Metal Tiger shares up as it increases stake in Greatland Gold
12:04 22 Sep 2016

Earlier this week, Greatland reported anomalous levels of metal typical of a polymetallic VMS-type system at its Bromus project



Shares in resource investor Metal Tiger PLC (LON:MTL) added over 8% as it increased its holding in Australia-focused Greatland Gold plc (LON:GGP).

Metal now holds 9.56% of Greatland's capital, having bought a further 6mln shares at 0.174p.

Earlier this week, Greatland reported anomalous levels of metal typical of a polymetallic VMS-type system at its Bromus project in Western Australia.

Notable grades of silver, zinc, cadmium and sulphur were unearthed with low level nickel intercepts as well.

Metal's chief executive Paul Johnson said today: "Metal Tiger has noted the decline in the share price of Greatland Gold and reflecting what we consider to be an oversold situation have increased our position accordingly.

"We consider Greatland Gold to have multiple opportunities for considerable value generation for shareholders both in respect of existing projects and any new ventures with which the company may seek to engage."

Separately, it said that its partner in Botswana MOD Resources (ASX:MOD) entered a trading halt on the Australian stock exchange, pending the release of a maiden JORC resource for the T3 target in the Kalahari copper belt.

Metal Tiger Plc

Thailand Permitting Progress Update

Metal Tiger plc (LON:MTR) the London Stock Exchange AIM listed investor in strategic natural resource opportunities is pleased to announce positive developments in respect of permitting applications being submitted by our Joint Venture partner, Metal Tiger Thailand (MTT) and in respect of the national exploration programme currently underway.

Highlights:

Experienced permitting team now established in Bangkok office;
Commencement of mine permitting process officially underway;
Positive advancement in Exploration Department of Special Prospecting Licence Applications in multiple provinces; and
Subject to granting of Special Prospecting Licenses Thai geological team gearing up to commence exploration work in respect of existing and new licence areas.

Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger commented Metal Tiger was pleased to announce during August the commercial agreement in respect of the Boh Yai and Song Toh silver-lead-zinc mines. This agreement marked a major step forward for the Company and its Joint Venture partners in the plan to commence the permitting process for mining lease applications for the 43-101 Compliant Resource of 4,851,000 tonnes and thereafter mine and existing processing plant refurbishment leading to commercial production.

In addition to the latter mines Metal Tiger has exposure to a proactive national exploration programme in Thailand which is making major progress pursuing existing interests and identifying new opportunities.

This announcement provides details of latest developments in this national programme, but is only a small part of the forward news flow we anticipate from Thailand exploration work in the remainder of 2016. Further updates will therefore by definition follow.

Metal Tiger is privileged to be investing in Thailand, a country which offers tremendous geological opportunity. The Thai Joint Venture office is recruiting more Thai professional and administration staff whose energy, dynamism and commitment is invigorating. We are helping to build an ambitious Thai business that has been initially financed through London, but where we anticipate Asian finance will increasingly play a part in financing local activities.

ANNOUNCES SUBSTANTIAL MAIDEN RESOURCE AT T3

 Maiden resource completed within six months of discovery at T3

 Total mineral resource of 28.36Mt @ 1.24% Cu and 15.7g/t Ag containing
~350kt copper (~772Mlbs copper) and 14.27Moz silver (using a 0.5% Cu
cut-off grade)

 Includes high grade core of 8.48Mt @ 2.16% Cu and 30.6g/t Ag containing

~183kt copper and 8.34Moz silver (using a 1.5% Cu cut-off grade)

 64% of the total resource tonnes are in the Indicated Resource category

 Results exceed MOD’s expectations and compare favourably on a global scale

 Resource remains open down dip and south west of current drilling

MOD Resources Ltd (ASX: MOD) is pleased to announce it has completed a substantial maiden copper/silver resource at T3 within six months of discovery.

T3 forms part of a joint venture between MOD Resources Ltd (70%) and AIM-listed Metal Tiger Plc (30%) in the Kalahari Copper Belt, Botswana.

