Financial:

On October 19, 2015, the Company entered into agreements for US $1,000,000 in gold loans.

Under the terms of the loan agreements, the gold loans are for a period of three year, are subject to renewal, and carry an 8% interest rate payable quarterly. The bullion loans may be repaid in cash or common shares of the Company or gold in specified form. If the bullion loans are paid back by bullion, the valuation date for such bullion will the date of the loan agreements. The bullion loans may be converted into common shares of the Company at the sole discretion of the lenders at an exercise price of US$0.308 per share. Interest is payable quarterly, either in cash or in shares at a price of US$0.308 per share. There is no prepayment penalty.

On July 8, 2015, the Company closed US $1,530,000 million dollar "bullion loans”.

Under the terms of the loan agreements, the bullion loans are for a period of one year, are subject to renewal, and carry an 8% interest rate payable quarterly. The bullion loans may be repaid in cash or common shares of the Company or gold in specified form at the option of the lender. If the bullion loans are paid back by bullion, the valuation date for such bullion will be the date of the loan agreements. The bullion loans may be converted into common shares of the Company at the sole discretion of the lenders at an exercise price of US$0.27658 per share. Interest is payable quarterly, either in cash or in shares at a price of US$0.27658 per share at the option of the lender. There is no prepayment penalty.

An 8% finder’s fee was paid through the issuance of 442,548 common shares at a price of $0.40 per share with a value of $177,019.

On March 25, 2015, the Company amended the terms of its convertible senior note financing, the first drawdown from escrow under which successfully closed on December 29, 2014.

Under the original financing terms, notes in the principal amount of US$10,000,000 were issued at an 8% discount, yielding an initial funding amount of US$9,200,000. The initial (closing) drawdown from escrow was US$1,766,558, and the balance of the funded amount (less expenses of issue) was placed in escrow to be available for future drawdowns, subject to the Company meeting certain financial ratios. The notes were to bear interest at 8% per annum, payable monthly.

The outstanding principal at the time of the amendment was US$9,250,000 representing the original USD$10,000,000 less the payment made as part of the lenders “mandatory redemption

option”. The previously escrowed funds were returned to the lender -- under the amended financing, there is no escrow of funds -- and the outstanding principal amount of the notes was reduced to US$1,450,000. Interest at 8% per annum has thereafter been calculated on the reduced principal amount only, effective from March 1, 2015. A maximum of US$300,000 in cash was repayable in April, 2015, pursuant once again to the lender’s "mandatory redemption option."

The reduced amount of outstanding notes remained 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 (being US$0.98). The terms of the 982,143 share purchase warrants issued to the lender on closing are unchanged; they remain exercisable for 5 years at the conversion price, and the lender may also opt to receive interest in common shares in lieu of cash at that price. The maturity of the notes remained 24 months prepayable at the option of the Company 6 months after the original closing. The lender was entitled to resume mandatory redemptions of up to US$750,000 monthly commencing in May, 2015 payable in cash or, subject to registration and certain financial criteria, shares at the option of the Company (at a price based on 90% of the then-current volume weighted average trading price). As noted, the lender opted to redeem the entire outstanding principal in shares and the loan is now fully repaid.

The lender will be entitled to advance up to an additional US$4,000,000 to the Company in exchange for 8% discount notes subject to the same maturity and repayment terms (and entitlement to share purchase warrants) as currently apply, with a conversion price of US$0.98, subject to downward adjustment to US$0.50, from and after September 30, 2015, under certain market conditions. In consideration of the amendments agreed to, the lender received 500,000 common shares of the Company.

As of June 16, 2015, the lender redeemed the remaining outstanding balance into shares, which resulted in the issuance of 5,010,518 common shares with a fair value of $1,958,397 reducing the balance of convertible senior notes to $nil.

On December 29, 2014, the Company closed 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 was increasable to US$15,000,000, subject to financial criteria. Forefront Capital acted as Placement Agent.

The notes were issuable at an 8% discount, with an initial funding amount of US$9,200,000. The initial closing drawdown was US$1,766,588. Subsequent drawdowns were based on meeting certain financial conditions, including the Company achieving net free cash flow of at least US$1,050,000 over a quarterly period . The notes bear interest at 8% per annum, payable monthly.

