For immediate release

26 September 2019

TIGER RESOURCE PLC ("Tiger" or the "Company")

UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2019

Chairman's Report

Net Asset Value per share - 30 Jun 2019 - 0.39p / 31 Dec 2018 - 0.40p (30 June 2018 - 0.69p)

Total assets - 30 Jun 2019 - GBP728k / 31 Dec 2018 - GBP753k (30 June 2018 - GBP1.27M)

The period under review has been unfavourable for "small cap" stocks in the resource sector despite major markets remaining buoyant. The strength in the world's key stock markets does not appear to have any underlying substance and geo-political threats exist in many regions of the world. The forecast for global recession seems to be a general consensus amongst sophisticated investors, but despite this, with the exception of bonds, most asset classes remain resilient to correction.

The trade war between China and the USA has been very damaging for metal and commodity prices and the effects are now being felt in China, with growth forecasts being cut going forward. This scenario continues to have a serious impact on the share valuations of various mining conglomerates with a magnified knock-on effect being experienced in the junior resource sector. The expected increases in base metal prices have not yet materialised and the only beneficiary from these adverse conditions is Gold, which always benefits during times of geo-political tension.

Smaller companies in the natural resource sector have experienced considerable challenges with raising cash to develop their projects and only those companies, which are in or close to production are raising the necessary funding for progressive work. Companies with projects engaged in early stage exploration and non-generative work are experiencing extreme difficulties with fund raising for meaningful technical advancement.

We anticipate that ongoing political and diplomatic negotiations will alleviate most of the current geo-political tensions. My own view is that the USA/China trade war will also find some form of resolution and that Brexit will be "fudged", leaving the Middle Eastern disputes as the key political risk. Resolution of the trade war will undoubtedly result in improved metal prices and this phenomenon has been evidenced whenever rumours have emerged of a possible reconciliation of trade issues between the two key trading partners, USA and China.

We as a Board remain confident that the disposable income and new wealth creation in emerging markets will provide the catalyst on the demand side, whilst supply fundamentals continue to be very tight, due to existing mine closures and delays being experienced in the opening of new facilities to replace this lost production. This situation cannot continue without resulting in higher commodity prices, and we remain confident for the sector in the mid-term.

During the period under review, Tiger sold 2,700 Royal Dutch Shell Plc shares on 22 February 2019 realising net proceeds of GBP64,933 and crystallising a small loss of GBP8,301 on the sale. However, this investment has been held by Tiger for some years and has delivered a good yield over time which more than compensates the small loss realised. A further disposal of 625,000 shares in Block Energy Plc on 17 April 2019 produced net proceeds of GBP64,035 and a profit of GBP38,935 on the sale.

We firmly believe that the group holds a diverse portfolio of good investments, most of which should perform well as the resource sector comes back into favour, thus helping to rebuild shareholder value in the coming months.

Selected notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the six months ended 30 June 2019

   1.         Basis of preparation 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the measurement of certain non-current asset investments at fair value. The measurement basis and principal accounting policies of the Group are set out below. The financial statements have been prepared using policies based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union. These interim financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2019 have been prepared by applying the accounting policies adopted in the audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2018. As permitted, the Group has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

The financial information set out in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The group's statutory financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2018, prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

   3.         Deferred Tax 

A deferred tax asset on revaluation of AFS investments arose during the period. However, deferred tax assets are not recognised due to the unpredictability of future profit streams arising from the disposal of investments held by the Group. Losses may be carried forward indefinitely and will only be recoverable if suitable profits arise in the future.

   4.         Called Up Share Capital 

The share capital of Tiger Resource Plc consists only of fully paid ordinary shares with a nominal value of 0.1p each. All Ordinary shares are equally eligible to receive dividends and the repayment of capital and represent one vote at the shareholders' meeting of the Company.
