees during the last quarter, thus incurring savings of full time salaries and benefit expense for part of the year.  Further, there was an accrual of $132,000 for severance pay in 2009 that was not applicable in 2010.In 2010, stock based compensation increased by $221,000, due to previously granted Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) to certain employees whose RSUs vested early due to fulfillment of performance goals.   Directors’ fees decreased by $65,000 from $447,000 in 2009 to $382,000 in 2010 because most directors elected to receive payment in the form of RSUs instead of cash.  The full value of the RSUs will come into effect in the next fiscal year.For the years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not record any income tax expense or recovery.Fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 compared to fiscal year ended August 31, 2008The loss before income tax in 2009 was $4,732,000 a $1,034,000 increase from last year’s loss before income taxes of $3,698,000. The increase in loss before income taxes in 2009 was due mainly to an increase of write off of mineral properties and deferred exploration costs of $535,000 and an increase in salaries and benefits of $372,000.During the year, the Company did not enter into any Service Agreements therefore no consulting income was earned (2008 - $88,000).  The foreign exchange loss has decreased by $63,000 from $74,000 for the year ended August 31, 2008 to $11,000 for the year ended August 31, 2009 due to the strength of the Canadian dollar throughout the year.  As there was a decrease in cash and cash equivalents throughout the year less interest income was earned, resulting in a net interest charge of $15,000 in 2009 compared to net interest income of $15,000 in 2008, which is a decrease of $30,000.  During 2009, three members of the Company’s Technical Committee received a monthly retainer.  This increased consulting and management fees to $277,000 from $230,000 in 2008.   36   Property investigation costs were $23,000 for the year ended August 31, 2009 as compared to $83,000 for 2008.  The decrease of $60,000 was a result of the Company concentrating on operations in areas where the Company has determined that it will continue exploration.  Transfer agent and listing fees increased from $203,000 in 2008 to $228,000 in 2009 due to an increase in the number of private placements during 2009.  Professional fees have increased by $87,000 from $395,000 in 2008 to $481,000 in 2009 due to additional legal expense from contract negotiations.Salaries and benefit expense increased by $371,000 in 2009 to $1,374,000 from $1,003,000 in 2008.  The increase was to the full year effect of Tanzania having imposed minimum taxes in January 2008 and an accrual for severance pay of $132,000.  The effect had only a partial affect on salaries in 2008.  Travel and accommodation expenses were $88,000 for the year as compared to $47,000 in 2008.  The increase of $41,000 was due costs associated with trade shows and contract negotiations in China.In 2009, stock based compensation decreased by $57,000, due to previously granted Restricted Stock Units having been forfeited.  The expenses incurred in previous years have been reversed in current year expenditure.For the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not record any income tax expense or recovery.InflationHistorically, inflation has not affected the Company’s business in the current locations where it is doing business and the Company does not expect it to affect the Company’s operations in the future.Foreign ExchangeThe Company’s financial assets and liabilities consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debt and obligations under the capital lease, of which a portion are held in different currencies.  The Company does not engage in any hedging activities relating to these foreign denominated assets and liabilities.B.           Liquidity and Capital ResourcesThe Company had $1,366,000 in cash and marketable securities at August 31, 2010, compared to $1,166,000 as of August 31, 2009.  The Company had working capital of $1,114,000 at August 31, 2010, compared to $943,000 at August 31, 2009.  Although the Company believes it has enough resources through working capital and share subscription agreements to finance operations for its 2011 fiscal year, ultimately the Company will need to obtain additional financing to sustain operations at the present rate of activity.  Subsequent to August 31, 2010 the Company has completed private placements in excess of $12.7 million.  The current cash position is expected to sustain operations for its 2011 fiscal year. Historically, the Company has raised funds through equity financing, 3 year convertible promissory notes and entering into joint venture or royalty agreements with other mining companies.  The Company’s funding requirements by major expenditure category, listed in order of priority are:  (a)exploration work,  (b)new property investigations, and  (c)general and administrative costs.   37   Exploration work and new property investigations can generally be deferred until adequate capital resources are available, and general and administrative costs can be reduced during periods when funding is not available.At this time, the Company has no operating revenues, and does not anticipate any operating revenues unless the Company is able to find, acquire, place in production and operate a profitable mining property. Because the Company does not currently derive any production revenue from operations, its ability to conduct exploration and development work on its properties is largely based upon its ability to raise capital by equity funding.  The Company has financed its operations and investments through the issuance of common shares.  During 2010, the Company raised $5,476,000 (2009 - $5,990,000) through the issuance of share capital and share subscriptions and 3 year convertible promissory notes.  As described in further detail below, throughout the year, the Company issued 1,462,584 shares in private placements with the Chairman and CEO of the Company and others in consideration for cash received of $3,985,000.

