El Tigre Silver Corp. (the "Company" or "El Tigre") (TSX
VENTURE:ELS)(OTCQX:EGRTF)(FRANKFURT:5RT) is pleased to report that the drilling
program started on January 18, 2013 continues to perform well with 31 holes
completed and 3,714 meters drilled. El Tigre is drilling on concessions that are
part of the Company's 431 square kilometer ownership in Sonora, Mexico.
Stuart Ross, President and CEO stated, "We are very encouraged to receive these
excellent assay results from our drilling program. They continue to confirm the
strong mineralization in the 1.2 kilometer area of focus that is part of El
Tigre's 5.3 kilometer strike zone. We have approximately nine more holes to be
drilled and core from eighteen holes on site or in the assay lab, I am confident
we will continue to deliver strong results to our shareholders as the drill
program moves forward."
El Tigre believes that the property hosts a classic Mexican caldera-related,
epithermal low sulphide vein system that extends 5.3 kilometers along strike.
The drilling program is focusing on the southern 1.2 kilometer zone that has
potential for bulk mineable gold associated with the historic high grade
silver-gold veins. All the gold and silver intercepts are oxidized from pyrite
and base metal minerals to a reddish brown color.
This is the third drilling campaign that the Company has conducted in three
years. The seven holes that the Company is reporting are from the old Brown's
Shaft area of Mula Mountain where the El Tigre vein and Seitz-Kelly vein split.
The following table highlights the best intervals in each hole while the assay
summary table lists all intervals for these holes. The highest gold and silver
assay that was reported from these 7 holes was in Hole ET13-51 with 1.0 meter of
995 g/t Ag and another 1.0 meter 11.0 g/t Au.
Assay Interval Highlights:
-- ET13-51 with 21.95 meters of 1.02 g/t Au equivalent- 6.38 g/t Ag and
0.89 g/t Au

g/t Au
-- ET13-53 with 46 meters of 1.03 g/t Au equivalent- 14.37 g/t Ag and 0.74
g/t Au
-- ET13-54 with 31.6 meters of 1.44 g/t Au equivalent- 44.71 g/t Ag and
0.54 g/t Au
-- ET13-55 with 47.5 meters of 1.22 g/t Au equivalent- 34.71 g/t Ag and
0.53 g/t Au

g/t Au
-- ET13-57 with 12.8 meters of 1.40 g/t Au equivalent- 16.22 g/t Ag and
1.08 g/t Au

El Tigre's objective for this drilling program is 5,000 meters of diamond core
for approximately 40 holes. As of the end of March, 31 holes have been completed
with 3,714 meters drilled. At current advancement rates, the program is
anticipated to be completed around mid-April with all assays returned by the end
of April.
The remaining 1,286 meters of the 2013 program will fill-in around earlier holes
as needed for the planned resource block model, and test other targets northward
to the Camp area. The Company currently has core from twelve holes (ET13-58 to
69) in the assay laboratory and another six in camp waiting for transport to
assay laboratory.
