Tembo Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TEM)(OTCQX:TBGPF)(FRANKFURT:T23) ("Tembo", or the
"Company) is pleased to report additional results from its 2012 recent drill
program on the Tembo Property in the Lake Victoria goldfield of Tanzania. These
additional diamond drill holes and shallow, close-spaced reverse circulation
(RC) holes from the Ngula 1 target were drilled as part of the Phase 1 drilling
program on the Tembo property designed to test the continuity of the mineralized
zones intersected earlier in the 2012 diamond drilling campaign. These results
support the high-grade results previously reported from this target area.


Highlights of the latest drill results include:



--  TRC0001: 38.20g/t Au over 1.00m from 85m 
--  TRC0008: 3.75g/t Au over 6.00m from 35m 
--  TDD0146: 10.70g/t Au over 1.00m from 308m 



David Scott President & CEO stated, "These drill hole results form part of both
the Ngula 1 in-fill diamond drilling programme and the first close-spaced RC
programme that is designed to test the continuity of the mineralized zones
intersected in the 2012 diamond drilling campaign. The planned series of
closer-spaced drill holes will provide us with the density of data we require to
enable us to undertake geological modeling and resource definition. The data
obtained from these holes will provide additional confidence in correlating and
interpreting the structures and mineralization present at Ngula 1. Given the
results obtained in the deepest Ngula 1 intersection to date (TDD0041 - which
returned, 22.81g/t Au over 15.00m from 299.00m including 34.78g/t Au over 9.70m
from 302.30m as previously reported), completion of the close spaced drilling
programme will be deferred in favour of further testing of the deposit at
depth." 


The Ngula 1 Target

The Ngula 1 target consists of a 600m long, 150-200m wide corridor of massive
and locally intensely sheared mafic meta-volcanic rocks bounded to the north and
south by thin meta-sedimentary units. This package contains numerous intensely
deformed, veined and altered shear structures that typically have elevated gold
values. Based on the structural intersections achieved to date, the current
interpretation is that the corridor of deformed meta-volcanic rocks contains two
wide shear zones, one in the northern half and one in the southern half. A
single section through the package may host as many as 5-10 such structures
ranging in width from less than one metre to several tens of metres. The
structures are predominantly steeply north dipping and are thought to represent
sub-parallel and often interconnecting splays and subsidiary structures to the
principle east-west shears, with secondary cross-cutting northwest and northeast
structures also present. Zones of intersection and convergence are considered to
be the favoured location for wider zones of mineralization and higher grades.
Gold mineralization is closely associated with quartz veining, alteration and
disseminated sulphides, which include dominant pyrrhotite, and lesser pyrite and
chalcopyrite. The stronger and more sulphide rich structures (pyrrhotite) are
interpreted to correspond closely to lineaments that are evident in the
structural interpretation of magnetic imagery.


Drill Program

The drilling program initially consisted of alternating 100m-spaced diamond and
reverse circulation drill hole sections drilled from the south targeting the
zones at vertical depths of approximately -50m, -100m, -150 and -200m, and
100m-spaced diamond hole drill sections drilled from the north to similar
depths. Recent deeper drilling has intersected wide zones of high-grade gold
mineralization at a vertical depth of approximately 250m and deeper drilling
down through 500m is currently being planned. Based on geological interpretation
of deposition conditions at the time of mineralization, deeper drilling is
expected to return more consistent and laterally extensive good results as
achieved in TDD0041 which returned, 22.81g/t Au over 15.00m from 299.00m
including 34.78g/t Au over 9.70m from 302.30m, (previously reported), as was the
case at the adjacent mine Bulyanhulu Mine during the discovery drilling program.

Notes: 

1.  Widths represent drill intersection widths not corrected for drill hole
    inclination and dip of the geological zone. True widths have not been
    determined. The drill hole inclination of 60deg and sub vertical dip of
    the structures suggests that the true width will be approximately 86% of
    the intersected width. 
2.  Drill holes have not been drilled in numerical sequence and not all
    drill holes in a sequence have necessarily been drilled. Drill hole
    numbers represent the original drill hole identification assigned when
    planned. 
3.  No capping of high-grade values has been applied to the assay results.