Executive CompensationCompensation Discussion and AnalysisThe adequacy and form of director and officer compensation is reviewed on an annual basis by the Board of Directors.  The Audit and Compensation Committee recommends to the Board any adjustments to the compensation payable to directors, officers, and senior staff.  The Audit and Compensation Committee is comprised of three directors: Norman Betts (Chair), William Harvey and Ulrich Rath, all of whom are independent for the purposes of National Instrument 58-101 – Corporate Governance.  The Audit and Compensation Committee meet to discuss salary matters as required.  Its recommendations are reached primarily by comparison of the remuneration paid by the Company with publicly available information on remuneration paid by other reporting issuers that the Audit and Compensation Committee feels are similarly placed within the same stage of business development as the Company.  No consultant or advisor has been retained by the Company to assist in determining compensation. In assessing the compensation of its executive officers, the Company does not have in place any formal objectives, criteria or analysis; instead, it relies mainly on the recommendations of the Audit and Compensation Committee and Board discussion.  The Company’s executive compensation program has three principal components: base salary, incentive bonus plan, and equity compensation plans. Base salaries for all employees of the Company will be established for each position through comparative salary surveys of similar type and size companies.  Both individual and corporate performances will be taken into account. Incentive bonuses, in the form of cash payments, based on merit, are designed to add a variable component of compensation, taking into account corporate and individual performances for executive officers and employees.  No bonuses have been paid to executive officers and employees, and none are contemplated. Equity compensation plans are designed to provide an incentive to the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company to achieve the longer-term objectives of the Company; to give suitable recognition to the ability and industry of such persons who contribute materially to the success of the Company; and to attract and retain persons of experience and ability, by providing them with the opportunity to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Company.  The Company awards equity based compensation to its executive officers and employees, based upon the Board’s review of the recommendations of the Audit and Compensation Committee.  Previous awards of such equity compensation are taken into account when considering new grants.  The Company does not presently have an incentive stock option plan and none is contemplated. Implementation of a new incentive equity based compensation plans and amendments to the existing plans are the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors.  The Company’s equity compensation plans are discussed in more detail below, under the sub-headings, “Restricted Stock Unit Plan” and “Employee Share Ownership Plan”. The Company has no other forms of compensation, although payments may be made from time to time to individuals or companies they control for the provision of consulting services.  Such consulting services are paid for by the Company at competitive industry rates for work of a similar nature by reputable arm’s length services providers.   46    We are required, under applicable securities legislation in Canada to disclose to our shareholders details of compensation paid to our named executive officers.For purposes of this Form 20-F, “named executive officer” of the Company as defined in Form 51-102F6 – Statement of Executive Compensation, prescribed by NI 51-102 “Continuous Disclosure Obligations”, means an individual who, at any time during the year, was: (a)  the Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”); (b)  the Company’s chief financial officer (“CFO”); (c)  each of the Company’s three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year and whose total compensation will be, individually, more than $150,000 for that financial year; and (d)  each individual who would be a named executive officer under paragraph (c) but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Company, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of the most recently completed financial year.

