Oceanus Resources Announces Name Change to Silver Tiger Metals Inc., New Trading Symbol “SLVR” and Private Placement
May 14, 2020HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA – May 14, 2020 - Oceanus Resources Corporation (TSXV:OCN) ("Oceanus" or the “Company”) announces that it is changing its name to Silver Tiger Metals Inc. and its trading symbol from “OCN” to “SLVR”.
Name and Trading Symbol Change
Effective at the start of trading on Wednesday, May 20, 2020, Silver Tiger Metals Inc. (“Silver Tiger”) will commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the new symbol "SLVR".
There is no change in the share capital of the Company. The Company's new CUSIP number is 82831T109 and its new ISIN number is CA82831T1093. No further action is required by existing shareholders with respect to the name change. Certificates representing common shares of the Company will not be affected by the name and symbol change and will not need to be exchanged.
CEO, Glenn Jessome, states, “We believe this name change more accurately reflects the Company's evolution as an emerging high-grade silver deposit in Sonora, Mexico. The new Silver Tiger name pays homage to the property’s namesake historic El Tigre mine. The old El Tigre mine produced over 200 million silver equivalent ounces at an average grade of over 2 kgs per ton from 1903 to 1938. The old El Tigre mine forms a small portion of our 35 kilometer long, 28,000 hectare district size property. After acquiring the El Tigre property, our technical team focused on the low hanging fruit and drilled off and delivered our maiden NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate. It is the tenor of grade at El Tigre that excites us as we begin to drill the kilometers long un-mined high-grade vein extensions to the North and South of the old El Tigre mine.”
Private Placement
The Company also announces a non-brokered private placement to raise up to $675,000 through the issuance of units at a price of $0.07 per unit. Each unit will consist of one common share and one-half warrant of the Company. Every two one-half common share purchase warrants of the Company entitles the subscriber to acquire one common share of the Company for $0.10 for a period of twenty-four months from the closing date. The Units issued pursuant to this private placement will be subject to a four month hold.
The proceeds from the private placement will be used to explore and drill the Company’s El Tigre Property in Sonora, Mexico and for general working capital purposes. The private placement is subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

About the El Tigre Property
Following the completion of the maiden El Tigre resource estimation (the full NI 43-101 technical report is posted to the Company’s website and can also be accessed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com) the Company directed its exploration efforts at identifying other areas of silver-gold mineralization across the expansive property holdings (28,414 hectares). The Company’s prospecting and mapping program identified in excess of 10 kilometers of favorable host stratigraphy (i.e. the El Tigre formation) with several areas of mineralization identified to the south, east and north-east of the old El Tigre Mine. The El Tigre formation is the rock package that hosts the historic El Tigre Mine, which operated from 1903 to 1938, and was reported to have produced a total of 353,000 ounces of gold and 67.4 million ounces of silver from 1.87 million tonnes averaging 7.54 g/t gold and 1,308 g/t silver (Steven D. Craig, B.A., M.Sc., P. Geo. 2012).
The Company’s drilling completed after filing its’ 43-101 compliant resource estimate intersected similar-style silver-gold mineralization in the El Tigre formation at the Protectora, Caleigh and Fundadora areas to the north of the old mine, as well as to the south, past Gold Hill (see Figure 1 below). Drilling to the north of the old mine by the Company returned the following impressive silver-gold intercepts:

Notes to Table:
- True width has not been calculated for each individual intercept, but true width is generally estimated at 75-90% of drilled width. Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are assumed to be 100%.
- Silver Equivalent (“AgEq75”) ratio based on silver to gold price ratio of 75:1 Ag:Au.
These diamond drill holes were some of the last holes drilled by the Company with no follow up drilling in this area having been undertaken.
As part of the Company’s mapping and sampling program in the fall of 2019 to prepare for the upcoming drilling program, channel samples were collected from legacy underground exploration tunnels and from surface samples on the Caleigh, Canon Combination (unmined portion of the El Tigre vein), Protectora and Aguila veins located north of the old El Tigre mine (see Figure 2 below).
In the Caleigh vein, approximately 2 kilometers north of the old El Tigre Mine, underground channel sample ETU-1007 returned 2,375.97 g/t silver equivalent consisting of 1,896.3 g/t silver and 6.40 g/t gold over a true width of 0.50 meters. Underground Channel Sample ETU-1006 returned 2,318.35 g/t silver equivalent consisting of 1,970.7 g/t silver and 4.64 g/t gold over a true width of 0.50 meters.
In the Canon Combination vein (unmined portion of the El Tigre vein) underground channel sample ETU-1012 returned 1,812.72 g/t silver equivalent consisting of 1,793.7 g/t silver and 0.25 g/t gold across a true width of 0.50 meters.
In the Protectora vein, approximately 2 kilometers north of the old El Tigre Mine, underground channel sample ETU-1008 returned 528.57 g/t silver equivalent consisting of 378.0 g/t silver and 2.01 g/t gold across a true width of 0.50 meters.

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.
