The common stock issued in the first tranche of the financing, which closed on September 1, 2016, was priced at US$0.6792 per share. The investor also received five-year warrants to purchase 1,840,400 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of US$0.8291 per share.

Overall Performance

As at February 28, 2017, the Company had current assets of $3,337,037, compared to $1,032,319 on August 31, 2016. The increase is mainly due to the cash inflow of $5,589,501 (2016 - $nil) in connection with the proceeds of the private placements, net of issue costs, closed during September 2016. This was offset by outflows in regards to expenditures on exploration of $1,052,375 (2016 - $388,893) and cash used in operations of $2,107,135 (2016 - $1,460,267). Mineral properties and deferred exploration assets were $47,061,774 as at February 28, 2017, compared to $45,802,858 at August 31, 2016.

Net loss for the six month period ended February 28, 2017 was $3,483,598, compared to a net loss of $6,220,074 in the comparable six month period ended February 29, 2016. The main difference in net loss between the two periods is due to the following fluctuations:

An increase in professional fees expense to $515,039 for the six month period ended February 28, 2017, compared to $148,781 for the six month period ended February 29, 2016. Professional fees increased mainly due to various work surrounding the adoption of the stock option plan as well as continuing legal fees from the resolution of the Force Majeure matters.

Higher share based payment expense of $1,044,873 during the six month period ended February 28, 2017, as compared to a recovery of $135,812 during the six month period ended February 29, 2016. The increase is due to the Company adopting a stock option plan during the period and issuing 3,750,000 options (2016 – nil) with a value of $1,049,000 (2016 - $nil) offset by the number of RSU’s forfeited during the current period resulting in a recovery of RSU expense (see note 5 of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six

month periods ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 for details of RSU’s and stock options issued).

A decrease in write offs of mineral properties to $57,656 during the six month period ended February 28, 2017, compared to $3,516,268 during the six month period ended February 29, 2016. See details in note 3 of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 for details.

The remainder of the expenses primarily decreased in comparison to the prior period as the Company looked to be more cost effective as it worked towards securing additional financing and moving its Buckreef project into production. These variances are further discussed below.

Share Capital:

During the six month period ended February 28, 2017, the Company issued 354,137 shares (2016 – 50,000 shares) pursuant to the RSU plan with a value of $482,749 (2016 - $120,500). The Company issued 413,908 (2016 – 184,742) shares with a value of $300,808 (2016 - $74,664) in connection with interest payments related to the bullion loans outstanding. The Company issued 458,329 and 187,321 shares with a value of $288,747 and $131,998 respectively for settlement of various leases and amounts due to related parties, respectively. The Company also completed its private placement financing in September 2016 issuing 7,197,543 shares for proceeds, net of issue costs, of $5,589,501 (2016 - $nil). In the current period, capital was utilized for the Buckreef Gold Project development, property acquisition, exploration, capital equipment purchases and general operating expenses as tabulated below. The remaining funds/cash liquid assets, when available, are invested in interest bearing investments, which are highly liquid.


	C$ (000)
Funds available August 31, 2016	85
Proceeds from private placements, net of issue costs	5,590
Net proceeds (repayments) from loans from related parties	(80)
Mineral property expenditures including licences, environmental and exploration, net of recoveries	(1,052)
General corporate expenses	(2,096)
Funds available February 28, 2017	$2,447

At February 28, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3,498,377 (August 31, 2016 – $11,836,214 working capital deficiency), had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $94,001,902 (August 31, 2016 – $90,600,819) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. The Company will require additional financing in order to conduct its planned work programs on mineral properties, meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its future liabilities as they come due.

Based on the Company’s current funding sources and taking into account the working capital position and capital requirements at February 28, 2017, these factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and is dependent on the Company raising additional debt or equity financing. In September 2016, the Company raised US$5 Million financing (Note 5). The Company must obtain additional funding in order to continue development and construction of the Buckreef Project. The Company presently does not have adequate resources to maintain its core activities for the next fiscal year or sufficient working capital to fund all of its planned activities. The Company is continuing to pursue additional financing to fund the construction of the Buckreef Project and additional projects. However there is no assurance that such additional funding and/or project financing will be obtained or obtained on commercially favourable terms.

