TEMBO REPORTS ADDITIONAL DRILL RESULTS FROM THE NGULA 1 TARGET INCLUDING 5.09g/t OVER 2.77M FROM 285.42M INCLUDING 11.70g/t Au OVER 0.98M
Toronto, Ontario – September 26, 2012- Tembo Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TEM) ("Tembo", or the "Company) is pleased to report additional results from its 2012 preliminary drill program at the Ngula 1 target on the Tembo Project in the Lake Victoria goldfield of Tanzania. Drilling to date at the Ngula 1 target has encountered multiple zones of gold mineralization across a 600m strike length within a 200m wide structural package and these new drill results further validate the presence of robust gold mineralization at the Ngula 1 target.
Highlights of the latest drill results include:
•All diamond drill results have encountered significant gold mineralization
•TDD0106: 5.09g/t over 2.77m from 285.42m including 11.70g/t Au over 0.98m
•TRC00110: 4.22g/t Au over 5.00m from 195.00m, including 8.38g/t Au over 2.00m;
•TRC0125: 19.03g/t Au over 0.94m from 35.16m and 5.90g/t over 1.14m from 208.00m
Tembo Gold President & CEO, David Scott stated, “The Ngula 1 target results are consistently intersecting strong structures with gold mineralization both under artisanal workings and along strike of these workings. This shows that although artisanal mining reveals areas of gold mineralization, there is mineralization along extensions to these structures and additional sub-parallel and crosscutting structures that are not being exploited. This supports our strategy to explore beyond artisanal mining targeting structures using magnetic lineaments as a guide. These new drill holes have again encountered significant high grade gold mineralization across multiples structures. We are very pleased with drilling to date as all diamond drill holes at Ngula 1 have encountered gold mineralization across a strike of more than 600m.”
Drill Program
The Ngula 1 target consists of at least two dominant sub-parallel, near vertical, anastomosing east-west shear zones within a tightly folded, near vertical package of mafic meta-volcanics (intercalated meta-sedimentary horizons defining the northern and southern limits) with a defined strike of 600m and a width of 200m. These primary shears are frequently associated with pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization hosting variable gold content. High grade gold mineralization is considered to occur where less prominent secondary structures (northeast and possibly northwest trending) intersect the primary east-west shear zones, providing a suitable locus for gold deposition. The meta-sedimentary “marker” horizons are similar to, and may be, the strike extent of the unit that hosts the Bulyhanhulu deposit 7km to the southeast.
Drilling has been conducted from the south and the north to optimize intersections within the package as a whole. Seven additional diamond drill holes have been drilled at -60° to the north and south targeting vertical depths of between 100m and 200m on the primary east-west structures. Five of the holes were drilled on 100m spaced section lines along a 500m strike length while two in-fill holes were drilled on 50m section lines.
As anticipated, the recent drill program has intersected new gold-bearing structures which were not evident from artisanal workings. Further investigation of these new structures is currently underway, as despite containing lower sulphide content at these stratigraphic horizons they typically display similar characteristics to better-mineralized structures, strongly suggesting that they could potentially be higher-grade elsewhere along strike or down dip.
A further five in-fill holes are planned to increase the density of drilling in the main mineralized zone. Ongoing detailed structural and geological interpretation of the meta-volcanic stratigraphy and structures is in progress to obtain a better understanding of the controls on the distribution of mineralization (particularly the higher gold grades) and to thus correlate the intersections to enable follow-up drill hole planning, and subsequent modeling and resource evaluation of the deposit.

QA/QC
A stringent QA/QC practice is being applied to all sample batches. A Verified Reference Material standard is inserted every 20th sample, a known blank or blank standard every 20th sample and all samples with assays greater than 0.5 g/t Au are re-assayed. 1% of all samples are submitted to an alternative laboratory for check analysis. In addition the laboratory adheres to an internal QA/QC procedure including standard samples and repeats and blanks inserted independently.
The above information has been prepared under the supervision of David Scott, Pr. Sci. Nat., who is designated as a "Qualified Person" with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity and validity of the data.
