Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This news release contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation, including information with

respect to the terms of the letter agreement, the timing and amounts of payments, the expected completion dates for due diligence and approvals,

the structure of the proposed transaction and the listing of the Developer’s common shares on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM. Generally, forward-

looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "expect", "intend", "estimate",

"forecast", "project", "budget", "schedule", "may", "will", "could", "might", "should" or variations of such words or similar words or expressions.

Forward-looking information is based on reasonable assumptions that have been made by East Africa as at the date of such information and is subject

to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of East

Africa to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to risks related to: the

negotiation of a definitive agreement reflecting the anticipated structure and timing outlined herein; delays with respect to required payments and

regulatory approvals; results of the due diligence review; early exploration; the ability of East Africa to identify any other corporate opportunities for

the Company; mineral exploration and development; metal and mineral prices; availability of capital; accuracy of East Africa's projections and

estimates, including the initial mineral resource for the Adyabo, Harvest and Magambazi Projects; interest and exchange rates; competition; stock

price fluctuations; availability of drilling equipment and access; actual results of current exploration activities; government regulation; political or

economic developments; foreign taxation risks; environmental risks; insurance risks; capital expenditures; operating or technical difficulties in

connection with development activities; personnel relations; the speculative nature of strategic metal exploration and development including the risks

of diminishing quantities of grades of reserves; contests over title to properties; and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, as

well as those risk factors set out in East Africa’s management’s discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2015, East Africa’s

listing application dated July 8, 2013 and Tigray Resources Inc. Management Information Circular dated March 28, 2014. Forward-looking statements

are based on assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including but not limited to the terms of the definitive agreement reflecting the

anticipated structure and timing outlined herein; completion of satisfactory due diligence; receipt of all required payments and regulatory approval;

the price of gold, silver, copper and zinc; the demand for gold, silver, copper and zinc; the ability to carry on exploration and development activities;

the timely receipt of any required approvals; the ability to obtain qualified personnel, equipment and services in a timely and cost-efficient manner;

the ability to operate in a safe, efficient and effective manner; and the regulatory framework regarding environmental matters, and such other

assumptions and factors as set out herein. Although East Africa 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 information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from

those anticipated in such information. The Company does not update or revise forward looking information even if new information becomes available

unless legislation requires the Company do so. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information contained herein,

except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