Management Discussion and Analysis

February 28, 2017

Additional funding may be derived from revenues generated in the future from anticipated completion and operation of its Buckreef mine currently under development. Management continues to explore alternative financing sources in the form of equity, debt or a combination thereof; however, the current economic uncertainty and financial market volatility make it difficult to predict success. Risk factors potentially influencing the Company’s ability to raise equity or debt financing include: the outcome of the feasibility study at the Buckreef Project, mineral prices, the risk of operating in a foreign country, including, without limitation, risks relating to permitting, and the buoyancy of the credit and equity markets. For a more detailed list of risk factors, refer to the Company’s Form 20-F Annual Report for the year ended August 31, 2016, which is filed on SEDAR as the Company’s Annual Information Form.

Due to the current low interest rate environment and lack of funds, interest income is not expected to be a significant source of income or cash flow. Management intends to monitor spending and assess results on an ongoing basis and will make appropriate changes as required.

TRENDS

There are significant uncertainties regarding the prices of precious and base metals and other minerals and the availability of equity and debt financing for the purposes of mineral exploration and development. The prices of precious and base metals have been subject to extreme volatility over recent periods, as such the Company remains cautious;

The Company’s future performance is largely tied to development of the Buckreef project and other main projects and outcome of future drilling results; and

Current financial markets are likely to be volatile in Canada and the United States for the remainder of the fiscal year, reflecting ongoing concerns about the stability of the global economy. As well, concern about global growth may lead to future drops in the commodity markets. Uncertainty in the credit markets has also led to increased difficulties in borrowing or raising funds. Companies worldwide have been negatively affected by these trends. As a result, the Company may have difficulties raising equity and debt financing for the purposes of base and precious metals exploration and development.

These trends may limit the Company’s ability to discover and develop an economically viable mineral deposit.

Results of Operations

Net additions to mineral properties and deferred exploration costs for the six month period ended February 28, 2017 were $1,316,287 compared to $564,995 for the six month period ended February 29, 2016. The amount has increased as compared with the prior year due in part to $357,203 (2016 - $nil) representing an increase due to foreign exchange in the current period stemming from the change in functional currency from Canadian dollars to US dollars as of September 1, 2016. The increase, net of the effect of foreign exchange, saw increases as the Company recently closed its private placement financing and allocated resources to license fees and other costs to keep properties in good standing and advance them towards production.

Net loss for the six month period ended February 28, 2017 was $3,483,598, compared to a net loss of $6,220,074 for the comparable six month period ended February 29, 2016. For the three month period ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, there was a net loss of $1,464,876 compared to a net loss of $5,057,062, respectively. The main difference in net loss between the comparable periods ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 is mainly due to the variances discussed above.

Variances in the remaining expenditures is set out below:

For the six month period ended February 28, 2017, depreciation expense was $210,991, compared to $240,962 for the six month period ended February 29, 2016. The decrease of $29,971 is due to a lower overall capital assets base as there were no additions during the period and prior fiscal year.

Consulting fees for the six month period ended February 28, 2017 were $338,191, compared to $169,856 in the comparable six month period ended February 29, 2016. Consulting expenses increased during the current period as the Company hired consultants in an effort to advance its Buckreef project. The consultants were hired to advise in regards to the status of the processing plant and any modifications and changes to the operational process, and many were hired in replacement of salaried management and personnel that resigned or were let go during the course of the last year resulting in a decrease in salaries and benefits expenses discussed below. Consulting fees for the three months ended February 28, 2017 were $179,759 compared to $64,129 in the comparable period ended February 29, 2016. The reason for the increase for the three month period is the same as above.

