|REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation (the Company) as of August 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended August 31, 2009.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the year in the three-year period ended August 31, 2009 in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects from US generally accepted accounting principles. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 13to theconsolidatedfinancial statements.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated October 27, 2009 expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

|REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation

We have audited Tanzanian Royalty Explorations (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  The following material weakness has been identified and included in management's assessment:  the Company has limited accounting personnel with expertise in generally accepted accounting principles to enable effective segregation of duties with respect to financial reporting matters and internal control over financial reporting.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of August 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended August 31, 2009.  This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the August 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated October 27, 2009, except for note 12 which is as of November 11, 2009, which expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, because of the effect of the aforementioned material weakness on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

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, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to explore and develop, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the mineral properties. The amounts shown as deferred expenditures and property acquisition costs represent net costs to date, less amounts recovered, amortized and/or written off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.

The Companys subsidiaries are considered integrated foreign subsidiaries and their accounts are translated using the temporal method.  Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing year-end exchange rates.  Non-monetary assets are translated at historical exchange rates.

Option payments arising on the acquisition of mineral property interests are exercisable at the discretion of the Company and are recognized as paid or payable.

|   |                                              | Overhead costs directly related to exploration are allocated to the mineral properties explored during the year and are deferred and are to be 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.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|   |                                              | Under CICA Handbook Section 3061, Property, Plant and Equipment, for a mining property, the cost of the asset includes exploration costs if the enterprise considers that such costs have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment.  Emerging Issue Committee Abstract 174, Mining Exploration Costs, (EIC-174) states that a mining enterprise that has not established mineral reserves objectively, and therefore does not have a basis for preparing a projection of the estimated cash flow from the property, is not precluded from considering the exploration costs to have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment.  EIC-174 also sets forth the EICs consensus that a mining enterprise in the development stage is not required to consider the conditions in Accounting Guideline No. 11 Enterprises in the Development Stage(AcG 11) regarding impairment in determining whether exploration costs may be initially capitalized.
|   |                                              | With respect to impairment of capitalized exploration costs, EIC-174 sets forth the EICs consensus that a mining enterprise in the development stage that has not established mineral reserves objectively, and, therefore, does not have a basis for preparing a projection of the estimated cash flow from the property, is not obliged to conclude that capitalized costs have been impaired.  However, such an enterprise should consider the conditions set forth in AcG 11 and CICA Handbook Section 3061 in determining whether a subsequent write-down of capitalized exploration costs related to mining properties is required.

Furthermore, pursuant to EIC-174, deferred exploration costs are not automatically subject to regular assessment of recoverability, unless conditions, such as those discussed in AcG 11, exist.

Such assets are tested for impairment in accordance with the provisions of the CICA Handbook Section 3063, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.  Mineral properties and deferred exploration costs are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognized if, at the date it is tested for recoverability, the carrying amount of the mineral property exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its production and/or eventual disposition.  The impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the mineral property exceeds its fair value.

|   |                                              | The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the asset and liability method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (temporary differences) and loss carry forwards, and are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to reverse.  Future tax benefits, such as non-capital loss carry forwards, are recognized if realization of such benefits is considered more likely than not.

|   |                                              | The Company recognizes the fair value of a future asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that results from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the assets if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.  The Company concurrently recognizes a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset that is depreciated over the life of the asset.  The fair value of the asset retirement obligation is estimated using the expected cash flow approach that reflects a range of possible outcomes discounted at a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.  Subsequent to the initial measurement, the asset retirement obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation.  Changes in the obligation due to the passage of time are recognized in income as an operating expense using the interest method.  Changes in the obligation due to changes in estimated cash flows are recognized as an adjustment of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset that is depreciated over the remaining life of the asset.

All outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, special warrants and share purchase warrants, all of which could potentially dilute basic loss per share, have not been included in the computation of diluted loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

|   |                                              | ·
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as held-for-trading and accordingly carried at their fair values;
·
Accounts and other receivables are classified as loans and receivables;
·
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities.

The new disclosure standard increases the emphasis on the risks associated with both recognized and unrecognized financial instruments and how those risks are managed.  The new presentation standard carries forward the existing presentation requirements.  These new standards were adopted by the Company effective September 1, 2008 and disclosures can be found in note 10.

