I invite you to review this report keeping in mind two major points:

1. The present area being explored at Kigosi is but a small part of the entire property. Many other prospective areas remain to be followed up.

2. Kigosi is but one of 17 projects we are actively exploring in Tanzania.

I encourage you to review the work we are undertaking to advance our vast holdings in Tanzania.

Repectfully,
James E. Sinclair


Tanzanian Royalty Files Preliminary 43-101 Compliant Technical Report For Kigosi Gold Project in Tanzania

Tanzanian Royalty is pleased to announce that a preliminary National Instrument 43-101 compliant Technical Report has been completed for its Kigosi Gold Project in Tanzania. Kigosi is one of 17 projects the Company now has underway in Tanzania.

Based on the results of this report, the Company intends to proceed with a resource calculation for the Luhwaika and Igunda prospects which have been the focus of exploration activities at Kigosi to date.

Venmyn Rand (Pty) Ltd., an independent consulting firm from South Africa, was awarded the contract for the comprehensive resource report in February of this year. Their report will take into account 519 RC (Reverse Circulation) drill holes, 15 diamond drill holes and will include the following key elements:

• a block model of the grade of gold resources
• volume calculations for gold resources
• a grade tonnage curve for gold resources

The two exploration areas to be addressed in the report, Luhwaika and Igunda, comprise a relatively small portion of the Kigosi property which consists of 39 prospecting licenses and applications covering some 1,092 square kilometres.

Given the broad distribution of gold values at Kigosi and the well-established association of gold deposits with structural features, the Company believes there is a high probability of discovering additional gold deposits on the Kigosi property along major trend lines.

With exploration activities to date focusing on Luhwaika and Igunda along with regional biogeochemistry and soil geochemistry programs, Tanzanian Royalty wishes to emphasize that for the vast majority of the project area no previous exploration activity had taken place prior to the Company securing the prospecting licenses.

Future exploration programs will include aggressive exploration on the mineralized surface gravels at Kigosi plus follow-up work on regional soil and biogeochemistry targets. Any specific exploration work (including drilling) recommended by Venmyn in its 43-101 compliant resource report will be addressed in a timely fashion said the Company's Chairman and CEO, James E. Sinclair.

The evaluation of surface gravels at Kigosi is being undertaken with a view to assessing the potential for low cost open pit production and cash flow which would then be employed to develop the property on a larger scale.

"This was a time-tested practice during the evolution of some of the world's largest gold producers," noted Sinclair, who predicted that "conventional wisdom" was certain to make a comeback after the recent meltdown in global financial markets.

While Tanzanian Royalty's primary business model is that of a royalty company, the Company's immediate plans are to develop Kigosi in-house to optimize its value for shareholders, he said.

The qualified persons who signed the preliminary Technical Report are John Deane, Pr.Sci.Nat President of Tanzanian Royalty and Peter Zizhou, Pr.Sci.Nat Senior Project Geologist Tanzanian Royalty. Mr. Deane and Mr. Zizhou have reviewed and approved this release.

The full technical report will be posted on SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com and on the Tanzanian Royalty website at http://www.TanzanianRoyalty.com .

Respectfully Submitted,

James E. Sinclair
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Tanzanian Royalty and Songshan Mining Co. Ltd. of Inner Mongolia, China Conclude 30-year 3% Royalty Option Agreement on Kabanga Nickel Properties in Tanzania

Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation is pleased to announce the successful conclusion of its efforts to initiate a business relationship in China.

The company has entered into a royalty option agreement with Songshan Mining Co. Ltd. of Duolun, Inner Mongolia, China. Under the agreement, Songshan Mining is granted an option to acquire Tanzanian Royalty's interest in its Kabanga nickel licenses located in northwestern Tanzania, subject to a 30-year 3% net smelter royalty in favour of Tanzanian Royalty. Songshan Mining currently operates two iron mines in Inner Mongolia, China.

"It is our wish to be associated with mining exploration participants that represent the region of significant new primary demand," states Tanzanian Royalty Chairman and CEO, James E. Sinclair. "China is well positioned, in my view, to suffer less and recover first from present world economic conditions. It has a long-term economic plan, and is motivated by the need for resources, not year-to-year price fluctuations, when identifying properties of interest." China and Tanzania have long enjoyed good political and business relations.

The company's Kabanga properties comprise a project area with targets for nickel, cobalt and PGE mineralization. It is in this belt that Barrick's Kabanga project is located. The total land area covered by the company's Kabanga project area is approximately 4,200 square kilometers.

The project area is situated within Proterozoic-age sediments of the Karagwe-Ankolean sequence of NW Tanzania, and is strategically situated to the N of the world class Kabanga Nickel mine, and the Kapalagulu PGE deposit. Principal rock types include metamorphosed sandstones, quartzites, shales, red beds, dolomitic limestones and cherts. The region is tightly folded, with fold axes trending NNE. Individual licenses have been selected proximal to strong aeromagnetic anomalies, believed to be an important stratigraphic control on Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization in the region, and known gabbro/norite bodies.

Of the licenses the company wishes to deal as Royalty Option Agreement, in terms of tenure (land mass) we now have dealt 60% to others. Those licences the company still wishes to deal as Royalty Option Agreement represents 25.4% of our tenure, and those the company wishes to hold for its own account and are advancing represents 14.4% of our tenure, with 0.2% represented by borders.

Respectfully Submitted,

"James Sinclair"
