Botswana Copper/Silver Project - Licence Extensions and Drill 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 Companys Joint Venture (JV) project with partners MOD Resources (ASX:MOD) in the Kalahari Copper Belt in Botswana (70% MOD Resources / 30% Metal Tiger).

Technical highlights in respect of the T3 Deposit including the pre-feasibility study programme, progress and drilling updates 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 licences and the reported infill drill collar locations. 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 that the various Resource extension and Prefeasibility Study related work streams are now underway following the field teams well deserved seasonal holiday. Drilling recommenced with two diamond and one RC rigs tasked with gathering data for constituent studies including Resource Extensions, Hydrological and Geotechnical studies and additional Metallurgical testing.

Whilst the core technical team is focussed on delivering the T3 PFS, we do not lose sight of the significant upside which is represented by our licence holding over the remainder of the prospective T3 Dome. We believe that the T3 Deposit may potentially form part of a much larger sediment hosted copper footprint in the Kalahari Copper Belt.

To this end the joint venture continues to invest in geochemical sampling, geophysics and follow-up investigation work in our wider licence holding. Cognisant that the remainder of the T3 Dome landholding, and the wider licence portfolio have the potential for hosting additional T3 type deposits. As such, we look forward to the prospect of announcing further, encouraging, progress reports in the near future.

Commencement of IPO Process and Appointment of Executive Director

Metal Tiger (LON: MTR), the natural resources investing company, is pleased to announce that the Song-Toh and Boh-Yai Thai Silver-Lead-Zinc Mines Joint Venture (the “Thai Joint Venture”) has formally commenced an IPO process with regard to seeking admission to trading on AIM in Q2 2017. The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Geoff McIntyre as a Company Executive Director with immediate effect. The incumbent Board prior to Geoff’s appointment believes that his knowledge of Thailand as well as the Boh-Yai and Song-Toh project will be essential to the Company as it seeks to assist the Thai Joint Venture with its IPO process.

Michael McNeilly, Chief Executive officer of Metal Tiger commented:
“The IPO of the Thai Joint Venture is expected to realise significant value for all interested parties and shareholders and create a highly attractive company on AIM for investors to gain exposure to a near-term production silver-lead-zinc project. Having listened to the concerns of Metal Tiger shareholders and assessed Metal Tiger’s business strategy with the Board, I am pleased that the Thai Joint Venture has agreed that seeking an IPO on AIM is in the best interests of all parties. I look forward to working with the Thai Joint Venture to make this IPO a success and to realising the true and currently unrecognised and not reflected value of Metal Tiger’s interest in the Thai Joint Venture for Metal Tiger shareholders. I am grateful for shareholders’ support of the Company and hope that they will continue to support Metal Tiger’s ambitions as it evolves as a business.

I am very pleased to welcome Geoff McIntyre, a highly experienced mining executive, to the Board of Metal Tiger and look forward to working with him to deliver value to shareholders of Metal Tiger.”


Thailand IPO and New Director Appointment

The Board believes that Metal Tiger’s 77.9% effective interest in the Thai Joint Venture (based on current structure) is afforded only modest value within the Company’s overall market cap, considering it offers the potential for near term production project with low capex, low deal cost and the primary risk to development being permitting. The Thai Joint Venture is progressing permitting via the experienced and (predominantly Thai team) in place. Updates on permitting progress will be made as and when appropriate. The following studies have already been or will be commissioned in the next month by the Thai Joint Venture:

.Mine Plan for permitting submission (Bara Consultants)
.Hydrogeology Study (GWRC)
.Environmental Plan (IEM)
.Second Baseline Study (IEM)
.Tailings Dam Stability Assessment (Bara Consultants)
.Economic Study for permitting submission (5 Corners)
.Underground Stability Assessment
.Tailings Geochemistry
.Underground Air Quality Survey
.Resource Recalculation which is expected to increase the Resource confidence published in the 2012 NI 43-101
.Updated AIM Standard compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment report using
Resource Calculation

Following discussions amongst the Board, brokers, advisers, and the JV partner Pornnaret Klipbua (known as “Det”), the Directors are confident that there will be parties interested in financing an IPO of the Thai Joint Venture. The Board notes that the Thai Joint Venture may consider seeking pre-IPO funding and that Metal Tiger may consider offering to underwrite a portion of the pre-IPO fundraising should it occur as well as potentially underwrite a portion of the IPO fundraise as appropriate.

The Joint Venture and Metal Tiger teams have actively assessed the cost-to-benefit-risk of an IPO and notes that there are low up-front and limited monthly costs to be paid to advisers as part of the process and to the extent possible, the majority of advisers’ fees will be paid on a success basis. The Directors note that the Thai Joint Venture will need to raise a minimum of 12 months (in practice 18 months) working capital as part of the IPO and is confident that this figure will not need to include Capex requirements related to the project and therefore will comprise primarily costs associated with permitting and preparation for refurbishment of the processing plant and refurbishment and replacement of equipment amongst other costs. Metal Tiger will of course meet its funding obligations under the terms of the JVA during the IPO process which should in turn reduce the working capital requirements of the Thai Joint Venture upon admission (should this be successful).

The Directors note that a successful IPO of the Thai Joint Venture would eliminate a significant cost base within Metal Tiger which would allow the Company to deploy its capital toward financing the Joint Venture in Botswana and as appropriate toward other Direct Project investments. It is the Board of Metal Tiger’s intention to issue a dividend-in-specie to Metal Tiger shareholders as part of the Thai Joint Venture’s IPO.

