VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(May 10, 2011) - El Tigre Silver Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ELS)(PINK SHEETS:EGRTF)(FRANKFURT:5RT) is pleased to announce diamond drill and assay results from its third exploration target on the Companys 43,000 hectare El Tigre mining concessions in Sonora, Mexico (the "El Tigre Property").

Stuart Ross, El Tigres President and CEO, stated: "The results of the drilling on Mule Mountain are a first attempt in an area in which little is known. ET -28 passed 40 meters above the target. However, even so, the hole encountered interesting silver gold values where it cut the El Tigre Vein. As we continue to collect data from the bottom of ET-25, ET-29, and ET-30 we will be able to further understand the significance of what we are encountering."

Assays were received from Diamond Drill Hole ET-28 that advanced North 75 East inclined 45 degrees East to intersect the Level 7 crosscut at its intersection with the Seitz Kelly vein. The Level 7 Crosscut intersected 35 metres of approximately 165 grams silver per metric ton (4.5 ounces silver per ton) and 12 grams gold per metric ton (0.350 ounces gold per ton) of which 5 meters assayed 720 grams silver per metric ton (21 ounces silver per ton) in historic mine data. The crosscut defines the second of four exploration targets drilled by the Company during February and March along 2.5 kilometers of the El Tigre Vein system (see

Little is known about this target apart from historic assays from the El Tigre Combination Gold Mining Company shown above and collected prior to 1935. The mine plan shows the Crosscut Drill Hole ET-28 and additional vein targets projected to the 7 Level.

Level 7 was a drain and haulage level with no exploration drilling or drifting and was parallel and away from the known veins. Maps and monthly reports show ore shoots stoped out in overlying levels were not drilled or drifted on this Level. The Level 7 Plan shows these mineralized zones projected to 7 Level as future exploration targets.

Drill Hole ET-28 is located on Mule Mountain 300 meters south of Espuelas Canyon and advanced 401.55 meters through the El Tigre vein from 185 to 225 meters to encounter the Sietz Kelly quartz vein from 352.15 to 368 meters ( A series of faults, shear zones, veins, and breccias in the El Tigre Vein Zone show the following assays:

ET-28 intersected the Sietz Kelly Vein approximately 40 meters above the Level 7 target. The hole encountered a massive bull quartz vein from 343 to 356 meters and a streak of base metal mineralization 0.71 meters wide from 375 to 375 meters assaying 603 grams silver, 0.058 grams gold, 1430 ppm Cu, 20 ppm Pb and 110 ppm Zn. Results are illustrated on

About The Company

The Company, through its subsidiaries, holds the rights to 100% of nine mineral concessions totaling 43,098 hectares located in north-eastern Sonora, Mexico (the "El Tigre Property"). The El Tigre Silver Mine was historically a significant producer of high grade silver in Mexico, having produced an estimated 75 million ounces of silver at an average grade of 40 ounces per ton. The Company has completed a 2313 meter drill program and is expecting additional assay results shortly. Diamond Drilling is exploring low-grade silver-gold mineralization that is believed to extend for approximately 2.5 kilometers along the strike of the vein system.
