Tiger scratches at funding

Copper producer Tiger Resources has secured $13.2-million in funding from senior lender Taurus Mining Finance Fund.

Tiger said on Wednesday that the new finance facility will provide interim funding support for its ongoing operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and would allow the company to pursue initiatives designed to improve the operational and financial performance of its Kipoi copper project, including capital upgrades essential for longer-term production improvement, and management of creditors.