Combined Indicated and Inferred resource estimates using 0.5% Cu cut-off consist of 28.36Mt @ 1.24% Cu and 15.7g/t Ag, containing approximately 350,200t Cu (~772Mlbs copper) and 14.27 million oz Ag. This includes a high-grade resource using 1.5% Cu cut-off grade which consists of 8.48Mt @ 2.16% Cu and 30.6g/t Ag, containing approximately 182,900t Cu and 8.34 million oz Ag (Table 1).

Importantly, 64% of the total resource tonnes are in the Indicated Resource category demonstrating the excellent continuity of the mineralisation drilled on a 100m by 100m grid pattern (Figure 2).

MOD Resources’ Managing Director, Mr Julian Hanna, said today’s news represented a tremendous milestone for the joint venture and a major step towards MOD’s objective of becoming a long-life, copper producer in Botswana.

“To be able to report 350,000 tonnes of contained copper and more than 14 million ounces of silver in the first resource from a new discovery in a relatively unexplored region is a great achievement for the whole team,” said Mr Hanna.

The unusual geometry of the T3 deposit with wide and continuous zones of shallow dipping mineralisation provides the opportunity for potential low cost open pit mining.

An additional bonus is the large amount of silver (>14Moz) which is expected to be able to be recovered into the copper concentrate, assuming the project goes into commercial production.

“Success at T3 has been achieved in a short time frame and to a very high standard - a credit to all the people on-site, including our many Botswana employees and contractors who have worked hard to achieve this excellent result,” Mr Hanna said.

Metal Tiger believes much more to come in Botswana after maiden resource
08:05 26 Sep 2016

The total included a high grade core of 182,900t copper and 8.34Moz silver



Metal Tiger plc (LON:MTR) has identified over 350,000 tonnes of copper so far at its T3 target in Botswana, according to a JORC resource published today.

Total resources were estimated at 28.36Mt at a grade of 1.24% copper and 15.7g/t of silver to give a resource for the prospect of approximately 350,200t.

That Total included a high grade core of 182,900t copper and 8.34Moz silver, while 64% of the total resource tonnes were classified in the higher confidence Indicated Resource category.

Metal Tiger owns 30% of the prospect in the Kalahari copper belt with joint venture partner and operator MOD Resources holding the remaining 70%.

Paul Johnson, Metal Tiger’s chief executive, said that he hoped further exploration would uncover more metal at the site.

“As the deposit remains open down-dip and along strike, where it is being targeted by current drilling, we look forward to the prospect of increasing and upgrading this initial resource.

“Furthermore, T3 is only the first of a series of high profile targets within the highly prospective region covered by the JV licences.

“There is significant likelihood of more discoveries to be made.”

Johnson added that the deposit was only discovered in March in a previously under-explored region and the fact that the majority of the Resource has been classified as Indicated is especially noteworthy.

Metal Tiger’s Botswana copper project moves towards the big leagues
11:53 26 Sep 2016

Significant tonnages are being revealed at the T3 copper project, only six months after its discovery



In double-quick time the T3 copper prospect in north eastern Botswana has gone from grass roots exploration to real development opportunity.

The T3 deposit was only discovered in March but already its owners - joint venture partners MOD Resources (ASX:MOD) and Metal Tiger PLC (LON:MTR) - have been able to prove up a resource of 350,000 tonnes of copper, more than half of it in the indicated category.

What’s more, there is a high grade core of 8.6 mln tonnes of ore grading 2.16% copper and 30.6 grams silver per tonne.

And there could be more to come. The resource remains open down dip and along strike, and the drill rigs are currently turning with a view to adding more resource before too long.

Meanwhile, an open pit mining scoping study is due in December. Already there are clear indications of the thinking of the partners.

“If the deposit is mined the central core of high-grade vein hosted mineralisation may provide an opportunity for early payback of capital,” Metal Tiger said in an update to market.

“The high silver content should provide significant concentrate credits.”

That will be music to the ears of mining investors with shorter-term horizons. But in the long-term what may turn out to be more interesting will be the results of the current drilling.

At 350,000 tonnes, T3 is already making some impact on the global scale. At one end, long-standing London copper miner, Atalaya Mining, is now fully operational on a smaller reserve and resource base.