The notes were convertible at the option of the lender at a price of US$0.98. The 982,143 warrants issued to the lender on closing are exercisable for 5 years at the conversion price of US$0.98, and any warrants issued to the lender in future will be exercisable at 115% of the 5-day volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of the common shares on the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of issue. The lender may also opt to receive interest in common shares in lieu of cash at US $0.98 per share. The notes mature in 24 months and are prepayable in full (if the prepayment amount is funded by new debt) or in part (if the prepayment amount is funded by equity) at the option of the Company after 6 months at a price equal to 107% of the principal being repaid . The lender had the right to 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) , subject to certain conditions, including that the VWAP of the common shares exceeds US$0.60 per share on the payment date and on each of the 20 trading days immediately preceding such date, and that an SEC registration statement is effective for resale of the common shares issuable under the notes .

Operational:

Construction of the 4 Heap Leach solution ponds (Emergency, Barren, Intermediate and Pregnant Ponds) was completed by installation of protective Geo-textile & HDPE membrane liners on the walls and floors of the solution ponds. The material is impervious to solutions and liquids hence protect the surroundings from any poisonous chemical leakages from the ponds. Leakage testing using barren water, however, identified significant outflows that necessitated urgent repairs to the lining in the ILS and PLS ponds and these have since been repaired.

During the quarter, the Company successfully started pilot irrigation of ore on pads #1, #2 & #3 out of the 4 leach pads, marking the continuation of the pilot gold heap leach processing operation at Buckreef Main South Pit. Despite the rampant pooling experienced, leachate solution grades continued to improve positively in the PLS pond during the period and elution trial progressed well.

Construction of the gold room, laboratory and cyanide storage building, including erection of the wall, deck, painting and installation of strong gold room doors and windows were also completed. No further work was conducted on the gold room during the quarter.

The Environmental Impact Assessment Certificate on the Itetemia Gold Project was issued on May 28, 2015 by the Minister of state, Vice-President’s Office – Environment. The Environmental certificate (Registration No. EC/EIS/1811) will remain in force during the whole lifecycle of the Itetemia Gold Project. The Company has since submitted all documentation required for the conversion of the Itetemia PL into a Special Mining License to the relevant authorities in the Ministry of Mines.

Mining at South Pit continued and up to 31^st August 2015, a total of 113,831 tonnes with an average gold grade @ 1.89 g/t Au for 6,913 ounces of gold were extracted from the South pit. The mined ore was stockpiled piled onto the ROMPAD as follows; 36,362 tonnes @4.03 g/t classified as High Grade ore (HG), 3,083 tonnes @2.00g/t classified as Medium Grade ore (MG) and 72,385 tonnes @0.75g/t classified as Low Grade ore (LG).

Truck-stacking of dry oxide/transition ore material from the ROMPAD onto Heap Leach Pads #1, #2 and # 3 was successfully completed in staggered stages during the period January 2015-May 2015. As of 31^st August 2015, Pad#1 holds 20,932 tonnes with an average gold grade @2.29g/t while Pad#2 holds 12,944 tonnes with an average gold grade of 2.78g/t. Pad#3 holds 12,088 tonnes of ore with an average gold grade of 3.64g/t.

DMO, the contractor also successfully installed and commissioned a temporary gold elution boiler-cum-electrowinning unit with a capacity 250kg dry carbon or 450kg wet (Au-loaded) carbon.

In June and July 2015, the Company successfully conducted gold electrowinning (stripping gold from pregnant carbon onto steel wire-wool) in readiness for the final smelting process to produce gold dore. As of 31^st August 2015, the Company had 7.014kg (226 ounces) of gold in steel wire-wool ready for the first smelt at Buckreef Gold Project.

The Buckreef Aerodrome License was issued on August 28, 2015 by the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority. The license (Registration No. 053-15/17) will be subject for renewal after the 21^st August 2017.

Overall Performance

As at August 31, 2015, the Company had current assets of $1,552,416 compared to $2,614,572 on August 31, 2014. The decrease is mainly due to net expenditures on exploration of $3,331,566 (2014 - $2,329,901), additions to property, plant and equipment of $668,005 (2014 - $2,412,541) primarily in connection with the construction of the processing plant, and cash used in operations of $901,062 (2014 - $3,485,590) offset by proceeds from the sales-leasebacks of $496,559 (2014 - $nil) net of lease payments and the net proceeds from the convertible senior note financing of $684,979 (2014 - $nil) and gold bullion loan financing of $1,852,036 (2014 - $nil). Mineral properties and deferred exploration assets were $48,150,191 as compared to $47,052,468 at August 31, 2014.

