-----------------------------------  ------------------  ---------------- 
 

Cameron Parry CEO of Metal Tiger plc commented "The Board of Metal Tiger believe that there is a historic opportunity emerging in the natural resource sector to build a portfolio of interests at an extremely low valuation point in the resources cycle. This includes investment opportunities in exploration/development projects on the ground with considerable potential and also in listed resource equities which are experiencing a shortage of capital, in many cases despite viable and exciting business assets.

By exercising options now we have further aligned Board and shareholder interests and demonstrated our commitment to the Company and belief in the emerging business model of Metal Tiger. When combined with Paul Johnson's GBP14,500 on-market purchase of shares announced 6 July 2015, this option exercise means Company directors have personally invested GBP61,200 in Metal Tiger shares, within the last week."

Director Shareholding and Remaining Options

Following this option exercise and the issue of shares outlined above the Board of Metal Tiger will hold the following shares and options in the Company:

Notes to Editors:

Metal Tiger Plc is a natural resources focused investing company quoted on the London Stock Exchange AIM Market ("AIM") with the trading code MTR and two investment divisions, Direct Equities and Direct Projects.

The Direct Equities division invests in quoted natural resource explorers and developers, with a combination of shares and warrants providing a potential non-debt financing instrument and enhanced return potential.

The Direct Projects division invests in operational mineral exploration projects with current investments in Spanish Gold & Tungsten, Thai Gold, Copper & Antimony, and Tanzanian Gold and Uranium. The Direct Projects investment division also has working collaborations to identify new investment opportunities in Russia (platinum focus) and Turkey (gold focus), in association with experienced in-country partners.

Metal Tiger's target is to deliver a high return for shareholders by investing in significantly undervalued and/or high potential opportunities in the mineral exploration and development sector timed to coincide where possible, with a cyclical recovery in the exploration and mining markets.
