Tembo Reports the Commencement of the Initial Phase of the 2022 Diamond Drilling Program at Ngula 1

TEMBO REPORTS THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE INITIAL PHASE OF THE 2022 DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAM

AT NGULA 1

June 13, 2022, Vancouver, BC – Tembo Gold Corp. (TSX. v:TEM) ("Tembo", or the "Company") – is pleased to

announce that the first drilling of the 2022 program, at the Tembo project in the Lake Victoria goldfield in

Tanzania, has commenced at the Ngula 1 target.

Highlights

• Diamond drilling has commenced at Ngula 1 where 4 drill holes comprising 970 m have been planned in

this initial phase.

• Targeting previous good gold analytical results, the drill holes are aimed to define structural controls to

enable further targeted depth and strike extent drilling.

• The holes being followed up are: TDD0041-22.18 g/t Au over 15.00 m from 299.00 m; TDD0054-8.17 g/t

Au over 11.05 m from 116.96 m ; TDD0004-3.13 g/t Au over 25.89 m from 41.00m including 4.46g.t Au

over 2.60m and 9.38g/t Au over 6.30m; and TDD0004.

Four diamond-cored drill holes, comprising approximately 970 m of drilling, have been planned for the initial

drilling at the Ngula 1 target. Refer to the figure below.

Figure 1: Ngula 1 – Initial Phase Drilling Program

The first drillhole collared on 9 June 2022.

The drill holes are aimed to confirm the geological continuity and distribution of the mineralization, as well as to

obtain comprehensive structural data to better understand, interpret and define the structural features that are

controlling the distribution of Au, and the attitude and morphology of the mineralized zones, ultimately enabling

a targeted resource drilling program to follow. A summary of the intended purpose of each drill hole is indicated

in the table below.

the SW-NE trending lineaments.

Tembo Exploration Manager, John Fleming, stated “ We are excited to see the results of the drilling, not only do

we expect to gain a better understanding of the structural complexities but also to achieve improved confidence

in the continuity of the mineralized zones . The aforementioned will go a long way in assisting the team in the

planning of additional drill holes that will ultimately allow for the development of a maiden resource estimation

for Ngula 1.”

Tembo President & CEO, David Scott, stated, “Tembo is back on the ground and drilling has commenced! The field

team have been active , relogging the critical boreholes to familiarize themselves with the geology , and be sure

they are well prepared for the core as it is received. Ngula 1 is at this stage our priority 1 target and the drilling of

these holes should be completed within a month to six weeks.”

The above information has been prepared by John Fleming, Pr. Sci. Nat., who is designated as a "Qualified Person"

with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity and validity of the data.

QA/QC

A stringent QA/QC practice is applied to all sample batches. A Verified Reference Material standard is inserted

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

the laboratory adhere s to an internal QA/QC procedure including standard samples and repeats and blanks

inserted independently.

Widths represent drill intersection widths not corrected for borehole inclination and dip of the geological zone.

True widths have not been determined. The borehole inclination of 60deg and sub vertical dip of the structures

suggests that the true width will be approximately 86% of the intersected width.

Boreholes have not been drilled in numerical sequence and not all boreholes in a sequence have necessarily

been drilled. Borehole numbers represent the original borehole identification assigned when planned.

No capping of high-grade values has been applied to the assay results.
