Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation (TSX:TNX)(NYSE MKT:TRX) is pleased to
provide an update on its Gold Mine Development activities at its Buckreef
Re-development Gold Project, located in the Lake Victoria Goldfield of Tanzania.
Construction activities began at Buckreef in December 2013, immediately
following the approval of the project Environmental Impact Study by National
Environmental Management Council (NEMC) with substantial progress to date. 


The civil construction contract was awarded to Yale-Constech Company Limited.
Yale-Constech provides construction and mining services to the mining industry
in Tanzania, including African Barrick Gold at three of its mines in Tanzania.
The civil construction stage of the Project, now underway, is being undertaken
in two phases, as follows:-


Heap Leach Phase 1:- (1) preparation of sketch designs, architectural drawings,
structural drawings and all other detailed plans; (2) obtaining all necessary
permits and approval from Government Authorities or Regulatory and Professional
bodies, (3) earth works, which include construction of the Heap Leach Pad and
Boundary Retaining Wall as per the approved sketch designs and structural
drawings.


Heap Leach Phase 2:- gravel works, installation of pipes and installation of
high-density polythelyene Primary and Secondary Liners as per the approved
sketch designs and structural drawings.


In advance of the commencement of Heap Leach Phase 1 construction, the Company
undertook the following preparatory work: 




--  100 percent of the heap leach pad design work and site layout plan was
    completed and approved by the Contractor Registration Board (CRB). 
--  100 percent of the earthworks related to the bush clearing of the 90,000
    square metre run- of-mine (ROM) pad and 70 percent of the air strip
    rehabilitation were completed; the interconnecting roads, which include
    the haul road, is in progress.  
--  Civil work related to the plant site for the adsorption/desorption gold
    processing plant has been commenced. 
--  The application for a Water Use Permit was submitted to the Lake
    Tanganyika Basin Water Board, which has granted the Company the
    Provisional Water Use Permit while other steps for processing the final
    permits are underway. This provisional permit will allow the Company to
    use the water until the permanent permit is granted. 
--  The removal of the scrap metal, pieces of waste timber and other
    unclassified waste from the demolished old plant site is nearing
    completion. 
--  The contract for the electricity power line to the camp was awarded to
    Agape Enterprises Company Limited. The contractor has mobilized all the
    equipment and the work is in progress. 
--  Tanzanian Royalty also increased the inventory and capacity of its heavy
    earth moving equipment by purchasing two used D6 bulldozers to
    accelerate mine site development.

site, and is expected to be fully operation-capable within a few weeks.


Currently, the project employs 60 people of which 32 people are from local
communities located within a 10km radius of the project. A total of 44,640
