CEO, Glenn Jessome states, “after delivering our maiden 43-101 compliant resource estimate by drilling the vein halo around the high-grade underground veins of the historic El Tigre mine, it is now time to get on with drilling the kilometers long northern and southern unmined vein extensions of the old mine on our 35 km, 28,000 ha, district size property in Sonora, Mexico. The historic El Tigre mine produced over 200 million silver equivalent ounces at an average grade of over 2 kgs per ton from 1903 to 1938. It is this tenor of grade which has the Silver Tiger exploration team biting at the bit to get back drilling at El Tigre.”

About Silver Tiger

Following the completion of the maiden El Tigre resource estimation (the full NI 43-101 technical report is posted to the Company’s website at www.silvertigermetals.com 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.  Drilling to the north of the old mine by the Company returned the following impressive silver-gold intercepts:

Notes to Table:

  1. 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%.
  2. 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.  The Company intends to recommence drilling these unmined Northern high-grade vein extensions.
