[{"type":"text","content":"Silver Tiger Has Commenced Underground Channel Sampling on the High-Grade Silver Veins North of the Historic El Tigre MineHALIFAX, NS / ACCESSWIRE / July 9, 2020 / Silver Tiger Metals Inc. (TSXV:SLVR and OTCQB:SLVTF) (\"Silver Tiger\" or the \"Corporation\") provides the following update on ongoing exploration at its wholly-owned El Tigre Silver Project located in Sonora, Mexico.The Silver Tiger exploration team have completed the first two weeks of the summer 2020 channel sampling program from legacy underground exploration tunnels and from surface samples located on the 3 kilometers of vein extensions that outcrop at surface north of the historic El Tigre Mine. The areas of focus includes the Caleigh vein, the Canon Combination vein (unmined portion of the El Tigre vein), the Protectora vein and the Fundadora vein, all of which are located in the three kilometers of exposed veins at surface north of the historic El Tigre Mine (see Appendix A - Location Map).Silver Tiger CEO, Glenn Jessome states, \"El Tigre is a very exciting brownfields exploration story. The project area consists of a district size target with multiple historic surface and underground targets. The historic El Tigre Mine is reported to have produced 67.4 million ounces of silver and 353,000 ounces of gold during the period 1903 to 1938 with reported average production grades of 1,308 grams per tonne silver and 7.54 grams per tonne gold. Our underground channel sampling of the short exploration tunnels in the exposed veins at surface located to the north of the historic mine from November 2019, and a handful of our drill holes in these same veins, returned similar-style silver-gold mineralization as found in the historic El Tigre Mine. We are pleased to have the exploration team back at El Tigre collecting additional channel samples in the northern vein extensions in a safe manner in light of COVID-19. The safety of all of our employees in Mexico is of paramount importance to us in this pandemic.\"Underground Channel Samples in Northern VeinsThe current program is intended to generate additional drill targets and follows up on the success of the underground channel sampling completed in these same vein extensions in the fall of 2019 which returned multiple high-grade values including the following.In the Caleigh vein, approximately 2 kilometers north of the ol...
