Tembo Reports Progress of Work on the Buly Trend Target on the Tembo Project in Tanzania

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - June 05, 2014) - Tembo Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: TEM) (FRANKFURT: T23) ("Tembo" or the "Company") is pleased to report progress on its 2014 work program on the Buly Trend target area on the Tembo Property in the Lake Victoria goldfield of Tanzania. A first drill hole has tested the Buly trend in the vicinity of artisanal workings and an IP geophysical survey has been completed and an initial diamond drill hole through a resulting significant anomaly has commenced. This anomaly is located along the interpreted projected extension of the structure that hosts the Reef 1 orebody at Bulyanhulu Mine.

Highlights of the Buly Trend work program include:

• A strong magnetic lineament characterizes the interpreted extension of the structure hosting Reef 1 at Bulyanhulu Mine;
• A 200m artisanal working is located along this trend;
• TDD0001, drilled through this lineament beneath the workings, intersected a strong broad brittle-ductile shear zone with associated quartz veining but little sulphide and minor Au;
• Initial IP has revealed a strong chargeable and resistive zone along strike at depth to the northwest along the trend at the Ngula 2 target, which has a highly active artisanal working located immediately to the northeast at surface;
• The Ngula 2 target has consistently returned high grades from grab samples of the artisanal production: and
• Drilling of the first drillhole to test the IP chargeability anomaly has commenced.

David Scott President & CEO stated, "The Buly Trend has for very obvious reasons always been considered an important target for the Company. The initial drillhole confirmed that at least one and probably more major shear zones are present in this area and appear to relate directly to the northwest extension of the Bulyanhulu system. The just-completed IP survey now provides us with strong evidence of potential sulphide mineralization possibly associated with a strong shear structure along this same Buly trend. The outcome of the first drillhole testing the chargeability zone is eagerly anticipated. "

Geology of the Buly Trend
The geology of the Bulyanhulu Mine sequence trends northwest into the Tembo licence area. Two northwest-trending structures that host the resource at Bulyanhulu (Reef 1 and Reef 2 450-500m apart), are believed to continue in a northwesterly direction through the boundary separating the properties. Reef 1 is located in a brittle-ductile shear structure located largely within an argillaceous meta-sediment on a mafic-felsic metavolcanic contact. A number of other sub-parallel magnetic lineaments are evident across a broad northwest-striking metavolcanic sequence. These structures commonly occupy contacts between individual lithological units consisting of stacked metavolcanic flows, alternating mafic and felsic meta-volcanic rocks and associated meta-sediments.
