Highlights

  • Tembo will raise an amount of $3,000,000 to fund the 2021 drilling programme.
  • Drilling will be carried out on the Tembo Project, located adjacent to the Bulyanhulu underground mining operation of Barrick Gold.
  • The drilling is a follow-up to previous drilling programmes that intersected highly significant gold mineralization with exceptional grades.
  • The re-interpretation of Tembo’s extensive database of previous exploration through the GoldSpot collaboration project highlighted the characteristics of the known targets previously drilled and identified at least 54 potential targets with these and similar characteristics commonly associated with gold mineralization in greenstone terranes.
  • Drilling will focus around earlier boreholes with good results, with the aim of achieving a detailed structural understanding of the mineralization so that further targeted follow-up drilling can follow the mineralisation along strike and downdip with the goal of defining a maiden resource.
  • Testing of two newly defined targets will commence with a staged drilling programme consisting of diamond, RC and RAB drilling.
  • A total of 15,000m is planned comprising 2,000m of diamond drilling, 5,500m of RC drilling and 7,500m of RAB drilling.
  • It is anticipated that this programme will be completed by the end of Q4 2021.

David Scott, President & CEO of Tembo, stated: “We are extremely happy to be re-mobilising onto the Tembo project and eagerly await the outcomes of this programme. Through our recent re-interpretation we are further convinced of the quality of the project and the potential for a significant gold discovery and anticipate a protracted period of resource and new target drilling beyond 2021.”
