4 M E S S A G E F R O M T H E C H A I R M A N Dear valued shareholders, As a new year begins and most of us have quickly shifted our pace into high gear with work and personal projects, I wanted to take a moment, as Chairman of the Board of TRX Gold Corporation, to extend my greetings and to express my enthusiasm for the year that lies ahead . For a moment I would like to look back, as I know several of you personally and have chatted with many of you along the way to my present role . It does not feel like so long ago that my path led me to what was then known as Tanzanian Gold Corporation . As a person with conviction and perseverance, I have been fortunate to have had many significant and terrific opportunities along the way, with one staying element ; the belief in the value of gold . My career journey has taken me from precious metals specialist to commodities and foreign currency trader and industry executive . As "Mr . Gold" throughout the 70 's and 80 's I have had the opportunity to share my thoughts and opinions with hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of both like - minded and opposed individuals . I have founded and operated a group of companies offering full brokerage services in stocks, bonds, and other investment vehicles, with branches in New York, Kansas City, Toronto, Chicago, London and Geneva, until the early 80 's . I have authored three books, numerous magazine articles and founded the JSMineset site and podcast, covering a variety of investment subjects, including precious metals, trading strategies and geopolitical events and their relationship to world economics and the markets . It has all been remarkably interesting and great fun . What is more, is that this road led me to discover the second thing I believe in most – the Buckreef Gold Project – and what we are all part of today, TRX Gold Corporation . We have a wonderful project in hand, that has over 2 million ounces of gold in the ground, with a tremendous amount of blue - sky potential to uncover so much more gold . As a result of careful succession planning, I am thrilled that our current trustworthy and capable management team has allowed TRX Gold to achieve several major milestones over the last 24 months . 2023 has started off at a great pace, with gold production running steadily and an ongoing drill program that is prioritizing some highly anticipated targets . To our many valued shareholders, I want to thank you for your many years of trust and loyalty and for believing in TRX Gold . Wishing you a healthy and prosperous 2023 . James E. Sinclair, Chairman

6 It is with immense pleasure that I take this opportunity to speak to you directly, through TRX Gold's inaugural Annual Report . As you have witnessed, much change has taken place over the last several months . In fact, it has been just over two years since I joined TRX Gold as CEO . An opportunity that I accepted with great fervor, knowing that my background and years of experience as a "change agent" were going to be meaningful tools for the challenges and successes that lie ahead . To ensure a bright future for TRX Gold and its stakeholders, many tough decisions and a careful repositioning of the Company has been necessary . The focus during the past two years has been to preserve value and to set a solid foundation for future growth at Buckreef ; both in terms of production as well as the resource base . At times, this has been a daunting endeavor as several corrective measures were necessary . However, through careful planning, tackling one challenge at a time, proper practices were put in place, particularly around recapitalization and company finances, management and employees, government and local stakeholder relations and other functional areas across the Company . Our top priority was to secure our social license in Tanzania ; and the only way to do so was to devise a new mine plan and expedite the mine build, in order to adhere to the Special Mining License (SML) . Furthermore, we needed to address matters relating to our treasury by settling legacy penalties, remedying a negative cash burn, taking inventory of existing and much needed equipment and ensuring we had a capable labor force in place . The solution to most of these issues, and the foundation for our growth strategy, was the construction and commissioning of the (first phase) 360 tonne per day (tpd) oxide ore processing facility . With a manageable capex under US $2 M to build and commission, the mill allowed Buckreef to produce low - cost, high - margin gold in the near - term, addressing the operating cash burn and enabling the retention of our loyal and skilled employee base . More importantly, the cash flow from this operation went in large part toward the expansion project, increasing milling capacity to the existing 1 , 000 + tpd . Once more, our dedicated team on site worked efficiently and carefully to deliver the project on time and budget . Cash flow from operations supporting value - accreditive activities - a key differentiator that makes TRX Gold unique within the junior mining space . The Company drilled over 22 , 000 meters at Buckreef Gold, spending a self - funded US $3 . 7 million, which included infill drilling, step - out drilling and grade control drilling . The result was an important 30 % increase to the strike length at Buckreef Main Zone, which is now over 2 km . Furthermore, our results demonstrate the continuity of mineralization in all directions as well as excellent width and grade of mineralization . Additionally, we discovered two new shear zones adjacent to the Buckreef Main Zone, in Buckreef West and Anfield . As we move into 2023 , we will remain committed to uncovering the blue - sky opportunity that Buckreef Gold presents, as we have a number of important drill targets that we hope will allow us to add to our Mineral Resource and Reserve numbers . As many of you have seen during our presentations, nothing brings more of a smile to my face as the potential upside of the resource base - there appears to be gold all over our property . Here we are at the beginning of 2023 and the future for TRX Gold and all its stakeholders is bright and brimming with opportunity . TRX Gold is a self - sustaining junior gold producer, with multiple avenues for growth . We are focused on increasing gold production in a phased approach to mitigate costs and risks . We are also focused on expanding our mineral resource, as exploration results continue to show us evidence of a potentially much larger gold deposit . And as we move through the year ahead, we will explore the possibility for beneficial M&A and land acquisition opportunities . We will remain committed to maintaining open and transparent dialogue with all stakeholders including local communities, regional ministries and governmental bodies . We will take care of our most precious resources, our people and the environment . We will be more proactive in reporting our policy and practice vis - a - vis ESG and corporate governance . With these commitments in place, I feel strongly that TRX Gold will become an inspiring growth story within the junior gold mining space, and that our efforts will bring a return to shareholder value creation .

The Company was granted an extension to the renewal date for the Special Mining License for the Buckreef Gold Project, extending the renewal period of the Project by an additional five years from 2027 to 2032. G E N E R A T E D C A S H F L O W Q 3 & Q 4 2022 was the first year in which TRX Gold reported two quarters, both Q3 and Q4 2022, as having generated cash flow from mining operations, enabling the Company to stay on key with its business plan of reinvesting cash flow into value - accretive activities such as drilling.

10 2022 OPERA TIONAL A CCO MPLISHMENTS In February 2022 , the TRX Gold team successfully completed construction of Phase 1 of the processing plant expansion, to nameplate capacity of 360 tonnes per day ("tpd") . The 360 tpd expansion phase was completed on time and on budget for a capital cost of $1 . 6 M . The exploration team at Buckreef had their boots on the ground, drills turning, and accomplished 22 , 000 meters of drilling . The Company confirmed an extension of the Buckreef Gold Main Zone by 30 % , increasing the strike length of the Buckreef Main Zone to 2 . 0 kilometers .

11 In the latter part of 2022 , following the close of the Company's fiscal year, Phase 2 of the processing plant expansion to nameplate capacity of 1 , 000 tpd, was completed and attained commercial production . Once again, the team delivered this milestone on time and on budget for $4 M . A drilling campaign was completed in light of a metallurgical variability study that will help define the mine plan for the next five to 7 years of production, as well as the larger sulphide project which encompasses the 2 million plus ounce gold Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource .

