The Tembo Project
Exploration results suggest a highly prospective area that is under-drilled
- Airborne magnetics
– Defines the extent of the greenstone geology that hosts gold mineralisation – Confirms geological continuity with the area to the southeast – Clearly defines magnetic structures corresponding to artisanal mining activity and Indicates there are >100km of potential structures
- Geochemistry
– Soils, RAB/aircore, and pitting – Widespread distribution of scattered anomalous gold values – Transported cover up to 10m thick masks geology and precludes strong cohesive anomalies

Historical Exploration
Significant artisanal activity further confirms gold mineralization
- Over 2,000 artisanal miners operating over 100 active mine shafts
- More than 2,800 shafts located along Bulyanhulu parallel, east-west, and
northwest trending structures totaling over 10km of artisanal mining zones
- Mining to depths generally in excess of 30m and reportedly as deep as 90m
- Milling on site, with grades ranging between 5 and 58 g/t gold
TSX-V: TEM / FSE: T23 www.TemboGold.com 12
Artisanal Activity
2011 LIDAR survey identifies over 10km of artisanal mining zones
- LIDAR survey and field mapping
– Digital terrain model (DTM) and high resolution orthophoto identified numerous previously unrecorded areas
- f mining
– Individual laterally continuous zones of mining shafts extend up to 2km in strike and for a total of >10km – The zones correspond to conjugate structures reflected in the magnetics
- Artisanal mining
– Mineralized rock from artisanal pits consists predominantly of quartz vein and sheared meta-volcanic host with abundant evidence of sulphide – Grades ranging between 5 and 58g/t gold returned from artisanal face sampling

Preliminary metallurgical test work indicates ~90-95% gold recoveries
- Gold Deportment Procedure
– Artisanal face samples grouped and composited into low, medium and high- grade – Amenability to gravity recovery tested by Knelson concentrator – Mineralogical characterisation of gold established – Gold exposure and grainsize determined – Diagnostic leach of gravity tails and direct cyanidation of bulk sample
- Test Work Results
– Gold is well liberated and well exposed – Direct cyanidation of head samples indicates high gold recoveries for medium (94.7%) and high grade (98.9%) composites but low recovery (87.3%) for low grade composite – Gravity recovery plus direct cyanidation of gravity tails would be an effective method to recover the gold
