About the El Tigre Historic Mine District
The El Tigre historic mine district is located in Sonora, Mexico and lies at the northern end of the Sierra
Madre silver and gold belt which hosts many epithermal silver and gold deposits, including Dolores, Santa
Elena and Las Chispas at the northern end. In 1896, gold was first discovered on the property in the Gold
Hill area and mining started with the Brown Shaft in 1903. The focus soon changed to mining high -grade
silver veins in the area with production coming from 3 parallel veins the El Tigre Vein, the Seitz Kelley
113822058v2
Vein and the Sooy Vein. Underground mining on the middle El Tigre vein extended 1,450 meters along
strike and was mined on 14 levels to a depth of approximately 450 meters. The Seitz Kelley Vein was
developed along strike for 1 kilometer t o a depth of approximately 200 meters. The Sooy Vein was only
mined along strike for 250 meters to a depth of approximately 150 meters. Mining abruptly stopped on all
3 of these veins when the price of silver collapsed to less than 20¢ per ounce with the o nset of the Great
Depression. By the time the mine closed in 1932, it is reported to have produced a total of 353,000 ounces
of gold and 67.4 million ounces of silver from 1.87 million tons (Craig, 2012). The average grade mined
during this period was over 2 kilograms silver equivalent per ton.
The El Tigre silver and gold deposit is related to a series of high -grade epithermal veins controlled by a
north-south trending structure cutting across the andesitic and rhyolitic tuffs of the Sierra Madre Volcani c
Complex within a broad silver and gold mineralized prophylitic alteration zone developed in the El Tigre
Formation that can be up to 150 meters wide. The veins dip steeply to the west and are typically 0.5 meter
wide but locally can be up to 5 meters in width. The veins, structures and mineralized zones outcrop on
surface and have been traced for 5.3 kilometers along strike in our brownfield exploration area. Historical
mining and exploration activities focused on a 1.6 kilometer portion of the southern e nd of the deposits,
principally on the El Tigre, Seitz Kelly and Sooy veins. The under explored Caleigh, Benjamin, Protectora
and the Fundadora exposed veins continue north for more than 3 kilometers. Silver Tiger has delivered its
maiden 43-101 compliant resource estimate and is currently drilling to update its resource estimate and
publish a PEA.
El Tigre Resource Estimate
After acquiring El Tigre, Silver Tiger drilled 12,500 meters to define the wide halo of near surface gold
mineralization around the mined high-grade veins of the historic El Tigre Mine. This allowed Silver Tiger
to deliver a maiden resource estimate for the El Tigre Property to a depth of 150 meters containing indicated
resources of 661,000 gold equivalent ounces at 0.77 g/t (21 g/t silver and 0.51 g/t gold) and inferred
resources of 341,000 gold equivalent ounces at 1.59 g/t (88 g/t silver and 0.52 g/t gol d). The National
Instrument 43-101 Technical Report titled “NI 43 -101 Technical Report and Updated Mineral Resource
Estimate on the El Tigre Project, Sonora, México” effective as of September 7, 2017 and dated October 26,
