Drill
Hole
202 was drilled to test the down dip potential of
the
Sooy
Vein
targeting just under the lowest mine level approximately 150 meters
from surface where mining ceased abruptly with the onset of the
Great Depression in 1930. Drill Hole 202 passed through mine
workings on the Sooy
Vein
as it
was not targeted deep enough below the workings. The
technical team opted to
continue
drilling
beyond
the
footwall of the
Sooy
Vein
and
discovered a new style of wide high grade
mineralization in
the Flat Formation that is
not the
traditional quartz vein ore
that
had been previously mined at El Tigre.

Results Table below for the calculation
of the silver equivalent grades.
Silver
Equivalent ("EqAg")
grades
are
based on a silver to gold price ratio of 75:1 (Au:Ag).
Copper, lead and zinc are converted using $3.66/lb copper, $0.90/lb
lead, $1.26/lb zinc at 100% metal recoveries based on a silver
price of $26.00/oz.
"The
decision by the technical team to continue drilling 50 meters past
the targeted Sooy
Vein
has been rewarded by the discovery of a wide zone of high grade
mineralization totally unlike the quartz vein ore previously mined
at El Tigre" said Glenn Jessome,
President and CEO of Silver Tiger. "We are of the view that
we have discovered what may be a significant new style of
wide
high grade mineralization
to
target with our exploration that was in the
past overlooked."
The
mineralized intersection in Hole 202 is
1.2
kilometers
along
strike to the
south
of the newly
discovered
Benjamin
Vein, also in the Flat Formation, that
was
announced last
week. Silver Tiger
is immediately
following up with two drill rigs to further test the
down dip potential of the unmined Sooy
Vein
and this new style
wide
mineralized zone outside the vein in the Flat
Formation.
In
1896, gold was first discovered on the El Tigre
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 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
eastern
Seitz
Kelley Vein was mined
along
strike for 1 kilometer to a depth of approximately
200
meters.
The western
Sooy
Vein was only mined along strike for 250 meters to a depth
of approximately
150
meters (see attached Plan Map of El Tigre Veins
and
Drill Holes). Mining
abruptly stopped on all 3 of these veins when the price of silver
collapsed to less than 20¢ per ounce
with
the onset of the Great Depression in
1930.
By the
time the mine closed in 1930, 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.

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 gold). 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, 2017 prepared by David

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
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 mine along strike for
1 kilometer
to 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 onset of the Great Depression.
By the
time the mine closed in
1930, 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.
Silver
Tiger's district scale El Tigre concessions are approximately 35
kilometers long and comprise 28,414 hectares, including 25
kilometers of the prolific Sierra Madre trend. 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 Volcanic
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 1.5 kilometer
portion
of the southern end of the deposits, principally on the El Tigre,
Seitz Kelly and Sooy veins. The unexplored Caleigh, the
Protectora and the Fundadora exposed veins
continue north for more than 3 kilometers and are the target of
Silver Tiger's current exploration.
Silver
Tiger's limited drilling in these vein extensions located north of
the historic El Tigre Mine intersected similar-style silver-gold
mineralization in the El Tigre formation including a new discovery
in the Caleigh Vein. Drill hole ET-17-144 returned 0.85 meters of
the Caleigh Vein grading 10,128.9 g/t silver equivalent consisting
of 7,338.9 g/t silver, 37.2 g/t gold (75:1 Ag:Au).
Drill hole 144 was a step-out hole located approximately 1.7
kilometers to the north of the historic El Tigre Mine. The
mineralized zone consists of several vuggy quartz veins and
veinlets carrying galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, stromeyerite
and pyrite within a strongly silicified and kaolinized alteration
zone. As well, drill holes ET-17-145 and ET-17-148, which were
drilled by Silver Tiger in its previous drill program, intersected
similar-style silver-gold mineralization.
.
The
Silver Tiger exploration team is fully funded for and is currently
diamond drilling 20,000 meters of HQ core with three drill rigs
targeting the 3 kilometers of vein extensions north of the historic
El Tigre Mine. The drilling program is focused on the Caleigh, the
Protectora and the Fundadora veins, all of which outcrop on surface
and are exposed in exploration drifts in the three kilometers north
of the historic El Tigre Mine.

Procedure,
Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Data
Verification
The
diamond drill core (HQ size) is geologically logged, photographed
and marked for sampling. When the sample lengths are determined,
the full core is sawn with a diamond blade core saw with one half
of the core being bagged and tagged for assay. The remaining half
portion is returned to the core trays for storage and/or for
metallurgical test work.
The
sealed and tagged sample bags are transported to the Bureau Veritas
facility in Hermosillo, Mexico. Bureau Veritas crushes the samples
(Code PRP70-250) and prepares 200-300 gram pulp samples with ninety
percent passing Tyler 200 mesh (Code PUL85). The pulps are assayed
for gold using a 30-gram charge by fire assay (Code
FA630)
and over limits greater than 10 grams per tonne are re-assayed
using a gravimetric finish (Code FA530). Silver and multi-element
analysis is completed using total digestion (Code MA200 Total
Digestion ICP). Over limits greater than 100 grams per tonne silver
are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code FA530).
Quality
assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") procedures monitor the
chain-of-custody of the samples and includes the systematic
insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference materials
(certified standards, blanks and duplicates) into the sample
strings. The results of the assaying of the QA/QC material included
in each batch are tracked to ensure the integrity of the assay
data. All results stated in this announcement have
passed Silver
Tiger's
QA/QC
protocols.
