Tiger Resources is an Australian-based company focused on the discovery and development of high-grade copper/cobalt deposits in the world-renowned Africa Copper Belt in the DRC.

Tiger has an interest in a number of highly prospective projects covering 1,550sq kms, including the Kipoi, Lupoto and Sakania projects. 

The Company has a staged development strategy for the Kipoi Project. Stage 1 involves processing high grade oxide copper mineralisation through a heavy media separation (“HMS”) plant to produce the equivalent of 119,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate over a three year period. We are targeting 2010 as the year to commence producing  25% Cu concentrate.

Our plan is to then construct a 25,000tpa (scaleable) Solvent Extraction and Electrowinning (“SXEW”) plant by 2014 to produce cathode copper. The expanding resource base at Kipoi has the potential to support a +50,000tpa SXEW production capacity.

Our Lupoto Project is 100 per cent owned by Tiger and is located approximately 25km to the south of the Kipoi Project.

Sase, a deposit within the Lupoto Project has recorded significant copper drilling intersections from an initial diamond drilling programme. Mineralisation has been identified over a strike length of 600m that varies in width between 50 and 200m.

Oxide mineralisation extends to 120m in depth and overlies deeper sulphide mineralization. Sase is one of a number copper mineralised zones the Company has discovered within the Lupoto Project.

Further exploration work will continue as we build our resource base.