12 M O R E G R O W T H F O R T H E Y E A R A H E A D As we look back on 2022 as a transformational year with feelings of pride and accomplishment, we now plan for the year ahead with the same eagerness and determination . Our business plan is simple, reinvesting the cash flow generated from current gold production into value - accretive activities . In this way, TRX makes its best effort to reduce costs and operational risks while also minimizing the need for capital raising and limiting shareholder dilution . We commit to executing this strategy through a three - pronged approach : 1 . Growing gold production in the near - term, using existing infrastructure: Buckreef Gold is set to produce 20 , 000 - 25 , 000 ounces of gold in Fiscal 2023 (F 2023) from its 1 , 000 + tpd mill . As with the two mill expansions in 2022 , the team at TRX is currently evaluating yet another expansion that could increase annual throughput of the oxide ore by 75 - 100 % . Detailed engineering and procurement of equipment has commenced . Construction is expected to start later this year and could potentially benefit gold production in early F 2024 . 2 . Grow gold production in the mid - to long - term from the sulphide ore portion of the deposit with additional infrastructure: TRX Gold is currently mining and producing gold mainly from the oxide ore portion of the Buckreef deposit, found close to surface . However, 90 % of its 2 + million ounce resource base is found within deeper, harder ores . With the help of a 19 - hole metallurgical variability sampling program, TRX is currently assessing the possibility of processing this deeper material using our existing plant and flowsheet, with the addition of adaptive equipment . Work began in 2022 , including geotechnical studies for a deeper pit design and planning for long - term tailings treatment and storage . In the long - term, TRX Gold will analyze, evaluate and plan for a much larger operation that will likely necessitate a much larger processing facility to significantly increase gold production in the future . 3 . Grow Resources and Reserves through exploration drilling success: Over the last 24 months, Buckreef 's exploration team has had drills turning non - stop over the vast 16 km 2 property . Our main goal is to increase our Mineral Resource with the ambition of one day operating a 100 , 000 - 200 , 000 ounce gold per annum project . Thus far we have been able to identify a total of six zones, namely the Buckreef Main Zone, Eastern Porphyry, Buckreef West, Anfield, Bingwa and Tembo . Since drilling recommenced in 2021 , an additional 500 meters of gold mineralization has been added to the deposit's known strike length, representing approximately a 30 % overall increase . In 2023 , the team will continue its drilling program consisting of 9 , 000 meters of diamond drilling, 13 , 000 meters of grade control drilling and 10 , 000 meters of reverse circulation 'sterilization' drilling and will cover brownfields drilling at the Buckreef Main Zone (NE and SW), Buckreef West, Eastern Porphyry and greenfield drilling at Anfield .

14 V A L U E C R E A T I O N T H R O U G H T H E D R I L L B I T TRX Gold is committed to reinvesting a portion of its cash flow from operations into continued drilling of the Buckreef property . We feel that the project's true potential is yet to be uncovered, based on some of the great results that we have received to date . In 2022 , the Company drilled over 22 , 000 meters at Buckreef Gold including infill drilling, step - out drilling and grade control drilling . A highlight to the 2022 campaign was the extension by the exploration team of Buckreef Gold's Main Zone by 300 meters or 30 % , to 2 . 0 kilometers, resulting from its northeast step - out drilling program . Furthermore, we have been able to confirm that gold mineralization is still open to Northeast at depths to 250 - 300 m, consistent with the Buckreef Main Zone . For F 2023 , TRX Gold will conduct a property wide drilling program consisting of 9 , 000 meters of diamond drilling, 13 , 000 meters of grade control drilling and 10 , 000 meters of reverse circulation 'sterilization' drilling for fiscal 2023 . The overall goal of the project is to discover new resources and to convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves . Sterilization drilling will also take place at site expansion facilities, including tailings storage and waste rock facilities . TRX Gold's work plan for 2023 will consist of : 1 Step - out drilling in the northeast extension of Buckreef Main 2 Infill drilling to upgrade Mineral Resources currently in the Inferred category in Buckreef Main 3 Infill drilling at Buckreef West 4 Developing an exploration program for the newly discovered Anfield Zone 5 Upgrading historical mineral resources at Bingwa and Tembo 6 Identifying new prospects at Buckreef Gold Project, and in the East African region.

16 T H E B U C K R E E F G O L D P R O J E C T The Buckreef Gold Project is located in the Geita District of the Geita Region, south of Lake Victoria, approximately 110 km southwest of the City of Mwanza, Tanzania . It is situated on the interior of the prolific Lake Victoria (Archean) Greenstone Belt, and neighbor to a number of well - known large - scale gold mining operations owned by Tier 1 gold mine operators . Buckreef has a significant footprint that measures 16 square kilometers . The Project is easily accessed by ferry across Smiths Sound, via a paved national road and well maintained unpaved regional roads . It is also supported by important infrastructure such as a connection to the regional electric power grid, access to water and a reliable and skilled labor force . The Buckreef Gold Project is unique in that it allows TRX Gold the opportunity to operate a low - cost open - pit gold mine during its early years of production, thanks to near - surface gold - bearing oxide ore . It also offers TRX blue - sky potential for growing the project's size, through ongoing exploration and infill drilling, with the goal of uncovering a much larger resource within the sulphide ore, that may eventuality be mined at depth . Buckreef is comprised of five highly - prospective zones, namely Buckreef, Bingwa, Tembo, Eastern Porphyry and Anfield . The Buckreef Gold Project itself encompasses three main mineralized zones : Buckreef South, Buckreef Main and Buckreef North . The Buckreef Gold Project is fully licensed for mining and the extraction of gold .

M A N A G E M E N T ' S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A L Y S I S 38 Management's Discussion and Analysis August 31, 2022 Operations Discussion Gold Production and Sales During Q 4 2022 , Buckreef Gold poured 3 , 619 ounces of gold and sold 3 , 363 ounces of gold, both new quarterly records for the Company . For the twelve months ended August 31 , 2022 , Buckreef Gold poured 8 , 874 ounces of gold and sold 8 , 598 ounces of gold . The record production and sales have resulted in positive operating cash flow at Buckreef Gold and TRX Gold for the first year in the Company's history . Mining Total ore mined in Q 4 2022 increased to 69 thousand tonnes (kt) from 8 kt in the comparative prior year period . For the twelve months ended August 31 , 2022 total ore mined increased to 199 kt from 44 kt in the prior year comparative period following successful ramp - up and commissioning of the 360 tpd processing plant during the year . In Q 4 2022 the strip ratio was 4 . 2 (waste : ore tonnes) and for the twelve months ended August 31 , 2022 was 4 . 5 (waste : ore tonnes) . During the year Buckreef Gold continued to build up a significant inventory of mined material . Mining costs per tonne (variable) primarily reflect contractor mining costs following the hiring of FEMA in Q 1 2022 on a two - year contract to mine ore, waste and to construct the TSF at Buckreef Gold . Mining costs per tonne (variable) of $3 . 64 in Q 4 2022 were higher as compared to Q 4 2021 ($2 . 51) primarily due to the impact of higher fuel prices on higher tonnes mined, combined with an increase in blasting activity during Q 4 2022 to access higher grade ore blocks which are expected to benefit F 2023 production . For the twelve months ended August 31 , 2022 , mining costs per tonne of $3 . 19 were higher than the prior year comparative period ($2 . 22) mainly due to higher fuel costs and an increase in blasting activity as Buckreef Gold ramped up mining operations in preparation for 360 tpd and 1 , 000 + tpd processing plant commissioning . Processing The 360 tpd processing plant operated at nameplate capacity in Q 4 2022 and achieved the following statistics : (i) average throughput of 390 tpd ; (ii) plant availability of 93 % ; and (iii) an average recovery rate of 92 % with consistent tailings grade, regardless of head grade . On a full year basis, after achieving nameplate capacity of 360 tpd during Q 2 2022 , the processing plant achieved the following : (i) average throughput of 287 tpd ; (ii) plant availability of 90 % ; and (iii) an average recovery rate of 90 % . For the three months ended August 31 , 2022 , processing costs per tonne (variable) of $14 . 45 reflected an increase relative to Q 4 2021 ($12 . 34) . For the twelve months ended August 31 , 2022 , processing costs per tonne of $15 . 32 were higher than the prior year comparative period ($11 . 22) . The increase in processing costs as compared to the prior quarter and year comparative periods was mainly due to an increase in power utilization, fuel consumption and chemical and reagent usage following expansion of the processing plant from 120 tpd to 360 tpd during the year .

