JV will Accelerate development and Financing of 2 Significant Mineable Gold Deposits. TRX RELIEVED OF RAISING ADDITIONAL FINANCING

3 Project Highlights tal
The combined Buziba / Busolwa Project contains significant National Instrument compliant gold resources now being compiled for inclusion in Pre Feasibility study nearing completion. Integrated project results in significant synergies for Low-cost early Production maximizing shareholder value. Increased gold resource potential from significantly expanded license area and limited depth drilling to date. Only minimal start up cash investment by TRX as Capital Funding to be arranged by Allied. Allows TRX to accelerate and focus resources on development of Buckreef Main and other key Projects in the pipeline Allied to seek funding in early 2014 to conclude Feasibility Study and all project Financing. tal

9 Mineralization Continues at Depth
17 out of 1,134 holes drilled to >150m (around 130m below surface) Deepest drill hole 200m 15 had significant intersections below 120m Drilling and Resource previously limited to around 110m below surface Open at depth PROJECT GROWTH

10 Significant Exploration Upside Near Mine
Assets – Combined Value Drivers Geology Licensing Joint Venture Company 100% Logistics Airstrip, offices, 25 person camp established Further infrastructure development supported by control of surrounding licenses. total area 93km2 Space to mine: total license holding 98km2 Economics Scale: one management team, one camp, one plant Capacity to incorporate into Ausenco Pre-Feasibility Study Due March 2014 Integrated development maximises value Tenure Map Ample Space for Mine 5 km Significant Exploration Upside Near Mine

11 Busolwa / Buziba Cost Advantages
Mining Simple open pit Ore to surface – no pre-stripping Contract mining model Logistics Limited resettlement Area not remote Support industries available locally Limited camp requirement – live in Geita Overheads Dedicated Management focused on costs Metallurgy Low reagent usage High recovery 50% of gold recoverable by gravity Second-hand plant available in Tanzania COMMERCIAL PROJECT

12 Significant depth potential with limited depth drilling to date
2013 Busolwa Drilling Significant depth potential with limited depth drilling to date

Secure – guards currently on site Accommodation for around 25 people Office space Core store Fuel store Airstrip 3 hours’ drive from Mwanza; 45 minutes from Geita Accommodation Geology office Core store

14 Path to a Profitable Gold Mine
Phase 1 – Mine the existing resource and process by Heap-Leach or Carbon-in-Pulp Many of the world’s gold production processed by Heap-Leaches Simple technology, low-cost Allows commercial processing of very low-grade ore Definitive Feasibility Study, financing, construction Gold production end-2015 Fresh core from 2013 drilling Phase 2 – Project growth (Carbon-in-Leach) Higher recovery, higher capex processing Option to finance largely from cash flow Design, cost and evaluate plant Grow Resource Infill drilling Deeper drilling Satellite deposits Definitive Feasibility Study, financing, construction Reprocess leached heaps – no loss of recovery 2013 Metallurgical Drilling ADVANCED GOLD PROJECT - TANZANIA
