Tembo Gold Corp. reports that on the Company's Tembo Project in the Lake Victoria goldfield in Tanzania, a significant new artisanal working has commenced along strike of the neighbouring Bulyanhulu Mine of Barrick Gold. This is an entirely new location for artisanal activity.

Grab samples that were retrieved from these artisanal workings at the location, termed Mwasabuka, have returned excellent grades. A sample of approximately 30 kg was taken at the Mwasabuka working area from a recent artisanal `ore' stockpile. The 30 kg sample was homogenized and then split and resplit until four 3 kg samples were obtained.

The samples returned an excellent average gold value of 11.21 g/t. The results are particularly encouraging as this is an area not previously explored by Tembo and constitutes a new discovery and target for initial drilling. Further sampling of material from each shaft is underway to establish a clearer picture of the grade distribution along the structure. Additional fieldwork is also being planned to confirm (where possible) the dip, lateral extent and thickness of the mineralised shear zone.

Aside from the presence of the artisanal shafts and mined rubble, there is no surface expression of the mineralization due to the transported cover ubiquitous over the project area due to the transported cover ubiquitous over the project area. Following the fieldwork, drill holes will be planned at Mwasabuka.