M A N A G E M E N T ' S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A L Y S I S 43 Management's Discussion and Analysis August 31, 2022 Exploration & Mineral Resources TRX Gold and Buckreef Gold continue to evaluate the full potential of the Buckreef Gold property and identify opportunities for the discovery of additional mineral resources and their conversion to mineral reserves . Successful exploration will also provide greater production flexibility and growth . To achieve this goal the Company, in conjunction with Buckreef Gold, has :  Re - evaluated the Buckreef Main Zone for strike extensions, off - shoot splays, and at depth potential . The deposit is open in all directions (See Figure 6) . To date, the Company has tested the NE Extension and successfully identified gold mineralization over an additional 300 meters . The deposit remains open to the northeast ;  Drilled the Buckreef West target, a splay off the Buckreef Main Zone, with positive drill results . Buckreef West has the potential to add additional resources to the oxide and sulphide mine plans (see Figure 7) ;  In 2021 the Company discovered the Anfield Zone, a parallel structure 500 meters to the east of the Buckreef Main Zone and with evidence of an additional 3 km of shear zone target (See Figure 7) . Initial grab sample results have been high - grade, including three samples grading 37 . 52 g/t, 28 . 55 g/t and 14 . 42 g/t respectively ;  Following completion of infill drilling at the Buckreef South pit area the Company has planned additional drilling to test for extension of gold mineralization to the southwest beyond the existing Mineral Resources . Drilling in this area commenced in June 2022 ; and  Evaluated and identified numerous other targets at Buckreef Gold, which form part of an exploration pipeline or 'Exploration Triangle' at the Buckreef Gold Project . Buckreef Gold Main Zone Drilling Results and Interpretation The Buckreef Main Zone has been re - evaluated and exploration targets to expand the zone have been identified . Results to date evidence a vertically extensive shear zone extending nearly 2 km on strike in a northeast, southwest trend . The deposit is open along strike and at depth . Analysis of drill hole intersections and the mineral resource block model indicates that higher grade shoots exist within the deposit and that these are of sufficient width and grade to be of interest for future underground mining . Should this be the case the deposit may have a significantly extended Life of Mine . The significant mineralized intercepts of the Buckreef Main Zone are as shown in the Figure 6 . It is evident that the deposit remains open on trend to the northeast and southwest . As noted, the Company has initiated a drill program, specifically to explore potential mineralization extensions to the NE and SW and to upgrade shallow Inferred Mineral Resources . Buckreef Gold – Fiscal 2022 Exploration to Date The Company drilled over 22 , 000 meters at Buckreef Gold including infill drilling, step - out drilling and grade control drilling . During the year ended August 31 , 2022 , Buckreef Gold reported an extension of the Buckreef Main Zone by 300 meters (m) (increasing the strike length of the Buckreef Main Zone to 2 . 0 kilometers) and reported positive assay results from the northeast step - out drilling program on the Buckreef Gold Main Zone . The results are positive and significant for the Company as they demonstrate : (i) good width and grade of mineralization consistent with the Buckreef Main Zone ; (ii) successful step - out extending the strike length of known mineralization ; (iii) gold mineralization open to NE and at depths to 250 - 300 meters, again consistent with the Buckreef Main Zone ; and (iv) the immense opportunity to generate and drill significant exploration targets to expand the scale and scope of the Buckreef Gold Project .

The Buckreef Main Zone continues to be open further to the NE and extending to the Buckreef Special Mining License boundary (see Figure 8) . Results to date from the drill program are tabulated below in Table 1 . 1 .  Expansion of Exploration Program : Buckreef Gold has drilled 22 holes to date representing over 7 , 592 meters in the NE extension of Buckreef Main Zone and has added an additional drill rig to expand the exploration program . Buckreef Gold has finalized the planning for an infill and extension drill program to : (i) upgrade Mineral Resources currently in the Inferred category in Buckreef Gold Main Zone, and (ii) commence infill drilling at Buckreef West . This program has commenced, and during the year Buckreef Gold completed an infill drill program at the Main Zone of 16 drill holes representing 3 , 695 meters . Assay results from this program are pending .  The Company has also commenced exploration drilling to the south of the Main Zone, where the drill rig is now active approximately 250 meters beyond the historical South Pit . During Q 4 2022 , the Company explored under the South Pit and tested the South Zone extension with 24 drill holes representing 4 , 255 meters . Results from both programs are pending .  Subsequent to year - end, the Company commenced exploration drilling at the Anfield Zone, where the drill rig is now active with 9 drill holes representing 1 , 650 meters .

M A N A G E M E N T ' S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A L Y S I S 48 Management's Discussion and Analysis August 31, 2022 Sulphide Development Project – Preliminary Metallurgical Results and Ongoing Work During the year, the Company . working with Ausenco, revised and elaborated the RFP process (for the metallurgical variability study), including studies for dry stack tailing parameters . The Company has identified a number of global laboratories to complete this work to undertake which will encompass the first 5 - 7 years of production from the sulphide mine and processing operations at Buckreef Gold . This study will build on the prior work of SGSC on deeper parts of the mineral resource and data gathered during processing of the oxide, transitional mineral reserve . SGS Lakefield was previously retained to complete initial metallurgical test work at their Lakefield, Ontario facility on the sulphide component of the mineral resource, this work was completed in 2021 . As part of the initial (2021) study, three diamond core samples taken from the fresh rock ('sulphide' mineral resource) of the Buckreef Gold deposit were submitted to SGS Lakefield for the study . The study highlights include :  The following intercepts and gold recoveries have been confirmed in the report: x MC01: 0.54 g/t Au over 78.88 meters – 94.1% x MC02: 19.4 g/t Au over 27.99 meters – 95.4% x MC03: 1.71 g/t Au over 52.53 meters – 85.3%  A straightforward flowsheet consisting of: x Primary grinding to P80 = ~100 - 150 µm x Rougher flotation x Regrind of the rougher concentrate to ~15 - 20 µm (P80) x Cyanide leaching of the reground flotation concentrate x Cyanide leaching of the flotation tailing  No refractory association of gold with arsenic sulphide was detected;  The samples tested did not exhibit any preg - robbing or other refractory characteristics;  Clean tailings, high probability of mine tailings not being acid generating, confirming the approach of dry stack tailings going forward; and  Further opportunities to improve gold extraction from MC03 have been identified through diagnostic leach testing.

M A N A G E M E N T ' S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A L Y S I S 49 Management's Discussion and Analysis August 31, 2022 In 2020, three diamond drill holes were completed for the purposes of initial, modern era metallurgical test work. Diamond drill hole details are tabulated below: Buckreef Main Metallurgy samples The samples were extracted as fresh drill core from areas/zones with known lithologies from within the current project's open pit limit . The samples were selected by TRX Gold and confirmed by the SGS geological services group that worked together doing the metallurgical sample selection . The investigation included ore characterization, comminution, mineralogy, head analyses, and potential for gold preg - robbing, and evaluated the amenability of the three samples to two primary processing flowsheet options, that incorporate comminution (crushing and grinding), gravity separation, flotation and cyanidation unit operations . Metallurgical testing for the sulphide development project has moved to variability testing of the first 5 - 7 years of production and will continue throughout 2022 including tailing characteristics for dry stack tailings . Geotechnical and groundwater work will continue on identified areas (i . e . plant, tailings, waste rock storage facility) . To date, a total of 19 holes (2 , 367 meters) have been completed for the metallurgical program . These metallurgical sample holes have been logged and are in preparation for shipment . Similar to the initial metallurgical test work, the samples will be analyzed for :  Overall gold recoveries;  Process design to achieve those recoveries (grindability, retention times, straight CIL or flotation/regrind);  Any pregnant solution robbing or refractory mineralogy;  Acid Mine Drainage (if any) characteristics; and  Dry stack tailings characteristics. An RFP for this study was submitted to various laboratories during Q 3 2022 and the RFP process is nearing completion . It is anticipated that the metallurgical testing will commence in Q 2 2023 .

Financial Results Three months ended August 31, 2022 Revenue For the three months ended August 31 , 2022 , the Company recognized revenue of $6 . 0 million . Note that the financial statements for the comparable period do not present revenue, cost of sales or gross profit as Buckreef Gold early adopted the IAS 16 amendment as disclosed in the three and six months ended February 28 , 2022 financial statements . Gold sales and related costs prior to that date were capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets and expenditures . During the period, the Company sold 3 , 363 ounces of gold at a realized price 1 of $1 , 792 per ounce .

M A N A G E M E N T ' S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A L Y S I S 52 Management's Discussion and Analysis August 31, 2022 Cost of sales Cost of sales for the three months ended August 31 , 2022 was $1 . 9 million and is comprised of production costs, (including mining, processing, site services and site general and administrative costs), royalties and depreciation . Assets are depreciated on a straight - line basis over their useful life or depleted on a units - of - production basis over the reserves to which they relate . During the period, the Company recorded cash costs 1 of $560 per ounce, below guidance, mainly due to a build - up of inventory stockpiles in Q 4 2022 . General and administrative expense During the three months ended August 31 , 2022 , the Company recorded general and administrative expense of $2 . 8 million compared to $4 . 6 million for the previous year comparable period, mainly due to a decrease in share based expense . During the year ended August 31 , 2021 , the Company granted equity based compensation to certain key management personnel in connection with their employment contracts . The fair value of the equity based compensation granted was recorded on a cumulative basis during Q 4 2021 based on the terms of employment contracts . Financial instrument related cost and other During the three months ended August 31 , 2022 , the Company had a financial instrument related loss of $3 . 4 million compared to a gain of $0 . 7 million in the prior year period mainly due to a loss on revaluation of derivative warrant liabilities . The loss on revaluation of derivative warrant liabilities was principally due to an increase in the share price using the Black Scholes option pricing model (Q 4 2022 - $0 . 48 , Q 4 2021 - $0.41). Foreign Exchange During the three months ended August 31 , 2022 , the Company had a foreign exchange loss of $0 . 1 million compared to a gain of $0 . 3 million in the prior year period . The variance compared to the prior period was primarily due to the cumulative adjustment arising from the Company changing its presentation currency from Canadian dollars to US dollars during the year ended August 31 , 2021 . Current income tax expense Income tax expense is recognized based on management's estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year . During the three months ended August 31 , 2022 , the Company recorded net income at Buckreef Gold and recognized a current income tax payable of $0 . 2 million (August 31 , 2021 - $ nil) based on current Tanzanian statutory tax rates . Net earnings (loss) and comprehensive earnings (loss) The Company reported a net loss for the three month period ended August 31 , 2022 of $2 . 4 million (basic and diluted loss per share of $0 . 02 , respectively), compared to a net loss of $3 . 5 million in the prior year period (basic and diluted earnings per share of $0 . 01 , respectively) . The decrease in the net loss is primarily the result of an increase in gross profit of $4 . 1 million following sales of $6 . 0 million and cost of sales of $1 . 9 million during Q 4 2022 . This, combined with a decrease in general and administrative expense ($1 . 8 million) due to lower share based expense versus the prior year period was partially offset by a loss on financial instruments versus a gain in the prior comparative period, mainly related to a loss on revaluation of derivative warrant liabilities in the current period, and income tax expense of $0 . 2 million following recognition of net income at Buckreef Gold .

Gold sales prior to Q 2 2022 were capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets and expenditures . During the period, the Company sold 8 , 598 ounces of gold at a realized price 1 of $1 , 756 per ounce . Cost of sales Cost of sales for the twelve months ended August 31 , 2022 were $5 . 7 million following early adoption of IAS 16 in Q 2 2022 . Costs of sales prior to Q 2 2022 were capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets and expenditures . During the period, the Company recorded cash costs 1 of $665 per ounce, below guidance, mainly due to a build - up of inventory stockpiles combined with lower mining costs and lower processing costs during the year . General and administrative expense During the twelve months ended August 31 , 2022 , the Company recorded general and administrative expenses of $8 . 9 million compared to $9 . 7 million for the prior year . The decrease in general and administrative expense was mainly due to a reduction in professional and consulting fees and reclassification of certain salaries and benefits related to Buckreef Gold operations that were recorded in cost of sales as a result of adoption of IAS 16 during the year ended August 31 , 2022 . This was partially offset by an increase in insurance premiums related to Directors and Officers insurance and an increase in share based expense (2022 - $3 . 1 million, 2021 - $2 . 9) related to equity based compensation granted to employees and management of the Company during the year in connection with the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan . 2022 2021 Revenue $15,094 $- Cost of sales (5,715) - Gross profit 9,379 - General and administrative expense (8,920) (9,696) Financial instrument related cost and other (2,328) 4,659 Reclamation expense (134) (134) Loss on disposal of assets (36) (27) Foreign exchange 167 (78) Interest, net and other expense (14) (7) Current income tax expense (436) - Net loss and comprehensive loss $(2,322) $(5,283) Net earnings (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to non - controlling interests 3,894 (1,279) Net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to shareholders (6,216) (4,004) Twelve months ended August 31

Average realized price per ounce of gold sold is calculated by dividing gold sales proceeds received by the Company for the relevant period by the ounces of gold sold . It may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings . Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars. Cash costs per ounce of gold sold Cash cost per ounce of gold sold is a non - IFRS performance measure and does not constitute a measure recognized by IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS . Cash cost per ounce may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings . The following table provides a reconciliation of total cash costs per ounce of gold sold to cost of goods sold per the financial statements for the three and twelve months ended August 31 , 2022 . Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars . Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is a non - IFRS performance measure and does not constitute a measure recognized by IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS . Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings . Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the company's performance and ability to service its obligations . Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry, many of which present Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results . Issuers present Adjusted EBITDA because investors, analysts and rating agencies consider it useful in measuring the ability of those issuers to meet their obligations . Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and also eliminates the impact of a number of items that are not considered indicative of ongoing operating performance .

