Tanzanian Royalty’s head office is in South Surrey, British Columbia, Canada and it trades on the TSX Exchange under the symbol TNX and on the AMEX as TRE. The company operates in Tanzania through two wholly-owned, Tanzanian-registered companies, TANCAN Mining Company Ltd. and Tanzam 2000 Ltd. The Lunguya Project is at an early exploration stage and, as of October 31, 2009, consisted of 11 granted Prospecting Licences plus 6 approved applications covering a total area of approximately 428.79 km².
