El Tigre Silver Corp. ("El Tigre" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:ELS)(OTCQX:EGRTF)(FRANKFURT:5RT) is pleased to announce that it has
closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private
placement (the "Private Placement") of 3,908,000 units of the Company ("Units")
at a price of $0.25 per Unit for aggregate cash proceeds of $977,000. Each Unit
will be comprised of one common share and one-half of a common share purchase

months from the date of issue at a price of $0.38, provided that, if over a
period of 20 consecutive trading days after the expiry of the hold period on the
warrants, the daily volume weighted average trading price of the common shares
of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other stock exchange on
which such shares are listed) is greater than $0.50, then at the Company's
discretion, it may, within 10 days of such 20 day period, accelerate the expiry
date of the Warrants to a date 30 days after the date of the notice. An 8% cash
finders' fee and warrants equal to 8% of the Units issued was payable on a
certain portion of the offering.
The Company will be continuing with the second tranche of the Private Placement
on the same terms and conditions announced in its September 17, 2012 news
release, subject to regulatory approval. The Company anticipates closing the
second tranche of the Private Placement within the allowable time frame provide

restricted from trading for a period of four months and a day from the date of
issuance of the Units, being February 20, 2013, in compliance with securities
legislation and TSX Venture Exchange policies.
