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.

The announcement from MTR this morning, link at BOP for full RNS:
26 September 2016
Metal Tiger Plc
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.

“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.

Metal Tiger prospers in improved mining investment climate
07:49 30 Sep 2016
Metal Tiger's results for the six months to June 2016 show considerable growth
The asset position of Metal Tiger PLC (LON:MTR) strengthened considerably during the first half of 2016, as the company continued to book gains on in a rising commodities and mining equities market.
The company’s net gain on investments in the half year to June 2016 amounted to £2.135 mln, as against £534,000 booked during the corresponding period a year ago.
Overall, investments held for trading amounted to £3.74 mln, up from £692,000 a year ago.
As at June 30 the company hand net cash of just over £800,000.
It means that net assets have almost tripled during the six months that have elapsed since the December year end, when they stood at just over £1.5 mln. The current net asset figure is just shy of £5.2 mln.

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!

Metal Tiger Plc
Botswana T3 Deposit, Excellent Metallurgical Results
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 Companys Joint Venture (JV) project with partners MOD Resources (ASX:MOD) in the Kalahari Copper Belt in Botswana (70% MOD Resources / 30% Metal Tiger).
The preliminary results of metallurgical testwork on composite samples of mineralisation from the Target 3 (T3) Resource project are provided below, along with an update on the T3 drilling status.
In addition, we would refer to the announcement released today by MOD Resources which contains images, graphs 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:
We are pleased to report very positive preliminary metallurgical testwork results for the copper and silver ore types constituting our T3 Mineral Resource.
These results bode well for the potential economics of the T3 Deposit, which is currently being assessed as part of our on-going scoping study; as well as showing very respectable copper and silver recoveries and concentrate grades the tests show the potential for relatively low power requirements to grind the ores.
Additional exploration work continues and we will be updating the market in the near term with a further update in this regard.

Metal Tiger Plc
Appointment of Financial Adviser and Broker to Secure Project Level Financing - Thailand
Metal Tiger plc (LON:MTR) the London Stock Exchange AIM listed investor in strategic natural resource opportunities is pleased to announce that it has appointed VSA Capital as Financial Adviser and Broker to secure project level financing in respect of the Companys Thai interests.
Key points:
.VSA to initiate investor research on Metal Tiger with a specific focus on the Thai interests;
.VSA will combine with SI Capital and Spark Advisory Partners to explore strategic options for the Companys Thai mineral opportunities either through IPO, reverse takeover or joint venture agreements;
.As part of the review of strategic options, VSA will also explore sources of project level financing for the Companys interests in Thailand;
.The Board believes that VSAs industry knowledge and access to capital in Asia will be of great assistance in this regard; and
.MTR and members of the Thai joint venture intend to conduct a preliminary roadshow in Hong Kong in the near term.
Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger said I am very pleased to announce the appointment of VSA Capital which will enable the Company to access strategic project level financing for Thailand and its investments in-country.
Metal Tiger was pleased to conclude the commercial agreement in respect of the Boh Yai and Song Toh silver-lead-zinc mines in Thailand. This agreement now enables us to explore corporate transactions that will provide this and other Thai projects with a platform to access their own funding as well as demonstrate the true value of each interest, which the board believe has not been properly reflected in the market value of the Company.
The Metal Tiger board are keen to see all the Companys current and future investing interests stand on their own feet commercially. This means project level financing and the introduction of vehicles through which the Company may realise the value created through its early support of these projects and consequently the Board will look to share some of that value through future distributions to shareholders.
In the specific case of Thailand, we believe there is an outstanding investment case for foreign investment in Thai resource opportunities, and Metal Tiger Thailand has the team in place to manage and advance such opportunities. Thailand has extensive geological potential, and with an appropriate due respect and regard for environmental protection and community support, we believe incoming capital will be well-rewarded for demonstrating belief and commitment in the opportunity to support Thai resource companies such as Metal Tiger Thailand.
About VSA Capital:
VSA is an international investment bank with offices in London and Hong Kong with extensive experience in private equity, mergers and acquisitions and alternative financing transactions for natural resources companies. VSA have assisted both private and public companies with transactions on several major exchanges.

