Tembo Gold Corp. Reports Progress of the Acquisition of Dora Project

• The potential future resource growth within both the Imwelo mining licence and this PL, along strike extensions to known mineralization and at depth, provide confidence that an expanded production and longer life for the Imwelo project is likely.

• Once the transfer has been completed and funds are available, follow-up exploration, in particular drilling, will commence to upgrade the resource and provide additional data to support expansion studies of the Imwelo mine development project¸

The Project Highlights

• The Dora Project prospecting licence (PL) acquisition which was announced in August, bounds the Imwelo mining license to the west, east and south.

• Mineralized structures hosting the gold trend off the Imwelo ML into the Dora PL and host the historical resource of; Indicated Resource of 90,800oz Au at 1.19g/t; Inferred Resource of 424,310oz Au at 1.43g/t within the Dora PL.

• A number of targets identified by soil geochemical anomalies within the PL provide additional future targets for follow-up exploration.

• Extensions to the known mineralization at depth and along strike, remain to be tested.

• This PL extends the known and potential strike of mineralization of the Imwelo ML to the west by 6km, with multiple east-west parallel structures potentially increasing this.

"The acquisition of the Dora Project is a perfect complement to the Imwelo Project and provides the opportunity for Tembo to develop two substantial properties with potential for significant upside at a district scale. The combination of the two projects aligns well with the Company's commitment to building a diversified portfolio of quality development and near term production assets with strong re-rate potential for all shareholders," said Simon Benstead, Executive Chairman & CFO.

"The 500,000 oz historical resource on the Dora licence allows Tembo/LVG to advance the project to a higher confidence level through feasibility to Mining Licence. The combination of the two projects allows early gold production and measured production increases over the next 5 years to become a mid tier gold company," said Marc Cernovitch, CEO & Director.

A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the Historical Resource Estimate as current mineral resources, and the Company is not treating the Historical Resource Estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The Company believes that the Historical Resource Estimate is relevant to an appraisal of the merits of the Project and forms a reliable basis upon which to develop future exploration programs. The Company will need to conduct further exploration, and there is no guarantee that the results obtained will reflect the historical estimate. In order to verify the Historical Resource Estimate to a current mineral resource estimate, the Company will need to retain a qualified person to verify historical drilling and assaying methods and validate historical results, add any drilling and assaying or other pertinent geological information generated since the last estimation, and complete an updated resource estimate and a new technical report. Significant data compilation, drilling, sampling and data verification may be required by a qualified person before the Historical Resource Estimate can be classified as a current resource. There can be no assurance that any of the historical mineral resources, in whole or in part, will ever become economically viable. In addition, mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Even if classified as a current mineral resource, there is no certainty as to whether further exploration will result in any inferred mineral resources being upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource category.

The Company announced on August 10th and August 29th, 2023 the acquisition of two deposits that support our objective of accretive growth and consolidation. The Imwelo project and Dora project both have potential for significant growth.

Tembo has assembled a highly experienced team with a track record of developing, financing and operating mining projects in Africa with management, directors and partners owning more than 60% of the shares. Notably, the Company is grateful for the validation that comes with the support and equity investment from Barrick Gold and the recent strategic partnership with Taifa Group.

Taifa Group (a diverse group of companies with interests in, amongst others, Mining, Telecoms, Oil & Gas, Agri Business, Pharmaceuticals and Leather) has taken an equity stake in Tembo Gold through its wholly owned subsidiary Taifa Mining (a wholly Tanzanian owned company).
