Metal Tiger (LON:MTR) announced its first exploration activity in Spain - as it struck a deal for a tungsten and gold joint venture in the country.
Following negotiations and due diligence, it has entered a joint venture with Logrosan Minerals, a special purpose vehicle, for a 50% share, in an area consisting of one licence and two licence applications in Extremadura, Spain.
Metal Tiger is to fund up to the next €500,000 in exploration - the first payment being €100,000 and the balance of up to a total of €500,000 to be transferred over the rest of 2015.
An agreed exploration programme includes up to 5,000 metres of drilling.
If Metal Tiger provides the total of €500,000 for 2015 exploration programme funding it will hold 50% of the equity in Logrosan Minerals.
Chairman of Metal Tiger Terry Grammer told investors: "Metal Tiger is pleased to be commencing its first exploration activities in Spain.