Metal Tiger Plc
Strategic Update and Board Restructuring
Metal Tiger plc (LON:MTR) the London Stock Exchange AIM listed investor in strategic natural resource projects is pleased to announce an update with regard to the Companys strategic plans and an associated board restructuring.
Highlights:
• Metal Tiger’s core strategic plan is centred around the acquisition of high potential mineral exploration and development opportunities through its Metal Projects division. The Company’s ultimate objective is to distribute the material value created to shareholders through cash and equity distributions;
• Metal Tiger is applying to the High Court for, subject to shareholders ratification at a General Meeting, a cancellation of the existing Share Premium Account (termed a Capital Reduction) enabling the Company to undertake a distribution of cash or equity holdings to shareholders should circumstances present an opportunity to do so. By way of example this could arise if a current or future interest in the Metal Project division is sold for cash or equity, or if an interest is spun-out into an IPO or reverse-takeover vehicle. Shareholders should be aware that until a distribution is formally announced there is no certainty that any such distribution will occur;
• Details of the General Meeting to ratify the application to the High Court above will be provided to the market shortly. This General Meeting will also include a resolution allowing the Company to buy back its own shares with the intention of taking such shares into treasury or for cancellation as the Company’s board deems appropriate;
• The Company further intends to accelerate efforts to crystallise value from its new project pipeline that may also generate additional value for shareholders. This will be achieved by applying a dedicated portion of Company management and financial resources, in conjunction with that of external consultants, to efficiently investigate new opportunities for inclusion within the Metal Tiger portfolio or to be held through third party vehicles, including but not restricted to investee companies;
• To undertake the latter, the Metal Tiger Asset Trading division is to expand and will from today’s date encompass the following activities: ◦ management of existing Asset Trading division equity, warrant and royalty investment activities;
◦ continuation of initiatives to secure value crystallisation from existing Metal Project interests with any value crystallised to initially sit with Asset Trading pending a decision to distribute to shareholders; and
◦ implementation of measures to secure value from new project pipeline with projects considered for inclusion within the Company’s Metal Projects division, or third party vehicles including investee companies.
• Metal Tiger is to restructure its board with Alex Borrelli, current Non-executive director to become Chief Executive Officer with effect from 17 October 2016 and holding responsibility for overall management and administration of the Company;
• Concurrently, Paul Johnson to step down from the board with effect from 17 October 2016 to undertake a senior consultancy role for Metal Tiger assisting with management of the Asset Trading division. The role will be specifically focused on new project pipeline development and the crystallisation of value from current and pipeline interests, enabling distributions to shareholders to be considered. In addition Mr Johnson will also assist the Company with regard to public and investor relations to ensure the communications strategy employed by the Company to date is maintained; and
• Metal Tiger intends to appoint an additional Non-executive director in the near term.
Paul Johnson, outgoing Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger commented “I am very pleased to announce this restructuring. Given the progress achieved, it is the view of the Board that it is paramount to have the CEO role undertaken by someone with the management skills, discipline and market recognition needed to pursue significant growth of the Company’s valuation and increase the extent of institutional engagement with the Company.
Alex Borrelli has the right mix of leadership skills and market presence and I am delighted he is willing and able to take on this role. I say this having worked with Alex for two years and with my family holding 9,600,000 MTR shares and 15,830,000 options.
I am delighted to move into this senior consultancy role for the company, assisting with the new project pipeline, value crystallisation and asset trading which is where I wish to spend my time, generating value for shareholders. I will also be working with Alex for at least a further 12 months, assisting with public and investor relations.
I believe we are entering into a particularly exciting phase for the Company and I intend to devote considerable personal time to develop Company interests where to date, with the heavy administrative and managerial responsibilities of running the public company, I have not been able to focus.”
Alex Borrelli, incoming Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger plc commented: “I am delighted to take the position of Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger and am honoured by the trust the Company has placed in me as I take on this role.
Metal Tiger is a unique company, having been brought to its current strong position by a team of energetic management drivers, who have worked with the incisive project knowledge demonstrated by our Chairman Terry Grammer, to access highly valuable opportunities in Botswana, Spain and Thailand each of which offers, in the view of the board, considerable upside potential.
With the key business interests now in place the Company needs to focus and drive the value in each separately. This is a considerable management commitment and the Board recognise that to maximise the return for shareholders there must be a focused management approach. This restructuring provides that focus for Metal Tiger plc.”

