Vancouver, Nov. 16, 2023 - Tembo Gold Corp. (TSXV: TEM) (FSE: T23A) ("Tembo" or the "Company") is pleased to report that Bulyanhulu Gold Mine Limited ("Buly"), a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corp. ("Barrick"), has provided the Company with a report on work completed on the six non-core licenses sold to Buly through the Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) signed on December 7, 2021 between Mineral Industry Promotion and Consulting Company Limited ("MIP") a Tembo Gold Corp subsidiary), Tembo Gold Corp, Bulyanhulu Gold Mine Limited, and Barrick Gold Corp.. Fieldwork has been progressed and the following results have been reported to date.

Highlights

  • Initial work conducted included reconnaissance mapping, detailed regolith analysis, and data integration relevant to the greenstone inlier, resulting in an update of the camp scale geological model.
  • Targets were identified along structural trends in favourable host lithologies, and these were prioritized for follow up.
  • Drilling has been planned to advance blind satellite opportunities beneath alluvial cover.
  • 230-line km of Gradient Array Induced Polarization (GAIP) and 18.85km of Dipole-Dipole Induced Polarization (DPDP) were conducted during Q4 2022, with the geological and structural setting assessed from the results.
  • This work has highlighted the high-grade potential of the area, supported by results of sampling of quartz veins returning values of 39.5g/t Au and 38.7g/t Au, in addition to lower grade samples 1.5g/t and <0.4g/t.
  • The geological team has visited the Tembo camp and core yard, reviewing Tembo's 2022 core drilling and various locations within the Tembo license to assist their targeting within Buly's license area.
  • A single diamond drill borehole of 251.50m was completed in one area of interest to confirm the geological structure, returning no significant results.
  • Recent activity has included a broad spaced Aircore drilling program (50m borehole interval along 400m spaced lines) through mbuga filled valleys to establish the geochemical and geological framework beneath this cover.
  • 57 drill holes totaling 1479m were completed in Q3 of 2023, and the program is approximately 15% complete.
  • Completion of this drilling will depend on the onset of the rainy season in Q4.
  • Expenditure to date is US$936,000.

Terms of the APA

  • Buly purchased 100% of six non-core Tembo prospecting licenses.
  • Cash consideration of US$6,000,000 was paid to Tembo's Tanzanian subsidiary MIP that owned the licenses.
  • Contingent payments up to an aggregate amount of US$45,000,000 are payable to MIP calculated based on the inferred, indicated, and measured gold mineral resources identified in the areas of land which are covered by the licenses acquired by Buly.
  • Buly is required to spend US$9,000,000 in the license area over a four-year period following closing of the transaction.
  • Buly subscribed for 5,518,764 Common Shares in Tembo Gold Corp. at approximately C$0.2718 for an aggregate subscription amount of C$1,500,000.

Tembo's Exploration Manager, Hendrik Meiring, commented, "The work completed by the Buly exploration team will lead to an improved understanding of the camp scale model, with the goal of increasing the established proven gold endowment of the area."

Tembo President & CEO, David Scott, stated, "We are encouraged to see that the work on the licenses Tembo sold to Barrick is beginning to accelerate with approximately 90% of the US$9,000,000 still to be spent."

The above information has been prepared under the supervision of Hendrik Meiring, Pr. Sci. Nat., who is designated as a "Qualified Person" with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity and validity of the data.
