Tembo Gold Corp. report that nearly 2,000m of diamond drilling had been completed at the Company's Tembo Project in the Lake Victoria goldfield in Tanzania. The initial drill holes have been focused at previous good intersections at Ngula 1 and Nyakagwe Village.

The first batch of samples is currently at the SGS laboratory in the nearby town of Mwanza for analysis and results are expected shortly. 1,983m comprising 10 drillholes were completed at Ngula 1 and Nyakagwe Village targets since drilling commenced at the beginning of June. At Ngula 1 a number of visual zones of shearing and mineralization were observed in the metabasalt sequence in the boreholes at this target.

Borehole NG1DC003 intersected no less than 8 shears, all weakly to well mineralized and most notably intersected a fractured and mineralized argillite. A 14.85m fractured, sheared and mineralized zone was intersected between 168.47m and 283.32m in NG1DC003. Borehole NG1DC005 intersected four zones, and NG1DC006 seven zones, of shearing and veining with mineralization.

A mineralized shear zone of 11.03m was intersected in NG1DC006 from 241.6m to 252.63m. Logging of the Nyakagwe Village diamond core is ongoing and a number of mineralized shear zones are observed. The drill rig has been relocated to Nyakagwe East to commence the planned pprogramme at this target.

Once the initial 2022 drilling plan has been completed at Nyakagwe East, the last of the three primary targets subject to this drilling campaign, and structural analysis and analytical results have been compiled and interpreted, further drill holes will target the extensions of the known mineralized zones. The 2022 drilling programme commenced at the beginning of June and progress has been good. The first three existing targets planned for this campaign are Ngula 1, Nyakagwe Village and Nyakagwe East, all three of which returned outstanding results in the earlier campaigns of 2012 and 2014.

This drilling programme is attempting to replicate the existing intersections, gather detailed structural data from oriented core, and once this data has been analysed to follow the mineralized zones down and along the interpreted structural trends. The drilling has been completed at Ngula 1 and Nyakagwe Village and the single drill rig is currently drilling at Nyakagwe East.
