Tiger International Resources Inc. Diamond Exploration and Development Project

Tiger International Resources geological consultants have reported that five separate, non-contiguous drill hole locations on the Flinders Ranges Diamond Project have tested to be 'ON SOURCE'.

An 'On Source' lab determination is a confirmation that drill hole sampling has recovered diamond indicators which, when tested under laboratory conditions, establish that the drill hole location is right on the kimberlite source, or within 200 meters of the source. The kimberlites being defined through this method will be later tested for commercial diamond potential. Tiger's geologists believe that these results validate the grid based method of discovery and should lead to the detection of the primary, diamond bearing kimberlites on the 5,435 sq. kilometer project.

Staff geologists have returned to the project and taken 26 additional rock, gravel and loam samples from these five locations which have been dispatched to Independent Diamond Laboratories in Perth for testing and analysis. Two rock samples, twelve loam samples and twelve drainage samples comprised the samples taken. The loam samples are from the colluvial banks of the creeks which have the most interesting 'on source' results.

Sample results from the lab are still coming in from testing of the samples recovered from the January drilling program, the balance expected by mid-March. The results from the 26 additional samples mentioned above are expected by the end of March.
