(Alliance News) - Metal Tiger PLC on Thursday noted "strong" drilling results published by investee Cobre Ltd in relation to the diamond drilling exploration programme in the Perrinvale project in Western Australia.
Metal Tiger holds a 20% stake in Australia-focused ASX-listed exploration company Cobre.
