The above information has been prepared under the supervision of David Scott, Pr. The coarse residue and pulps are retained for further analysis and verification. In addition, the laboratory adheres to an internal QA/QC procedure including standard samples and repeats and blanks inserted independently. 1% of all samples are submitted to an alternative laboratory for check analysis. A Verified Reference Material standard is inserted every 20th sample, a known blank or blank standard every 20th sample and all samples with assays greater than 0.5 g/t Au are re-assayed. All samples are securely sealed and sample batches bagged for transport to SGS laboratories in Mwanza. This long-awaited re-commencement of exploration will be gratifying to all those who have cooperated to keep Tembo and its prospects alive."Ī QA/QC practice is applied to all sample batches.
The drill programme planned for 2022 will comprise 7,000m of diamond drilling and 5,000m of reverse circulation drilling.ĭavid Scott, President & CEO, stated, " With the signing of the recent license and share purchase agreements with Barrick Gold's subsidiary Bulyanhulu Mine, and the consequent funding following closure of the agreement once all regulatory approvals, and other closing conditions are met, we are eagerly looking forward to seeing drills on the ground and exploration activity on our ground and the neighboring licenses. The drillholes will target structural orientation of the mineralised structures and then follow these mineralised zones up and down dip and along strike, aiming to develop a resource model when sufficient data has been collected.Īdditional drill holes will also test new targets identified by the recent GoldSpot target generation exercise (please see press release dated June 1, 2021) and it is anticipated that these holes will provide evidence of further potential through the collection of relevant data including alteration, mineralisation and structural control along identified structures. Preliminary drillhole planning for the priority target at Ngula 1 is in process with the initial holes planned to target follow up to drillhole TDD0041, which returned an exceptional result of 22.18g/t Au over an intersection width of 15.00m, drillhole TDD0054 with an intersection of 8.12g/t Au over 11.05m, TDD0005 with 8.5g/t Au over 5.14m, TDD0004 with 28.57g/t Au over 3.00m, TRC0013 with 17.23g/t Au over 3.00m, and a number of other encouraging holes.
The drill contractor will be establishing their camp adjoining that of the Company and share utility facilities including security, power and water.
The exploration camp refurbishment is ongoing and is scheduled for completion in mid-February, with the core yard, office, and accommodation facilities fully functional.