Net loss for the year ended August 31, 2015 was $8,995,697 compared to a net loss of $2,416,265 in the comparable year ended August 31, 2014. The main difference in net loss between the two periods is due to the following fluctuations:

Lower share based payment expense of $506,747 during the year ended August 31, 2015 as compared to $1,106,517 during the year ended August 31, 2014 due to the number of RSU’s issued and the lower Company share price, see note 8 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 for details of RSU’s issued,

A lower gain from the revaluation of warrant liability during the year ended August 31, 2015 of $324,000, compared to a gain of $3,524,000 in 2014,

A gain on the revaluation of derivative liability of $150,000 compared to $nil in 2014.

An increase in write offs of mineral properties of $2,233,843 during the year ended August 31, 2015 compared to $1,209,640 in 2014

Interest accretion of $738,134 in connection with the convertible senior note financing that was closed in December 2014 as well as the gold bullion loans financings closed in June 2015, which were not present in the comparable year ended August 31, 2014.

Finance costs of $196,525 compared to $nil in the comparable period, which represents interest in connection with the convertible senior note financing that closed in December 2014 as well as interest on the gold loan bullion loans, which were not present in the comparable year ended August 31, 2014.

A loss on the amendment of the convertible senior note financing resulting from the amendment of the terms of the financing on March 25, 2015, as described above, which resulted in a loss of $2,034,406 (2014 - $nil) for the year ended August 31, 2015.

A loss on redemption of the convertible senior note financing resulting from the redemption option held by the lender in connection with the terms of the convertible senior note financing, which resulted in a loss of $174,041 (2014 - $nil) for the year ended August 31, 2015.

A loss on sale of gold bullion resulting from the sale of the gold received in connection with the terms of the gold bullion loan resulted in a loss of $184,810 (2014 - $nil) for the year ended August 31, 2015.

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.

During the year ended August 31, 2015, the Company issued 174,608 shares (2014 – 320,893 shares) pursuant to the RSU plan with a value of $729,778 (2014 - $1,354,238). The Company issued 400,000 (2014 – nil) shares with a value of $264,000 (2014 - $nil) in connection with a finder’s fee related to the convertible senior note financing completed in December 2014. The Company issued 500,000 (2014 – nil) shares with a value of $250,000 (2014 - $nil) in connection with the March 25, 2015 amendment to the terms of the convertible senior note financing that was originally completed in December 2014. The Company issued 442,548 (2014 – nil) shares with a value of $177,019 (2014 - $nil) in connection with a finder’s fee related to the bullion loans completed in the year. The Company also issued 5,010,518 (2014

– nil) shares with a value of $1,958,397 (2014 - $nil) in connection with redemptions by the lender pursuant to the redemption option held by the lender in connection with the terms of the convertible senior note financing. In the current year, 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 are invested in interest bearing investments, which are highly liquid.

At August 31, 2015 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $4,684,253 (August 31, 2014 – $1,325,667 positive working capital), had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $77,970,955 (August 31, 2014 – $69,095,649) 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 August 31, 2015, 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. The Company must obtain additional funding in order to continue development and construction of the Buckreef Project. 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. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustment which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Additional funding may be derived from revenues generated in the future from anticipated completion and operation of its heap leach 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 Amended Form 20-F Annual Report for the year ended August 31, 2014, 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 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 year ended August 31, 2015 were $3,331,566, compared to $2,329,901 for the year ended August 31, 2014. The amount has increased as compared with the prior year as the Company has allocated resources on mining of the Buckreef property, as well as a significant cost addition due to the recognition of the asset retirement obligation in the current year of $680,000 as at August 31, 2015 (August 31, 2014 - $nil). The Company also incurred property, plant and equipment additions of $665,099 (2014 - $2,412,541) on construction of the heap leach and processing plant. Exploration activities have reduced as the Company advances its Buckreef project towards the commencement of production and continues exploration work on other projects in its portfolio and at the same time is conscious about conserving its cash in the current economic downturn.