But on the other hand, the largest undeveloped copper project in the world, which is widely thought to be the Udokan copper project in the Zabaikal region of Russia, boasts 16 mln tonnes of copper in contained reserves alone, never mind the resource.

How far MOD and Metal Tiger can move T3 away from comparisons to the smaller Atalaya resource and up towards the size of Udokan remains to be seen.

It’s worth noting that the combined reserves and resources of BCL, the state copper mining company at Botswana, are nearer in scale to T3, than to Udokan.

That’s no surprise given the shared geological setting, but it does mean that when it comes to development, T3 could end up as a big hitter in the Botswana copper mining scene.

However, further north, in the famous Copper Belt, the mines move into another league.

The KOV mine, held by Katanga has produced over 2 mln tonnes of copper over many decades of production, while the Tenke Fungurume mine held jointly by Lundin and Freeport (NYSE:FCX), holds a contained copper resource base of 3.8 mln tonnes.

Freeport has just inked a deal to sell its 80% stake in Tenke Fungurume to a Chinese company for US$2.65 bn in cash.

It’s quite some world to be moving into.

Botswana – T3, Substantial Maiden JORC Compliant Mineral Resource

Metal Tiger plc (LON:MTR) the London Stock Exchange AIM listed investor in strategic natural resource opportunities is pleased to provide an update with regard to the exploration programme at the Company’s Joint Venture (“JV”) project with partners MOD Resources (ASX:MOD) in the Kalahari Copper Belt in Botswana (70% MOD Resources / 30% Metal Tiger).

Details of the JORC compliant maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Target 3 (T3) Prospect, Phase 1 Resource Diamond Drilling Programme (the “Resource Programme”) are provided below.

In addition, we would refer to the announcement released today by MOD Resources which contains images and diagrams that may assist readers in an understanding of the project. This announcement can be viewed through the following link:

http://search.asx.com.au/s/search.html?query=mod&collection=asx-meta&profile=web

Paul Johnson Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger commented: “Together with MOD, our JV partners, we are very pleased to report the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for our T3 Prospect.

Considering that the deposit was only discovered in March of this year, in a previously under-explored region, it is a real credit to our exploration team and contractors that we have been able to take the project from a grassroots stage, soil anomaly, to defined JORC compliant Resource in only six months.

The fact that the majority of the Resource has been classified as Indicated is especially noteworthy, with indicated resource denoting a higher degree of confidence in the geological knowledge and being necessary for the consideration of economic viability.

With the release of this Resource the project has taken a big step towards our objective of it becoming a low cost, long life Botswanan copper producer.

As the deposit remains open down-dip and along strike, where it is being targeted by current drilling, we look forward to the prospect of increasing and upgrading this initial Resource and to the results of the open-pit mining scoping study due December.

Furthermore, T3 is only the first of a series of high profile targets within the highly prospective region covered by the JV licences. There is significant likelihood of more discoveries to be made and we look forward to providing further information in this regard, in the near future.”

Highlights:

• Total (Indicated & Inferred) Mineral Resource Estimate of 28.36Mt @ 1.24% Cu & 15.7g/t Ag for T3 Prospect, containing approximately 350,200t copper and 14.27Moz silver (at 0.5% copper cut-off grade). JORC compliant, maiden resource, resulting from the Phase 1 Resource Drilling Programme.

• Includes high grade core of 8.48Mt @ 2.16% Cu & 30.6g/t Ag, containing approximately 182,900t copper and 8.34Moz silver (at 1.5% Cu cut-off grade), see T3 Resource Table below.

• 64% of the total resource tonnes classified as Indicated Resource, remainder Inferred category.

• Resource potential remains open down dip to the northeast of the current resource envelope and along strike to the south-west.

• Mineral Resource has been defined along a 1.4km long strike length with the copper and silver sulphide mineralisation best described as a sheeted vein deposit dipping at 25 degrees to the north with a shallow north east plunge.

• Sulphide mineralisation dominated by mainly chalcopyrite with chalcocite and bornite copper sulphides occurring in lesser amounts, is very continuous extending from shallow depth (~35m depth) to the limit of drilling at ~274m depth. Minor copper oxide mineralisation occurs near surface between ~10-25m depth as malachite and chrysocolla.

