Tiger Resources Completes A$7,500,000 Placement

PERTH , Western Australia , Nov. 13 /CNW/ - Tiger Resources Ltd (ASX/TSX - TGS) ("Tiger" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the placement of 50 million ordinary shares (the "Shares") at a price of A$0.15 per Share to Trafigura Beheer BV ("Trafigura") for proceeds of A$7,500,000.

On 9 November 2009 the Company announced it had entered into a conditional agreement with Trafigura for a combined equity and debt financing package for a total of US$33.9 million. The financing package comprises:

    
    -   Placement of 50 million shares at an issue price of A$0.15 for
         proceeds of A$7,500,000 (US$6.9 million).
    -   Loan note debt facility for US$12 million.
    -   Subordinated debt facility for US$15 million.
    

The equity component of this financing package has now been completed. The proceeds of the placement will be used for the acquisition of the outstanding 15% interest in Tiger Congo sprl from Groupe Orgaman for US$3 million in cash, to fund the follow up drilling programme at Tiger's wholly owned, highly prospective Sase prospect (which is expected to commence in December 2009 ) and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Completion of the loan note and subordinated debt facilities are subject to various conditions precedent including completion of detailed documentation, receipt of shareholder and Toronto Stock Exchange approval and, in the case of the subordinated debt facility, the US$16 million senior debt facility (the Nedbank facility) being in place and available. The detailed documentation is currently being prepared and it is anticipated that the shareholder meeting to approve aspects of the financing package will be held in the first quarter of 2010. Further information regarding the shareholder meeting (including meeting materials) will be provided to Tiger shareholders in due course.

In accordance with the requirements of the ASX, an Appendix 3B in respect of the 50 million Shares referred to in this announcement is being lodged with the ASX concurrently with this announcement.