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31 , 2022 and 2021 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board . Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 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 , 2022 , based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated November 29 , 2022 expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting because of material weaknesses . Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits . We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U . S . federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB . We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB . Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud . Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks . Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements . Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements . We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion . Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and : (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments . The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates .

66 C O N S O L I D A T E D S T A T E M E N T S O F F I N A N C I A L P O S I T I O N Critical Audit Matter How the Matter was Addressed in the Audit Assessment of Mineral property, plant and equipment for potential impairment indicators As described in Note 9 to the financial statements, the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets at the time of transition to development stage was $40 , 563 , 000 and in Note 8 mineral property, plant and equipment had a carrying value of $51 , 634 , 000 as at August 31 , 2022 . As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements the carrying value of mineral property, plant and equipment is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment . We identified the assessment of mineral property, plant and equipment for potential impairment indicators as a critical audit matter due to the materiality of the balance, the high degree of auditor judgment and an increased level of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management's assumptions in determining whether indicators of impairment are present . Specifically, significant judgement was required to evaluate the future gold prices and the mineral reserves and mineral resources, on which the assumptions for recoverable production are based and considered other factors of recoverability . The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:  Evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's identification of significant events or changes in circumstances that have occurred indicating the underlying Tanzanian property and equipment may not be recoverable by performing an independent assessment ;  Critically evaluated the appropriateness of the methodology used by management to determine the recoverable amount ;  Assessed the Company's future business plans for the mineral property, plant and equipment ;  Evaluated the consistency of management's key assumptions with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit, including comparing metal price forecasts to third party data ; and  Evaluated the disclosures in the financial statements .

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of TRX Gold Corporation Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of TRX Gold Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"), as of August 31 , 2022 , based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) . In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses identified below 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 , 2022 , based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO . We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended August 31 , 2022 of the Company and our report dated November 29 , 2022 , expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements . Basis for Opinion 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 Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit . We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U . S . federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB . We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB . 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, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances . We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion . Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting 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 . 67 C O N S O L I D A T E D S T A T E M E N T S O F F I N A N C I A L P O S I T I O N

68 C O N S O L I D A T E D S T A T E M E N T S O F F I N A N C I A L P O S I T I O N Material Weaknesses 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 or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis . The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management's assessment : Management identified material weaknesses in the Company's overall control environment due to the aggregate effect of multiple deficiencies in internal controls, which affected five components of the internal control as defined by COSO (control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring) . Management did not design and maintain effective controls over the following, each of which is a material weakness : (a) The Company had not implemented and tested all of the Company's key controls, including information technology general controls, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as per the criteria established in the COSO 2013 Framework and (b) Lack of timely review and approval of certain journal entries and reconciliations These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended August 31 , 2022 , of the Company, and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements .

Nature of operations The Company was originally incorporated under the corporate name " 424547 Alberta Ltd . " in the Province of Alberta on July 5 , 1990 , under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) . The name of the Company was changed from Tanzania Gold Corporation to TRX Gold Corporation on May 27 , 2022 ("TRX Gold", "Group" or the "Company") . The address of the Company's registered office is 400 3 rd Avenue SW, Suite 3700 , Calgary, Alberta, T 2 P 4 H 2 , Canada . The address of the Company's principal place of business is 277 Lakeshore Road E, Suite 403 , Oakville, Ontario L 6 J 6 J 3 Canada .

The Company's mineral properties are located in United Republic of Tanzania ("Tanzania") . The Company's common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada and New York Stock Exchange American in the United States of America . The Company is primarily focused on development and mining operations, exploring, and evaluating its mineral properties . The business of exploring and mining for minerals involves a high degree of risk . The underlying value of the mineral properties is dependent upon the existence and economic recovery of mineral resources and reserves, the ability to raise long - term financing to complete the development of the properties, government policies and regulations, and upon future profitable production or, alternatively, upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interest on an advantageous basis ; all of which are uncertain . 2.

Summary of significant accounting policies a) Consolidation principle The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries : TRX Gold Tanzania Limited ("TRX Tanzania"), Tancan Mining Co . Limited ("Tancan"), and Buckreef Gold Company Ltd . ("Buckreef Gold") . Control is achieved when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities .

75 C O N S O L I D A T E D S T A T E M E N T S O F F I N A N C I A L P O S I T I O N TRX Gold Corporation Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended August 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Thousands of US dollars, except for share and per share amounts) b) Mineral properties – Construction in progress All expenditures undertaken in the development, construction, installation and/or completion of mine production facilities to extract, treat, gather, transport and store of minerals are capitalized and initially classified as "Construction in progress" . All expenditures related to the construction of a mine and obtaining access to the orebody are considered to be capital development and are capitalized . Expenses incurred after reaching the orebody are regarded as operating costs and are included in the cost of ore . Upon the commencement of commercial production, all related assets included in "Construction in progress" are reclassified to "Mineral properties" or "Property, plant and equipment" . Determination of commencement of commercial production is a complex process and requires significant assumptions and estimates . The commencement of commercial production is defined as the date when the mine is capable of operating in the manner intended by management . The Company considers primarily the following factors, among others, when determining the commencement of commercial production :  All major capital expenditures to achieve a consistent level of production and desired capacity have been incurred;  A reasonable period of testing of the mine plant and equipment has been completed;  A predetermined percentage of design capacity of the mine and mill has been reached; and  Required production levels, grades and recoveries have been achieved. Amendments to IAS 16 , Property plant and equipment The Company has early adopted amendments to IAS 16 , Property Plant and Equipment as amended in 2020 and are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1 , 2022 . The amendments prohibit the deduction from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds received from the sales of the items produced while bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management . Instead, the entity recognizes the proceeds from the sale of such items, and the cost of producing those items in the Consolidated Statements of income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) . There was no impact of this adoption to the comparative periods as these amendments are only applicable to assets accounted for under IAS 16 . c) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment ("PPE") are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses . The cost of an item of PPE consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located . PPE are depreciated according to either the units - of - production method or on a straight - line basis over their expected useful life, according to the pattern in which the asset's future economic benefits are expected to be consumed . Depreciation commences when the assets are considered available for use . Once PPE are considered available for use, they are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and applicable impairment losses . Where an item of plant and equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of plant and equipment . Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of property, plant and equipment that is accounted for separately, the major inspection and overhaul expenditures of replacement of such a component are capitalized .

Changes to estimated useful lives, residual values or depreciation methods resulting from such reviews are accounted for prospectively . The following table sets out the useful lives of certain assets depreciated using the straight - line basis: Straight - line (years to depreciate) An item of PPE is derecognized upon disposal, when held for sale or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset . Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) . i) Construction - in - progress Assets under construction are capitalized as construction - in - progress . The cost of construction - in - progress comprises of its purchase price and any costs directly attributable to bringing it into working condition for its intended use . Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long - term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met . Construction - in - progress assets are not depreciated until it is completed and available for use . Costs incurred on properties in the development stage are included in the carrying amount of the development project in construction - in - progress . A property is classified as a development property when a mine plan has been prepared and a decision is made to commercially develop the property . Development stage expenditures are costs incurred to obtain access to proven and probable mineral reserves or mineral resources and provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering, transporting, and storing the minerals . All expenditures incurred from the time the development decision is made until when the asset is ready for its intended use are capitalized . Proceeds from mineral sales prior to a mine being capable of operating at levels intended by management and is included in revenue from mining operation which is recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) . ii) Deferred stripping costs In open pit mining operations, it is necessary to remove overburden and other waste materials to access ore from which minerals can be extracted economically . The process of mining overburden and waste materials to access ore from which minerals can be extracted economically is referred to as stripping . Stripping costs incurred in the production phase are accounted for as costs of the inventory produced during the period that the stripping costs are incurred, unless these costs are expected to provide a future economic benefit to an identifiable component of the ore body which will be extracted in the future . Components of the ore body are based on the distinct development phases identified by the mine planning engineers when determining the optimal development plan for the open pit . Capitalized stripping costs are depleted on a units - of - production basis over the proven and probable reserves that become more accessible as a result of the stripping activity . Machinery and equipment Automotive Computer equipment Leasehold improvements Processing plant Over 5 to 8 years Over 5 years Over 3 years Over 5 years Over 8 years

Initially, a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized at its fair value in the period in which it is incurred . Upon initial recognition of the liability, the corresponding asset retirement obligation is added to the carrying amount of the related asset and the cost is amortized as an expense over the economic life of the asset using the declining balance method . Following the initial recognition of the asset retirement obligation, the carrying amount of the liability is increased for the passage of time and adjusted for changes to the current market - based discount rate and adjusted for changes to the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation . e) Share based payments Share based payment transactions The Company has a number of equity - settled share based compensation plans under which the Company issues equity instruments and makes cash payments for withholding taxes due once vested, based on the value of the underlying equity instrument of the Company . Employees (including directors and senior executives) of the Company receive a portion of their remuneration in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments In situations where equity instruments are issued and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at fair value of the share based payment . The Company's share based compensation plans are comprised of the following : Stock options Share based compensation expense is recognized over the stock option vesting period based on the number of options estimated to vest . Management estimates the number of awards likely to vest at the time of a grant and at each reporting date up to the vesting date . On exercise of the vested options, shares are issued from treasury . The fair value of stock options at the grant date is estimated using the Black - Scholes option pricing model . The fair value expense is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award ("the vesting date") . The cumulative expense which is recognized for equity - settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest . The profit or loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and the corresponding amount is represented in share based payment reserve . No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied . Where the terms of an equity - settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified . An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification .

RSUs generally vest in common shares of the Company and the after - tax value of the award is used to purchase common shares on the open market, depending on the terms of the grant . A RSU is measured at fair value on the grant date is recognized on a straight - line basis in share based compensation reserve over the vesting period, with a corresponding charge to compensation expense, as a component of general and administrative expenses and cost of sales, where applicable . RSUs are not remeasured subsequent to the initial grant date . The effect of outstanding options is considered in the computation of earnings per share, if dilutive. f) Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax. Current income tax Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities . The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the date of the statement of financial position . Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the date of the statement of financial position between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes . Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:  Where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss ; and  In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future . Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized except :  Where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss ; and  In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized .

Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the date of the statement of financial position and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered . Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the statement of financial position . g) Earnings (Loss) per share The basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year . The diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding restricted stock units, share purchase warrants, convertible debt, and stock options, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, if dilutive . Because the Company incurred net losses, the effect of the dilutive instruments would be anti - dilutive and therefore diluted loss per share equals basic loss per share . h) Financial instruments Financial assets Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") . The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition . Financial assets are classified at FVTPL if they do not meet the criteria to be classified at amortized cost or FVOCI . Gains or losses on these items are recognized in net earnings or loss . i) FVTPL Financial assets are classified at FVTPL if they do not meet the criteria to be classified at amortized cost or FVOCI. Gains or losses on these items are recognized in net earnings or loss. ii) Amortized cost Financial assets are classified at amortized cost if both of the following criteria are met and the financial assets are not designated as at FVTPL : (i) the object of the Company's business model for these financial assets is to collect their contractual cash flows, and : (ii) the asset's contractual cash flows represent "solely payments of principal and interest" . The Company's other receivables are recorded at amortized cost as they meet the required criteria . A provision is recorded when the estimated recoverable amount of the financial asset is lower than the carrying amount . At each statement of financial position date, the Company assesses on a forward - looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income . The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk . When sold or impaired, any accumulated fair value adjustments previously recognized are included in profit or loss .

This election is available for each separate investment . Under this new FVOCI category, fair value changes are recognized in OCI while dividends are recognized in profit or loss . On disposal of the investment, the cumulative fair value change remains in OCI and is not recycled to net earnings or loss . iv) Reclassifications Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except in the period after the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets . Derivative warrant liabilities Share warrants (not including compensation warrants), are considered a derivative as they are not indexed solely to the entity's own stock . During the year ended August 31 , 2021 the Company issued convertible debentures with detachable warrants for the Company's common shares (Note 16) . The warrants are classified as a derivative financial liability as they are potentially exercisable in cash or on a cashless basis resulting in a variable number of shares being issued . The warrants are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value with changes recognized through profit or loss . The Company uses the Black - Scholes pricing model to estimate fair value at each exercise and period end date . Agent warrants and warrants Warrants issued to agents in connection with an equity financing are recorded at fair value and charged to share issue costs associated with the offering with an offsetting credit to warrants reserve in shareholders' equity . Warrants included in units offered to subscribers in connection with financings are valued using the residual value method whereby proceeds are first allocated to the fair value of the shares and the excess if any, allocated to the warrants . Financial assets Amounts payable and accrued liabilities are accounted for at amortized cost. For financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, any impact on fair value due to changes in credit risk are presented in OCI . During the year, there was no impact on fair value due to changes in credit risk . Transaction costs associated with financial instruments, carried at FVTPL, are expensed as incurred, while transaction costs associated with all other financial instruments are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset or the liability . i) Impairment of non - financial assets At the date of the statement of financial position, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment to determine whether there is an indication that those assets may be impaired . If any, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment . Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash - generating unit to which the asset belongs .