• Geometry of the deposit, with wide zones of continuous shallow dipping mineralisation provides the potential for low-cost open-pit mining. If the deposit is mined the central core of high-grade vein hosted mineralisation may provide an opportunity for early payback of capital. The high silver content should provide significant concentrate credits.

• Drilling is currently testing for potential extensions to high grade veins north east of the resource and targeting an IP target approximately 500m down dip from the resource. Exploration will also step out along the T3 Dome and surrounding areas to test potential for other deposits of this type.

• T3 Phase One Mineral Resource Table:

“WE’VE ONLY SCRATCHED THE SURFACE” Metal Tiger sees a lot more potential for Botswana copper project
06:30 27 Sep 2016

We’ve only scratched the surface. This is an enormous region, full of mineralisation ... So we could add a lot more to it, potentially.”



Metal Tiger Plc (LON:MTR) boss Paul Johnson says the team are “jumping up and down” with excitement over the group’s emerging copper project in Botswana, where he believes it is still early days.

It has been a quick turnaround so far in Botswana for the company to reach a key milestone with the announcement of a maiden resource in excess of 350,000 tonnes.

“It has been about six months to go from anomalous soil samples through to drilling and then all the way through to a fully JORC compliant maiden resource,” Johnson said in an interview with Proactive Investors.

The maiden resource exceeded expectations, with the majority (64%) in the higher confidence ‘indicated’ resource category. “It is a much better quality of resource categorisation and [it] increases the inherent value of what’s found,” Johnson added.



“You can use an indicated resource in all the studies that [companies] have to take leading up to mining, so we’re delighted.

“We’ve only scratched the surface. This is an enormous region, full of mineralisation and we have multiple targets and the targets keep on increasing as we keep on doing work on the ground.”

“So we could add a lot more to it, potentially.”

MOD Resources announces substantial maiden copper resource in Botswana
27 September 2016

MOD Resources has announced a substantial maiden copper-silver resource at its T3 copper deposit just six months after its discovery.

ASX-listed copper junior MOD Resources has declared a maiden mineral resource of 28.36 Mt containing about 350 200 t of copper and 14.27 Moz of silver.

The combined Indicated and Inferred resource estimates using a 0.5% copper cut-off, consist of 28.36 Mt grading at 1.24% copper and 15.7 g/t silver, containing approximately 350 200 t of copper (~772 Mlbs copper) and 14.27 Moz of silver. This includes a high-grade resource using a 1.5% copper cut-off grade, which consists of 8.48 Mt grading at 2.16% copper and 30.6 g/t silver, containing approximately 182 900 t of copper and 8.34 Moz of silver.

The T3 copper-silver deposit, which is located in the Kalahari Copper Belt in Botswana, forms part of a joint venture between MOD Resources (70%) and AIM-listed Metal Tiger (30%).

“This news represented a tremendous milestone for the joint venture and a major step towards MOD’s objective of becoming a long-life, copper producer in Botswana,” says MOD Resources MD Julian Hanna .

“To be able to report 350 000 t of contained copper and more than 14 Moz of silver in the first resource from a new discovery in a relatively unexplored region is a great achievement for the whole team,” says Hanna.

MOD Resource says 64% of the total resource tons are in the Indicated Resource category, demonstrating the excellent continuity of the mineralisation, adding that the results exceed MOD’s expectations and compare favourably on a global scale.

The compnay notes that T3 appears to be a distinctive geological model which it will target for further possible discoveries elsewhere along the interpreted 25 km-long T3 Dome. The T3 resource remains open down dip northeast of the deposit and along strike south west of the deposit.

CEO Interview: Metal Tiger Plc - Crystallising revenue & delivering shareholder value
Published on Sep 30, 2016
In today’s CEO interview segment, Tip TV’s Beth Payne and Charlie Gibson, Head of Mining at Edison Research talk to Paul Johnson, CEO of Metal Tiger who details company’s objective – crystallize revenue on existing assets, explore exciting projects and ultimately deliver value to shareholders.

General interest:

Majors are on the hunt for new metal

This time around, majors are not interested in size. They want value.

Conversations and conferences of late have reinforced a few factors that define today’s young mining bull market.

