Material Changes
- Trading Symbol Change: The company received approval to change its NYSE-AMEX trading symbol from TRE to TRX.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing includes standard cautionary notes regarding forward-looking statements and mineral resource terminology.

- Risk Factors: The release references risks inherent in mineral exploration and development that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Detailed risk factors are contained in the company's Form 20-F.

- Review the company's Form 20-F (File No. 001-32500) for financial data and SEC-compliant reserve definitions, as this 6-K contains none.
