Vancouver, May 29th 2020 – Tembo Gold Corp.

As previously announced, the Company is relying on the 45-day filings extension for its Annual Filings provided under B.C. Instrument 51-515 – Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements (“BCI 51-515”). The 45-day extension is being provided in response to the COVID- 19 pandemic, for certain periodic filings that are required to be made on or before June 1, 2020.
The Company also intends to rely on the extension provided by BCI 51-515 for its interim financial statements andaccompanying management’s discussion and analysis for the three months ending March 31, 2020, together with the related officer certificates (collectively, the “Interim Filings”) as required by Part 4 and Part 5 of NI 51-102 and Part 5 of National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings. The Company continues to work diligently and expeditiously to file its Annual Filings and Interim Filings before June 14, 2020 and July 16, 2020, respectively. At this time it is not certain that the Company can meet these deadlines and accordingly the Company is making necessary plans for additional filings with regulatory authorities to extend the filing deadlines.
The Company’s directors, officers and other insiders are subject to a trading blackout that reflects the principals described in section 9 of National Policy 11-207 – Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions, until such time as it is no longer applicable. The Company confirms that there have been no material business developments that have occurred subsequent to the filing of the Company’s September 30, 2019 interim financial statements on November 28, 2019, that have not already been disclosed by the Company through news releases filed on SEDAR.
