Kalahari Metals Limited - Environmental Permitting Update
Metal Tiger plc (AIM:MTR), the London Stock Exchange AIM listed
investor in strategic natural resource opportunities, is pleased to
announce that Kalahari Metals Limited ("KML"), in which Metal Tiger
owns 50% of the issued share capital, has received notification
that the Environmental Management Plan ("EMP") for KML's Okavango
Copper Project ("OCP") has been reviewed and approved by the
Botswana Department of Environmental Affairs ("DEA"), subject to a
four-week public review period.
The public review is the precursor to the EMP authorisation
which, if granted, would allow diamond drilling to commence on high
priority targets within the OCP. Competitive drilling tenders have
been received and KML is confident drilling will take place shortly
after completion of the public review.
Michael McNeilly, Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger plc,
commented:
"I am delighted by the continued support that the Botswana
Department of Environmental Affairs has shown for the development
of the KML portfolio, in which we see significant potential. The
KML portfolio now includes a number of exciting geophysical and
structural targets across the highly prospective Kalahari Copper
Belt, which warrant further investigation by drilling. The
anticipated drilling approvals will commence an exciting new
chapter for the Company and our shareholders, and we look forward
to providing further updates in due course."
Project Background
KML holds interests in 12 highly prospective exploration
licences covering a total area of 8,594km2 in the Kalahari Copper
Belt, consisting of two 100% owned exploration licences, five
exploration licences, subject to a binding earn-in agreement with
Triprop Holdings (Pty) Limited, and five exploration licences
subject to a conditional acquisition agreement with Resource
Exploration and Development Ltd.
Under an investment agreement, announced on 6 June 2018, Metal
Tiger owns 50% of KML, providing Metal Tiger with further exposure
to a largely unexplored area, adjacent to significant recent
discoveries in the highly prospective Kalahari Copper Belt.

Notes to Editors:
Metal Tiger plc is listed on the London Stock Exchange AIM
Market ("AIM") with the trading code MTR and invests in high
potential mineral projects with a base, precious and strategic
metals focus.
The Company's target is to deliver a high return for
shareholders by investing in significantly undervalued and/or high
potential opportunities in the mineral exploration and development
sector. The Company's key strategic objective is to ensure the
distribution to shareholders of major returns achieved from
disposals. Metal Tiger has two investment divisions: Direct
Equities and Direct Projects.
The Direct Equities division invests in undervalued natural
resource companies listed on AIM, the ASX and the TSX. Through the
trading of equities and warrants, Metal Tiger seeks to generate
cash for investment in the Direct Projects division.
Metal Tiger's Direct Projects division is focused on the
development of its key project interests in Botswana, Spain and
Thailand. In Botswana, Metal Tiger, through its 10.48% interest in
MOD Resources Limited and related JV, and its 50% interest in
Kalahari Metals Limited, has a growing interest in the large and
highly prospective Kalahari copper/silver belt. In Spain, the
Company has tungsten and gold interests in the highly mineralised
Extremadura region. In Thailand, Metal Tiger has interests in two
potentially near-production stage lead/zinc/silver mines as well as
licences, applications and critical historical data covering
antimony, copper, gold, lead, zinc and silver opportunities.
The Company actively assesses new investment opportunities on an
on-going basis and has access to a diverse pipeline of new
opportunities in the natural resources and mining sectors. For
pipeline opportunities deemed sufficiently attractive, Metal Tiger
may invest in the project or entity by buying publicly listed
shares, by financing privately and/or by entering into a joint
venture.
