Diamond Drill Hole ET-26 is located 25 meters south of the Level 4 Crosscut that intersected 37 meters of 156 grams silver per metric ton (5.0 ounces silver per ton) in historic data. The crosscut defines the Espuelas Canyon target and is the first of four targets drilled by the Company. Drill Hole ET 26 returned the strongest results to date at 11.69 meters (true width) grading 180 grams silver per metric tonne (5.3 ounces silver per ton). Additional results from the remaining holes will be reported as assays are received.
Stuart Ross, El Tigres President and CEO states, "We are thrilled with the results of this drill hole in that we were not only able to confirm but exceed the historical grade. It is important to note that drill hole ET-26 is in an area where no workings were encountered. This indicates to us that to the original miners left substantial material with grades similar to our results. We look forward to the additional assays that are coming from this drill program and are excited to move this project forward with continued exploration of the two-and-one-half kilometer strike zone to the south."