Directors’ fees for the six month period ended February 28, 2017 were $125,547, compared to $162,708 in the comparable six month period ended February 29, 2016. The amount decreased as compared to the same period in the prior year due to director resignations during the year as well as lower RSU expense in the current period, driven by lower stock prices for most of the year. For the three month period ended February 28, 2017, director fees amounted to $40,716 (2016 - $70,324). The reason for the increase for the three month period is the same as above.

Office and general expenses for the six month period ended February 28, 2017 were $95,384, compared to $92,192 in the comparable six month period ended February 29, 2016. Office and general costs consistent with the comparable prior period. For the three month period ended February 28, 2017, office and general expenses were $52,119 compared to $16,822 in the comparable period ended February 29, 2016. The reason for the increase for the three month period is due to the timing of various expenses between the first two quarters in the year as compared to the prior year.

Shareholder information costs for the six month period ended February 28, 2017 increased to $228,176 from $91,188 for the comparable six month period ended February 29, 2016. The amounts increased due to higher spending in the current fiscal year on investor relations as the Company hired new investor relations consultants. For the three month period ended February 28, 2017, shareholder information

costs were $207,695 compared to $61,199 for the three month period ended February 29, 2016. The reason for the increase for the three month period is the same as above.

Professional fees increased by $366,258 for the six month period ended February 28, 2017 to $515,039 from $148,781 for the six month period ended February 29, 2016. Professional fees increased mainly due to various work surrounding the adoption of the stock option plan as well as continuing legal fees from the resolution of the Force Majeure matters. For the three month period ended February 28, 2017 professional fees went from $74,024 for the six month period ended February 29, 2016 to $201,918. The increase is due to the same reason as above.

Salaries and benefits expense decreased to $226,851 for the six month period ended February 28, 2017 from $504,021 for the six month period ended February 29, 2016. Salaries and benefits decreased as the Company moved towards using consultants in the place of salaried employees which carries a lower cost than having salaried employees as well as the Company reducing its workforce wherever possible in an effort to minimize costs. The expenses for the corresponding three month period ending February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 were $116,358 and $284,536 respectively and decreased due to the same reason as above.

Share based payments for the six month period ended February 28, 2017 were $1,044,873, compared to a recovery of $135,812 in the comparable six month period ended February 29, 2016. The increase is due to the Company adopting a stock option plan during the period and issuing 3,750,000 options (2016 – nil) with a value of $1,049,000 (2016 - $nil) offset by the number of RSU’s forfeited during the current period resulting in a recovery of RSU expense (see note 5 of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 for details of RSU’s and stock options issued).

For the six month period ended February 28, 2017, travel and accommodation expense increased by $2,252 from $17,380 in 2016 to $19,632. For the three months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, travel and accommodation expense increased by $1,267 from $4,725 in 2016 to $5,992. Travel and accommodation expense remained consistent in comparison to the comparable period.

For the six month period ended February 28, 2017, the foreign exchange loss was $36,397 compared to an exchange loss of $222,133 for the same six month period ended February 29, 2016. The primary reason is the US Dollar exchange rate increasing from 1.312 at August 31, 2016 to 1.328 at February 28, 2017.

The interest accretion expense for the six month period ended February 28, 2017 was $309,652, compared to $599,810 for the six month period ended February 29, 2016. Interest accretion decreases as loans approach their maturity date.

A loss of $nil (2016 – $127,000 loss) was recognized during the six month period ended February 28, 2017, in connection with the revaluation of the derivative liability. The derivative liability is revalued at every reporting period using the Black-Scholes model. On September 1, 2016, upon the change in functional currency to the U.S. dollar, these derivative liabilities were no longer classified as derivatives and an amount of $108,000 was reclassified to reserve for share based payments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources – Going Concern Discussion

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash balances in order to meet short term business requirements. Because the Company does not currently derive any production revenue from operations, its ability to conduct exploration and development work on its properties is largely based upon its ability to raise capital by equity funding. Previously, the Company obtained funding via private placements, public offering and various sources, including the Company’s former President and CEO who is currently still a director.

