(TSX-V: TEM; FRANKFURT: T23) (\"Tembo\" or the \"Company) is pleased to announce further results from the 2014 drilling program at the Nyakagwe Village target on the Tembo Project in the Lake Victoria goldfield of Tanzania. \n\n \n \nNYAKAGWE VILLAGE HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:\n\n \n \n\n\n-TDD0111: 35.14g/t Au over 2.45m including 167g/t Au over 0.50m from 53.35m. This drill hole intersected 100m east of TDD0107 and 100m west of TDD0071; and\n\n\n\n-TDD0115: 2.74g/t Au over 8.50m from 53.00m including 7.73g/t Au over 1.00m, 3.43g/t over 1.40m and 4.04g/t over 2.00m; and 2.04g/t Au over 9.00m from 69.00m including 2.89m over 4.80m.\n\n\n\n \n \nDavid Scott President & CEO stated, \"The 2014 drilling program has once again returned promising results that confirm the potential for wide low-grade near-surface mineralization and narrow high-grade mineralization, and has further demonstrated the extensive hidden potential of the project in the numerous unexploited untested magnetic lineaments that are potential hosts to gold mineralization\".\n\n \n \nNyakagwe Village\n\n\n \nThe potential of the Nyakagwe Village target was initially indicated by a new artisanal mining operation that commenced in 2011 located immediately to the east of the village in a corn land. These workings exploit a previously unknown east-west-trending set of south dipping quartz veins. Within a year a large number of shafts were sunk by the miners to access these high-grade shear-hosted veins. Subsequently a large open pit was excavated to facilitate easier and deeper access. Mining has recently been stopped due to excessive water ingress and rock hardness at depths thought to be close to 50m. \n\n\n \nInitial drilling beneath these workings in 2012 returned two significant intersections in TDD0107: 16.58g/t Au over 3.55m from 43.88m and 27.88g/t Au over 3.00m from 65.90m (previously announced Sept 11, 2012). Follow-up drilling at the time, and the 2014-drilling program has aimed to intersect these veins at depth and along strike to the east. The 2014 results have included: TDD0071: 9.64g/t Au over 3.95m from 85.25m, including 24.72g/t Au over 1.45m; TDD01...
