Detailed Review by Tanzanian Royalty of Historical Data at Buckreef Project Reveals Significant Drill Hole Assays in Eastern Porphyry Area

27.05.2011  |  Business Wire

Tanzanian Royalty is pleased to report that it has completed a detailed
review of historical drilling programs on its Buckreef Gold Mine
Re-development project in Tanzania.

The review included an analysis of a 10 hole Phase 1 Reverse Circulation
(RC) drill program completed in 2002 on the Eastern Porphyry Prospect by
Ashanti Goldfields.

This drill program was subsequently followed up with a 40 hole Phase 2
drill program conducted by Iamgold Tanzania several years later which
served to confirm the geological potential in the area.

Tanzanian Royalty is now planning a Phase 3 RC drilling program and a
Phase 1 Diamond Drilling program on the Eastern Porphyry Prospect to
establish the strike and down-dip continuity of the mineralization as
part of its effort to generate additional resources of economic interest
on the Buckreef Gold Project.

The table below is a summary of the significant fire assay results from
these two preliminary drilling programs:
