“Metal Tiger is delighted to once again become a shareholder of Greatland Gold following the recent announcement of a world class gold discovery at Greatland’s Havieron licence in the Paterson region of Western Australia. We are highly encouraged by the indicative size of this new gold discovery at Havieron, given the exceptional drilling and geophysical results Greatland has announced to date.”
“Today’s announcement reflects Metal Tiger’s focus on acquiring minority equity investments in natural resource projects that demonstrate considerable upside potential. We are confident that through this strategy we can continue to add significant value to Metal Tiger’s Direct Equities portfolio over the coming months.”