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre - tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset . If the recoverable amount of the asset (or cash - generating unit) is estimated to be less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount . An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss . Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash - generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash - generating unit) in prior years . j) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand, and short - term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are readily convertible into a known amount of cash . k) Related party transactions Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions . Parties are considered to be related if they are subject to common control or are controlled by parties that have significant influence over the entity . Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities . A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties . Related party transactions that are in the normal course of business and have commercial substance are measured at the exchange amount, being the amount agreed by the parties to the transaction . Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company's subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency") . The functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries is the US dollar . The presentation currency of the Company is the US dollar . i) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the rate of exchange existing on the transaction date . Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange at the reporting date . Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss . Non - monetary items measured at historical cost continued to be carried at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions . Non - monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined . The gain or loss arising on translation is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of such an item .

The value of all production inventories includes direct production costs and attributable overhead incurred to bring the materials to their current point in the processing cycle . General and administrative costs for the corporate office are not included in any inventories . All inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with net realizable value determined with reference to market prices, less estimated future production costs to convert inventories into saleable form . If carrying value exceeds net realizable value, a write - down is recognized . The write - down may be reversed in a subsequent period if the circumstances which caused the write - down no longer exists .  Stockpiled ore represents unprocessed ore that has been mined and is available for future processing . Stockpiled ore is measured by estimating the number of tonnes through physical surveys and contained ounces . Stockpiled ore value is based on the costs incurred, including depreciation and applicable mine - site overheads, in bringing the ore to the stockpile . Costs are added to the stockpiled ore based on current mining costs and are removed at the average costs per tonne of ore in the stockpile .  Gold in - circuit inventory represents material that is currently being processed to extract the contained gold into a saleable form . The amount of gold in - circuit is determined by assay values and by measure of the various gold bearing materials in the recovery process . The in - circuit gold is valued at the average of the beginning inventory and the costs of material fed into the processing stream plus in - circuit conversion costs including applicable mine - site overheads .  Gold doré inventory is saleable gold in the form of doré bars that have been poured . Included in the costs are the direct costs of mining and processing operations as well as direct mine site overheads .  Supplies inventories include equipment parts and other consumables required in the mining and ore processing activities and are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value . m) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset . All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur . Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds . n) Revenue recognition The Company sells its gold or silver doré pursuant to sales contracts entered into with the buyer of the products .

Revenue is recognized when title to gold and silver passes to the buyer and when collectability is reasonably assured . Title passes to the buyer based on terms of the sales contract, usually upon delivery of the product to the buyer . Product pricing is determined under the sales agreements which are referenced against active and freely traded commodity markets, for example, the London Bullion Market for both gold and silver, in an identical form to the product sold . Gold and silver doré produced from the Buckreef mine is sold at the prevailing spot market price based on the London Fix depending on the sales contract . In addition to selling refined bullion at spot, the Company has doré purchase agreements in place with a financial institution . Under the agreements, the Company has the option to sell approximately 90 % of the gold and silver contained in doré bars prior to the completion of refining by the third - party refiner . Revenue is recognized when the Company has provided irrevocable instructions to the refiner to transfer to the purchaser the refined ounces sold upon final processing outturn, and when payment of the purchase price for the purchased doré or bullion has been made in full by the purchaser . There is no judgement involved in revenue recognition as revenue is recognized when payment has been made by the purchaser and the product has been delivered . Revenue from sales are recognized net of treatment and refining charges . o) New accounting pronouncements New standards and amendments issued but not yet effective or adopted are described below: i) In May 2021 , the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 , Income Taxes . The amendments to IAS 12 narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it no longer applies to transactions which give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences . The Company is to recognize a deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability for temporary differences arising on initial recognition for certain transactions, including leases and reclamation provisions . The amendments to IAS 12 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1 , 2023 , with early adoption permitted . ii) IAS 1 , Presentation of Financial Statements In January 2020 , the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1 , Presentation of Financial Statements, to clarify one of the requirements under the standard for classifying a liability as non - current in nature . The amendment includes :  Specifying that an entity's right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period;  Clarifying that classification is unaffected by management's intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement; and  Clarifying how lending conditions affect classification; and – Clarifying if the settlement of a liability refers to the transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements prior to the effective date .

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period . On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses . Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgements and estimates . Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions . The most significant estimates relate to the appropriate depreciation rate for property, plant and equipment, the valuation of warrant liability, the recoverability of other receivables, the valuation of deferred income tax amounts, the impairment on mineral properties and deferred exploration and property, plant and equipment and the calculation of share - based payments . The most significant judgements relate to the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities and asset retirement obligations, the determination of the economic viability of a project or mineral property, the date of commencement of commercial production, and the determination of functional currencies . a) Accounting policy judgements The Company made the following critical judgements in applying its accounting policies during the year ended August 31 , 2022 : i) Exploration and evaluation assets and expenditures The application of the Company's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets and expenditures requires judgment to determine whether future economic benefits are likely, from either future exploitation or sale, or whether activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves, and to determine whether indicators of impairment exist including factors such as, the period for which the Company has the right to explore, expected renewals of exploration rights, whether substantive expenditures on further exploration and evaluation of resource properties are budgeted and evaluation of the results of exploration and evaluation activities up to the reporting date . ii) Determination of commercial viability and technical feasibility of the Buckreef Gold Project The application of the Company's accounting policy for mineral property development costs required judgment to determine when technical feasibility and commercial viability of the Buckreef Gold Project was demonstrable . The Company considered the positive NI 43 - 101 compliant Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS") published in 2018 , updated resource in 2020 , the results from the 120 tonnes per day "tpd" oxide processing plant constructed for testing purposes and interim operation of the 360 tpd plant, all of which led to a decision to construct a 1 , 000 + tpd processing plant with an expectation of generating a positive long - term return on the Buckreef Gold Project based on a positive Net Present Value generated from a discounted cash flow model . b) Estimates and assumptions The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for the reporting period .

At the time of the transition from exploration and evaluation to mineral property, plant and equipment, the Company completed an impairment test as required by IFRS 6 . The impairment test compared the carrying amount of the Buckreef Gold Project to its recoverable amount . The recoverable amount is the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal . The Company estimated the recoverable amount using the discounted cash flow model as noted above . The significant assumptions that impacted the resulting fair value include future gold prices, capital cost estimates, operating cost estimates, estimated reserves and resources and the discount rate . Upon completion of the impairment tests, the Company concluded that there was no impairment . 5. Amounts receivable The Company's amounts receivable arise from three main sources : receivables from precious metal sales, receivables due from related parties, harmonized services tax ("HST") and value added tax ("VAT") receivable from government taxation authorities . These are broken down as follows : 2022 2021 Sales tax receivable (1) $4,359 $432 Other 40 28 4,399 460 Less: other long - term asset (1) (4,359) - $40 $460 (1) Sales tax receivables are due from government tax authorities in Canada and Tanzania . During the year ended August 31 , 2022 , the Company reclassified certain VAT balances that were previously capitalised as Exploration and Evaluation assets ("E&E") to Other long - term asset . Tanzania tax regulation has an allowance for VAT receivable to be refunded or set - off against taxes due to the Tanzania Revenue Authority ("TRA") . The Company has experienced delays in receiving payment or confirmation of offset against other taxes, which resulted in the initial capitalization of the VAT amount as E&E . The Company is in communication with TRA and there is an expectation for the offsetting of the VAT receivable against other taxes in the future . The receivable balances which still need to be verified by the TRA have been classified as Other long - term asset . Below is an aged analysis of the Company's amounts receivable: 2022 2021 Less than 1 month $10 $23 1 to 3 months 30 43 Over 3 months - 394 $40 $460 As of August 31 , 2022 , the Company anticipates full recovery of these amounts and therefore no impairment has been recorded against these receivables . The credit risk on the receivables is further discussed in Note 24 . The Company holds no collateral for any receivable amounts outstanding as at August 31 , 2022 .