Botswana Extension Drilling Underway for Low Cost T3 Discovery
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 Companys Joint Venture (JV) project with partners MOD Resources (ASX:MOD) in the Kalahari Copper Belt in Botswana (70% MOD Resources / 30% Metal Tiger).
An estimate of the total cost of discovery for the Target 3 (T3) Resource is provided below, along with details of the T3 extension drilling which has commenced.
In addition, we would refer to the announcement released today by MOD Resources which contains images, graphs and diagrams that may assist readers in an understanding of the project. This announcement can be viewed through the following link:

Paul Johnson Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger commented:
With the completion of the maiden Resource at T3, the joint venture has taken the opportunity to take stock of our investment in T3 to date. The T3 deposit has been taken from a discrete copper in soil anomaly, through initial RC drilling confirmation, and subsequent diamond hole drill-out, to a JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate in only 6 months, demonstrating real value for a relatively modest spend.
As we continue to explore the T3 Dome and extend the T3 Resource, the exploration team will continue to carefully manage the programme in order to maximise the potential exploration returns.
This exploration potential includes the current prospect of a drill hole confirming further significant copper associated with the strong IP geophysics anomaly located immediately down-dip, below, the current T3 Resource.
Highlights:
•Work has commenced on testing possible T3 Resource extensions and on other targets, prospective for T3 vein type mineralisation, situated along the T3 Dome. The first drill target is the large IP (Induced Polarisation) anomaly interpreted 500m down dip from the T3 resource (see below).
•Total all-in cost of the T3 Deposit, in the 6 months from discovery to 350Kt Cu maiden Resource, calculated at US$1.7M, equivalent to only US$0.22 / pound of contained copper in the Mineral Resource Estimate.
•The very low discovery cost and relatively modest investment in the T3 Resource definition has generated significant value for the MOD/MTR joint venture.
•2016 Q4 exploration work will include investigating a number of IP geophysics targets, soil geochemistry anomalies and structural targets.
Exploration Detail
•Drilling has commenced on the first IP geophysics target; a large anomaly interpreted to be 500m down-dip of the T3 Resource. This diamond drill hole will target the same zone as previously drilled hole MO-T3U-01D, which failed to intersect the IP target due to drill-string deviation, some 200m above the target.
•MO-T3U-01D previously intersected 20m @ 0.4% Cu & 6g/t Ag, including 0.8m @ 2.5% Cu & 37g/t Ag from 473m down hole depth, within the same host sedimentary sequence as the T3 mineralisation.
•Assays are currently awaited for the 5 in-fill holes drilled within the high-grade core of the T3 Resource. Regional soil sampling is on-going.
Competent Persons
The T3 Prospect geological data and exploration results have been reviewed and approved by Jacques Janse van Rensburg, BSc (Hons), Technical Adviser and Competent Person for MOD Resources Ltd. The Competent Person for the Mineral Resource estimation and classification of the T3 Copper/Silver Project is Mr A.I. Pretorius, MSc. Pri.Sci.Nat.
Location
The T3 Prospect is located on the Kalahari Copper Belt in northern Botswana and is part of the MOD/MTR joint venture Botswana Copper/Silver Project. T3 is located approximately 70km NE of the projects Tshimologo (T4) Prospect and is located parallel to the same structural trend known as the Mahumo Structural Corridor, that hosts MODs Mahumo Project (circa 20km NE of T3) and Cupric Capitals Banana Zone Deposit (60km NE) and Zone 5 Project (120km NE).

Metal Tiger's T3 discovery shows good value for modest spend
13:21 10 Oct 2016
Total all-in-cost over the six months has been US$1.7mln, or US$0.22 per pound of contained copper
Metal Tiger PLC (LON:MTR) said its T3 copper discovery in Botswana has demonstrated good value for a modest spend.
The prospect is 30% owned by Metal Tiger and 70% by Aussie-listed partner MOD Resources and has been taken to a JORC resource of 350,000 tonnes of copper in just six months.
Total all-in-cost over that period has been US$1.7mln, or US$0.22 per pound of contained copper, Metal Tiger revealed.
By way of comparison, the current copper price is around US$2.15 a pound.
Meanwhile, the joint venture is continuing to explore the area and aiming to expand the resource and drilling has now begun on the first IP geophysics target.
This is a large anomaly, 500 metres down-dip from the T3 resource and the diamond hole will target the same zone as previously drilled hole MO-T3U-01D - which failed to intersect the IP target due to a drilling issue around 200 metres above the target.
Hole MO-T3U-01D previously hit 20 metres at 0.4% copper and 6 g/t (grammes per tonne) silver, including 0.8 metres at 2.5% copper and 37 grammes per tonne silver from 473m down hole depth, within the same host sedimentary sequence as the T3 mineralisation.
Elsewhere, assays are awaited for the five in-fill holes drilled within the high-grade core of the T3 resource, while regional soil sampling is on-going.
Earlier on Monday, Metal Tiger unveiled a restructuring, which sees a new chief executive appointed and current chief Paul Johnson step down to oversee the expansion of the asset trading business.
Current non-exec director Alex Borrelli will become chief executive on October 17.
On the same date, Johnson will start as senior consultant for the group, assisting with managing the asset trading division.
