/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO US WIRE SERVICES OR

VANCOUVER, Nov. 13, 2015 /CNW/ - Oceanus Resources
Corporation ("Oceanus") (TSXV:OCN) and El Tigre
Silver Corp. ("El Tigre") (TSXV:ELS) are pleased to
announce the completion, following the receipt of the final order
of the Court on November 10, 2015, of
the previously announced arrangement agreement (the
"Agreement") that combines their respective companies by way
of a statutory plan of arrangement pursuant to the Business
Corporations Act (British
Columbia) (the "Transaction"), under which Oceanus
acquired all of the outstanding common shares of El Tigre ("El
Tigre Shares") in exchange for common shares of Oceanus
("Oceanus Shares").
The Transaction combines Oceanus's La
Lajita high grade gold property located in Durango, Mexico (the "La Lajita
Property") with El Tigre's
tailings reprocessing project and its rights to mineral concessions
in north-eastern Sonora, Mexico
(the "El Tigre Property") into one business.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Oceanus acquired each
outstanding El Tigre Share in exchange for 0.2839 of one Oceanus
Share (the "Exchange Ratio"). In connection with the
Transaction, "in-the-money" warrants and stock options to purchase
El Tigre Shares were transferred to El
Tigre in exchange for that number of El Tigre Shares as was
equal to the value of the "in-the-money" amount of the warrant or
option, and such El Tigre Shares so issued were subsequently
treated as per the remainder of the outstanding El Tigre Shares in
the arrangement. Outstanding warrants and options that were not
"in-the-money" were cancelled.
The Exchange Ratio represented consideration to El Tigre shareholders of $0.0954 per El Tigre Share based on a price of
$0.336 for each Oceanus Share. This
value implied a 46.8% premium over the September 15, 2015 closing price of the El Tigre
Shares of $0.065.
Oceanus Shares are to continue to trade on the TSX Venture
Exchange (the "TSXV"), while El Tigre Shares will be
delisted from the TSXV and an application will be made for
El Tigre to cease to be a
reporting issuer.