To this end, the RSU Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”).  Each RSU represents an entitlement to one common share of the Company, upon vesting.  As of April 11, 2006, the Board resolved to suspend 2,000,000 of the 2,500,000 common shares previously authorized for issuance under the RSU Plan, such that a maximum of 500,000 shares shall be authorized for issuance under the RSU Plan, until such suspension may be lifted or further amended.  Any of these awards of RSUs may, but need not, be made as performance incentives to reward attainment of annual or long-term performance goals in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan.  Any such performance goals are specified in the Award Agreement.  The Board of Directors implemented the RSU Plan under which employees and outside directors are compensated for their services to the Company.  Annual compensation for outside directors is $68,750 per year, plus $6,875 per year for serving on Committees, plus $3,437.50 per year for serving as Chair of a Committee.  At the election of each individual director, up to one-third of the annual compensation may be received in cash, paid quarterly.  The remainder of the director’s annual compensation (at least two-thirds, and up to 100%) will be awarded as RSUs, in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan, and shall vest within a minimum of one (1) year and a maximum of three (3) years, at the election of the director, subject to the conditions of the RSU Plan with respect to earlier vesting.  In 2010 outside directors had the option to elect to receive 100% of their compensation in RSUs.  If 100% compensation in RSUs elected, the compensation on which the number of RSUs granted in excess of the required 2/3 shall be increased by 20%.   49  Under the RSU Plan, outside directors were granted 96,512 RSUs during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010.RSUs Granted to Directors and Executive Officers During the Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2010:NameDate of GrantNo. of RSUs(1)Cash Compensation ElectionVesting Period(2)Expiration DateNorman BettsJune 2, 201017,981Nil1 yearJune 2, 2011Anton EsterhuizenJune 2, 201017,200Nil1 yearJune 2, 2011William HarveyJune 2, 201017,200Nil1 yearJune 2, 2011Joseph KahamaJune 2, 201019,086N/A3 yearsJune 2, 2013Marek KreczmerJune 2, 201011,295$26,0901 yearJune 2, 2011Regina Kuo-LeeJune 2, 201010,128N/A3 yearsJune 2, 2013Rosalind MorrowJune 2, 201015,636Nil3 yearsJune 2, 2013Ulrich RathJune 2, 201017,200Nil1 yearJune 2, 2011Riaan Van der WesthuizenJune 2, 201010,661N/A3 yearsJune 2, 2013RSUs granted to directors and executiveofficers as a group:                                        136,387  (1) Valued at $4.69per RSU(2)Subject to the conditions of the RSU Plan with respect to earlier vestingAt the election of each outside director, directors’ fees of $75,298 were paid to outside directors during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010.

Any such alteration of shareholder’s rights would also require the regulatory acceptance of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

In general, a director who is, in any way, directly or indirectly interested in an existing or proposed contract or transaction with the Company whereby a duty or interest might be created to conflict with his duty or interest director, shall declare the nature and extent of his interest in such contract or transaction or the conflict or potential conflict with his duty and interest as a director.  Such director shall not vote in respect of any such contract or transaction with the Company in which he is interested and if he shall do so, his vote shall not be counted, but he shall be counted in the quorum present at the meeting at which such vote is taken.  However, notwithstanding the foregoing, directors shall have the right to vote on determining the remuneration of the directors.   65  The directors may from time to time on behalf of the Company:  (a) borrow money in such manner and amount from such sources and upon such terms and conditions as they think fit; (b) issue bonds, debentures and other debt obligations; or (c) mortgage, charge or give other security on the whole or any part of the property and assets of the Company.At least one-quarter of the directors of the Company should be persons ordinarily resident in Canada and all must be at least 18 years of age.

A quorum at an annual general meeting and special meeting shall be two shareholders or one or more proxy holder representing two shareholders, or one shareholder and a proxy holder representing another shareholder.  There is no limitation imposed by the laws of Canada or by the charter or other constituent documents of the Company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote the common shares, other than as provided in the Investment Canada Act, (the “Investment Act”) discussed below under “Item 10. Additional Information, D.

Exchange ControlsCanadaThere is no law, governmental decree or regulation in Canada that restricts the export or import of capital or affects the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to a non-resident holder of common shares other than withholding tax requirements.  Any such remittances to United States residents are subject to withholding tax.  See “Taxation.”There is no limitation imposed by the laws of Canada or by the charter or other constituent documents of the Company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote the common shares, other than as provided in the Investment Act.  The following discussion summarizes the principal features of the Investment Act for a non-resident who proposes to acquire the common shares.The Investment Canada Act generally prohibits implementation of a reviewable investment by an individual, government or agency thereof, corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture (each an “entity”) that is not a “Canadian” as defined in the Investment Canada Act (a “non-Canadian”), unless after review, the Director of Investments appointed by the minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  An investment in the common shares by a non-Canadian other than a “WTO Investor” (as that term is defined by the Investment Canada Act, and which term includes entities which are nationals of or are controlled by nationals of member states of the World Trade Organization) when the Company was not controlled by a WTO Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Canada Act if it was an investment to acquire control of the Company and the value of the assets of the Company, as determined in accordance with the regulations promulgated under the Investment Canada Act, was $5,000,000 or more, or if an order for review was made by the federal cabinet on the grounds that the investment related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity, regardless of the value of the assets of the Company.  