Tembo Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TEM)(OTCQX:TBGPF)(FRANKFURT:T23) ("Tembo" or "the
Company") is pleased to report additional results from the 2012 drill program on
the Tembo Property in the Lake Victoria goldfield of Tanzania. These additional
shallow reverse circulation (RC) holes from the Nyakagwe Village target were
drilled in the phase 1 drilling program on the Tembo property and support the
results previously reported from this target area.


Highlights of the latest drill results include:



--  TRC0552 : 8.42g/t gold over 3.00m from 86m 
--  TRC0562 : 4.61g/t gold over 5.00m from 82m 



David Scott President & CEO stated, "The mineralization at the Nyakagwe Village
target was only recently discovered by local artisanal miners in the past 36
months beneath transported overburden extensively used as agricultural lands
immediately adjacent to the village. Our initial drill results at the Nyakagwe
Village target returned multiple high-grade zones of mineralization such as
diamond drill hole TDD0107 which (as previously reported) returned 16.58 g/t
gold over 3.55m from 44m and 27.88 g/t gold over 3m from 66m). RC drilling of
potential extensions to this mineralization along strike of the high grade
TDD0107 diamond drill hole and elsewhere within the target area, has intersected
mineralized structures correlated with mineralization in TDD0107 at least 200m
to the east, and indicates that there are other sub-parallel mineralized
structures. Follow-up drilling of the extensions will be required during a later
phase of drilling." 


The Nyakagwe Village Target

The Nyakagwe Village target is located at the western end of the broad,
semi-arcuate belt of active artisanal workings (up to 1000m wide) stretching
eastwards through the Mgusu target to the Nyakagwe East target area (a distance
of some 1,500 m). The main artisanal workings at Nyakagwe Village comprise a pit
with dimensions of some 100 m x 100 m and 35 m deep within an area containing
numerous vertical shafts over a rectangular area some 200 m by 100 m. Artisanal
shafts located on the southern edge of the pit extend to depths in excess of 40
m below surface. Underground workings reportedly extend over a strike length of
40m, exploiting a quartz vein up to 3m thick, striking WNW and dipping at
approximately 40 degrees to the south. 


Prior to 2011 this mineralization was unknown despite being within metres of the
local village, a result of the ubiquitous transported cover draped over the
Tembo project area to depths in excess of 4-10m. This fact strongly supports the
conclusion that there are potentially many high-grade targets yet to be
discovered beneath this cover along the numerous magnetic lineaments that
locally coincide with artisanal workings but extend well beyond these and have
sub-parallel counterparts with no workings. 


Higher-grade samples from the Nyakagwe Village workings exhibit very fine
grained visible gold associated with vein quartz. The high grades intersected in
drill holes are associated with quartz veining and sulphides (predominantly
pyrite) within meta-basalts. Further diamond and RC drilling is planned to
follow up the high-grade intersections achieved to date and to define the
structural controls on the mineralisation and determine the lateral and depth
extent of the mineralization.


Drill Program

The initial drilling at the target has consisted of limited diamond drilling
beneath the shafts and open pit and lines of heel-toe RC drill holes to test for
the extensions and other potential parallel mineralized structures. Further
drilling will be required at Nyakagwe Village, drilling for 2013 will be focused
on the development of the more advanced targets, particularly Ngula 1.

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.

similar expressions. In particular, this news release contains forward-looking
statements in respect of the results of the gold deportment studies conducted by
SGS, including, without limitation, expected CIL recoveries and the expectation
of high recoveries based on the preliminary gold deportment results,
Forward-looking statements are based upon the opinions and expectations of
management of the Company as at the effective date of such statements and, in
certain cases, information provided or disseminated by third parties. Although
the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking

expectations will prove to have been correct. With respect to forward-looking
statements contained in this news release, the Company has made assumptions
regarding, among other things, the ability to develop the Company's Tembo
project, the economic climate in the jurisdictions where the Company carries on
operations at its Tembo project and commodity prices. Although the Company
believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements
contained in this document, and the assumptions on which such forward-looking
statements are made, are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such
expectations will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned not to place undue

which may cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from any
estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied
by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among
other things, a significant drop in the price of gold, political turmoil in
Tanzania and other risk factors set forth in the Company's continuous
disclosure. Readers are cautioned that this list of risk factors should not be
construed as exhaustive. These statements are made as at the date hereof and
unless otherwise required by law, the Company does not intend, or assume any
