Tiger International Resources Inc. announced that the anticipated diamond drilling program on the company's Itogon Gold and Silver Project commenced on January 23, 2015. It is intended that the program of diamond drilling now underway will answer key geological questions with regard to the mineralized structures identified to date, and evaluate the continuity of grade in the mineralized zones intercepted by previous drilling. These zones include a surficial zone of supergene enrichment, prior intercepts from which include 16m at 17.14g/t gold from 1m (with 2m at 119.53 g/t gold from 8-10m) in drill hole ERC008 and 30m at 1.63g/t gold from surface in drill hole ERC004.

Also worthy of follow up are deeper intercepts including 33m at 1.13g/t gold from 86m in drill hole ERC006, 7m at 5.33g/t gold from 138m (with 2m at 15g/t gold from 138m) in drill hole ERC005, and, in hole ERC002, 15m at 3.29g/t gold from 82m (with 2m at 18.25g/t from 92m) plus 17m at 1.57g/t gold from 101m (with 3m at 5.45g/t gold from 103m). In addition, there may be scope for the current program to identify new mineralized structures.