Net loss for the year ended August 31, 2015 was $8,995,697, compared to a net loss of $2,416,265 for the comparable year ended August 31, 2014. For the three month period ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, there was a net loss of $2,030,188 compared to a loss of $1,649,399, respectively.

Management Discussion and Analysis

August 31, 2015

The main difference in net loss between the comparable years for the year ended August 31, 2015 is mainly due to the variances discussed above. For the three month period ended August 31, 2015 net loss remained consistent between the two years.

Variances in the remaining expenditures is set out below:

For the year ended August 31, 2015, depreciation expense was $384,708, compared to $258,068 for the year ended August 31, 2014. The increase of $126,640 is due to additions to property, plant and equipment over the last quarter of the prior fiscal year resulting in higher amounts of depreciation on overall capital assets. The capital expenditure for the year ended August 31, 2015 was $665,099 as compared to $2,412,541 in the year ended August 31, 2014. The increase in capital expenditures over historical amounts commencing from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 is due to construction of the heap leach pads and processing plant. The processing plant is currently not yet being depreciated as it is currently still under testing and commissioning.

Consulting fees for the year ended August 31, 2015 were $246,147, compared to $225,914 in the comparable year ended August 31, 2014. Consulting expenses remained fairly consistent during the current period as the Company decreased its employee base and hired consultants in their place to be more cost efficient. The increase in consulting fees is offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits as discussed below. This increase was offset by a decrease in consulting fees as the Company looked to reduce costs wherever possible due to the current economic condition. Consulting fees for the three months ended August 31, 2015 were $98,337 compared to $173,933 in the comparable period ended August 31, 2014. The decrease in the expense for the three month period is due to the same cost cutting measures as described above.

Directors’ fees for the year ended August 31, 2015 were $367,524, compared to $376,434 in the comparable year ended August 31, 2014. For the three month period ended year ended August 31, 2014, director fees amounted to $129,702 (2014 - $89,445). Director fees remained consistent between the two periods. See note 8 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 for details on RSU’s granted.

Office and general expenses for the year ended August 31, 2015 were $326,088, compared to $380,631 in the comparable year ended August 31, 2014. Office and general costs decreased between the comparable periods due to cost reduction measures across all areas of the Company in light of the current economic conditions and resources available to the Company. For the three month period ended August 31, 2015, office and general expenses were $128,983, compared to $107,655 in the comparable period ended August 31, 2014. Office and general expenses remained consistent between the two periods.

Shareholder information costs for the year ended August 31, 2015 increased to $361,265 from $265,421 for the comparable year ended August 31, 2014. The increase is due to additional reporting requirements in connection with the various financings and operational updates in the current year. For the three month period ended August 31, 2015, shareholder information costs were $17,167 compared to $18,202 for the three month period ended August 31, 2014. Shareholder information costs for the three month period were consistent with the prior year.

Professional fees increased by $156,689 for the year ended August 31, 2015 to $680,048 from $523,359 for the year ended August 31, 2014. Professional fees were higher during the current quarter as the Company deals with tax litigation in Tanzania, increased accounting costs surrounding various financing transactions during the year and various business consulting fees on strategy regarding future financings, and other matters as it approaches initial production on its Buckreef project. For the three month period ended August 31, 2015 professional fees went from $145,803 for the three month period ended August 31, 2014 to $244,297. The increase is due to the same reasons above.

Management Discussion and Analysis

August 31, 2015

Salaries and benefits expense decreased to $1,053,364 for the year ended August 31, 2015 from $1,304,895 for the year ended August 31, 2014. Salaries and benefits decreased as the former CFO left the Company and the new CFO came in at lower rates as well as the Company using consultants in the place of salaried employees which carries a lower cost than having salaried employees.

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 President and CEO.

As of August 31, 2015, the Company’s working capital position was a negative working capital of $4,684,253 (August 31, 2014 – $1,325,667 positive working capital). As the Company’s mineral properties advance, additional equity and debt financing will be required to fund exploration and mining activities. Additional funding may be derived from revenues generated in the future from anticipated completion and operation of its heap leach mine currently under development.

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.

