Oceanus Resources And El Tigre Silver Announce Closing Of Arrangement
Nov 13, 2015Not for distribution to US wire services or for dissemination in the United States of America
Oceanus Resources Corporation ("Oceanus") (TSXV:OCN) and El Tigre Silver Corp. ("El Tigre") (TSXV:ELS) are pleased to announce the completion, following the receipt of the final order of the Court on November 10, 2015, of the previously announced arrangement agreement (the "Agreement") that combines their respective companies by way of a statutory plan of arrangement pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Transaction"), under which Oceanus acquired all of the outstanding common shares of El Tigre ("El Tigre Shares") in exchange for common shares of Oceanus ("Oceanus Shares").
The Transaction combines Oceanus's La Lajita high grade gold property located in Durango, Mexico (the "La Lajita Property") with El Tigre's tailings reprocessing project and its rights to mineral concessions in north-eastern Sonora, Mexico (the "El Tigre Property") into one business.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Oceanus acquired each outstanding El Tigre Share in exchange for 0.2839 of one Oceanus Share (the "Exchange Ratio"). In connection with the Transaction, "in-the-money" warrants and stock options to purchase El Tigre Shares were transferred to El Tigre in exchange for that number of El Tigre Shares as was equal to the value of the "in-the-money" amount of the warrant or option, and such El Tigre Shares so issued were subsequently treated as per the remainder of the outstanding El Tigre Shares in the arrangement. Outstanding warrants and options that were not "in-the-money" were cancelled.
The Exchange Ratio represented consideration to El Tigre shareholders of $0.0954 per El Tigre Share based on a price of $0.336 for each Oceanus Share. This value implied a 46.8% premium over the September 15, 2015 closing price of the El Tigre Shares of $0.065.
Oceanus Shares are to continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), while El Tigre Shares will be delisted from the TSXV and an application will be made for El Tigre to cease to be a reporting issuer.

Cautionary Note to US Investors
The disclosure on this Website has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. Disclosure, including scientific or technical information, has been made in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. As a result, information contained on this Website containing descriptions of the mineral properties or estimates of mineral reserves or resources of Silver Tiger is not comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies in reports filed with the SEC.
For example, the terms "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources", "inferred mineral resources", "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" are used on this Website to comply with the reporting standards in Canada. While those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them.
Under the rules and regulations of the SEC set forth in Industry Guide 7, a U.S. company may only disclose estimates of proven and probable mineral reserves, and may not disclose estimates of any classification of mineral resources. In addition, the definitions of proven and probable mineral reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions in the SEC Industry Guide 7. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into mineral reserves. Any estimate of mineral reserves or resources has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence, and great uncertainty as to its economic and legal feasibility with estimates of mineral resources having a greater degree of uncertainty. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources or inferred mineral resources will ever be upgraded to a mineral reserve or mined. Further, in accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of the reported measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources on this Website will ever be classified as a reserve. Disclosure of "contained ounces" is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute reserves as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
