The Company is pleased to report that it has prioritized
exploration targets on its holdings in the Kibara Nickel Belt in
Tanzania following an examination of historical data for the
prospecting licenses.

The Kibara belt hosts the Kabanga nickel deposit (Barrick Gold)
which was discovered by the United Nations Development Program
(UNDP) during the 1970s. The discovery was made following a
comprehensive geochemical and geophysical program that identified a
chain of coincident airborne magnetic and geochemical anomalies
within a 20-30 kilometre wide northeasterly trending belt that
extends for over 200 kilometres from Burundi in the south, through
western Tanzania, to Uganda in the north.

In 2004, the Company recognized that base metal prices were set to
move substantially higher and applied for open ground within the
Kibara nickel belt that was considered to be a favorable host for
magnetic anomalies.

The Company's seven prospecting licenses represents a combined
area of 4,434 square kilometers within the Kibara Fold Belt of
northwestern Tanzania. One of the Company's prospecting licenses is
located within a zone of two parallel magnetic highs that extends
down to the Kabanga Nickel deposit, while another license hosts a 50
kilometre long magnetic anomaly with a geophysical signature of
similar intensity to Kabanga. Moderate nickel-in-soil anomalies are
evident on some of the properties as well.

"Tanzania's nickel potential is world class and the country's
proximity to Asian markets will be a major driver of this segment of
its minerals industry for many years to come," said Jim Sinclair,
Chairman and CEO of Tanzanian Royalty. "The Company's nickel
holdings will account for a major part of our exploration budget in
the years ahead and we are optimistic that our exploration efforts
will produce tangible results for shareholders," he added.
