VANCOUVER , Nov. 13, 2015 /CNW/ – Oceanus Resources Corporation ("Oceanus") (OCN.V) and El Tigre Silver Corp. ("El Tigre") (ELS.V) 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.
