Tembo Gold Corp. announced the following changes to the Board of Directors of the company. Due to other business commitments, Marc Cernovitch will step down from his Executive Director and VP Business Development role, but will remain on the Board as an Independent Director.

Marc's contribution to Tembo since the re-launch of the company in 2011 has been invaluable and the company look forward to his continued input in the company's overall strategy of business development. Simon Benstead, a significant shareholder in, and strong supporter of Tembo, will be appointed to the Board and Vice President Corporate Development and CFO. Simon is an entrepreneur and investor with twenty years of capital markets and senior management experience, having spent five years with Merrill Lynch as Vice President Institutional Equity Trading, and four years with BMO Capital Markets as Managing Director Institutional Trading focused on resources.

Simon is a welcome addition to the Board and Management team and will be a strong asset to the company in moving toward to the next stage of development. David Anthony, formerly Chairman of the Board of the company, will return to the Board in this position. David formerly was employed by Barrick Gold Corp.'s Tanzanian subsidiary Kahama Mining Corporation at the Bulyanhulu Mine, and later managed the feasibility studies, the mine build and the commissioning of both Tulawaka Mine and Buzwagi Mine of Barrick and later African Barrick (now Acacia Mining).

David's insight into governmental affairs and negotiating with governmental groups in the country, in the conducting of feasibility studies and the transition from project to mine, will be invaluable as Tembo plans the shift from being only an explorer to a mine developer and producer. David previously stepped down from the Board to make way for new appointments when the New Africa Mining Fund, Stratex and CCM investor group last invested and three board positions were required for them. David Scott, with nearly 20 years' experience in Tanzania, formerly the Technical Services and Continuous Improvement Manager at the Tembo Project's neighbouring Bulyanhulu Mine of Acacia Mining during the full period of that mine build, and as Executive Director of Shanta Gold through the feasibility study of that company's New Luika Gold Mine, will remain as a Director and President and CEO of Tembo Gold.

David will continue to be responsible for local affairs, for technical oversight, and the endeavors to secure further investment into production on the project. Frank Högel of Concept Capital Management, Tembo Gold's largest shareholder, a consistent and valued supporter of the company, will remain on the Board as a non-executive Director.
