Return To News Archive

Patric Barry, President of Tiger International Resources Inc (TGR.V), announces that it has signed a Memorandum Of Understanding with Amity Resources of Perth, Western Australia, to option an 85% interest, with the right to acquire 100% interest, in approximately four hundred square kilometers of land on the northern boundary of Tiger's Springfield Basin Diamond Project in South Australia.

The key terms reached under the MOU are:

a) Tiger agrees to spend A$1,000,000 to earn 85% interest in the two Exploration Licenses owned by Amity, identified as EL1948 and EL2050. For each A$100,000 expended, Tiger is vested in 8.5% equity until having spent the A$1,000,000 when it is fully vested.

b) The remaining 15% is carried by Tiger until a positive feasibility study has been conducted, at which time Tiger has six months in which to purchase the remaining 15% equity at fair value to be determined by an independent valuer.

c) Tiger must spend a minimum of A$135,000 over the next eighteen months on exploration of the licenses, subject to force majeure and any unknown native title claims.

d) Tiger issues a warrant in favor of Amity which allows Amity to purchase 100,000 common shares of Tiger International Resources at a price of C$1.25 for a period of two years from the issue date of the warrant.

The MOU has been signed by both parties with the intention that it will be expanded into a full commercial agreement within sixty days of signing. The full agreement, along with appropriate mining reports and due diligence material, will be delivered to the Vancouver Stock Exchange for approval. The agreement is subject to the approval of the Vancouver Stock Exchange and the South Australian Mines Department, such approvals are expected due to the merit of the Amity property.

Tiger International Resources has performed due diligence on the Amity property and believes that the property is of significant merit for diamond exploration and development. Further detail as to the prospectivity and merit of the property will be announced in due course as Tiger's Senior Geologist, Dr. Kevin Wills, formalizes the geological data which he has obtained for Tiger.

This expansion of the Tiger International Resources land holdings in South Australia brings the adjusted total area under Tiger's control to approx. 5,526 square kilometers.

Tiger International Resources has 4,159,823 shares on issue, and has adequate cash available for exploration commitments.