An investment in the common shares by a WTO Investor, or by a non-Canadian when the Company was controlled by a WTO Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Canada Act if it was an investment to acquire control of the Company and the value of the assets of the Company, as determined in accordance with the regulations promulgated under the Investment Canada Act was not less than a specified amount, which as specified in 2009 was any amount in excess of $312 million.  A non-Canadian would acquire control of the Company for the purposes of the Investment Canada Act if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the common shares.  The acquisition of one third or more, but less than a majority of the common shares would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of the Company unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, the Company was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of the common shares.   67  Certain transactions relating to the common shares would be exempt from the Investment Canada Act, including:  (a) an acquisition of the common shares by a person in the ordinary course of that person’s business as a trader or dealer in securities; (b) an acquisition of control of the Company in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Canada Act; and (c) an acquisition of control of the Company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of the Company, through the ownership of the common shares, remained unchanged.Foreign Investments and Exchange in TanzaniaThe Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) issues certificates of Approval to Foreign and Local Companies wishing to invest in Tanzania. Possession of Certificate of Approval entitles the investor to the following Tax Incentives under the Income Tax Act.(i)  maximum Corporate Tax Rate of 30% (Residents and Non Residents)(ii)  Withholding Tax on Dividends = 10%(iii)  Withholding Tax on Interest = 10%(iv)  50% write – off of capital expenditure incurred during the year of expenditure of the project.(v)  Carry forward of losses for unlimited period of time.In 1992, the stringent foreign exchange legislation was repealed and the restriction on foreign commercial banks abolished. Any person whether resident or not may establish foreign currency accounts with any of the commercial banks and transfer foreign currency outside Tanzania without restriction.  The Bank of Tanzania regulates commercial banks and approves the establishment of offshore foreign currency accounts by residents.  There are no controls on foreign exchange rates or interest rate on loans and overdrafts.E.           TaxationCanadian Federal Income Tax ConsequencesThe following summarizes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to the holding and disposition of common shares in the capital of the Company by a United States resident, a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, an entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, which has elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an estate whose income is taxable in the U.S. irrespective of source, or a trust subject to primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and control of a U.S. fiduciary, and who holds common shares solely as capital property and who owns (directly and indirectly) no more than 5% of the value of the total outstanding stock of the Company (a “U.S. Holder”).  This summary is based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”), the regulations thereunder, all amendments thereto publicly proposed by the government of Canada, the published administrative practices of Canada Revenue Agency, and on the current provisions of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980, as amended (the “Treaty”).  Except as otherwise expressly provided, this summary does not take into account any provincial, territorial or foreign (including without limitation, any U.S.) tax law or treaty.  It has been assumed that all currently proposed amendments will be enacted substantially as proposed and that there is no other relevant change in any governing law or practice, although no assurance can be given in these respects.   68  Each U.S. Holder is advised to obtain tax and legal advice applicable to such U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances.Every U.S. Holder is liable to pay a Canadian withholding tax on every dividend that is or is deemed to be paid or credited to the U.S. Holder on the U.S. Holder’s common shares.  The statutory rate of withholding tax is 25% of the gross amount of the dividend paid.  The Treaty reduces the statutory rate with respect to dividends paid to a U.S. Holder for the purposes of the Treaty.  Where applicable, the general rate of withholding tax under the Treaty is 15% of the gross amount of the dividend, but if the U.S. Holder is a corporation that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company and beneficially owns the dividend, the rate of withholding tax is 5% for dividends paid or credited after 1996 to such corporate U.S. Holder.  The Company is required to withhold the applicable tax from the dividend payable to the U.S. Holder, and to remit the tax to the Receiver General of Canada for the account of the U. S. Holder.Pursuant to the Tax Act, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to Canadian capital gains tax on any capital gain realized on an actual or deemed disposition of a common share, including a deemed disposition on death, provided that the U.S. Holder did not hold the common share as capital property used in carrying on a business in Canada, and that neither the U. S. Holder nor persons with whom the U.S. Holder did not deal a arms length (alone or together) owned or had the right or an option to acquire 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the Company at any time in the five years immediately preceding the disposition.United States Federal Income Tax ConsequencesThe following is, in the opinion of the Company after consultation with its professional advisors, a discussion of material United States federal income tax consequences, under current law, generally applicable  to a U.S. Holder (as defined above) of common shares of the Company. This discussion does not address all potentially relevant federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax law. In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences. (See “Taxation – Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences” above). Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of common shares of the Company are urged to consult their own tax advisors about the specific federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences to them of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares of the Company, based upon their individual circumstances.The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time and which are subject to differing interpretations. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. There can be no assurance that future changes in applicable law or administrative and judicial interpretations thereof will not adversely affect the tax consequences discussed herein. Since the United States federal income and withholding tax treatment may vary depending upon U.S. Holder’s particular situation, a U.S. Holder may be subject to special rules that may have been excluded in this discussion.  Special rules will apply, for example, if the U.S. Holder is   69   
