/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
TORONTO, Feb. 21, 2012 /CNW/ - Tembo Gold Corp. ("Tembo" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it completed the closing of the non-brokered component of its previously announced private placement by issuing 1,402,000 units of the Corporation (the "Units") at a price of $1.00 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,402,000 (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit consists of one common share ("Common Share") of the Corporation and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $1.75 on or before December 29, 2014.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Corporation paid commissions to the finders on a portion of the Private Placement, including the payment of $86,800 in cash and the issuance of 7,490 Units, collectively equal to 7% of the gross proceeds attributable to such finders, and the issuance of 94,290 non-transferable broker warrants ("Broker Warrants") to such finders, being equal to 7% of the Units issued pursuant to the Private Placement attributable to the finders. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $1.00, at any time up to 4:30 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 24 months from issuance. The Corporation also paid Access Capital Corp. an overriding finder's fee equal to 2% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement, which was paid by the issuance 26,940 Units.
In addition, the Corporation issued 46,296 units for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,000, each unit consisting of one Common Share and one half of one common share purchase warrant, which warrant entitles the holder to purchase until 4:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on September 16, 2013 one fully paid and non-assessable Common Share at a price of $0.81 per Common Share. The 46,296 units were issued to a single subscriber that had subscribed for units in respect of the September 16, 2011 private placement of the Corporation, but which units were not issued due to an administrative error.
The Common Shares (inclusive of the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and Broker Warrants), Warrants and Broker Warrants issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a four month hold period which will expire four months from the date of issuance. Tembo intends to use the net proceeds raised from the Private Placement for exploration and development of its Tembo gold project in Tanzania and for general working capital purposes.
The Corporation is also pleased to announce that the Common Shares will commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") on February 22, 2012 under the trading symbol "TEM".
