Metal Tiger's CEO, Cameron Parry, commented: "Having recently returned from Thailand, I'm pleased to report that Metal Tiger's program there is tracking according to plan. The two JV companies, Tiger Minerals and Tiger Resources, have been incorporated and are ready to move to first ranking status with their respective applications for prospecting the JV properties. Further, Metal Tiger is progressing with an exploration program for the property that has received its prospecting licence. Further updates will be provided in due course."
