News Release -  March 8, 2006

Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation announces name change from

Tan Range Exploration Corporation

Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation (the “Company”) announces that it has changed its legal name from Tan Range Exploration Corporation.  The change was approved by shareholders at the Company’s Annual and Special Meeting held on February 27, 2006 in Toronto and by the Toronto Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange effective today.

“Our new name, Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation, more accurately reflects the Company’s strategy of producing unencumbered royalty income through exploration and investment in gold and other prospective mineral properties in the Republic of Tanzania,” said James E. Sinclair, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

“In the past year, we have made significant progress towards realizing our objective of becoming a royalty company,” he added. “By utilizing our own drilling equipment and crews, we now have the capacity to develop the mineral potential on our holdings in a timely and cost-efficient fashion. And our capacity to discover world-class mineral deposits is further leveraged by royalty agreements we have with Barrick, Ashanti Goldfields and Northern Mining Explorations,”  he said.

The Company will maintain its existing trading symbols on the TSX and AMEX exchanges, those symbols being TNX and TRE. The new CUSIP/ISIN number is 87600U104 / CA 87600U1049. Shareholders are not required to exchange their existing share certificates for new certificates bearing the new Company name and CUSIP/ISIN number.

Respectfully Submitted,

“James E. Sinclair”

James E. Sinclair

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
