TIGER ROYALTIES
and
INVESTMENTS Plc
("Tiger" or the "Company")
UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the six months ended 30 June 2021
Chairman's Report
Dear Shareholders,
• Net Asset Value per share - 30 Jun 2021: 0.29p / 31 Dec 2020: 0.22p (30 June 2020: 0.20p)
• Total net assets - 30 Jun 2021: £1,314k / 31 Dec 2020: £977k (30 June 2020: £374k))
The six-month period under review has been one of the best periods in the natural resource sector for many years with a resurgence in interest in both the junior explorers and major mining companies. The activity has been contra to the Coronavirus pandemic which has caused economies to suffer and many businesses to collapse. Despite the economic log-jam caused by Covid-19, countries across the world have experienced different recovery dynamics and the outlook for both soft and hard commodities remains upbeat.
We completed the IPO of our investee company, African Pioneer plc and this transaction with the associated fundraise delivered an interesting African metal exploration business to the public market. The Company also made an investment of £100,000 in Caerus Minerals Resources Plc ("Caerus") on 19 March 2021 which has since performed well. Caerus is a copper-gold resource development and exploration company with mineral exploration licences located in Cyprus.
During the period under review, the price of oil has been generally bullish and the juniors in this space have also experienced renewed interest. The increase in overall energy prices has been even more pronounced with huge price changes in gas and electricity feeding inflation and delivering a wake-up call to the cost impact of climate change policies. The period under review saw many IPOs and secondary financings, including some of a significant size which have enabled companies to pursue their missions in a more aggressive way.
As expected, competition for projects has increased and this has led to a scarcity of quality targets and overpricing of potential opportunities. Post the period under review, interest in the junior resource market has softened and almost ground to a halt in August.
Major markets continue to be firm on the basis that limited investment opportunities are available outside equities markets. Despite the huge increase in energy prices being experienced, politicians worldwide deny that inflation is imminent and are looking out towards 2023/24 for the first signs. I do not share that view and feel that the spectre of inflation is just around the corner. This will profoundly affect the balance between equities and bonds with equities likely to be the loser. Fortunately, the junior resource sector does not always perform in tandem with global equity markets and the threat of rising inflation may well work in favour of investment valuations in our industry sector.
In any event the emergence of electric vehicles, alternative energy generation and energy storage will lead to significant price increases in most of the "green" metals. We particularly favour Copper, Nickel, Vanadium, Manganese and Cobalt and will be actively pursuing investment opportunities targeting these metals on an ongoing basis.
We are of the belief that Gold will benefit from the geopolitical uncertainty, inflation and a weaker US Dollar with crypto currencies such as Bitcoin etc. not offering the safe haven that some would like to suggest.
In essence, we see the coming months seeing a renewed interest in the natural resource sector and anticipate valuations in the foreseeable future to be higher than those currently witnessed. The Company intends to strengthen its share purchases and to continue taking strategic positions with management input, in opportunities associated with the commodities identified above.
Colin Bird, Chairman
