Tiger International Resources, Inc. provided update on activities at the Itogon gold project, Philippines. Three diamond drill holes (EDD001, EDD002 and EDD003) have been completed since the current drilling programme commenced on 22 January 2015. A fourth hole, EDD004, is more than three quarters complete.

EDD004 did not form part of the programme as initially planned and as announced by the Company on 22 December 2014, but has been designed subsequently to follow up positive indications from the logging of core from EDD002. Following completion of EDD004, the drill rig will be moved to the ERC002 drill pad. There it is planned that the rig will attempt to extend ERC002 and intercept a structure which was intercepted at depth by EDD002 and which is thought to be of geological significance.

ERC002 is a 150m reverse circulation (RC) hole drilled in April 2014 as part of ECR's first drilling programme at Itogon. ERC002 returned wide intercepts at depth (15m at 3.29g/t gold from 82m, with 2m at 18.25g/t from 92m; and 17m at 1.57g/t gold from 101m, with 3m at 5.45g/t gold from 103m). Excluding EDD004, 439.5m has been drilled to date in the current programme.

The target depth of EDD004 is 120m. The Company therefore remains well within its budgeted number of metres for this programme (990m). Decisions regarding further drilling in the current programme will be made on the basis of evolving geological interpretations and assay results as they become available.

Core samples from EDD001 and EDD002 are at ECR's chosen independent laboratory for analysis. Core samples from EDD003 will be despatched to the laboratory shortly. A vein striking approximately NW and dipping approximately 45 degrees to the SW was exposed in the preparation of the EDD002 drill pad.

The vein was sampled over 10m of strike using six 1m channel samples, each 2m apart.
