Cameron Parry, Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger commented: "The Board recognise the importance of strategically investing into opportunities with the potential to compound the benefit for Metal Tiger. Having had further opportunity to consider the MOD Resources' wider value proposition we believe that MOD is considerably undervalued when set against the existing stage of business development. Furthermore, should our plans progress as anticipated, the flourishing of the Botswanan Copper/Silver projects should deliver on a tremendous upside potential. We are therefore delighted to secure these ASX-listed shares and listed warrants and will continue to work closely with MOD to progress our combined business interests in Botswana and to communicate the value of the Botswanan assets to investors in the United Kingdom, Australia and generally on a global basis."