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 2015 with

exception of Buckreef mining licenses. As at August 31, 2015 an accrual of $463,390 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 around $75,000. No accrual has been made on the basis that there is no current legal obligation to pay this.

In addition to the property payments committed to by the Company to maintain options in certain prospecting and mining option agreements (note 4 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014), the Company is committed to rental payments of approximately $27,199 as at August 31, 2015 (August 31, 2014 - $nil) for premises in fiscal 2015.

The Company also entered into a commitment with DMO Technological Services Ltd. of Zimbabwe for the purchase of a carbon in column plant in connection with the heap leach operations at Buckreef with remaining commitments in the amount of USD $nil (August 31, 2014 - USD$582,240).

Convertible Debt

On October 4, 2010 the Company completed a private placement with arm’s length third parties consisting of three-year convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,060,000 bearing interest at 3% and convertible into 204,772 common shares at the price of $5.1765 per share. On September 14, 2013 the promissory notes matured and the Holders elected repayment of the promissory notes in cash. Accordingly $1,060,000 plus interest in the amount of $30,000 was paid on September 16, 2013.

Convertible senior note

Initial issuance:

On December 29, 2014, the Company closed out of escrow the issuance of US$10,000,000 in convertible senior notes to an institutional lender. The facility may be increased to US$15,000,000, subject to financial criteria.

The notes were issued at an 8% discount, with an initial funding amount of US$9,200,000. The notes are convertible at the option of the lender at a price of US$0.98. The notes bear interest at 8% per annum, payable monthly. The lender may opt to receive interest in common shares in lieu of cash at US$0.98 per share . The notes mature in 24 months and are prepayable in full (if the prepayment amount is funded by new debt) or in part (if the prepayment amount is funded by equity) at the option of the Company after 6 months at a price equal to 107% of the principal being repaid . 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) , subject to certain conditions, including that the volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of the common shares exceeds US$0.60 per share on the payment date and on each of the 20 trading days immediately preceding such date, and that an SEC registration statement is effective for resale of the common shares issuable under the notes .

The initial closing drawdown was US$1,766,588. Subsequent drawdowns may be made based on meeting certain financial conditions, including the Company achieving net free cash flow of at least US$1,050,000 over a quarterly period . As at February 28, 2015, the Company had not achieved the financial conditions, as such, the cash held in escrow is restricted and unavailable to the Company for use. As at February 28, 2015, the Company repaid USD$750,000.

Management Discussion and Analysis

August 31, 2015

On closing, 982,143 warrants were issued to the lender which are exercisable for 5 years at the conversion price of US$0.98. Any warrants issued to the lender in the future will be exercisable at 115% of the 5-day VWAP of the common shares on the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of issue.

The Company incurred $435,174 in direct expenditures relating to securing this financing. In addition, 400,000 shares and 400,000 warrants were issued as finders fees (Note 8). The 400,000 warrants are exercisable for 2 years at the conversion price of US$0.98.These costs have been recorded as transaction costs against the convertible senior notes to be amortized over the life of the notes.

Amendment to initial issuance:

On March 25, 2015, the Company amended the terms of its convertible senior note financing, the first drawdown under which successfully closed on December 29, 2014.

The outstanding principal at the time of the amendment was US$9,250,000 representing the original USD$10,000,000 less the payment made as part of the lenders “mandatory redemption option”. The previously escrowed funds were returned to the lender. Under the amended financing, there is no escrow of funds and the outstanding principal amount of the notes was reduced to US$1,450,000. Interest at 8% per annum is calculated on the reduced principal amount only, effective from March 1, 2015. A maximum of US$300,000 in cash will be repayable in April, 2015, pursuant once again to the lender’s "mandatory redemption option."

The reduced amount of outstanding notes remain 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 (being US0.98). The terms of the 982,143 share purchase warrants issued to the lender on closing are unchanged; they remain exercisable for 5 years at the conversion price, and the lender may also 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 6 months after the original closing. The lender may resume mandatory redemptions of up to US$750,000 monthly commencing in May, 2015 payable in cash or, subject to registration and certain financial criteria, shares at the option of the Company (at a price based on 90% of the then-current volume weighted average trading price).

21.

