Metal Tiger Plc

Rejection of Indicative Offer


The Company announced on 25 November 2016 that it had received an indicative offer of 0.231 BMR Group plc (BMR or the Potential Offeror) shares for every 1 share in Metal Tiger share from BMR (the Indicative Offer).

The Company would now like to announce that its independent directors, Terry Grammer and Jordan Luckett (together the Independent Directors), have notified BMR that they will not be recommending the Indicative Offer to Metal Tiger shareholders on the basis that it fundamentally undervalues the Company.

The Independent Directors refer to the announcement made on 14 November 2016 in respect of its Joint Venture project with MOD Resources in the Kalahari Copper Belt in Botswana (70% MOD Resources / 30% Metal Tiger) in which Metal Tiger stated that MOD Resources (ASX:MOD) expects to announce the results of the scoping study for a potential open pit mining operation at T3 to be completed and announced during November 2016.

The Independent Directors recognise that there are synergies between the Companies that could benefit Metal Tiger and its shareholders and, in the event that a significantly improved indicative offer is received from BMR, they confirm that they are willing to enter into negotiations with BMR after the results of the scoping study have been announced.

The Independent Directors note that in accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Takeover Code"), BMR must, by not later than 5.00 p.m. on 23 December 2016 (the "relevant deadline"), either announce a firm intention to make an offer for the Company in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Takeover Code applies.

The Independent Directors have received financial advice from SPARK Advisory Partners Limited (SPARK) on the terms of the Indicative Offer. In providing thisadvice, SPARK has taken into account the commercial assessment of the Independent Directors.

This statement is being made by Metal Tiger without the prior agreement or approval of BMR. Shareholders should be aware that there can be no certainty that an offer will be made.

A further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.

Metal Tiger Plc

Directorate Change

Metal Tiger plc (LON:MTR) the London Stock Exchange AIM listed investor in strategic natural resources announces that Alex Borrelli (Chief Executive Officer) and Jordan Luckett (Technical Director) have resigned from the board of the Company, effective immediately.

Terry Grammer has agreed to step down from his role as Non-Executive Chairman and take on a non-executive director role.

The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Charles Hall as Non-Executive Chairman, Michael McNeilly as Chief Executive Officer, Paul Johnson as Non-Executive Director and Keith Springall as Finance Director and Company Secretary with immediate effect.

Michael McNeilly, incoming Chief Executive Officer commented: It has been a pleasure to work with Alex Borrelli and Jordan Luckett, both highly experienced and exceptionally talented individuals. Alex has made a tremendous contribution to the Company during his 5 years with the business, having helped lead the transition from Brady Exploration plc to Metal Tiger plc. In no uncertain terms the business would not be where it is today without him. I wish Alex the utmost success in his other business ventures and in particular BMR Group plc where he has done a great job in turning around the company. Jordan has been a valuable addition to the team and has given great technical insight on the two key projects, Botswana and Thailand. I look forward to continuing to work with Terry Grammer in his new role as non-executive director and he will continue to play an important role in the business going forward.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to step into this exciting andchallenging role and to work with the newly constituted board to deliver value to shareholders. Charles Hall has been a supportive shareholder of the company and brings with him a wealth of financial and business management experience. Keith Springall has been fundamental on the finance side of the business and will no doubt contribute further valuable strategic insight at the board level. It is also a tremendous pleasure to welcome back Paul Johnson, who previously served as the companys CEO where he was instrumental in building the company and its profile in the market.

I believe the Company is now in a unique position with its two core project investments in Thailand and Botswana and is well placed for value creation and I look forward to working with the board, staff and our joint venture partners to realise value for shareholders from these assets.

The following information is disclosed pursuant to Schedule Two paragraph (g) of the AIM Rules for Companies: ***See Link Below***

Metal Tiger Plc

Botswana T3, Robust Scoping Study 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).

Summary results of the Scoping Study for the Target 3 (T3) Copper-Silver Deposit 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

Michael McNeilly, Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger commented: We are delighted to report the robust outcome of this Scoping Study in respect of the T3 Copper-Silver deposit in Botswana in which Metal Tiger has a 30% direct project interest. The preliminary base case NPV amounts to approximately US$180m and the preliminary upside case model NPV amounts to US$297m at $2.53 lb/cu and $3.00 lb/cu.

This data is exceptionally positive particularly given the short period since the original discovery in March 2016, and given the low cost of circa US$2.5m expended by the Joint Venture partners to get to this point. In just over 11 months from first drilling the team has delivered, at very low cost, a Maiden JORC Resource and Scoping Study for an open pit mine at T3. Also of significance, the T3 is only the first of a series of high profile targets within the highly prospective region covered by the Joint Venture Licences, with the T3 Deposit only 1 square kilometre of the approximately 1,000 square kilometres constituting the prospective T3 Dome Structure.

