On completion of the eighth tranche Mr. Sinclair will have satisfied his $3,000,000 current private placement commitment, and his total share placements to date will aggregate $21,064,000.
Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation is pleased to report that, following the completion of the 8th tranche of the current private placement, Mr. Sinclair has confirmed his intention to continue his regular investments in Tanzanian Royalty by entering into a new Private Placement Subscription Agreement with the Company (the "new private placement") under which he will subscribe for common shares of the Company for an aggregate C$3,000,000. Under the new private placement, Mr. Sinclair has agreed to subscribe for eight (8) quarterly tranches of C$375,000 each, commencing February 1, 2009.
Consistent with the current private placement, the pricing of each quarterly tranche will be based on the greater of the weighted average trading price on the Toronto Stock Exchange of the Company's common shares for the last five consecutive trading days of each quarterly period or the closing price on the last trading day of each quarterly period. Also consistent with the current private placement, no warrants, options or other rights are to be issued or granted, the placement common shares will be subject to certain mandated hold periods and resale restrictions and the certificates representing such shares will be legended accordingly.
The 8th tranche of the current private placement and new private placement and each of the quarterly tranches will be subject to regulatory and stock exchange approvals.
According to Mr. Sinclair, "My ongoing market-priced investments in Tanzanian Royalty will ensure the company remains adequately financed while pursuing its objective of becoming one of the world's premium royalty companies with investment income from gold and other mineral producing assets in the Republic of Tanzania."
Tanzanian Royalty Exploration is a unique, publicly-traded, financial minerals exploration company whose business strategy is to develop royalty income under partnership arrangements from its world class gold, diamond and nickel assets in the Lake Victoria Greenstone and Kabanga/Kagera Nickel Belts of Tanzania.
Respectfully Submitted, James E. Sinclair Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
