{kanada_flagge}The wait is over: after several years of forced suspension, Tembo Gold Corp. (TSXV: TEM; FRA: T23A) is restarting drilling at its eponymous project in Tanzania for the first time. If management has its way, drills are expected to start turning this month. The drilling program, planned for 2022, will include 7,000 meters of diamond drilling and 5,000 meters of reverse circulation drilling.
{kanada_flagge}The wait is over: after several years of forced suspension, Tembo Gold Corp. (TSXV: TEM; FRA: T23A) is restarting drilling at its eponymous project in Tanzania for the first time. If management has its way, drills are expected to start turning this month. The drilling program, planned for 2022, will include 7,000 meters of diamond drilling and 5,000 meters of reverse circulation drilling.
Tembo has engaged a specialist drilling contractor and is now only awaiting final approval from the Tanzania Mining Commission Renovation work at the mining camp will be completed before mobilization in February, Tembo says.
Planning for the first drill holes on the Ngula 1 priority target is already underway. In previous drilling, Ngula1 delivered outstanding results. The best results were 22.18g/t Au over a 15m intersection in hole TDD0041, 8.12g/t Au over 11.05m in hole TDD0054, 8.5g/t Au over 5.14m in hole TDD0005 with, 28.57g/t Au over 3.00m in hole TDD0004 and 17.23g/t Au over 3.00m in hole TRC0013 including a number of other promising holes. The first hole is planned as a follow-up to hole TDD0041.
The holes will target the structural orientation of the mineralized structures and then follow these mineralized zones up-dip, down-dip and along strike to develop a resource model once sufficient data has been collected.
Additional drill holes will also test new targets identified in GoldSpot’s recent target generation (see press release dated June 1, 2021), and it is expected that these drill holes will provide evidence of further potential by collecting relevant data, including alteration, mineralization and structural control along the identified structures.
David Scott, President & CEO, stated, “With the signing of the recent license and share purchase agreements with Barrick Gold’s Bulyanhulu Mine subsidiary and the associated post-closing financing once all regulatory approvals and other closing conditions are met, we are very much looking forward to drilling and exploration activities on our property and adjacent licenses. This long-awaited resumption of exploration will be gratifying to all those who have worked to keep Tembo and its prospects alive.”

A wide corridor with traces of artisanal mining extends east-west between them. Previous drilling has attempted to explore the feeder system at depth (see Figure 3).
