- Hole ET-22-434: 10.5 meters grading 1,642.4 g/t total silver equivalent from 370.1 meters to 380.6 meters, consisting of 914.0 g/t silver, 0.20 g/t gold, 1.68% copper, 5.92% lead and 12.42% zinc within 19.9 meters grading 1,072.9 g/t total silver equivalent from 361.7 meters to 381.6 meters consisting of 605.6 g/t silver, 0.22 g/t gold, 1.13% copper, 4.04% lead and 7.43% zinc in the Sulphide Zone.
- Hole ET-22-438: 3.7 meters grading 1,035.8 g/t total silver equivalent from 394.8 meters to 398.5 meters, consisting of 879.4 g/t silver, 0.24 g/t gold, 0.76% copper, 0.86% lead and 1.36% zinc within 19.5 meters grading 527.5 g/t total silver equivalent from 393.5 meters to 413.0 meters consisting of 408.4 g/t silver, 0.27 g/t gold, 0.53% copper, 0.88% lead and 0.83% zinc in the Sulphide Zone.
Silver Tiger's CEO, Glenn Jessome, stated, "The discovery of this high grade sulphide zone is the fourth type of mineralization found at El Tigre. The first holes through this wide high grade sulphide zone have delineated a strike length of in excess of 150 meters open to the north and south, with widths approaching 35 meters. The Historic El Tigre Mine relied only on high grade silver quartz veins. We have now discovered the stockwork, the shale zone and now this sulphide zone. All four types of mineralization will be very important to the future of El Tigre." Mr. Jessome further stated: "Our ongoing underground development will place us in the Sooy Vein directly above this sulphide zone as we transition to underground drilling to follow it north and south."
Additional drill results for Sooy Vein, Hanging Wall Gold Zone and the Sulphide Zone are presented in the Drill Hole Results table below along with the details for the calculation of the silver equivalent grades.