-an insurance company;
-a tax-exempt organization;
-a financial institution;
-a person subject to the alternative minimum tax;
-a person who is a broker-dealer in securities;
-an S corporation;
-an expatriate subject to Section 877 of the Code;
-an owner of, directly, indirectly or by attribution, 10% or more of the outstanding common shares; or
-an owner holding common shares as part of a hedge, straddle, synthetic security or conversion transaction. In addition, this summary is generally limited to persons holding common shares as "capital assets" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, and whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar.  The discussion below also does not address the effect of any United States state or local tax law or foreign tax law. Passive Foreign Investment Company.The Company believes that it could be a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for United States federal income tax purposes with respect to a U.S. Holder (as defined above).  The Company will be a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder if, for any taxable year in which such U.S. Holder held the Company’s shares, either (i) at least 75% of the gross income of the Company for the taxable year is passive income, or (ii) on average, at least 50% of the Company’s assets are attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.  In each case, the Company must take into account a pro rata share of the income and the assets of any corporation in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the stock by value (the “look-through” rules).  Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than rents and royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business and not derived from a related person), annuities, and gains from assets that produce passive income.  As a publicly traded corporation, the Company would apply the 50% asset test based on the value of the Company’s assets.Because the Company may be a PFIC, unless a U.S. Holder who owns shares in the Company (i) elects (a section 1295 election) to have the Company treated as a “qualified electing fund” (a “QEF”) (described below), or (ii) marks the stock to market (described below), the following rules apply:1.      Distributions made by the Company during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder who owns shares in the Company that are an “excess distribution” (defined generally as the excess of the amount received with respect to the shares in any taxable year over 125% of the average received in the shorter of either the three previous years or such U.S. Holder's holding period before the taxable year) must be allocated ratably to each day of such shareholder’s holding period.  The amount allocated to the current taxable year and to years when the Company was not a PFIC must be included as ordinary income in the shareholder’s gross income for the year of distribution.  The remainder is not included in gross income but the shareholder must pay a deferred tax on that portion.  The deferred tax amount, in general, is the amount of tax that would have been owed if the allocated amount had been included in income in the earlier year, plus interest.  The interest charge is at the rate applicable to deficiencies in income taxes.  For a U.S. Holder that is not a corporation, the interest charge is wholly non-deductible.2.      The entire amount of any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of the shares will be treated as an excess distribution made in the year of sale or other disposition and as a consequence will be treated as ordinary income and, to the extent allocated to years prior to the year of sale or disposition, will be subject to the interest charge described above.   70  A shareholder that makes a section 1295 election will be currently taxable on his or her pro rata share of the Company’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain (at ordinary income and long term capital gains rates, respectively) for each taxable year of the Company, regardless of whether or not distributions were received. The shareholder’s basis in his or her shares will be increased to reflect taxed but undistributed income.  Distributions of income that had previously been taxed will result in a corresponding reduction of basis in the shares and will not be taxed again as a distribution to the shareholder.A shareholder may make a section 1295 election with respect to a PFIC for any taxable year of the shareholder (shareholder’s election year).  A section 1295 election is effective for the shareholder’s election year and all subsequent taxable years of the shareholder.  Procedures exist for both retroactive elections and filing of protective statements.  Once a section 1295 election is made it remains in effect, although not applicable, during those years that the Company is not a PFIC.  Therefore, if the Company re-qualifies as a PFIC, the section 1295 election previously made is still valid and the shareholder is required to satisfy the requirements of that election. Once a shareholder makes a section 1295 election, the shareholder may revoke the election only with the consent of the Commissioner.  Nevertheless, the Commissioner in his discretion may invalidate or terminate a section 1295 election applicable to a shareholder, if the shareholder and the Company fail the annual reporting requirements of the section 1295 election.If a shareholder makes the section 1295 election for the first taxable year of the Company as a PFIC that is included in the shareholder’s holding period of the PFIC shares, the PFIC qualifies as a pedigreed QEF with respect to the shareholder.  If a QEF is an unpedigreed QEF with respect to the shareholder, the shareholder is subject to both the non-QEF and QEF regimes.  Under the proposed regulations, a  PFIC that qualifies as a pedigreed QEF with respect to the shareholder would be taxed currently on his or her share of the PFIC’s earnings and profits, whether distributed or not.  