As part of the IPO there will be a requirement to provide a competent persons report within the admission document and it is the Thai Joint Venture teams’ belief and its consultants’ belief that there is the potential to add a significant amount of resource to the previously completed resource statement issued in the 2012 ACA Howe NI 43-101 report. “Det” Pornnaret Klipbua the Joint Venture partner will be actively involved in the IPO process and subject to regulatory approval will be a Director of the Thai Joint Venture upon admission to trading.

Whilst the Board is highly confident in the potential for a successful IPO of the Thai Joint Venture, the Board of Metal Tiger notes that there can of course be no guarantees that an IPO of the Thai Joint Venture and the associated fundraise will be successful. Furthermore, there can be no guarantee that the IPO will complete by the end of Q2 2017. The commencement of this IPO process will in no way rule out the right of Metal Tiger to dispose of its stake in the Joint Venture should an attractive offer materialise that would in the opinion of the Board be better value for shareholders of Metal Tiger.

Metal Tiger will advise at an appropriate time on the Board composition of the Thai Joint Venture seeking admission to trading on AIM. The Board of the Thai Joint Venture, should it successfully admit to trading on AIM, will be required to adhere to appropriate corporate governance requirements and Metal Tiger accepts, as a likely substantial shareholder in the listed company, that it would need to enter into an appropriate relationship agreement as part of any admission to trading on AIM.

From yesterday:

Metal Tiger to list Thai mining joint venture on Aim
By Jon Yeomans
11 January 2017 • 2:57pm



Junior mining group Metal Tiger plans to bring a taste of Thailand to London’s Aim market, with the initial public offering of shares in a silver, lead and zinc venture.

Aim-listed Metal Tiger claims the float is “the first IPO of a Thai operation on the London stock exchange”, and could help spark investor interest in the southeast Asian country.

“Thailand is a very interesting jurisdiction and hopefully this will open up the market to other attractive Thai companies,” said Michael McNeilly, chief executive.

Metal Tiger has a 78pc interest in the Song-Toh and Boh-Yai mines, which operated for 32 years but were mothballed in 2002 due to low metal prices. The remainder is owned by Thai company Pornnaret Klipbua, which holds the mining licence.

Metal Tiger believes the value of the venture is not currently recognised in its market cap, which stands at around £12.6m.

Spinning the venture off would “benefit shareholders and unlock unrealised value”, according to Mr McNeilly.

The move will also allow Metal Tiger to focus on building a copper and silver mine in Botswana, which it is progressing towards construction.

The Thai operation is based in Kanchanaburi Province, close to the site of the famous bridge on the River Kwai, which was built by British prisoners of war in World War II and immortalised in a 1957 film.

Metal Tiger estimates it would need just $15m to $20m (£12m to £16.5m) of capital to refurbish and reopen the operation, with a view to production resuming in 2018.

Mr McNeilly said the IPO was a “robust proposition” that would allow investors to benefit from rising zinc and silver prices. “The only risk is permitting,” he said, adding that he was confident all the necessary permits would be in place in the next 12 to 18 months.

The listing is expected to go ahead in the second quarter of the year, and Metal Tiger may consider underwriting some of the IPO fundraising. The float will aim to raise £3m to £4m, which will be used to finance 12 months’ working capital.

A new road for Botswana copper
Mining Journal 24 Jan 2017

MOD Resources’ (ASX: MOD) dual focus on rapid development of a new copper mine near Ghanzi in Botswana, and aggressive exploration to build on the standout T3 discovery underpinning project development studies, has quickly elevated the company’s status in the eyes of an increasingly sophisticated investor base. Could it be the emerging copper story of 2017?

Having sped out of the blocks after getting a ministerial green light to explore a massive area around its T1 (Mahumo) resource only last February, MOD is shifting gear again as it mounts a comprehensive, systematic search for new copper deposits in the circa-1,000sq.km area under tenure in what is now known as the T3 Dome on the Kalahari Copper Belt.

Discounting the resource at T1 (2.7 million tonnes grading 2% copper and 50g/t silver), the market has so far assigned an exploration-stage value of about A$60 million (US$45 million) to MOD and the 70%-owned 350,000-tonne copper and 14 million-ounce silver resource outlined to date at T3. T3, which has an indicated and inferred resource of 28.36Mt at 1.24% copper and 15.7g/t silver, is a joint venture with AIM-listed Metal Tiger plc.

Copper advances 3% on Chile strike risk
19:35 24 Jan 2017

Global copper prices jumped by 3% on Tuesday and sped towards $6,000 a tonne after workers at the world’s largest copper mine in Chile rejected a management wage offer, raising the possibility of a strike



Global copper prices jumped by 3% on Tuesday and sped towards $6,000 a tonne after workers at the world’s largest copper mine in Chile rejected a management wage offer, raising the possibility of a strike.

Unionised workers at the BHP Billiton-owned (NYSE:BHP, LON:BLT, ASX:BHP) Escondida mine have until Jan. 31 to vote on a new wage proposal – results of which often set the bar for other mines in Chile, the world’s biggest producer of copper, representing 6% of the world’s refined copper supplies.

The red metal has rallied 14% since Donald Trump was elected US president on hopes he will boost infrastructure spending. BHP Billiton’s Wall Street ADRs were up 3.2% at $41.59 on Tuesday.
