Kipoi Overview

 

The Kipoi Project is located 75kms northwest of Lubumbashi, the capital of Katanga Province, in the central part of the Katangan Copperbelt.

 

Kipoi covers an area of 55 square kilometres and contains a 12km long extensively copper-cobalt mineralised segment (ecaille) of Upper Roan (R2, R4) sediments. The project hosts five known copper deposits, Kipoi Central, Kipoi North, Kileba, Judeira and Kaminafitwe.

 

The project is located close to Lubumbashi, which has an international airport and is linked by a network of roads to the major ports of Dares Salaam in Tanzania and Durban in South Africa.
 
Local infrastructure is excellent. High-voltage power lines off the national grid and the Lubumbashi-Likasi railway line pass through the project area.

 

 

A maiden inferred resource estimate at Kipoi Central of 13.4Mt at 3.3% Cu and 0.1% Co for 439,000 tonnes of contained copper and 20,000 tonnes of cobalt was completed in March 2008 by Cube Consulting Pty Ltd. This includes a high grade component, upgraded to a Measured and Indicated Resource, of 2.9Mt at 8.1% Cu containing 230,000 tonnes of copper.

 

In May 2010, Tiger increased its resource at Kipoi Central from 439,000t Cu to 637,000t Cu of which 535,000t Cu was classified as Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources.

 

The Company remains on target to start production at Kipoi by the start of 2011 after receiving all the necessary funding and approval requirements.

 

Tiger has a 60% interest in the Kipoi project. The remaining 40% interest in SEK sprl is held by La Générale des Carrière et des Mines (“Gécamines”), a DRC State controlled company.
