Cobre: 6,000 Meter Drilling Campaign to Commence at Perrinvale
Project
Metal Tiger plc (AIM:MTR), the London Stock Exchange AIM listed
investor in natural resource opportunities, is pleased to announce
that Cobre Limited (ASX: CBE) ("Cobre"), in which Metal Tiger own a
19.99% interest, has today announced the details of its planned
6,000 metre drilling campaign at the Perrinvale Volcanic-Hosted
Massive Sulphide ("VHMS") Project located in Western Australia.

Cobre's upcoming drill programme includes 3,400 metres of
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling and 2,600 metres of Diamond
Drilling (DD). The field crews have begun mobilising to site in
preparation for the arrival of drill rigs later this month. The
first DD holes are expected to commence at Zinco Lago and first RC
holes at Schwabe.
The key targets of this exploration drilling campaign will
be:
-- to further explore the VHMS mineralisation modelled by the soon to be
completed Moving Loop Electromagnetic ("MLEM") surveys at the Schwabe
Prospect by RC drilling, which will be followed by step-out DD holes;
-- to drill two diamond core holes at the Zinco Lago Prospect to test the
potential of the primary sulphides identified in the previous drilling
campaign, which indicated a massive sulphide or highly graphitic
lithology;
-- to drill the Zinco Rame prospect, which is the central part of a trend
between Zinco Lago and Lago Rame identified as part of the recent MLEM
program;
-- to drill new VHMS targets at Piega del West and Costa del Islas; and
-- potentially drill the Ponchiera Copper and Ponchiera North prospects,
following the results of the ongoing MLEM survey.
Michael McNeilly, Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger plc,
commented:
"Following the exceptional drilling results in the initial
exploration programmes, Cobre has already proven the multi
commodity potential at Perrinvale. With this new phase however, we
look forward to potentially expanding upon that potential as Cobre
drills existing prospect discoveries, as well as testing multiple
new prospects at new locations. We look forward to receiving
further news from the campaign and to updating shareholders as
drilling progresses."

Metal Tiger plc is admitted to the AIM market of the London
Stock Exchange AIM Market ("AIM") with the trading code MTR and
invests in high potential mineral projects with a base, precious
and strategic metals focus.
The Company'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

and Direct Projects.
The Direct Equities Division invests in undervalued natural
resource companies. The majority of its investments are listed on

Sandfire Resources Limited (ASX: SFR). The Company also considers
selective opportunities to invest in private natural resource
companies, typically where there is an identifiable path to IPO.
Through the trading of equities and warrants, Metal Tiger seeks to
generate cash for investment in the Direct Projects Division.
The Direct Projects Division is focused on the development of
its key project interests in Botswana, where Metal Tiger has a
growing interest in the large and highly prospective Kalahari
copper/silver belt through its interest in Kalahari Metals
Limited.
The Company actively assesses new investment opportunities on an
on-going basis and has access to a diverse pipeline of new
opportunities in the natural resources and mining sectors. For
pipeline opportunities deemed sufficiently attractive, Metal Tiger
may invest in the project or entity by buying publicly listed
shares, by financing privately and/or by entering into a joint
venture.
