About Silver Tiger Metals Inc.
Silver Tiger Metals is a Canadian company, the management of which has more than 25 years of experience discovering, financing and building large hydrothermal silver projects in Mexico. Silver Tiger's 100-per-cent-owned 28,414-hectare Historic El Tigre mining district is located in Sonora, Mexico. Principled environmental, social and governance practices are core priorities at Silver Tiger. 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 three 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 metres along strike and was mined on 14 levels to a depth of approximately 450 metres. The Seitz Kelley vein was mined along strike for one kilometre to a depth of approximately 200 metres. The Sooy vein was only mined along strike for 250 metres to a depth of approximately 150 metres. Mining abruptly stopped on all three of these veins when the price of silver collapsed to less than 20 cents 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 two 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 volcanic complex within a broad silver and gold mineralized prophylitic alteration zone developed in the El Tigre formation that can be up to 150 metres wide. The veins dip steeply to the west and are typically 0.5 metre wide but locally can be up to five metres in width. The veins, structures and mineralized zones outcrop on surface and have been traced for 5.3 kilometres along strike in the brownfield exploration area. Historical mining and exploration activities focused on a 1.6-kilometre portion of the southern end of the deposits, principally on the El Tigre, Seitz Kelly and Sooy veins. The underexplored Caleigh, Benjamin, Protectora and Fundadora exposed veins continue north for more than three kilometres. Silver Tiger has delivered its maiden National Instrument 43-101-compliant resource estimate and is currently drilling to update its resource estimate and publish a preliminary economic assessment (PEA).
