In the current resource market climate the magnitude of Terry's investment will be noted by investors who currently hold shares and those monitoring Metal Tiger.
As a Company over the last 18 months we have set our stall out in the resources sector in readiness for the inevitable recovery. We have been fortunate that through trading gains and financings we have been able to acquire a trio of strategic resource project interests in Botswana, Spain and Thailand, each of which have tremendous upside potential.
Terry has a history of involvement with companies that have multiplied early investors capital many fold. His direct involvement in the identification of all three Metal Tiger strategic interests, followed by this substantial investment in the Company, is something we trust will give investors justifiable confidence in the Company's direction."

Notes to Editors:
Metal Tiger plc is a natural resources focused investing company quoted on the London Stock Exchange AIM Market ("AIM") with the trading code MTR and two investment divisions, Direct Projects and Direct Equities.
The Direct Projects division invests in mineral exploration projects operated by trusted partners on the ground. Projects are selected for their strategic significance in terms of commodity, geology, location and commerciality factors. Key strategic investments to date include Spanish Gold & Tungsten, Thai Gold, Copper & Antimony, and Botswanan Copper & Silver.
The Direct Equities division invests in quoted natural resource explorers and developers, with a combination of shares and warrants and seeks to generate trading profits for reinvestment into the Direct Projects division.
Metal Tiger's target is to deliver a very high return for shareholders by investing in significantly undervalued and/or high potential opportunities in the mineral exploration and development sector timed to coincide where possible, with a cyclical recovery in the exploration and mining markets.
