PERTH, Western Australia, June 14, 2011 /CNW/ - Tiger Resources Limited
(ASX/TSX: TGS, 'Tiger') is pleased to provide an update on the recently
completed phase 1 of the reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme at
the Judeira prospect, within the Kipoi project area (PE 533) in the
Democratic Republic of Congo.

Highlights

    --  Significant copper intersects were encountered in all of the
        seven holes comprising phase 1 of drilling at Judeira South,
        with two holes ending in mineralisation.
    --  The significant intersections include:

                        94m @ 1.7% Cu intersected in hole JUDRC021
                              (hole ended in mineralisation)

                              Including 25m @ 2.9% Cu

                        76m @ 1.6% Cu intersected in hole JUDRC022

                              Including 26m @ 3.1% Cu

                        15m @ 1.76% Cu intersected in hole JUDRC023

                        56m @ 2.2% Cu intersected in hole JUDRC024
                              (hole ended in mineralisation)

                              Including 11m @ 5.7% Cu

                        18m @ 1.25% Cu intersected in hole JUDRC025

                        13m @ 5.17% Cu intersected in hole JUDRC026

                        26m @ 1.5% Cu intersected in hole JUDRC027

   

    --  Assay results confirm the continuity of copper oxide
        mineralisation along strike and down-dip in the southern
        mineralised area.
    --  The width of the mineralisation is increasing down-dip, with
        hole JUDRC021 intercepting 94m of copper oxide mineralisation
        and ending in mineralisation at 150m due to lack of drill rods.
    --  Phase 2 of the RC drilling programme is expected to be
        completed in August, and will be followed by diamond drilling
        before Tiger undertakes a maiden resource estimate later in the
        year.

Assay results have been received from all seven holes drilled at the
southern end of the Judeira prospect as phase 1 of the RC drilling
programme at Judeira. The holes were designed to test for strike and
width extensions of the copper mineralisation intercepted during
previous drilling undertaken by Tiger in 2006.

Managing Director Brad Marwood said Tiger was encouraged by the latest
results and would work toward having a maiden resource estimate
calculated by the end of the year.

'The results at Judeira are extremely pleasing and we will continue to
pursue our drilling and exploration programmes actively,' Mr Marwood
said.

'Our objective is to grow the existing resource base to a level that
will support future production from a proposed Stage 2 SXEW plant
development at Kipoi of more than 50,000 tonnes of copper per year.'

Significant mineralisation was reported from all of the seven holes
drilled (see Table 1.) The best intersection of 94m @ 1.7% Cu was
returned from hole JUDRC021, which was drilled on section 3 (see Figure
1 for collar plan and section lines) to test for down-dip extensions of
the high-grade mineralisation encountered in holes JUDRC005 and
JUDRC006. Hole JUDRC022 was drilled 50m up-dip on the same section, and
intersected 76m @ 1.6% Cu (including 26m @ 3.16% Cu), more closely
reflecting the grades found up-dip in holes JUDRC005 & JUDRC006. 
Whilst the comparable grades in JUDRC021 and JUDRC022 are lower than
the near surface mineralisation found in JUDRC005 and JUDRC006, the
mineralised intercepts for both holes are much broader and the
mineralisation remains open at depth, providing significant
encouragement for further drilling.

Hole JUDRC024 was drilled approximately 75m along strike to the NW and
intercepted 56m @ 2.2% Cu (including 11m @ 5.7%), providing further
encouragement for down-dip follow up drilling. A further 50m along
strike to the NW, hole JUDRC025 encountered 18m @ 1.25% Cu,
demonstrating that down-dip mineralisation is more extensive than
indicated by past workings and cuttings in the hill side.

The results confirm that mineralisation is continuing down-dip at high
grades and is much broader than first anticipated. Sulphides are yet to
be encountered, confirming a deep weathering profile and giving plenty
of scope for further supergene mineralisation to be encountered at
depth.

Phase 2 of the drilling is due to start in July and will concentrate on
the northern area of Judeira where it will test 900m of mineralised
strike. Additional holes will be planned to further test the southern
area following the outstanding results received from Phase 1.

Background

Judeira is one of at least five known copper deposits contained in a
12km sequence of mineralised Roan sediments within the Kipoi Project
area (PE533), and is approximately 6kms to the north-west of Tiger's
recently commissioned Stage 1 HMS Plant located adjacent to the Kipoi
Central deposit.

The Judeira prospect contains approximately 1.6km of strike composed of
intermittently outcropping Mwashya (R4) sediments of the Roan
Supergroup that are associated with a regional thrust that includes
Kipoi Central (along strike to the SE) and the nearby Luisha mine
(7.5km along strike to the NW) containing a total resource of 50m
tonnes @ 2.1% Cu.

Earlier drilling programmes at Judeira were conducted in 2006 and 2007,
when 20 RC holes and two diamond holes were drilled over the southern
and northern mineralised areas where artisanal workings are evident.
Air-core drilling was also used at that time to test areas of the
prospect not covered by artisanal workings. The results from these
programmes have been used to scope the current drilling programme,
which will test the prospect more thoroughly with the aim of allowing a
resource calculation to be completed by the end of the year.