Some of the Company’s mineral properties are being acquired over time by way of option payments. It is at the Company’s option as to whether to continue with the acquisition of the mineral properties and to incur these option payments.

Force Majeure:

On February 5, 2016, the Company, through its subsidiary Tanzam provided notice of Force Majeure under its agreement with STAMICO, owned by Tanzanian Treasury. The notice of Force Majeure is based upon the invasion and forced occupation by several hundred illegal miners of the Company’s properties including the South Pit and other areas within the Buckreef site, thereby endangering the Company’s team and preventing Tanzam from continuing its mining operations.

The Company was requested by the Deputy Minister of Energy and Minerals to provide an area of access for artisanal miners within 14 days of notice. The Company identified three potential areas with one to be designated for true artisanal mining, meaning without the use of mechanized mining equipment. Mining would not be allowed below the water table. The Company would also require artisanal miners to operate

February 28, 2017

responsibly in accordance with Tanzanian mining and environmental law, and land and water requirements.

On the 15th day following notice, the occupation by illegal miners occurred as the Company refused to allow access to areas that represent a material portion of the deposit according to the Company’s NI 43-101 technical reports. The Company has communicated to both the Minister and the Deputy Minister, indicating its willingness to provide an area of access to legitimate artisanal miners.

On June 9^th, 2016, Force Majeure was lifted.

Commitments:

In order to maintain the existing site of mining and exploration licenses, the Company is required to pay annual license fees. The Company has not paid its annual license fees since October 2014 with exception of Buckreef mining licenses. As at February 28, 2017 an accrual of $737,000 (August 31, 2016 - $780,000) has been recorded relating to unpaid license fees. Note that these licenses remain in good standing until a letter of demand is received from Ministry of Energy and Minerals requesting payment of any unpaid license fees plus 50% penalty, and the Company fails to respond within 30 days. The Company has not received a letter of demand. The potential penalty relating to unpaid license fees is approximately $427,000 (August 31, 2016 - $390,000). The Company has recorded an accrual for all valid and active mining licenses.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Restricted Stock Unit Plan

The Restricted Stock Unit Plan (RSU Plan) is intended to enhance the Company’s and its affiliates’ abilities to attract and retain highly qualified officers, directors, key employees and other persons, and to motivate such officers, directors, key employees and other persons to serve the Company and its affiliates and to expend maximum effort to improve the business results and earnings of the Company, by providing to such persons an opportunity to acquire or increase a direct proprietary interest in the operations and future success of the Company. To this end, the RSU Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock units (RSUs). Each RSU represents an entitlement to one common share of the Company, upon vesting. As of November 29, 2016, the Board resolved to amend the suspension to 800,000 of the 2,500,000 common shares previously authorized for issuance under the RSU Plan, such that a maximum of 2,500,000 shares shall be authorized for issuance under the RSU Plan, until such suspension may be lifted or further amended. RSU awards may, but need not, be subject to performance incentives to reward attainment of annual or long-term performance goals in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan. Any such performance goals are specified in the award agreement.

Of the 2,500,000 shares authorized for issuance under the Plan, 1,772,999 (August 31, 2016 - 1,418,862) shares have been issued as at February 28, 2017.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Assessment of Recoverability of Mineral Property Costs

The deferred cost of mineral properties and their related development costs are deferred until the properties are placed into production, sold or abandoned. These costs will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the properties following the commencement of production. Cost includes both the cash consideration as well as the fair market value of any securities issued on the acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements or joint ventures, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts at such time as the payments are made. The proceeds from property options granted reduce the cost of the related property and any excess over cost is applied to income The Company’s recorded value of its exploration properties is based on historical costs that expect to be recovered in the future. The Company’s recoverability evaluation is based on market conditions for minerals, underlying mineral resources associated with the properties and future costs that may be required for ultimate realization through mining operations or by sale.

