In the dry words of CEO David Scott, "It has been a long wait, now let's make it work!" Tembo management has persevered and preserved the assets as well as the share structure! The Barrick deal undoubtedly marks a new beginning for Tembo. The Barrick coup is also the reward for patience and perseverance over the past eight years, during which political reasons more or less forced Tembo to inactivity. The gold explorer now has around CAD 10 million in its coffers and, on top of that, gains Barrick as a strategic investor. For Tembo, the deal with Barrick is simply transformative. The transfer of the licenses could only become effective after the approval of all Tanzanian authorities involved. Summary: An agonizingly long four months have passed since Tembo Gold and Barrick Gold signed their agreement for the sale of licenses and intent to participate. We expect and hope that a number of significant new discoveries will be made that will benefit the investing companies as well as the surrounding communities and this mining-friendly country of Tanzania." The deal with Barrick allows us to move forward in earnest with our exploration strategy.

Tembo retains its core license, on which all exploration activity from the last two drilling campaigns has been conducted and on which there remain a significant number of untested new targets, as well as the three main targets on which the majority of drilling has been conducted.ĭavid Scott, President & CEO of Tembo, stated, "This agreement is an important milestone in the progress of Tembo's exploration in the license area, which the Company has long regarded as one of the most prospective in the Lake Victoria goldfield, and a clear confirmation of the oft-stated potential for a significant gold discovery in the area. The licenses sold are in areas where Tembo has not previously focused its exploration activities. In the most favorable case for Tembo, the payment could be $45,000,000. In the event that Barrick is successful in its exploration efforts, Tembo will be entitled to additional payments calculated based on the resources then identified in the Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories. In addition, by acquiring the licenses, Barrick commits to invest at least $9 million over the next four years in exploration of the acquired properties.
