Notes to Editors:
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
sector. Metal Tiger has two investment divisions: Equity
Investments and Project Investments.
Equity Investments invests in undervalued natural resource
companies. The majority of its investments are listed on AIM, the
TSX and the ASX, which includes its interest in 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 for the Project Investments division.
Project Investments 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.