On the other hand, a PFIC that qualifies as an unpedigreed QEF with respect to the shareholder would be taxed currently on his or share of the PFIC’s earnings and profits, whether distributed or not, during the period the PFIC shares qualify as a QEF; and would be taxed under the “excess distribution” and “interest charge” rules during the period the PFIC shares do not qualify as a QEF. Certain elections are available which enable shareholders to convert an unpedigreed QEF into a pedigreed QEF thereby avoiding such dual application.A shareholder making the section 1295 election must make the election on or before the due date, as extended, for filing the shareholder’s income tax return for the first taxable year to which the election will apply. A shareholder must make a section 1295 election by completing a Form 8621, Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund (the “Form”); attaching said Form to its federal income tax return; and reflecting in the Form the information provided in the PFIC Annual Information Statement or if the shareholder calculated the financial information, a statement to that effect.  The PFIC Annual Information Statement must include the shareholder’s pro rata shares of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of the PFIC for the PFIC’s taxable year or information that will enable the shareholder to calculate its pro rata shares.  In addition, the PFIC Annual Information Statement must contain information about distributions to shareholders and a statement that the PFIC will permit the shareholder to inspect and copy its permanent books of account, records, and other documents of the PFIC necessary to determine that the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of the PFIC have been calculated according to federal income tax accounting principles.  A shareholder may also obtain the books, records and other documents of the foreign corporation necessary for the shareholder to determine the correct earnings and profits and net capital gain of the PFIC according to federal income tax principles and calculate the shareholder’s pro rata shares of the PFIC’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain.  In that case, the PFIC must include a statement in its PFIC Annual Information Statement that it has permitted the shareholder to examine the PFIC’s books of account, records, and other documents necessary for the shareholder to calculate the amounts of ordinary earnings and net capital gain.  A shareholder that makes a Section 1295 election with respect to a PFIC held directly or indirectly, for each taxable year to which the Section 1295 election applies, must comply with the foregoing submissions.   71  Because the Company’s stock is “marketable” under section 1296(e), a U.S. Holder may elect to mark the stock to market each year.  In general, a PFIC shareholder who elects under section 1296 to mark the marketable stock of a PFIC includes in ordinary income each year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the PFIC stock as of the close of the taxable year over the shareholder’s adjusted basis in such stock.  A PFIC shareholder is also generally allowed an ordinary deduction for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the PFIC stock over the fair market value as of the close of the taxable year.  Deductions under this rule, however, are allowable only to the extent of any net mark to market gains with respect to the stock included by the PFIC shareholder for prior taxable years.  While the interest charge regime under the PFIC rules generally does not apply to distributions from and dispositions of stock of a PFIC where the U.S. Holder has marked to market, coordination rules for limited application will apply in the case of a U.S. Holder that marks to market PFIC stock later than the beginning of the shareholder's holding period for the PFIC stock, unless the PFIC stock was a QEF with respect to the U.S. Holder.Special rules apply with respect to the calculation of the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC or current income inclusions under a QEF.Distribution on Common Shares of the CompanyIn general, U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to common shares of the Company are required to include in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions, equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distributions on the date of receipt (based on the exchange rate on such date), to the extent that the Company has current or accumulated earnings and profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holder’s federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holder’s federal taxable income. (See  more detailed discussion at “Foreign Tax Credit” below). To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company, they will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital up to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of property. Preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder which is an individual, estate or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder which is a corporation.In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Generally any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss. However, an individual whose realized gain does not exceed $200 will not recognize that gain, provided that there are no expenses associated with the transaction that meet the requirements for deductibility as a trade or business expense (other than travel expenses in connection with a business trip) or as an expense for the production of income.Dividends paid on the common shares of the Company generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations.  A U.S. Holder which is a corporation and which owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting power and value of the Company may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% (or 80% if the U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 20% of the voting power and value of the Company) deduction equal to the United States source portion of dividends received from the Company (unless the Company qualifies as a “passive foreign investment company” (a PFIC) as defined above). The Company does not anticipate that it will earn any U.S. source income, however, and therefore does not anticipate that any U.S. Holder which is a corporation will be eligible for the dividends received deduction.   72  Foreign Tax CreditA U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of common shares of the Company may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either receive a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer’s income subject to tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and generally applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year. There are significant and complex limitations which apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder’s United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holder’s foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income. In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income such as “passive income”, “high withholding tax interest,” “financial services income,” “shipping income,” and certain other classifications of income. Dividends distributed by the Company will generally constitute “passive income” or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, “financial services income” for these purposes. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of  the limitations on the credit are fact specific, and U.S. Holders of common shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.  U.S. Holders should be aware that recently enacted legislation eliminates the “financial services income” category for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006.  Under the recently enacted legislation, the foreign tax credit limitation categories are limited to “passive category income” and “general category income”.Disposition of Common Shares of the CompanyIn general, U.S. Holders will recognize gain or loss upon the sale of common shares of the Company equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholder’s tax basis in the common shares of the Company. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of U.S. Holders which are individuals, estates or trusts. In general, gain or loss on the sale of common shares of the Company will be long-term capital gain or loss if the common shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder and are held for more than one year. Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations. For a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust, capital losses may be used to offset capital gains and up to US$3,000 of ordinary income and any unused portion of net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later taxable years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted. For U.S. Holders that are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.Controlled Foreign Corporations.Sections 951 through 964 and Section 1248 of the Code relate to controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”).  A foreign corporation that qualifies as a CFC will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to a shareholder during the portion of the shareholder’s holding period after December 31, 1997, during which the shareholder owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company (a “10% Shareholder”) and the corporation is a CFC.  A CFC is a foreign corporation where more  than 50% of the corporation’s voting stock or value is owned by U.S. shareholders on any day during the foreign corporation’s taxable year. The PFIC provisions continue to apply in the case of PFIC that is also a CFC with respect to shareholders that are not 10% Shareholders.   73  The 10% Shareholders of a CFC are subject to current U.S. tax on their pro rata shares of certain income of the CFC and their pro rata shares of the CFC’s earnings invested in certain U.S. property.  The effect is that the CFC provisions may impute some portion of such a corporation’s undistributed income to certain shareholders on a current basis and convert into dividend income some portion of gains on dispositions of stock, which would otherwise qualify for capital gains treatment.The Company does not believe that it will be a CFC.  It is possible that the Company could become a CFC in the future.  Even if the Company were classified as a CFC in a future year, however, the CFC rules referred to above would apply only with respect to 10% Shareholders.U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.Payments made within the United States, or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends or proceeds arising from certain sales or other taxable dispositions of the common shares of the Company are generally subject to the information reporting requirements of the Code.  Dividends may be subject to backup withholding at the rate of 28% unless the holder provides a taxpayer identification number on a properly completed Form W-9 or otherwise establishes an exemption.  U.S. Holders that are corporations generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules.The amount of any backup withholding will not constitute additional tax and will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder's federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.Filing of Information Returns.Under a number of circumstances, a U.S. Holder acquiring shares of the Company may be required to file an information return.  In particular, any U.S. Holder who becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the shares of the Company will be required to file such a return.  Other filing requirements may apply, and U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning these requirements.TanzaniaTaxationTax in Tanzania is levied on the income of any person which is deemed to have accrued in or was derived in Tanzania, in the case of individuals, if he was resident in Tanzania during the year of income for periods amounting in aggregate to 183 days or more; or if he was in the United Republic in that year of income and each of the two preceding years of income for periods averaging more than 122 days in each such year of income.

Subsidiary InformationNot Applicable.Item 11.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskThe Company is exposed to market risk, primarily related to foreign exchange and metals prices (gold in particular).  The Company uses the Canadian dollar as its reporting currency, but the Company converts Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars, and then U.S. dollars to Tanzanian schillings.  The Company is therefore exposed to foreign exchange movements in Tanzania where the Company is incurring costs in conducting exploration activities.  Most of the Company’s exploration work is conducted in U.S. dollars; however, some general and administrative expenses are paid in Tanzanian schillings.   76  The following table sets forth the percentage of the Company's administrative expense by currency for the year ended August 31, 2010.By Currency

Further, the Company incurred net exploration costs of $3,059,000 and $3,797,496 for the years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which are primarily paid in U.S. dollars.The Company has not entered into any material foreign exchange contracts to minimize or mitigate the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations on the Company's operations.  Based on prior years, the Company does not believe that it is subject to material foreign exchange fluctuations.  However, no assurance can be given that this will continue to be true in the future.The market prices of most precious metals, including gold, have generally increased over the past three years, but are subject to market fluctuations based primarily on supply and demand.The following table sets out the cumulative average prices of gold for the past five years, based on the London Metals Market afternoon price fix in U.S. dollars:20062007200820092010(Average to August 31)$ 603.46$ 695.39$ 871.96$ 972.35$ 1,165.32Item 12.

