Metal Tiger plc (LON:MTR), the London Stock Exchange AIM listed investor in strategic natural resource opportunities, is pleased to provide an update on the infill drilling results at the T3 Copper Project (“T3”), held 100% by MOD Resources Limited, in the Kalahari Copper Belt, Botswana.
Michael McNeilly, Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger, commented:“We are pleased to report that the infill drilling at MOD’s T3 Project in Botswana continues to confirm both high grade copper and wide copper intersections within the planned T3 Open Pit in Botswana. The second batch of results continue to support the expectation that a significant portion of the Mineral Resource can be upgraded to the Measured Category, helping to further de-risk the attractive mining proposition.”
Since commencement of the infill drilling in January 2019, 49 of the planned 60 hole programme have now been completed, with the remaining 11 holes expected to be completed by the end of the first half of 2019.
Assay results having now been received for a total of 36 holes, with the results for the first 11 holes having previously been announced on 12 March 2019. The assay results for the second batch of 25 holes, support the expectation that a significant portion of the Mineral Resources can be upgraded to Measured Category.
It is expected that these results will allow a significant proportion of the current Resource, modelled within the first two stages of open pit production, to be upgraded into the higher confidence JORC (2012) compliant Measured Resource category. Subject to the necessary test work, results may also permit upgrading part of the current Probable Ore Reserve to the Proved Ore Reserve category.
Significant infill results from the second batch of 25 holes, include:
