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.

Exercise of Warrants in MOD Resources Limited

Metal Tiger (LON: MTR), the natural resources investing company is pleased to announce that it has today elected to conduct a strategic exercise of its 29,166,666 warrants at AUD 1 cent per warrant in MOD Resources Limited (ASX:MOD) for 29,166,666 new shares in MOD at a cost of AUD 291,667 (£178,937). Following this exercise Metal Tiger will hold 81,102,302 shares in MOD Resources Limited (“MOD”) representing 5.01% of the issued share capital of MOD which upon receipt of the newly issued shares will put MTR above notifiable on the ASX.

The Board is pleased that this sum, whilst modest, will contribute both to Metal Tiger and MOD’s 30/70 joint venture in the Kalahari Copper Belt as well as toward other expenditure by MOD on non-JV licences in the region.

Michael McNeilly, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “I recently visited Perth, where Terry Grammer and I met with the Board of MOD to discuss the Joint Venture and strategy going forward for MOD both with regard to the Joint Venture as well as MODs non-JV licences. Following these meetings I believe that there is a clear understanding of how MOD wishes to progress matters. It is clear that MOD wish to progress the T3 project to production whilst expanding exploration within the JV as well as in areas outside of the JV to hopefully demonstrate the tremendous potential of the region. Metal Tiger is fully supportive and on board with their strategy and believes that this exercise of our warrants demonstrates the Company’s intentions.

On a side note, Alastair Middleton, Technical Director of Metal Tiger has recently concluded a site visit to the JV area and other MOD licences and is currently in Cape Town for Indaba and the 121 Mining Investment conference and it is clear from his reports and meetings that there is significant interest in the exploration potential of the region.”

Metal Tiger firmly in MOD's corner as it lifts stake
12:21 08 Feb 2017

Following a conversion of warrants, Metal Tiger's stake has just nudged over a notifiable level



Metal Tiger PLC (LON:MTR) said it is on the same page as MOD Resources Ltd (ASX:MOD) after upping its stake a little in the Aussie firm.

The resources sector investor has converted 29.17mln warrants into an equivalent number of MOD shares at one cent a pop, at a total cost of £178,937 (A$291,667).

The exercise lifts Metal Tiger’s stake to 5.01% of MOD, its 30/70 joint venture (JV) partner in the Kalahari copper belt.

Perhaps more importantly, Metal Tiger’s Michael McNeilly recently popped over to Perth in Australia for a pow-wow with MOD’s top brass.

“I met with the board of MOD to discuss the joint venture and strategy going forward for MOD, both with regard to the joint venture as well as MODs non-JV licences. Following these meetings I believe that there is a clear understanding of how MOD wishes to progress matters,” McNeilly said.

“It is clear that MOD wish to progress the T3 project to production whilst expanding exploration within the JV as well as in areas outside of the JV to hopefully demonstrate the tremendous potential of the region. Metal Tiger is fully supportive and on board with their strategy and believes that this exercise of our warrants demonstrates the company’s intentions,” he added.

Meanwhile, Alastair Middleton, technical director of Metal Tiger has recently concluded a site visit to the JV area and other MOD licences and is currently in Cape Town for Indaba and the 121 Mining Investment conference.

“It is clear from his reports and meetings that there is significant interest in the exploration potential of the region,” Metal Tiger said.

Thailand Timeline
 
Metal Tiger (LON: MTR), the natural resources investing company wishes to highlight that a copy of an estimated 2017 time line for the Thai Joint Venture including envisaged IPO is now available at the following link:
 
http://www.metaltigerplc.com/index.php/timeline/download?path=Downloads%252FTime%2BLine.pdf 
 
Project Progress:
 
It is also worth noting the progress of the following studies:
 
-      The Mine Plan is substantially complete and the update of the Resource is progressing at pace with the team working to a tight deadline. The building of a 3D model of the two mines using historical production, drill core, stope sampling, and lithological interpretation data, all digitalized from hand drawn maps and log books into mapping formats is supporting the process. The Mine Plan will be amended once the Resource has been updated. Translation into Thai for submission is about to commence.

-      Work towards the Environmental Impact Assessment report is underway, as is data collection for a Hydrogeology Study that will produce a subsurface water flow model.

-      A wet season environmental baseline study has been completed.

-      The Economic Contribution Assessment has been completed but will be updated following the Resource update.

-      Nineteen 2-2.5m deep channel samples have been taken from the tailings pond for analysis.
 
It is also worth noting that the team has the benefit of several studies and work concluded during 2011-2013 by the previous owners of the project, including:
 
-      Tailings pond expansion plan
-      Geotechnical study
-      Site rehabilitation and reclamation plan
-      NI 43-101 and Preliminary Economic Assessment model
-      Exploration work, including rock chip sampling, soil geochemistry, ground IP geophysics, airborne magnetics and radiometrics.
 
Michael McNeilly, CEO of Metal Tiger plc commented: "The management team for the Thai Joint Venture has significant in country project development and operating expertise and this is proving invaluable and being demonstrated through the progress occurring to complete the studies before the envisaged IPO towards the end of Q2 2017. Further updates will be made in due course with regard to the IPO progress as well as Board composition of the Thai Listco."
