STOCK WATCH

METAL Tiger purred into action yesterday as it announced a ‘significant’ copper find in Botswana.

The miner’s chief executive Michael McNeilly said geologists were ‘ particularly excited’ by the particular copper mineralisation it had found in its latest drill, as the style had been previously unseen at the Metal Tiger and MOD Resources joint venture in the Kalahari Copper Belt.

Metal Tiger’s share price crept up yesterday by 5.3pc, or 0.15p, to 3p.