The release of this Scoping Study and the interest shown in the project recently at Mines and Money London marks a major step forward towards the project objective of becoming a low cost, and long life Botswanan copper producer and bodes well for Metal Tiger to consider corporate opportunities. The JV continues its work proactively to develop the T3 deposit and further investigate additional opportunities to add step changing value to the Botswanan Joint Venture through the discovery of further deposits within the licence areas. In this regard, further news is anticipated in the near term.

On a final note, it was great to spend time with Julian Hanna and Jacques Van-Rensburg from MOD Resources before and during Mines and Money London, they have truly delivered on our joint strategy and I would like to extend my thanks to them and the MOD team for their hard work in delivering this result so rapidly."

LICENCE EXTENSIONS GRANTED &
STRONG DRILLING RESULTS AT T3 PROJECT


 Two-year licence extensions granted for 10 JV licences
 Agreement to acquire two additional licences will increase the JV holdings to
~200km of the prospective structural zone which hosts T3

Three wide intersections at T3 reinforce potential to expand the current
resource:

MO-G-56D: 49.7m @ 1.5% Cu and 33g/t Ag from 129.4m
MO-G-57D: 21.5m @ 1.1% Cu and 9g/t Ag from 201.6m
MO-G-58D: 17.6m @ 1.2% Cu and 16g/t Ag from 208.0m
MO-G-59D: 5.6m @ 1.3% Cu and 4g/t Ag from 133.4m and
19.5m @ 1.0% Cu and 7g/t Ag from 142.5m

Drilling focused on T3 host sequence extending 3km west from proposed pit

MOD Resources Ltd (ASX: MOD) is pleased to announce the Botswana Mines Minister has granted two-year extensions for 10 joint venture (JV) licences, including PLs 189/2008 and 190/2008.

The area covers ~918km2 centred around the Company’s T3 Project and a large part of the highly prospective T3 Dome in the Kalahari Copper Belt, Botswana.

The Department of Mines also approved the transfer of the MOD/Metal Tiger Plc JV licences to Tshukudu Metals Botswana (Pty) Ltd to simplify ownership.

In addition, terms have been agreed with a Botswana company for Tshukudu Metals to enter an option agreement to acquire 100% interest in two additional licences immediately west of Ghanzi. These licences include soil and structural targets and extend coverage of the Mahumo Structural Corridor to the Namibian border (Figure 1). As a result, Tshukudu Metals will hold approximately 200km length of this structural zone with numerous quality targets to be tested over two years.

The Mahumo Structural Corridor is interpreted to host >3Mt copper in announced resources in copper/silver deposits on neighbouring licences held by Cupric Canyon Capital. MOD’s recently announced resource and scoping study for an open pit mine and processing plant at T3, as well as drilling at T1, T2 and T4 and an extensive area of MOD/Metal Tiger JV licences which remain effectively untested, all form part of the Mahumo Structural Corridor.

MOD Managing Director, Mr Julian Hanna, said the licence renewals allow the joint venture to continue extensive exploration along the 50km T3 Dome and several other high priority targets.

“We will now commence the T3 pre-feasibility study with added confidence that the tenure of the licences is secure,” said Mr Hanna. “I would like to thank everyone involved with the licence renewal process for their work and support.”

Metal Tiger plc

Strategic Update

Metal Tiger plc (LON:MTR), the London Stock Exchange AIM listed investor in strategic natural resources is pleased to announce a strategic update for shareholders.

The Board of the Company has noted the volatility of the share price following the announcement made on 25 November 2016 regarding a potential offer for Metal Tiger which was subsequently rejected by the Companys independent directors on the basis that the offer fundamentally undervalued the Company.

Notwithstanding that rejection, the Directors believe that circumstances of the potential offer have led to recent instability in the market and in light of this a significant restructuring of the Board and management of the Company has occurred.

The Board would like to note that despite the fundamentally undervalued potential offer and the subsequent volatility, the Company's key interests continue to make substantial progress with 2017 expected to deliver further key milestones. It is in that regard and with proper recognition of shareholder feedback of late, the Board would like to confirm the current status and strategic plans with respect to its core business interests.

Botswana Copper-Silver (Metal Tiger 30%):
The Company's Botswanan Joint Venture continues to move at a highly efficient pace. From first discovery of the copper-silver deposit at T3 in March 2016, a material maiden resource statement has been completed in September 2016 and an economically robust Scoping Study published earlier this week.

The Scoping Study demonstrated a base case NPV(10%) of US$180m at a US$2.53/lb copper price (consensus price Oct16). With the current copper spot price at circa 2.64$/lb the Directors see a possible valuation upside should the copper price out perform the October consensus.

On a macro level the Directors believe that should the T3 project be taken into production it will commence operations in a supply-deficit market that will occur in 2019/2020 and that increasing demand from emerging markets in China and elsewhere, infrastructure programmes, consumer goods demand and new technologies (eg. renewable energy and electric vehicles), will provide further upside.

The Directors believe that the high quality of the concentrate to be produced from the open pit mine at T3 will be in high demand as a blend to lower quality copper concentrates and therefore should command a higher price because of this.

