Michael McNeilly Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger commented: “As we continue to make good progress with the T3 Open Pit Feasibility Study we are pleased to report that the preliminary results from the T3 Phase 2 Infill and Expansion Case drilling programme are very encouraging showing the potential that the overall Mineral Resource at T3 can be increased and giving confidence to the Open Pit Expansion Case ore processing model.Preliminary modelling shows that the total mineralisation intersected by drilling to date extends well outside the Resource announced on 24 August 2017 and we are looking forward to the results of the next Resource upgrade scheduled for early June”

Metal Tiger plc (LON:MTR), the London Stock Exchange AIM listed investor in strategic natural resource opportunities, is pleased to provide an update regarding the Company’s Joint Venture project with partner MOD Resources Limited ASX:MOD in the Kalahari Copper Belt in Botswana (70% MOD Resources/30% Metal Tiger).
