![]() The historical drilling (Table 2) and the re-interpretation of the historical geophysical data supports a drill strategy to target intersecting magnetic lineaments, particularly where these have associated artisanal workings. The workings indicate a multiple array of mineralized structures with two dominant orientations, east-northeast west-southwest and west-northwest east-southeast with dips generally interpreted to be steep to the south. The zone of workings is up to 1,000m wide extending from Nyakagwe Village in the west to the Nyakagwe East target in the east. The workings define a combined strike in excess of 3km extending along a zone 1,500m in length. Mgusu encompasses the southern slopes of Nyakagwe Hill and is defined by a broad, semi-arcuate belt of active artisanal workings largely identified by the LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey conducted in 2011. * Widths represent down hole lengths and true widths are unknown at this time. Having demonstrated significant gold mineralization below the artisanal workings we have confidence to proceed with a further drilling campaign to systematically test the full potential of the project and expand the positive results achieved to date at Mgusu." Mgusu is an exciting target given the large number and multidirectional nature of mineralized structures and the over 3.1km of artisanal exploitation. A 13 hole RC drill campaign consisting of multiple short fences to depths of 150m was conducted in which several holes encountered gold mineralization with TRC0423 demonstrating particularly high grades of 19.1g/t gold over 3m near surface beneath artisanal mining. Sampling of artisanal production at Mgusu returned grades ranging from less than 1 to 35g/t goldÄavid Scott, President & CEO stated, "We are very pleased to have encountered gold mineralization on yet another target on our property, the third in succession. Over 3.1km of artisanal workings in Mgusu target area provide numerous structures to be tested Grades and widths similar to those experienced at 14Moz Bulyanhulu mine Tembo drill hole confirms significant gold mineralization at 3 rd target area on the Tembo project With these new intersections Tembo has now encountered significant gold mineralization in its initial drilling at all three of its target areas drilled to date and it continues to demonstrate the anticipated high success of drilling under artisanal mine workings. Drill-hole TRC0423 at the Mgusu target (Figure 1) was drilled as part of the phase 1 drilling program on the Tembo property and has returned excellent early drill results (Table 1). (TSX VENTURE:TEM)( T23.F)( TBGPF) ("Tembo" or "the Company") is pleased to report results from the ongoing 2012 drill program on the Tembo Property in the Lake Victoria goldfield of Tanzania.
