Drills Turning at El Tigre Silver Gold Hill Drilling Program

The 2012 core drilling program at the El Tigre Silver Corp. (TSXV:ELS,OTCQX:EGRTF,FWB:5RT) silver project in Sonora, Mexico has commenced.

As quoted in the press release:

The drill program is targeting Gold Hill, which holds a well-developed gold-silver stock work zone in the hanging wall rocks of the highly productive El Tigre silver-gold vein. The target area is approximately 1.4 kilometers long, ranges in width from about 100 meters in the Johnny crosscut area to 70 meters in the higher elevations and is 220 meters in depth. Rock chip sampling along the zone has returned a range of gold values from 0.001 to 30.2 grams/tonne and a range of silver values from 0.2 to 163 grams/tonne. The results from four drill holes from the Company’s 2011 drill program in the Gold Hill area are reported in the Company’s news release dated January 5, 2012. The company further expects that it will intersect higher grades of silver and gold values in the El Tigre vein.