Majors Are On the Hunt

Talking to executives from junior companies, one comment just keeps surfacing: they are seeing overwhelming interest from majors. What that means is major miners – Newmont and Barrick and Goldcorp and Agnico, etc. – are meeting these junior companies to assess their projects, with an unmasked eye towards making deals.

The amount of interest makes sense. It’s been over a decade since major miners have looked down their project pipelines and found them bare. Sure, the blind focus on growing production (rather than making money…) meant the big boys were still making deals late in the last cycle, but in general those deals added big assets to portfolios already brimming with smaller opportunities.

Now, after selling almost everything to survive the bear market, majors need to start restocking the pipeline again.

Usually that process starts with new production and near-development stories, but there just aren’t very many such assets around. The bear market derailed so many projects that only a small number are ready to be built or are newly operational. Majors are circling these opportunities but, because they know competition will be stiff, they are also going straight to exploration-stage opportunities.

This theme was overwhelming at a recent conference. Every junior – from project generators to single asset explorers, from companies focused on North America to those with assets in Eastern Europe or South America – every one spent more time meeting with majors than meeting with investors. The majors were there with big teams and those teams clearly had mandates to look high and low for opportunities.

This kind of major interest matters, but don’t expect a wave of M&A. Instead, we are going to see a wave of partnerships – joint ventures and equity investments that give majors a foot in the door with assets they like. And while such deals aren’t as exciting for the market as takeouts, they are important because they make it possible for juniors to advance their projects quickly and to focus on exploration instead of where and how to find capital.

Optionality Offers Leverage, But Little More

Optionality plays have done very well in gold’s run to date. Investors have piled into the idea of leveraging gold via a portfolio of projects with significant ounces in the ground.

That leverage will remain. And leverage to a rising price is a big enough win  for many. However, if a win for you means a takeout or a construction decision, optionality isn’t the right game.

This time around, majors are not interested in size. They want value. Goldcorp did not buy Kaminak because a mine at Coffee would impact its production profile significantly; they bought it because Coffee will be an economically robust mine that will help Goldcorp’s bottom line.

Value accretive assets are the name of today’s game. That means things like infrastructure, metallurgy, social license, design complexity, and costs really matter. Large deposits with challenges in these areas are not of interest. They may yet come back into vogue, but if they do it will not be for a while. Majors destroyed so much capital buying for size without focusing on practical value in the last cycle that the focus on value accretive assets will stick around for quite a while.

Juniors are Gaining Confidence

Juniors are gaining confidence that capital is available. It has taken time for that confidence to establish, which is why so many juniors initially planned only small drill programs this year – they were still in full capital conservation mode.

Now they see oversubscribed financings left and right, backing everything from advanced assets to grassroots exploration and from the revival of old projects to new discoveries. The confidence means drill programs are being expanded, new targets are being tested, and new partnerships or acquisitions are being inked.

Most moves are still small relative to the exploration programs or deals we see when things are hot, but they are a heck of a lot bigger than they were six months ago, let alone a year ago.

Those Active Now Will Win Later

The bear market was tough. Lots of companies went into complete hibernation; lots of people left the sector. It takes time for companies to get going again from standstill and for people to insert themselves back into the sector.

That’s ok; it’s part of the process. But the companies and people who stayed alive through it are leading the pack today.

Companies that stayed alive are reaping the rewards of their bear market efforts. The efforts were often directed at tasks that could be accomplished, like advancing engineering or metallurgy or permitting or social license. Not sexy stuff – but when the market is so turned off that stocks fall on hot drill results, it makes sense to focus on the boring.

And now, with that ‘boring’ stuff well in hand, the companies that persevered have options.

The benefits of staying active extend beyond obvious corporate achievements. A constant topic of conversation today is who is working with whom to buy what – and who else is trying to buy the same asset. Competition to buy ounces in Nevada, for example, is very stiff, but groups are racing each other to buy assets in Nova Scotia, Romania, Mexico, and Ghana, among other places.

The competition is not limited to assets either – groups with cash to deploy are competing for equity stakes in good juniors. The conclusion: the companies and people active today offer the best odds of success as this bull gets going. Place your bets!
