Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation (TSX:TNX)(NYSE MKT:TRX) and Allied
Gold Corp. ("AGC") of United Arab Emirates are pleased to announce the signing
of a letter of intent to develop a commercially producing mine in the area known
as Buziba-Busolwa in Tanzania, in a stand-alone development that will encompass
the Buziba site within the Company's Buckreef Gold Project.


Buckreef Gold Company Limited ("BGCL"), a project subsidiary of Tanzanian
Royalty owned 55% by Tanzanian Royalty and 45% by the State Mining Company of
Tanzania ("Stamico"), has signed a letter of intent with ARL Gold Tanzania
Limited ("ARL"), a subsidiary of AGC, to conclude a Definitive Joint Venture
Agreement in connection with a joint venture to be created for the development
of a producing gold mine at Buziba-Busolwa.


Buziba-Busolwa is located in the prolific Lake Victoria Goldfields of northern
Tanzanian within the Rwamagaza Greenstone Belt. Major gold producers in the
region include AngloGold Ashanti's Geita mine (18M oz), the largest gold
producer in Tanzania located 30 kilometres to the northeast of Buckreef, and
African Barrick's Bulyanhulu gold mine (12M oz) which is situated 60 kilometres
to the southeast.


The Buziba-Busolwa Project will combine the Company's resource at its Buziba
site with ARL's adjoining properties, now being reviewed for inclusion in a
pre-feasibility study in progress.


The Company's BGCL joint venture with Stamico will hold a 40% interest in the
Buziba-Busolwa Project, with AGC holding the remaining 60%. James E. Sinclair,
President and CEO of Tanzanian Royalty, stated, "The new joint venture will
allow Tanzanian Royalty to accelerate the simultaneous development of large
portions of the area known as Buckreef."


A recently announced highly successfully drilling program has confirmed the
potential for a standalone mine at Buckreef Main. "Now with the joint venture to
expand and develop Buziba-Busolwa, we have the potential to accelerate
development of 2 large gold mine deposits," added Mr. Sinclair.


Significantly, and in addition to the synergies and expansion value of this
joint venture, Tanzanian Royalty is also relieved of raising additional
financing to bring the Buziba-Busolwa Project to production.
