News Release
Tanzanian Royalty Announces Convertible Note Financing of US$10 Million
December 9, 2014: Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation (the Company) is pleased to announce that it has closed in escrow the issuance of US$10,000,000 in convertible senior notes and up to 3,642,857 common share purchase warrants to an institutional lender. The facility may be increased to US$15,000,000, subject to financial criteria. Forefront Capital acted as Placement Agent.
The Company will apply the proceeds of this financing to complete the final 10% of construction of the first phase of its Buckreef Gold Mine and to add to its working capital. Mr. James E. Sinclair, CEO of Tanzanian Royalty, stated "In light of the difficult market conditions affecting our industry, we are particularly proud of this financing which will be sufficient to complete the construction of phase I of our Buckreef Project and increase our working capital. We are excited about finalizing our plans for phase II."
"On the heels of our consistently successful drilling activities at Buckreef, this capital will allow TRX keep its development plan on track," commented Joseph K. Kahama, Chairman and Chief Operating Officer (Tanzania). "With the many challenges facing gold companies, this is an opportune time to purchase machinery and hire skilled local workers and contractors."
The notes are issuable at an 8% discount, with an initial funding amount of US$9,200,000. The closing drawdown will be up to US$2,750,000, subject to adjustment downward based on the ratio of $0.85 to the lowest daily volume-weighted average trading price of the shares up to December 24, 2014. Subsequent drawdowns may be made based on meeting certain financial ratios. The notes bear interest at 8% per annum, payable monthly.
The notes are convertible at the option of the lender at 115% of the 5-day volume-weighted average trading price on the NYSE MKT of the Company's common shares as at December 9, 2014. The warrants are exercisable for 5 years at the conversion price, and the lender may also
- A2 -
opt to receive interest in common shares in lieu of cash at that price. The notes mature in 24 months and are prepayable at the option of the Company after 6 months. The lender may redeem 7.5% of principal monthly commencing in March, 2015 payable in cash or shares at the option of the Company (at a price based on 90% of the then-current volume weighted average trading price).
Final closing of the financing out of escrow is subject to the approval of the NYSE MKT and the Toronto Stock Exchange, and to the lender being satisfied that no intervening material adverse change has occurred.
The Company will be filing a registration statement with the SEC in connection with the shares underlying the convertible senior notes and lender warrants.

The qualified person for Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation is Mr. Phillip Kaniki, General Manager, Exploration and Administration. Mr. Kaniki is registered as a Chartered Professional Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy MAusIMM CP (Geo) (Reg.