Convertible senior note (continued)

The lender will be entitled to advance up to an additional US$4,000,000 to the Company in exchange for 8% discount notes subject to the same maturity and repayment terms (and entitlement to share purchase warrants) as currently apply, with a conversion price of US$0.98, subject to downward adjustment to $0.50, from and after September 30, 2015, under certain market conditions. In consideration of the amendments agreed to, the lender will receive 500,000 common shares of the Company.

Derivative in convertible senior notes:

The conversion option is considered an embedded derivative as it is denominated in USD whereas the Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The feature is classified as a current liability on the statement of financial position and is carried at fair value as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with changes in fair value recorded as gains or losses in the statement of comprehensive loss.

The assumptions in valuing the embedded derivative on issuance at December 9, 2014 include an expected volatility of 74%, a risk free interest rate of 0.72% and an expected life of 2 years resulting in a fair value on issuance of $3,359,000. As at August 31, 2015, the derivative in the convertible note is valued at $nil (August 31, 2014 - $nil), as the balance of the convertible notes was converted into shares.

Interest expense related to the Debentures amounted to $172,700 (2014 - $nil), as at August 31, 2015 and is recorded as finance charge in the statement of comprehensive loss. Accretion expense during the year ended August 31, 2015 totaled $540,980 (2014 - $nil). All interest payments have been paid as of August 31, 2015.

During the year ended August 31, 2015, the lender redeemed $1,784,356 of convertible senior notes which was paid in shares, which resulted in the issuance of 5,010,518 common shares with a fair value of $1,958,397. The resulting loss on redemption of convertible senior notes of $174,041 (2014 - $nil) is reflected as a loss for the year ended August 31, 2015.

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 9, 2012, the Board resolved to suspend 1,500,000 of the 2,500,000 common shares previously authorized for issuance under the RSU Plan, such that a maximum of 1,000,000 shares shall be authorized for issuance under the RSU Plan, until such suspension may be lifted or further amended. As of January 9, 2014, the Board further resolved to amend the suspension to 1,200,000 of the 2,500,000 common shares previously authorized for issuance under the RSU Plan, such that a maximum of 1,300,000 shares shall be authorized for issuance under the RSU Plan, until such suspension may be lifted or further amended.

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

Management Discussion and Analysis

August 31, 2015

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.

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 8 and 24 of the August 31, 2015 audited 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.

Management Discussion and Analysis

August 31, 2015

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 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. During the year ended August 31, 2015, the Company wrote off $2,233,843 of costs related to its mineral properties (2014 – $1,209,640). Management assesses impairment of its

Management Discussion and Analysis

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, its short-term bank investments and accounts and other receivables. 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 receivable from the Canada Revenue Agency, Tanzanian Revenue Authority and amounts due from related parties.

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 Company’s future interest income is exposed to changes in short-term rates. As at

Management Discussion and Analysis

August 31, 2015

August 31, 2015, a 1% increase/decrease in interest rates would decrease/increase net loss for the period by approximately $7,000 (2014 - $18,000).

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 August 31, 2015, the Company had current assets of $1,552,416 (August 31, 2014 - $2,614,572) and current liabilities of $6,236,669 (August 31, 2014 - $1,288,905). 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 $4,684,253 (August 31, 2014 - $1,325,667 working capital).

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 August 31, 2015, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. As a majority of the funds of the Company are held in Canadian currencies, the foreign currency risk associated with US dollar and Tanzanian Shilling financial instruments is not considered significant at August 31, 2015.

Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data

As at the date of this MD&A, there were 108,015,101 common shares outstanding, 1,382,143 share purchase warrants outstanding, and 1,671,722 RSUs 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 and Lunguya properties hold modest but low cost gold extraction potential. Management has developed a conceptual production plan whereas Buckreef South Main resource is currently at mine development including the construction of low cost heap leach plant. 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.

Buckreef Project

Mine Development and Operations

Progress

The Buckreef Project is located in the Geita District of the Geita Region south of Lake Victoria, some 110km southwest of the city of Mwanza (see Figure, overleaf). The project area can be accessed by ferry across Smiths Sound, via tarred national road and thereafter via unpaved but well-maintained gravel roads. The Project comprises five prospects namely Buckreef, Bingwa, Tembo, Eastern Porphyry and Buziba. The Buckreef prospect encompasses three ore zones namely Buckreef South, Buckreef Main and Buckreef North.

The Project is fully-licensed for mining and extraction of gold. The pilot Heap Leach gold extraction plant is 85% completed. The oxide/transition ore component from the Buckreef Prospect is one among other gold prospects including Bingwa and Tembo in the pipe line to generate cash flow in the short term to fund the development, mining and extraction of the main sulphide ore component for the entire Buckreef Project.

The following work was completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015:

Pilot pre-production open-cut mine development targeted oxide & transition ore on the Buckreef South Prospect continued during the reporting quarter. The initial pit design covers a deposit strike length of 300m with a proved reserve of 206,551 tonnes grading @ 1.54g/t with 10,225ozs total contained Au. Up to 31^st August 2015, a total of 113,831 tonnes with an average gold grade @ 1.89 g/t Au for 6,913 ounces of gold were extracted from the Buckreef South pit. The mined ore was stockpiled piled onto the ROMPAD as follows; 36,362 tonnes @4.03 g/t classified as High Grade ore (HG), 3,083 tonnes @2.00g/t classified as Medium Grade ore (MG) and 72,385 tonnes @0.75g/t classified as Low Grade ore (LG).

As the first stage of gold recovery, the Company continued cyanide heap leaching of the oxide ores stacked on 3 of 4 active heap leach pads at Buckreef gold mine. The total ore stockpile at Pad #1 as of 31^st August 2015, is 20,932 tonnes with an average gold grade @2.29g/t while Pad#2 holds 12,944 tonnes with an average gold grade of 2.78g/t. Pad#3 holds 12,088 tonnes of ore with an average gold grade of 3.64g/t.

Despite the inhibited percolation and permeability experienced due to the high (20-30%) clay content in the saprolitic oxide/transition ore stacked on the heap leach pads, the Company managed to generate, collect, store and process the gold rich (pregnant) solution using a simple Carbon-in-Column process plant. As of 31^st August 2015, Company successfully electrowinned (stripping gold from pregnant carbon onto steel wire-wool), 7.014kg (226 ounces) of gold that is now ready for the first smelt at Buckreef Gold Project.

The Company contracted an Environmental Specialist to work on the Buckreef Environmental Management Plan. This specialist will assist the company to formulate an Environmental Management Plan that seeks to identify, manage and mitigate the impact to the environment, health and safety due to exploration, mine development and mining activities being undertaken.

Exploration Projects

Itetemia Project

The Itetemia gold deposit includes the Mineral Resources of the Golden Horseshoe Reef (“GHR”), and is an advanced stage exploration project focusing on the development of the GHR. A total of 9,833m of diamond core drilling (51 holes) and 8,339m of RC drilling (138 holes) was completed on the project. Modeling and processing of assay results from both the core drilling and RC drilling so far completed over the GHR and surrounding areas culminated in the estimation of the following Mineral Resources by CSA Australia Pty (Ltd) (“CSA”). The gold resource numbers for the GHR are as at 8th March 2011 using a cut-off grade of 1.0g/t:-


DOMAIN	CLASSIFICATION	VOLUME (m³)	TONNES (t)	GRADE (g/t)	OUNCES oz

The main activity completed for the Itetemia project is the feasibility study works (final metallurgical testwork, process engineering designs, etc.) undertaken by MaSS Resources company.

The Itetemia Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) document which was submitted to the National Environment Management Council (NEMC) in the previous quarter was approved towards the end of the third quarter and awaits collection. With the approval of the Itetemia Gold Project EIS we can now proceed with the processes of applying apply for a mining licence on the project.

At the end of this quarter Itetemia project area had 12 PLs covering a surface area of 55.47 square kilometers.

Kigosi Project

Kigosi Project area remains subject to a Game Reserve Declaration Order. Upon repeal or amendment of that order by the Tanzanian Government, the Kigosi Mining Company will be legally entitled to exercise its rights under the Mineral Rights and Mining Licence. The procedures for de-gazetting the Kigosi mining licence project area from a game reserve area to a mining area on the government gazette has not been completed by government of Tanzania.

There were no developments on the Kigosi mining area degazetting process during the third quarter to allow mine development on the idling Kigosi Mining Licence. The gold resource numbers for the Kigosi Project are, as at 1^st September 2009 using a cut-off grade of 0.5g/t:-

The project has remained with 26 PLs and 1 mining license covering a surface area of 412.19 square kilometers.

