Perth, Australia, April 14, 2014 - (ABN Newswire) - Tiger Resources Limited (ASX:TGS.AX - News) ("Tiger") is pleased to welcome MCK Trucks sprl ("MCK") as a shareholder of the Company.

MCK has been the mining contractor at Tiger's Kipoi Copper Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC") since the Company started producing copper concentrate at Kipoi in May, 2011. MCK, a local DRC-based company, approached Tiger about becoming a shareholder.

Tiger issued 35.6 million shares to MCK at $0.36 per share, with proceeds to be settled through the provision of mining services for the Stage 2 solvent extraction electro-winning (SXEW) operation at Kipoi.

The SXEW plant is on schedule to commence production of copper cathode in Q2 2014. The plant is expected to produce 25,000 tonnes of copper cathode in its first full 12 months of operation and 50,000 tonnes per annum in subsequent years.

Managing Director Brad Marwood said: "Having MCK on our share register demonstrates the confidence and support we've got from the local community and strengthens our in-country relationships.

Our alliance with MCK will reduce the development cost for the next phase of works whilst maintaining a presence at site of a key contractor who has been an integral part our success story to date."