Controls and Procedures   77  Disclosure Controls and ProceduresThe Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered in this report, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedure (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and determined that, as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, as of August 31, 2010 our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company  in reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingManagement of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.  The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2010.  In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the period ended August 31, 2010 due to the material weakness described below.The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 5 defines a material weakness as a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  The Company identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2010:●     The Company has limited accounting personnel with expertise in generally accepted accounting principles to enable effective segregation of duties over transaction processes with respect to financial reporting matters and internal control over financial reporting.  This control deficiency resulted in audit adjustments to inventory, foreign exchange gain, convertible debt, contributed surplus and equity which were corrected in the financial statements prior to issuance.In order to mitigate the reasonable possibility, resulting from this material weakness, that a material misstatement of the financial statements would not be prevented or detected in the future, management’s remediation plan includes continuing to obtain expert advice to assist with the accounting for complex matters and continuing to review the assignment of responsibilities to address, where practicable, any segregation of duties concerns.Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting FirmOur independent auditor, KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements included in the report on Form 20-F, has issued an attestation report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Their attestation report appears with the Financial Statements.Changes in Internal Controls over Financial ReportingDuring the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010 there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  There has been no material change in internal control over financial reporting.   78  Item 16 A. Audit Committee Financial ExpertThe Company’s Board has determined that  Dr. Norman Betts qualified as an Audit Committee financial expert.  Dr. Betts is an “independent director”, as defined under NI 52-110 and as defined pursuant to National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) Rule 4200(a)(15) (as such definition may be modified or supplemented).  The SEC has indicated that the designation of an audit committee financial expert does not make that person an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations, or liability on that person that are greater than those imposed on members of the audit committee and board of directors who do not carry this designation, or affect the duties, obligations, or liabilities of any other member of the audit committee.Item 16 B. Code of EthicsWe have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that applies to the Company’s directors, officers, employees and consultants.  In addition, the Company has a Code of Ethical Conduct for Financial Managers that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller and other persons performing similar functions.  A copy of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and Code of Ethical Conduct for Financial Managers can be found on our website at www.TanzanianRoyaltyExploration.com.  The Company will report any amendment or waiver to the Code of Ethics on our website within five (5) business days.Item 16 C.

Section 110 of the NYSE AMEX Company Guide permits NYSE AMEX to consider the laws, customs and practices of foreign issuers in relaxing certain NYSE AMEX listing criteria, and to grant exemptions from NYSE AMEX listing criteria based on these considerations. A company seeking relief under these provisions is required to provide written certification from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by home country law.

The NYSE AMEX minimum quorum requirement for shareholder meeting is 33 1/3% of the outstanding shares of common stock.  In addition, a company listed on Exchange is required to state its quorum requirement in its bylaws.  The Company’s quorum requirement is set forth in its bylaws.  The Company’s bylaws provide that a quorum at any meeting of shareholders shall bepersons present not being less than two in number  and who hold or represent not less than 20 percent of the total number of the issued shares of the Company for the time being enjoy voting rights at the meetingProxy Delivery Requirement. NYSE AMEX requires the solicitation of proxies and delivery of proxy statements for all shareholder meetings, and requires that these proxies be solicited pursuant to a proxy statement that conforms to the proxy rules of the SEC,  The Company is a foreign private issuer as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from the proxy rules set forth in Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c) and 14(f) of such Act.  The Company solicits proxies in accordance with applicable rules and regulations in Canada.Shareholder Approval Requirements.  NYSE AMEX requires a listed company to obtain the approval of its shareholders for certain types of securities issuances, including private placements that may result in the issuance of common shares (or securities convertible into common shares) equal to 20% or more of presently outstanding shares for less than the greater of book or market value of the shares.  In general, there is no such requirement under the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange unless the transaction results in a change of control.  The Company will seek a waiver from NYSE AMEX’s shareholder approval requirements in circumstances where the securities issuance does not trigger such a requirement under the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange. The foregoing is consistent with the laws, customs and practices in Canada.Part IIIItem 17.
