Tiger Resources makes key engineering appointments at Kipoi copper project

Friday, October 30, 2009

Tiger Resources Limited (ASX: TGS) has awarded South African-based DRA Mineral Projects the contract to design, construct, and commission treatment facilities of its proposed US$30 million Stage One copper mining operation at the Kipoi project in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

DRA’s scope of work will also include all necessary infrastructure and other works needed to get the operation suitable for Tiger to allocate operational staff and commence operations.

DRA has a reputation for designing quality, cost effective fit‐for‐purpose plants. It employs over 2,000 staff in offices located around the world, said Tiger managing director David Young.

DRA has designed and constructed Heavy Media Separation (HMS) plants for nickel mines in Botswana, copper producers in the Katanga Province, and for platinum, coal and diamond producers in South Africa.

Coffey Mining from Western Australia has been appointed to prepare mining tender documentation for issue to a short list of prequalified suitable sub‐contract mining companies.

Coffey Mining will issue the tender, receive and evaluate tender submissions, and make recommendations for award. Its work will also incorporate co‐ordinating and validating the mine planning and scheduling work for the Stage 1 Kipoi Project development.

Coffey is a well respected internationally recognised consulting mining group with offices around the world, Mr Young said.

Tiger has also appointed a qualified mining engineer to be the project manager and Tiger’s representative to oversee the engineering work being conducted by DRA. He will be based in South Africa.

Tiger’s revised pit design work for Kipoi indicates potential to reduce pre‐production mining period to four months and therefore reduce pre‐production capital expenditure.

The revised pit design work incorporates various improvements to increase the efficiency of mining operations, and also includes an alternative mine plan. The company continues to target commencement of production for mid 2010.
