Tembo Gold Corp. reported the results of the first deep hole from the 2012 initial drill program at Ngula 1 target on the Tembo Project in the Lake Victoria goldfield of Tanzania. The results of this deep hole strongly support the Company's geological model that mineralization grades will improve with depth, as was the case at the adjacent Bulyanhulu Mine of African Barrick Gold.

Highlights of the latest drill results include: TDD0041: 22.81g/t Au over 15.00m from 299.00m including 34.78g/t Au over 9.70m from 302.30m, including 205 g/t gold over 1 meter. The Ngula 1 target consists of a 600m long, 150-200m wide package of massive and locally intensely sheared mafic meta-volcanic rocks bounded to the north and south by thin meta-sedimentary units. Within the package there are a number of strong sub-parallel, near vertical north dipping, east-west shear structures.

These shear structures consistently host gold mineralization in association with quartz veining, alteration and sulphides, predominantly pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite. These east-west structures are of variable thickness, ranging from less than a meter to 50m, and it is interpreted that they are intersected by northwest and northeast trending secondary shear structures that result in thicker zones of deformation and alteration and higher-grade mineralization. The drilling program to date has consisted of alternating 100m spaced diamond drill hole and reverse circulation drill hole sections drilled from the south to test the zone at vertical depths between 50m and 200m from surface, and 100m spaced diamond hole drill sections drilled from the north testing to similar depths.

The earlier drill results announced in 2012 (March 13, June 7, and September 26) provide initial definition of these zone of deformation and mineralization and drill holes intersected variable grades and widths of mineralization within numerous robust parallel east west shear structures. These intersections include: TDD0004: 3.13 g/t Au over 25.89m including 8.87 g/t Au over 3.89m; TDD0005: 10.76 g/t Au over 4.00m, including 93.3 g/t Au over 0.38m; TRC0013: 17.23g/t Au over 4.00m from 19.00m, including 48.8g/t Au over 1.00m, and 13.00g/t Au over 1.00m from 104m; TRC0014: 19.80g/t Au over 1.00m from 114.00m and 10.00g/t over 1.00m from 122.00m; and TDD0054: 8.17g/t over 11.05m from 116.95m.