Management Discussion and Analysis

February 28, 2017

Assessment of Recoverability of Deferred Income Tax Assets

The Company follows the balance sheet method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured using substantively enacted tax rates. The effect on the deferred tax liabilities and assets of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that the change occurs. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference and the carry forward of unused credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income tax obligations. This process involves estimating the actual tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. The Company assesses, based on all available evidence, the likelihood that the deferred income tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent that recovery cannot be considered probable, the deferred tax asset is not recognized.

Estimate of Share Based Payments, Warrant Liability, Embedded Derivatives Associated Assumptions

The Company recorded share based payments based on an estimate of the fair value on the grant date of share based payments issued and reviews its foreign currency denominated warrants each period based on their fair value. The accounting required for the warrant liability and the derivative liability embedded in the gold bullion loan requires estimates of interest rate, life of the warrant, stock price volatility and the application of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See note 5 of the February 28, 2017 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for full disclosure.

Critical accounting policies

Mineral Properties

All direct costs related to the acquisition and exploration and development of specific properties are capitalized as incurred. If a property is brought into production, these costs will be amortized against the income generated from the property. If a property is abandoned, sold or impaired, an appropriate charge will be made to the statement of comprehensive loss at the date of such impairment. Discretionary option payments arising on the acquisition of mining properties are only recognized when paid. Amounts received from other parties to earn an interest in the Company's mining properties are applied as a reduction of the mining property and deferred exploration and development costs until all capitalized costs are recovered at which time additional reimbursements are recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss, except for administrative reimbursements which are credited to operations.

Consequential revenue from the sale of metals, extracted during the Company's test mining activities, is recognized on the date the mineral concentrate level is agreed upon by the Company and customer, as this coincides with the transfer of title, the risk of ownership, the determination of the amount due under the terms of settlement contracts the Company has with its customer, and collection is reasonably assured. Revenues from properties earned prior to the commercial production stage are deducted from capitalized costs.

The amounts shown for mining claims and related deferred costs represent costs incurred to date, less amounts expensed or written off, reimbursements and revenue, and do not necessarily reflect present or future values of the particular properties. The recoverability of these costs is dependent upon discovery of economically recoverable reserves and future production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

The Company reviews the carrying value of a mineral exploration property when events or changes in

Management Discussion and Analysis

February 28, 2017

circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of the property exceeds its fair value, the property will be written down to fair value with the provision charged against operations in the year of impairment. An impairment is also recorded when management determines that it will discontinue exploration or development on a property or when exploration rights or permits expire.

Ownership in mineral properties involves certain risks due to the difficulties in determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of many mineral interests. The Company has investigated the ownership of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, ownership of its interests are in good standing.

Capitalized mineral property exploration costs are those directly attributable costs related to the search for, and evaluation of mineral resources that are incurred after the Company has obtained legal rights to explore a mineral property and before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of a mineral reserve are demonstrable. Any costs incurred prior to obtaining the legal right to explore a mineral property are expensed as incurred. Field overhead costs directly related to exploration are capitalized and allocated to mineral properties explored. All other overhead and administration costs are expensed as incurred.

Once an economically viable reserve has been determined for a property and a decision has been made to proceed with development has been approved, acquisition, exploration and development costs previously capitalized to the mineral property are first tested for impairment and then classified as property, plant and equipment under construction.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

At each date of the statement of financial position, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash‐generating unit to which the assets belong.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre‐tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash‐generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash‐generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash‐generating unit) in prior years.

The Company’s most critical accounting estimate relates to the impairment of mineral properties and deferred exploration costs. Management assesses impairment of its exploration prospects quarterly. If an impairment results, the capitalized costs associated with the related project or area of interest are charged to expense.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations, including those associated with the reclamation of mineral properties and property, plant and equipment, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. Initially, a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized at its fair value in the period in which it is incurred. Upon initial recognition of the liability, the corresponding asset retirement obligation is added to the carrying amount of the related asset and the cost is amortized as an expense over the economic life of the asset using either the unit‐of‐production method or the straight‐line method, as appropriate. Following the initial recognition of the asset retirement obligation, the carrying amount of the liability is increased for the passage of time and adjusted for changes to the current market‐based discount rate, amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation.

Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company designated its other financial assets, derivatives in convertible senior notes and warrant liability as fair value through profit and loss, which are measured at fair value. Fair value of other financial assets is determined based on quoted market prices and is categorized as Level 1 measurement. Fair value of warrant liability and derivatives in convertible senior notes are categorized as Level 3 measurement as it is calculated based on unobservable market inputs. Trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Trade and other payables and convertible debt are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. Fair value of trade and other payables and convertible debt are determined from transaction values that are not based on observable market data.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables approximate their fair value due to the relatively short term nature of these instruments.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments. These estimates are subject to and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

A summary of the Company's risk exposures as they relate to financial instruments are reflected below:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is subject to credit risk on the cash balances at the bank and accounts and other receivables and the carrying value of those accounts represent the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term bank investments are with Schedule 1 banks or equivalents. The accounts and other receivables consist of GST/HST and VAT receivable from the various government agencies and amounts due from related parties. The Company has not recorded an impairment or allowance for credit risk as at February 28, 2017, or August 31, 2016.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rate. The Company’s bank accounts earn interest income at variable rates. The bullion loan carries a fixed rate of interest. The Company’s future interest income is

Management Discussion and Analysis

February 28, 2017

exposed to changes in short-term rates. As at February 28, 2017, a 1% increase/decrease in interest rates would decrease/increase net loss for the period by approximately $24,000 (2016 - $1,000).

Liquidity Risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at February 28, 2017, the Company had current assets of $3,337,037 (August 31, 2016 - $1,032,319) and current liabilities of $6,835,414 (August 31, 2016 - $12,868,533). All of the Company’s trade payables and receivables have contractual maturities of less than 90 days and are subject to normal trade terms. Current working capital deficiency of the Company is $3,498,377 (August 31, 2016 - $11,836,214 working capital deficiency). The Company will require additional financing in order to conduct its planned work programs on mineral properties and the development and construction of the Buckreef Project, meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its liabilities as they come due.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company has offices in Canada, USA, and Tanzania, but holds cash mainly in Canadian and United States currencies. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to US dollar and Tanzanian shillings could have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. At February 28, 2017, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. As a majority of the transactions of the Company are denominated in US and Tanzanian Shilling currencies, a 10% movement in the foreign exchange rate will have an impact of approximate $477,000 on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data

As at the date of this MD&A, there were 117,802,912 common shares outstanding, 6,403,301 share purchase warrants outstanding, 861,854 RSUs outstanding, and 3,750,000 stock options outstanding.

Outlook

The Company’s Board of Directors has confirmed the strategic objective of the Corporation is to develop the Buckreef Gold Project as with part of the low cost cash flow generating mine projects including the Kigosi Gold project. The Company is also exploring and evaluating various mineral properties in the portfolio. In addition, management is of the opinion that Itetemia’s Golden Horseshoe Reef (GHR) represents a modest, yet robust, medium-grade, near surface gold deposit that warrants further feasibility investigations. As well, the Luhala property holds modest but low cost gold extraction potential. Management has developed a conceptual production plan whereas Buckreef South Main resource is currently at mine development. This plan is part of a bigger plan aimed at advancing Buckreef (including Main, South, Bingwa and Tembo), Itetemia, Luhala and Kigosi projects through various stages of development into eventual production.

MaSS Resources Consulting Company continued work on updating the Buckreef Feasibility Report, which is nearing completion.

Follow up on the issuance of the Buckreef special mining licence and PL renewal certificates from MEM continued with the assistance from Stamico officials (JV partner on Buckreef Project).

The National Audit Office of Tanzania (NAOT) team led by the Deputy Auditor General and in the company of senior personnel from Stamico audited the Buckreef Project JV working partnership and current status after which Stamico personnel made a presentation to the relevant Parliamentary Committee overseeing all government related JV projects in Tanzania.