On the exploration side, the resource as outlined is across only one square kilometre of the 1,000 square kilometres representing the prospective T3 dome structure. The Joint Venture has multiple additional targets within T3 and elsewhere across its extensive 6,500 square kilometre Kalahari Copper Belt licences.

Given the highly prospective nature of the JV licence and surrounding T3 land, the Directors believe the most accretive activity in 2017 will be further near project exploration as this has the best potential to deliver increased return on investment. Additionally, given the proximity of the targets, any additional resource is not expected to materially increase the Capex requirements for the project and therefore one could expect that should similar deposits to T3 be located and proven the result should significantly increase the NPV of the project.

The Directors believe that any such discoveries could quickly be incorporated into the pre-feasibility / definitive feasibility study and create a spoke-hub model whereby several deposits feed the processing plant. As it stands the Directors note that any 2017 work programme will be subject to both MTR and MOD being able to finance their respective portions.

Metal Tiger holds a 30% stake in this project and has experienced significant interest in our position from third parties. In this regard the Joint Venture has been party to a number of Non-Disclosure Agreements with third parties expressing an interest in the project and several of these parties are on-site in Botswana currently. In addition, Metal Tiger received an unsolicited cash bid subject to due diligence to acquire our 30% position prior to the release of the Scoping Study. This approach was rejected as undervaluing Metal Tiger's strategic project stake but demonstrated the extent of interest in this project.

The Directors note that during MODs recent visit to London, Michael McNeilly, whom at the time was Company Secretary and Commercial Manager, Julian Hanna (MD of MOD Resources Ltd) and Jacques Van Rensburg (Exploration Manager for MOD Resources Ltd) attended several meetings with private equity investors interested in the Botswanan project and that a variety of different options were discussed and are actively being assessed by both parties.

The Board is proactively working with its joint venture partners MOD Resources to gather as much knowledge regarding the Botswanan project mineralisation in general and to push the project towards development and further exploration. In this regard Terry Grammer remains on the exploration advisory team of the Joint Venture alongside Julian Hanna and Jacques Van Rensburg.

Thailand Silver-Lead-Zinc (Metal Tiger Interest 77.9%):
Our Joint Venture in Thailand continues to progress with the steps being implemented to secure mining permits for the two silver-lead-zinc mines in Kanchanthaburi province, located in north west Thailand.

Various project, baseline water studies, environmental, mine planning and community studies are underway and yielding positive commercial and social results.
The team is focused on developing a safe and secure operating mine and processing plant facility for the primary benefit of the Thai people and in manner that demonstrates the ability of respectful international companies to achieve a positive commercial outcome from their investment in Thailand, its resources and its people.

The team is focused on developing a project that has substantial longevity and in this regard are actively working with Bara Consulting to assess the potential to add to the 2012 NI-43-101 Resource. In particular this work is focused on the portions of the Boh-Yai mine where there is more significant zinc potential. There is a significant amount of historical drill logs, maps and other information that is in the process of being assessed by Bara Consulting and the Directors are confident that such efforts will lead to results that can be assessed by a competent person and added to the resource in an updated NI-43-101 report.

Spain Tungsten-Gold-Antimony (Metal Tiger interest - 50%):
Work has continued at pace on the Maria Gold/Antimony and Logrosan Tungsten/Gold Joint Ventures. The Company with its advisers is currently assessing the latest exploration data from which we can confirm positive findings have been achieved notably in respect of additional gold/antimony mineralisation identified through our partners drilling programme and other activities.

We will provide further Spanish updates in the near term.

Pipeline:
Metal Tigers core projects outlined above and notably those held in Botswana and Thailand, offer, in the Boards view, an inherent value considerably higher than the current market capitalisation. This has been validated by previous analyst reports and a new broker note to be released shortly.

It is therefore incumbent on the Board to focus Company resources in furthering our core Metal Projects and ensuring the valuation thereof is properly reflected in our market valuation.

The Board consider that adding new project interests into Metal Tiger is not necessary and would not add any additional value in the eyes of investors. New projects within the Companys pipeline, and non-core project interests within the Company will be vended into other vehicles or disposed.

Asset Trading:
We recognise shareholders desire to see Company resources invested in our key Metal Projects and not necessarily invested into other resource companies through equity investments undertaken by our Asset Trading division.

The Board are therefore of the opinion that no new funds should be allocated to making further investments unless they are derived out of the profits from the Asset Trading division and in any event, should only be allocated to investments of strategic importance. An example of a strategic investment would be to use the profits to exercise warrants that are in the money. Profits generated by the Asset Trading division will be primarily allocated towards financing existing Metal Projects.

In Summation:
Metal Tiger has, in the Boards opinion, two unique and highly valuable project development interests in Botswana and Thailand, and a highly promising exploration interest in Spain.

We intend to aggressively pursue the furtherance of our Metal Projects division, and proactively articulate to market the inherent value in each of our interests.
The new Board would like to thank shareholders for their support.
