News Release - November 5, 2010

TANZANIAN ROYALTY COMPLETES $4.8 MILLION PRIVATE PLACEMENT

WITH TWO EUROPEAN INVESTMENT FUNDS

Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation announces that an arm’s length private placement with two European investment funds has closed.  The private placement consisted of an aggregate 800,000 common shares at a price of $6.052 per share, representing the five-day weighted average trading price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the period ended September 21, 2010 less a 15% discount, and an aggregate 200,000 common share purchase warrants exercisable at a price of $7.309 per share.  In addition, the Company has paid a finder’s fee payable in 64,000 common shares at the subscription price of $6.052/share.

The funds will be used for general corporate purposes including the purchase of two modular-type gravity plants for the Company’s Lunguya Gravels Project in the Lake Victoria Greenstone Belt. Rated at 100 tonnes per hour, the plants will include crushers and cyclones as part of the initial process flow sheet.

Tanzanian Royalty is a financial gold company with advanced and early stage gold and base metal exploration projects in The Republic of Tanzania. Among the Company’s key partners in Tanzania is Jinchuan Group, the largest producer of nickel and cobalt in China.

Respectfully Submitted,

 

“Joseph Kahama”

 

Joseph K. Kahama

President