License Status

At the end of Q2_2017, the Buckreef Mine project area had 13 PLs and 1 SML covering a surface area of 95.40km2. The Buckreef Project license status and statutory liabilities are as shown in the table below:

[exhibit992006.gif]

Renewal certificates for 7 of the 13 active PLs were received during the quarter. Those highlighted in red are still to be received from the Mining Commissioner’s Office.

Exploration Projects and License Status

Following the Company’s decision to include mine development to its strategy of generating maximum revenue from its extensive portfolio of properties and with the rising costs of maintaining prospecting and other licenses in Tanzania, management decided review, revamp and clean up the TRX PL portfolio with a view to discard certain licenses and/or alternatively farm them out in JV packages.

A detailed in-house geological review reports on each respective project area and its potential for discovery of gold mineralization were reviewed by the Executive Technical team and their recommendations are now being implemented. Four critical target projects were identified as Buckreef/Buziba project, Kigosi project, Itetemia project and Luhala project.

This exercise was necessitated by the need to establish all outstanding, current and future financial liabilities and obligations arising from our total land-holdings. Brief descriptions of PL holdings for each respective project area are summarized below up to 28^th February 2017.

Following the Company’s decision to include mine development to its strategy of generating maximum revenue from its extensive portfolio of properties and with the rising costs of maintaining prospecting and other licences in Tanzania, management decided to drop some licences. Efforts to revamp and clean up our current presentation of the TRX PL portifolio are at an advanced stage.

The technical team that was formed to review the prospectivity of the entire licence portfolio in Tanzania and propose to management licences to be dropped will finalize reviews of the rest of the land holdings in the next reporting quarter as part of our ongoing efforts to revamp the land holdings. This exercise was necessitated by the need to establish all outstanding, current and future financial liabilities and obligations

Disclosure Controls and Procedures (“DC&P”)

Requirements of NI 52-109 include conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of DC&P. Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the DC&P in place as of February 28, 2017 and concluded that such procedures are adequate and effective to ensure accurate and complete disclosures in filings. Any system control over disclosure procedures, particularly for junior exploration companies, no matter how well designed and implemented, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect all inaccuracies. These limitations include limited personnel available for such work, geographical logistics and human error among others. The Board of Directors assess the integrity of the public financial disclosures through the oversight of the Audit Committee.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”)

Requirements of NI 52-109 include conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of ICFR. Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the ICFR in place as of February 28, 2017 and concluded that such procedures are adequate and effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed and implemented, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect all misstatements.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) are responsible for the design and effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) and the design of internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) to provide reasonable assurance that material information related to the Company is made known to the Company’s certifying officers. The Company’s controls are based on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) 2013 framework. The Company’s CEO and the CFO have evaluated the design and effectiveness of the Company’s DC&P as of February 28, 2017 and have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company is made known to them by others within the Company. The CEO and CFO have also evaluated the design and effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR as of February 28, 2017 and concluded that these controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that financial information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner.

During the current period there have been no changes in the Company’s DC&P or ICFR that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Except for statements of historical fact relating to the Company, certain information contained in this MD&A constitutes “forward-looking information” under Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the potential of the Company’s properties; the future prices of base and precious metals; success of exploration activities, cost and timing of future exploration and development; the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources; conclusions of economic evaluations; requirements for additional capital; and other statements relating to the financial and business prospects of the Company. Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects”, or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or “variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may” , “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking information is based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of management made in light of its experience and its perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments at Buckreef or other mining or exploration projects, as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances at the date that such statements are made, and is inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to risks related to: unexpected events and delays during permitting; the possibility that future exploration results will not be consistent with the Company’s expectations; timing and availability of external financing on acceptable terms in light of the current decline in global liquidity and credit availability; uncertainty of inferred mineral resources; future prices of base and precious metals; currency exchange rates; government regulation of mining operations; failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; risks inherent in base and precious metal exploration and development including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected geological formations; and uncertain political and economic environments. Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking information, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
