El Tigre Silver Reports Final Drill Assays and NI 43-101 Resource Modeling Work Underway

23/05/2013 2:15pm

Marketwired Canada


El Tigre Silver Corp. (the "Company" or "El Tigre") (TSX
VENTURE:ELS)(FRANKFURT:5RT)(OTCQX:EGRTF) is pleased to report that the final
five drill hole assay results from the 2013 drilling program have been received.
A total of 38 core holes were completed and 4,862 metres drilled along the 1.2
kilometre stock work zone on concessions that are part of the Company's 431
square kilometre ownership in Sonora, Mexico. 


Hard Rock Consulting LLC, of Lakewood Colorado ("Hard Rock") has now been
retained to complete a Prefeasibility Study of the tailings and a resource model
of the El Tigre mineralized zone.


The highest silver assay that was reported in this round of samples was in Hole
ET13-81 with 0.7 metres of 653 g/t Ag (19 ounces/ton Ag). The longest
mineralized intercept from this round of samples was in ET13-78 with 30.35
metres of 1.28 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 sixth and final round of assays reported by El Tigre, and it
consists of five drill holes (ET13-78 to 82).  Four of these holes were
distributed over 300 metres of the zone and centered on the Browns Shaft area on
Mula Mountain. The fifth hole (ET13-82) was drilled to test the El Tigre vein
one kilometre north of the current drilling program. 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 had focused on
the southern 1.2 kilometre zone that has potential for bulk mineable gold
associated with the historic high grade silver and gold veins.


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

El Tigre has retained Hard Rock to complete a Prefeasibility Study of the
tailings recovery project and a resource model of the silver and gold
mineralization found in the 1.2 kilometre, Mula Mountain and Gold Hill
mineralized zone.  This work can now proceed quickly with the completion of all
assays from the recent drilling program in this zone. The Company anticipates
that all work will be completed on the NI 43-101 technical report by about June
30, 2013. 


Currently, 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.  


Stuart Ross, President and CEO stated, "I am very pleased to have retained a
highly qualified consulting firm with extensive experience in Mexico to complete
a Prefeasibility Study on the tailings and to develop the resource model on the
1.2 kilometre mineralized zone." 


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.
