El Tigre Reports Continued Strong Assay Results from Stockwork Target

02/05/2013 2:15pm

Marketwired Canada


El Tigre Silver Corp. (the "Company" or "El Tigre")
(TSXV:ELS)(OTCQX:EGRTF)(FRANKFURT:5RT) is pleased to report further assay
results from the 2013 drilling program that was concluded on April 12, 2013. A
total of 38 holes were completed and 4,862 metres drilled. This drill program is
targeting a 1.2 kilometre stockwork zone on concessions that are part of the
Company's 431 square kilometre ownership in Sonora, Mexico.


The highest silver assay that was reported in this round of samples was in Hole
ET13-71 with 0.3 metres of 1,940 g/t Ag. The longest mineralized intercept from
this round of samples was in ET13-67 with 85.50 metres of 0.88 g/t Au equiv. The
company also reports these intervals as "core length" and is not "true width"
because not enough information exists at this time to determine true width.


This is the fourth round of assays and consists of five drill holes (ET13-67 to
71). These holes covered an on strike distance of 180 metres and were located on
both Mula Mountain and Gold Hill and centered on Tigre Viejo Canyon. El Tigre
believes that the property hosts a classic caldera-related, epithermal low
sulphide vein system that extends 5.3 kilometres along strike. The drilling
program is focusing on the southern 1.2 kilometre zone that has potential for
bulk mineable gold associated with the historic high grade silver gold veins.
All the gold and silver intercepts are oxidized to a reddish brown color after
pyrite and base metal minerals.


The following table identifies the most notable intervals in each hole. The
assay summary table lists all intervals for these holes.

El Tigre's objective for this drilling program was to obtain up to 5,000 metres
of diamond drill core to provide sufficient information to develop a resource
model over the 1.2 kilometre long mineralized zone centered on Gold Hill and
Mula Mountain. This objective was met, and with the drill holes from 2011 and
2012, the Company has the data to complete a resource model and new technical
report. Any potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been
insufficient exploration at the El Tigre Property to define a mineral resource.
It is uncertain if further exploration will result in discovery of a mineral
resource.


The Company is awaiting assay results for the last 11 core holes (ET13-72 to 82)
and anticipates all assays to be completed by mid-May. 


In the last press release, El Tigre reported that Hole ET13-66 contained 0.4
metres of 3,030 g/t Ag (88.5 opt Ag) and 235 g/t Au (6.86 opt Au). This interval
and eight others were assayed from newly prepared pulp and the results confirmed
the original assays. 


Stuart Ross, President and CEO stated, "These assays continue to confirm the
strong mineralization in the 1.2 kilometre area of focus that is part of El
Tigre's 5.3 kilometre strike zone. Once the final 11 holes are assayed and
reported we will be compiling the information from this year's 4,862 metres of
drilling with the previous work done on the property into a NI 43-101 compliant
technical report. We anticipate this will provide the El Tigre property's first
resource model." 


Quality Control-Quality Assurance: Drilling was performed by Major Drilling de
Mexico, SA de CV from Hermosillo, Sonora. The core is retrieved by El Tigre
geologists and taken to the secure core storage building for measuring, logging,
splitting and bagging. Standards and blanks are inserted randomly every 20
samples to ensure a high standard of quality assurance-quality control during
the assaying process. Prepared samples are then transported by El Tigre
geologists to Hermosillo to the Skyline Laboratories, Inc. shipment facility.
From there they are transported by Skyline personnel to Tucson Arizona where
they are crushed and pulped for assaying in the Skyline lab. Gold is derived
from a 30 gram charge, fire assayed and determined by gravimetric methods.
Silver is determined by first dissolving the sample in aqua regia followed by
Atomic Absorption (AA). 


Over limits are determined by fire assay and gravimetric methods. 

The technical content of this news release has been approved by Steven D. Craig,
CPG and Vice President of Exploration for El Tigre, a Qualified Person as
defined in NI 43-101.