In addition, disclosures are to include whether companies have complied with externally imposed capital requirements and, if not in compliance, the consequences of such non-compliance.  These new standards were adopted by the Company effective September 1, 2008 and disclosures can be found in note 11.

|   |                                              | (iv)                                                                | The Company implemented the CICA Section 3031, Inventories,which replaces Section 3030, Inventories,in an effort to harmonize accounting for inventories under Canadian GAAP with IFRS. This standard requires inventories for the consolidated group to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.  Management has determined the initial adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for any periods presented.

The Company has applied this new abstract for the year ended August 31, 2009 and there was no significant impact on its financial statements as a result of this abstract.

The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period.  In February 2008 the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canadian GAAP.  The changeover date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.  The Company will therefore adopt IFRS for its August 2012 year end.  The transition date of September 1, 2010 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended August 31, 2011.  While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Section 3064 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets.  This new standard applies to the Companys interim and annual financial statements effective September 1, 2009 and had no material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

|   | For each concession granted in Tanzania under a prospecting or a reconnaissance licence, the Company is required to carry out a minimum amount of exploration work before a mining licence can be granted for further development.  Commencing with the new mining act issued in Tanzania in 1998, a prospecting licence is issued for a period of up to three years and renewable two times for a period up to two years each.  At each renewal at least 50% of the remaining area is relinquished.  A reconnaissance licence is issued for two years and renewed for a period not exceeding a year.  All prospecting licences are granted subject to an annual rental fee of not more than US$50 per square kilometer payable to the government of Tanzania, a minimum exploration work commitment, and employment and training of Tanzanians.  In addition, the government of Tanzania imposes a royalty on the gross value of all production at the rate of 3% of all gold produced.

|   | Future income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  In assessing the recoverability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible.  During 2009, management identified that certain of the Companys future income tax assets at August 31, 2008 were overstated and this has been amended resulting in decrease of $770,000 in the future income tax asset and related valuation allowance previously disclosed.

Throughout the year, the Company has obtained funding via private placements from various sources, including the Companys Chairman.  Refer to note 3 and note 9 which discussed payments the Company is committed to funding.

Property acquisition costs are capitalized as incurred and are subject to impairment analysis on occurrence of a triggering event, which is effectively a negative event that differs from the Companys original expectations made at the time of the acquisition.  Such acquisition costs will be amortized on a unit of production basis once production commences.

For US GAAP purposes, these costs would be characterized as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The mineral property exploration costs incurred would previously have been expensed for US GAAP and, as such, have been added back to loss from operations under US GAAP for the years ended August 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

This is consistent with the method used for US GAAP purposes.  However, differences to amounts recorded for future income taxes arose in prior years on the application of US GAAP to the financial statements due to the differences in accounting for mineral property exploration and land use costs. IThe Company recognizes interest expense and penalties related to income tax uncertainty in the statement of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit.

Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market value of the stock at the measurement date, which is generally the grant date, over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.  The application of APB 25 resulted in compensation expense of $61,850 being recognized for stock-based compensation plans for employees prior to August 31, 2001, and no material expense for any of the other periods presented up to August 31, 2005.  On September 1, 2005, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No 123R, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123R) for US GAAP purposes, which requires the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments to be based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  The accounting for employee awards under SFAS 123R is similar to the Companys accounting policy for Canadian GAAP purposes, and, as such, a GAAP difference does not arise during the year ended August 31, 2006 and there is no cumulative effect on adoption on September 1, 2005.

SFAS 160 established accounting and reporting standards pertaining to (i) ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, (ii) the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, (iii) changes in a parents ownership interest, and (iv) the valuation of any retained non-controlling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  For presentation and disclosure purposes, SFAS 160 requires non-controlling interests to be classified as a separate component of shareholders equity.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which are to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented.  The Company does not expect this standard to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

EITF 03-6-1clarified whether certain instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities.  This guidance specified that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.  The two-class method allocates undistributed earnings between common shares and participating securities.  This authoritative guidance is effective as of the Companys first quarter of fiscal 2010.  The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its loss per share calculation.

SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation (FIN) 46(R) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise's variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity.  Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance.  This Statement amends FIN 46(R) to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity.  It would also require ongoing assessments to determine whether an entity is a variable interest entity and whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  SFAS No. 167 is effective for the Company's fiscal year 2010.  The Company is evaluating the impact SFAS No. 167 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The FSP requires the SFAS No. 107 disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments to be presented in interim financial statements in addition to annual financial statements.  The FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  The Company will begin utilizing the disclosure guidance of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
