Tembo GOLD Corp. Announces Positive Preliminary Outcomes of the Goldspot Collaboration Project
TEMBO GOLD CORP. ANNOUNCES POSITIVE
PRELIMINARY OUTCOMES OF THE GOLDSPOT
COLLABORATION PROJECT
Vancouver, BC – JUNE 1, 2021 - Tembo Gold Corp. (TSXV: TEM) ("Tembo" or the "Company”) is pleased
to announce the initial results of the work being conducted by GoldSpot Discoveries Corp. (“GoldSpot”),
in conjunction with the Tembo geological team . The Company announced the collaboration agreement
with GoldSpot on August 20 th, 2020 ( https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/62139/Tembo-Gold-
Technical-Collaboration-Agreement). GoldSpot is applying the broad experience and knowledge of their
multidisciplinary team of geoscientists and data scientists, coupled with artificial intelligence computing
technology to re -interpret the Tembo data and any other available data that is relevant to the Tembo
project area, to generate structural targets for ongoing gold exploration.
Highlights of the Outcomes to Date
• GoldSpot has primarily focused on geophysics (airborne magnetics and ground induced
polarization), soil and rock geochemistry, satellite imagery (ASTER data), structural interpretation,
LithoLens (analysing core photography), gold distribution modeling and regional prospectivity
mapping using the Random Forrest algorithm.
• The data analysis and interpretation has provided an updated geophysical interpretation and
improved structural understanding.
• The work has resulted in confirmation of multiple targets on the Tembo property and, most
importantly, has facilitated the spatial definition and prioritisation of the targets that is now the
basis for planning a programme of systematic and focused exploration with a high degree of
confidence.
• In total, the GoldSpot Smart targeting approach was able to identify and rank 54 new targets on
the property (Figure 1).
• Arising out of this a number of recommendations regarding further work programmes have been
provided.
• The Company has prepared an initial drilling programme to provide further intersections of newly
prioritized zones of mineralization with particular focus on generating detailed structural
information.
• Wider exploration activity has also been recommended, including geochemical and geophysical
surveys, and will be prioritized after evaluation of all lithological, structural, and assay data
generated from this initial drill programme.
• The budget for this drilling will provide for 2,000m of diamond drilling, 5,500m of reverse
circulation drilling and 7,500m of RAB/Aircore.

Smart Targeting Approach
The GoldSpot team of experts undertook the interpretation and analysis of each individual type of dataset
available. Systematic evaluation of the various geophysical (magnetic and IP) datasets, in conjunction with
high resolution LIDAR orthophotography and the detailed digital elevation model has led to the
recognition of two important deformation events that appear to have played critical roles in the
localization of many of the targeted zones of mineralization . Numerous northwest-southeast trending
structures, the same orientation of those hosting the 20M oz Bulyanhulu gold deposit, together with
northeast-southwest and east-west structural were identified by the GoldSpot study.
Key path-finder elements were identified from the existing Tembo geochemical database, and, together
with the Muscovite Saturation Index, were demonstrated to be of potential value in highlighting structural
zones of interest in drill core and will play an important role in the evaluation of the new drill programme.

The integration of all these variables and the resulting new interpretations have led to a greatly enhanced
geological understanding of the area. Importantly, this Smart geological model has not only demonstrated
strong similarities with the adjacent Bulyhanhulu gold deposits but also highlighted the additional
mineralized structural trends and multiple targets within the Tembo Project area.
David Scott , President & CEO , stated “This collaborative re -interpretation and enhancement of the
technical consideration of the Tembo data has greatly improved the overall understanding of the
geological setting within this greenstone fragment, has identified invaluable characteristics that are
interpreted to accompany gold mineralization, and allowed us to identify what the future work
programmes will consist of and prioritise these programmes on each of the targets to be tested. The work
has confirmed our prior view that the Tembo project contain s many targets characterized by structural
attributes that may host gold mineralization. The detailed work programmes and budgets are now under
preparation and will be launched shortly.”
A stringent QA/QC practice is being applied to all sample batches. A Verified Reference Material standard
is inserted in every 20th sample, a known blank or blank standard every 20 th sample and all samples with
assays greater than 0.5g/t are re-assayed. 1% of all samples are submitted to an alternative laboratory for
check analysis. In addition to this practice, the laboratory adheres to an internal QA/QC procedure ,
including standard samples and repeats and blanks inserted independently.
