Posting of Annual Report

Metal Tiger plc (AIM: MTR, ASX: MTR), the AIM and ASX listed investor in natural resources opportunities, is pleased to announce its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2022. There has been no change to the financial results as released to the market on 28 February 2023.

A complete version of the Annual Report and Accounts can be found here:http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/6744U_1-2023-3-29.pdf, and on the Company website: https://www.metaltigerplc.com/investors/financial-reports-accounts . Copies of the abovementioned document will be posted in accordance with the timetable below.

Highlights:

-- Registration of the Company as a small UK AIFM ("AIFM") under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Regulations 2013 ("AIFMR").

-- Completed the sale of its remaining 49% interest in Kalahari Metals to Cobre thereby exiting projects division.

-- Equity Investments division reported a loss of GBP5.1m (before administration and interest costs), primarily driven by overall market conditions during the year and more specifically the decrease in value of the Company's investments in Sandfire together with the decreased dividend earned from Sandfire of GBP146,000 (2021: GBP1,538,000).

-- No incremental revaluation of the royalty over 2% net smelter return ("NSR") over circa 8,000km(2) of Sandfire's exploration tenements and in-particular the licence that holds the A4 project, which was a material contributor to the previous results of the Company (2021: GBP5,214,000)

-- The Company replaced its Margin Lending Facility with SC Lowy with an increased new A$15m Margin Lending Facility from a fund under the same Lender, allowing the Company to follow its rights in Sandfire's placement and enabling further acquisitions in Sandfire when deemed opportunistic.

   --   Net current assets at the year end of GBP19.2m (2021: GBP24.1m). 
   --     Loss for the year before taxation of GBP6.7m (2021: profit of GBP4.2m). 

Post Period:

-- Approval by the shareholders at a General Meeting on 20 March 2023 of a new investment policy.

-- Announced the cancellation of its admission to the AIM market, effective 31 March 2023, with the last day of trading of shares on the AIM market being the 30 March 2023.

-- Announced intention to change the name of the Company to Strata Investment Holdings shortly following the AIM Cancellation.

-- The Company has committed to subscribe to 6,666,667 Shares in Cobre at a placement issue price of A$0.15 per share, subject to Cobre shareholder approval. The meeting of the Cobre shareholders took place on the 24 March 2023, with the sought authority being approved; settlement of the subscription is due to take place imminently.

-- The Company reduced its net investment in Sandfire in the SC Lowy structure by 532,626 shares, realizing GBP1.8m.
