Metal Tiger plc (LON:MTR) the London Stock Exchange AIM listed investor in strategic natural resource projects, is pleased to announce that at a Shareholder General Meeting on 11th March 2016 held by ZimNRG plc (ISDX:ZIMO) all resolutions were duly approved.

Following approval by ZimNRG shareholders Metal Tiger has now invested £50,003 to acquire 19,027,268 ZimNRG shares representing a 28.25% holding. The investment will be held in the Metal Tiger Asset Trading Division.

Shareholders wishing to examine the basis of this investment should refer to Metal Tiger's announcement of 11th February 2016 within which the terms of the transaction were disclosed.

ZimNRG is now undertaking the process of changing its name to Metal NRG which will now pursue business transactions in line with a new investing policy an extract of which is provided below:

"The Company's proposed new Investing Policy is to invest in and/or acquire companies and/or projects within the natural resources and/or energy sector with potential for growth and value creation, over the medium to long term. The Company will also consider opportunities in other related sectors if the Board considers there is an opportunity to generate an attractive return for Shareholders. This will include natural resource technologies and fintech opportunities offering leverage to resource identification, processing, recording, storage and trading businesses."

Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger plc commented "we are delighted to see crystallisation of the ZimNRG transaction following shareholder approval. I have now joined the Board of ZimNRG to monitor and advance Metal Tiger's investment and look forward to working with the ZimNRG team to progress a number of new opportunities, some of which may emerge from Metal Tiger's pipeline of opportunities.

Metal Tiger is building relationships with a number of AIM and ISDX companies to provide a number of avenues through which initiatives and opportunities can be channelled. The ZimNRG transaction is the first to crystallise in this regard.

As Metal Tiger advances and grows, it is vital to focus the Company in the optimal manner to build value for shareholders. Recently the Company has made significant progress in its key strategic project investments including Botswana, Spain and Thailand. The Company's Board therefore see the need to focus the majority of our efforts on the strategic projects where there is potential for significant valuation uplift for shareholders.

By developing our external network through ISDX and AIM peers, we can make sure the focus of Metal Tiger is fixed on building our strategic project interests, whilst otherwise crystallising near term value and on-going working capital from the Company's pipeline of opportunities."