Inventory Inventory consists of stockpiled ore, gold in - circuit, gold doré and supplies required during the course of exploration, development and production from its operations . IAS 2 requires allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred in converting materials into finished goods . The following is a breakdown of items in inventory : 2022 2021 Stockpiled ore $2,643 $712 In - circuit 210 350 Gold doré 253 - Precious metals inventory 3,106 1,062 Supplies 524 117 $3,630 $1,179 2022 2021 Drilling $250 $200 Insurance 135 54 Equipment rental and deposits 159 - Other 155 78 Subtotal 699 332 Deferred commitment fees (1) 507 - $1,206 $332

Exploration and evaluation assets and expenditures The Company explores or acquires gold or other precious metal concessions through its own efforts or through the efforts of its subsidiaries . All of the Company's concessions are located in Tanzania . Buckreef Gold Project At the time of the transition from exploration and evaluation to mineral property, plant and equipment, the Company completed an impairment test as required by IFRS 6 . The impairment test compared the carrying amount of the Buckreef Gold Project to its recoverable amount . The recoverable amount is the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal . The Company estimated the recoverable amount using the discounted cash flow model . The significant assumptions that impacted the resulting fair value include future gold prices, capital cost estimates, operating cost estimates, estimated reserves and resources and the discount rate . Upon completion of the impairment tests, the Company concluded that there was no impairment . The continuity of expenditures on mineral property is as follows :

Financial instrument related costs and other 23. Management of capital The Company's objective when managing capital is to obtain adequate levels of funding to support its exploration and development activities, to obtain corporate and administrative functions necessary to support organizational functioning, to obtain sufficient funding to further the identification and development of precious metals deposits, and to develop and expand a low cost open - pit gold mine . The Company manages its capital structure based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the exploration and development of mineral properties . The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business . The Company defines capital to include its shareholders' equity . In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and may raise additional amounts as needed . The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so . Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable . There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year ended August 31 , 2022 . The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements . The Company considers its capital to be shareholders' equity, which is comprised of share capital, reserves, and deficit, which as at August 31 , 2022 totaled $48 . 8 million (August 31 , 2021 - $48 . 0 million) . The Company may raise capital, as necessary, to meet its needs and take advantage of perceived opportunities and, therefore, does not have a numeric target for its capital structure . Funds are historically secured through equity capital raised by way of private placements, however, debt and other financing alternatives may be utilized as well . There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue raising equity capital in this manner . The Company invests all capital that is surplus to its immediate operational needs in short term, liquid and highly rated financial instruments, such as cash, and short - term guarantee deposits, all held with major North American financial institutions and North American treasury deposits . 2022 2021 Gain (loss) on derivative warrant liabilities $(2,035) $6,232 Transaction costs on derivative warrant liabilities (293) (665) Transaction costs on convertible debentures - (31) Change in fair value of convertible debentures - (901) Forgiveness of interest on leases - 35 Withholding tax costs - (11) $(2,328) $4,659

Financial instruments Fair value of financial instruments Cash and derivative warrant liabilities are classified as fair value through profit and loss . Amounts payable are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost . Amounts receivable are measured at amortized cost . The carrying value of the Company's cash, amounts receivable, amounts payable approximate their fair value due to the relatively short - term nature of these instruments . Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments . These estimates are subject to and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, therefore cannot be determined with precision . Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates . The Company classifies its financial instruments carried at fair value according to a three - level hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurements . The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows :  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;  Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and  Level 3 – Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data. As of August 31 , 2022 and August 31 , 2021 , cash is recorded at fair value under level 1 within the fair value hierarchy, and derivative warrant liabilities (Note 12) are classified as level 3 . The following table shows the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 3 fair values for derivative warrant liabilities, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used. Type Valuation Technique Key Inputs Derivative warrant liabilities The fair value of the warrant liabilities has been calculated using a Black - Scholes pricing model. Key observable inputs  Share price (August 31, 2022: $0.48, August 31, 2021: $0.41)  Risk - free interest rate (August 31, 2022: 3.32% to 3.44%, August 31, 2021: 0.19% to 0.67%)  Dividend yield (August 31, 2022: 0%, August 31, 2021: 0%) Key unobservable inputs  Expected volatility (August 31, 2022: 55% to 60%, August 31, 2021: 60% to 70%) Sensitivity analysis For the fair values of derivative warrant liabilities, reasonably possible changes to expected volatility, the significant unobservable input, holding other inputs constant would have the following effects: Derivative warrant liabilities August 31, 2022 Comprehensive Loss Increase Decrease Expected volatility (10% movement vs. the model input) $518 $(546)

The Company is subject to credit risk on the cash balances at the bank and accounts and other receivables and the carrying value of those accounts represent the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk . The amounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due from gold sales and government taxation authorities . The Company has not recorded an impairment or allowance for credit risk as at August 31 2022 , or August 31 , 2021 . Liquidity risk The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due . As at August 31 , 2022 , the Company had cash of $8 . 5 million, current assets of $15 . 9 million and current liabilities of $17 . 2 million . Current working capital of the Company is ($1 . 4) million . Within working capital, current liabilities include $6 . 8 million in derivative liabilities which will only be settled by issuing equity of the Company . The Company has identified that further funding may be required for working capital purposes, and to finance the Company's in - fill drilling, exploration program and development of mining assets . Foreign currency risks The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates . The Company has offices in Canada, USA and Tanzania and holds cash mainly in Canadian, Tanzanian and United States currencies . A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the US dollar relative to Canadian dollar and Tanzanian shillings could have an effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows . As at August 31 , 2022 , the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates . As the majority of the transactions of the Company are denominated in US and Tanzanian currencies, movements in the foreign exchange rates may not have a material impact on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) . 25. Segmented information Operating segments At August 31 , 2022 the Company's operations comprise of a single reporting operating segment engaged in mineral exploration and development in Tanzania . The Company's corporate division only earns interest revenue that is considered incidental to the activities of the Company and therefore does not meet the definition of an operating segment as defined in IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' . As the operations comprise a single reporting segment, amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements also represent operating segment amounts . An operating segment is defined as a component of the Company:  that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses;  whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity's chief operating decision maker; and  for which discrete financial information is available.