Luhala Project

The Luhala Project is an advanced stage exploration project focusing on the development of the Luhala gold deposit which consists of five anomalous hilltops. The mineralization is stratabound shear-zone hosted gold mineralization (stratigraphic and structural control) within a distinct unit of felsic rocks with associated ferruginized mafic and felsic rocks.

Drilling at the Luhala Project has been concentrated on the Luhala Hills (Luhala Hill, Kisunge Hill, Shilalo Hill South and Shilalo Hill West). A total of 3,279m of diamond core drilling (26 holes) and 8,665m of RC drilling (144 holes) was completed on the project. Modeling and processing of assay results from both the core drilling and RC drilling conducted over the various deposits at Luhala, has to-date resulted in the estimation, by CSA, of the following Mineral Resources for Luhala as at 8th March 2011 using a cut-off grade of 1.0g/t:

Rounding results in computational discrepancies

The process of selecting a consultant to carry out feasibility study at the Luhala gold project has been completed and once funds are available the contract to engage the consultant to carry out the study will be signed to initiate the FS study works.

The project has remained with 5 PLs covering a surface area of 34.18 square kilometers.

Lunguya Project

The Lunguya gold project is situated on a major NW-SE regional shear zone which extend north into Barrick’s Bulyanhulu gold mine (>10M oz). Gold mineralization has been identified in a series of planar, brittle-ductile strain zones which form gold mineralized fault-fill shear hosted veins. The Lunguya concession area overlies the contacts between sequences of lower Nyanzian mafic volcanic rocks which are cut by well foliated syn-orogenic granites. Shear zones hosting the auriferous quartz veins range in widths from less than 1.0 to greater than 8.0 m.

Veins identified at Lunguya (Nyamakwenge & Nyikoboko Reefs) strike 030° to 040° and dip modestly northwest (25° - 45°). The reefs commonly have well developed chlorite-sericite alteration mineralogy along their footwall, and sometimes, hangingwall contacts. Gold is present as coarse, visibly identifiable, grains commonly associated with hematitic fractures. Highest gold grades are frequently noted forming towards the footwall contact of the Nyamakwenge Reefs with the enclosing granodiorites.

A reconnaissance exploration drilling program comprising 81RC drill-holes totalling 1,504m probing both a residual gravel deposit and the Nyamakwenge reef system was successfully completed. A follow-up 19-hole 1,331m diamond drilling program confirmed that the Nyamakwenge and Nyikoboko reefs comprise single persistent veins, with respective strike lengths of approximately 475m and 110m. Excellent structural continuity of the veins has been demonstrated but continuity of gold grades is the subject of future exploration programs.

Gold grades within the Nyamakwenge reef range from less than 1.0 g/t to > 40 g/t over variable widths (< 0.3-2.75 m) while gold grades within the Nyikoboko reef range from < 0.2 g/t Au to 7.06 g/t Au over narrow, 0.3 m widths, and the chlorite-sericite envelope noted in the hanging-wall and footwall to the main veins are absent. Gold in these shear zones thus associated with narrow shear-foliated quartz veins in sheared contacts between basalts and granites. Potential for the discovery of an economic resource from Lunguya can be inferred from active small scale mining activities which are contiguous with Lunguya.

Based on the exploration work so far completed at Lunguya, no definitive 43-101 compliant mineral resource statement has been complied. The project has remained with 7 PLs covering a surface area of 90.23 square kilometers.

Management Discussion and Analysis

August 31, 2015

Exploration Projects

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. A technical team was formed to review the prospectivity of the entire licence portfolio in Tanzania and propose to management licences to be dropped. Thirty eight (38) licences were proposed to be retained as were believed to be on prospective areas for gold mineralization.

The projects with licences on advanced development stage include Buckreef with one mining licence with five prospects namely Buckreef main, Eastern Porphyry, Bingwa, Tembo and Buziba; Kigosi with one mining licence with two prospects, namely Luhwaika and Igunda Itetemia with advanced Golden Horseshoe Reef (GHR) prospect awaiting mining licence application and Luhala project with advanced drill prospects including Luhala, Shilalo and Kisunge prospects, awaiting feasibility study completion.
