METERS OF 638.4 g/t AgEq IN THE SOOY VEIN
HALIFAX,
NOVA SCOTIA – March 9, 2021 – InvestorsHub
NewsWire -- Silver Tiger Metals Inc. (TSXV:SLVR
and OTCQX:SLVTF)
("Silver Tiger" or the "Corporation") ") has intersected 2.95
meters grading 1,941.1 grams per tonne silver equivalent within 9.3
meters grading 638.4 grams per tonne silver equivalent in Drill
Hole ET-21-203. This hole
was drilled on Section 4875N to test the Footwall Zone about 25m
to the south along strike from the Discovery Hole ET-20-202.
Drill Hole ET-21-207 has intersected 1.30 meters grading 2,657.8
grams per tonne silver equivalent within 4.55 meters grading 810.2
grams per tonne silver equivalent was collared on Section 4825N to
test the Footwall Zone about 75m to the south along strike from
Discovery Hole ET-20-202. See attached El Tigre Cross Sections
4875N and 4825N. Plan Map of El Tigre Veins and Drill Holes
is also attached.
As
previously reported, Discovery Drill Hole ET-20-202 intersected
11.75 meters grading 667.9 grams per tonne silver equivalent within
22.2 meters grading 381.9 grams per tonne silver equivalent
approximately 12 meters beyond the footwall
of the Sooy Vein. 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 (refer to Silver Tiger
press release dated February 2, 2021).

Hole Highlights:
•
Drill
Hole ET-21-203 intersected 2.95
meters
grading 1,941.1 g/t AgEq within 9.30 meters grading 638.4 g/t
AgEq in the Footwall Zone
below the Sooy Vein.
•
Drill
Hole ET-21-207 intersected 1.30
meters grading 2,657.8 g/t AgEq within 4.55 meters grading 810.2
g/t AgEq in the Footwall Zone
below the Sooy
Vein.
See
details in Drill Hole ET-20-203 and 207 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.
Silver
Tiger's CEO, Glenn Jessome, stated, "The significance of these 2
new holes is we have followed and confirmed the new "Footwall
Discovery Zone" for an initial strike
length of 75m to the south of hole ET-21-202. The zone is still
very high grade and it's still in the same physical location in all
three holes in the footwall behind the actual Sooy Vein. So,
we are starting to see this new zone has a similar
strike to the Sooy vein and has some dimension and scale with
potentially mineable widths and grades."

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 Burga,

About
the El Tigre Historic Mine District
Silver
Tiger Metals Inc. is a Canadian company whose
management
has more than 25 years' experience discovering, financing and
building large hydrothermal silver projects in Mexico. Silver
Tiger's 100% owned 25,500 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 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 mined 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.
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 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.

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.
