Tembo Gold Corp. announced the first results of the 2022 diamond drilling campaign on the company's Tembo Project in Tanzania. The company has designed a 7,000m programme of drilling of which approximately 5,500m is expected to be completed before the drillers break commences in December.

Significant gold intersections have been achieved and structural interpretation of the results is providing an improved understanding of the controls in mineralization at the three targets, Ngula 1, Nyakagwe Village and Nyakagwe East. Highlights: A total of 3,353m of drilling has been completed at the three targets, Nyakagwe Village, Ngula 1, and Nyakagwe East, comprising a total of 18 drill holes; Best intersections returned included 12.96g/t Au over 5.54m from 89.01m including 29.67g/t Au over 2.35m from 91.44m at Nyakagwe Village; All holes logged and sampled to date intersected gold mineralization and confirmed the geological continuity of structures hosting the gold; The structural controls on mineralization are now being evaluated in detail to improve the targeting of future drilling planned for 2023, and the commencement of a resource-definition drill programme; The drilling has achieved a number of exceptional high-grade individual samples at Nyakagwe Village TDD0162 84.14g/t Au over 0.67m from 89.61m, TDD0163 37.43g/t Au over 0.30m from 115.72m, TDD0164 57.23g/t Au over 0.30m from 57.28m; These results are associated with robust geology comprising strong shearing of the host rock, alteration, quartz veining and sulphide mineralization. Nyakagwe Village: 667 m of drilling comprising four drill holes has been completed at Nyakagwe Village; The drilling is following up the excellent intersections reported from the 2012-2014 drill program that included: TDD0071 - 24.72g/t Au over 1.45m from 85.25m; TDD0101 - 78.10g/t Au over 1.00m from 294.00m; TDD0107 - 16.58g/t Au over 3.55m from 43.88 and 27.88g/t Au over 3.00m from 65.90m; The latest drilling has returned the following results: TDD0162 - 12.96g/t Au over 5.54m from 89.01m including 29.67g/t Au over 2.35m from 91.44m; TDD0163 - 5.76g/t Au over 1.22m from 105.97m and 37.43g/t Au over 0.30m from 115.72m; TDD0164 - 7.06g/t Au over 2.69m from 57.28m; All holes intersected multiple gold-bearing structures and further drill results are awaited; The mineralization has similar geological controls to Ngula 1 with a dominant east-west structure but northeast-southwest structures providing a secondary control on enriched mineralization; Ongoing drilling is planned to further investigate these structural controls, then to be followed by deeper drilling to determine the initial resource potential.

Nyakagwe East: Two holes totaling 405m have been completed at Nyakagwe East. Drill results are awaited and will be utilized to direct the next stage of drilling.
