Title:     Tanzanian Royalty Extends Gold Zones to Depth, Confirms Bulk Mining Potential in Surface Gravels

Tanzanian Royalty is pleased to report that it has received assay results from the multi-phase drill program completed late last year on its Kigosi Project in Tanzania. The program included 3,418 metres of Diamond drilling, 5,974 meters of RC (Reverse Circulation) drilling and 7,688 meters of RAB (Rotary Air Blast) drilling.

The program confirmed depth extensions to drill-targeted veins (reefs) along with open pit potential in near-surface gravels and hard rock vein material. Diamond drilling within the Luhwaika Main Zone and the newly discovered Igunda Zone 2.5 kilometres to the southeast confirmed that each of the zones extend to depth, substantially enhancing the resource potential on the property.

Among the higher grade gold intercepts reported within the Luhwaika Prospect Area were 2.0 metres grading 9.40 g/t (grams per tonne); 2.0 metres averaging 7.06 g/t; 3.0 metres at 6.38 g/t including 1.0 metre averaging 15.96 g/t; 5.0 metres grading 2.93 g/t and 1.0 metre at 10.1 g/t. One 2.0 metre interval in gravel returned 6.64 g/t including 1.0 metre averaging 12.95 g/t. RC drilling of the new Igunda discovery returned some exceptional gold values including 1.0 metre averaging 35.0 g/t; 2.0 metres grading 4.58 g/t; and 2.0 metres averaging 3.27 g/t.

The deepest gold bearing intercept reported to date occurs in hole KG20DD-004 (see table below) at a down hole depth of 291.75 metres or approximately 950 feet.

According to James E. Sinclair, Chairman and CEO, "The depth extensions we have confirmed to date are consistent with deposits found in some of the world's largest gold mining camps. One of our priorities will be to increase the drill hole density in these deeper sections given the extreme range of gold values that can occur in geological environments such as this."

The Diamond drilling phase was designed to test the vertical extent of the Main and Luhwaika West shear zones and any new gold shoots hosted therein to a vertical depth of 250 metres. Three Diamond drill holes were drilled into the Igunda workings to test the depth extent of high grade shoots intersected earlier in the year (refer to Press Release dated Sept 9th 2008).

The RC drilling, which commenced in July 2008, targeted some infill holes on the Luhwaika West and Main zones, as well as new coincident Induced Polarization (IP) and soil anomalies at Luhwaika and the Luhwaika Central areas. In addition, six RC holes were drilled at the Igunda workings. RAB drilling was conducted to test regional soil and IP anomalies at Luhwaika North, Igunda South, and Igunda West areas.

PHASE 7 RC - LUHWAIKA PROSPECT AREA:

Target: Infill drilling on Luhwaika Shear Zones, and IP anomaly at German Workings

Phase 7 RC drilling totalled 3,994 metres in 47 holes. This phase included infill drilling on the Luhwaika Main and West Reefs and drilling of the German Workings some 200 metres to the east. Some of the more significant results appear in the table below:

The above intersections are estimated to be very close to true thicknesses with all the drill inclinations being -60 degrees and the dip of the reef being -22 degrees. All holes are drilled perpendicular to the assumed strike of the reef(s).

PHASE 1 Diamond DRILLING - LUHWAIKA PROSPECT

Target: Test for additional shoots at depth

Four drill fences with between two to four holes on each fence were drilled to test the possibility of more shoots at depth on the Kigosi Main Shear Zone.

The Bateleur shoot appears open ended towards the northwest in KG20DD002 and should be traced out with further Diamond drilling. The twin hole KG20DD012 intersected the Bateleur shoot from 48.95 - 50.79 metres returning a grade of 10.68g/t over 1.84 metres. The RC hole had a grade of 25.25g/t over 3.0 metres.

PHASE 1 RC - IGUNDA PROSPECT

An additional six RC holes were drilled at the Igunda workings as follow-up to positive results obtained late in 2008 (refer to release on 9 Sept 08). The objective of the drilling was to test the grade of the two reefs at depth. Some of the better results from this short program are listed in the following table:

Based on a preliminary interpretation of the down-hole geology and assay results, there appears to be up to three sub-parallel shear zones hosting gold mineralization in and around the Igunda workings. The latest interpretation suggests that the shoots here are steep dipping. Three Diamond drill holes tested this hypothesis on three fences spaced 100 metres apart, and results from this short program are presented below:

Summary

The deep Diamond drilling at Luhwaika indicated that these structures continue at depth, creating new target areas for subsequent evaluation. At Igunda, the deeper Diamond drilling suggests that the gold-bearing structure also continues at depth. The infill RC drilling further confirms the presence and persistence of shallow plunging high grade gold shoots.

The next exploration phase at Kigosi is to validate the results obtained from the initial RC assay results on the sub-surface gravels. As time permits, geological staff will also be allocated to the preparation of a resource report for regulatory authorities.

Analysis

Fire assay with flame AAS finish was conducted by Humac Laboratories in Mwanza. Blanks, Duplicates and Standards were inserted in the sample stream approximately every 20 samples. For the Diamond drilling assays 90% of the standards fall within the acceptable limit, all the blanks were acceptable and the field duplicates returned a 92% correlation. For the RC assays 98% of the standards fall within the acceptable limit, 94% of the blanks were acceptable, and the field duplicates returned a 98 percent correlation after taking out 4 outliers (4% of the samples). For the Diamond drilling the duplicate samples were analysed at ALS Chemex laboratory in Johannesburg, South Africa. The figures used in this press release are the average grades taken for between one and three duplicates run by the labs on each analysis.
