Del Toro Silver Corp. Receives First Royalty Payment From Gold Production at the Nick Mine

CARSON CITY, Aug. 18, 2015 - Del Toro Silver Corp. (PL:DTOR) ("Del Toro" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received the first royalty payment from gold production at the Natchez Pass Gold Property (AKA the "Nick"). Del Toro owns a 5% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") on gold production at the Nick mine, and will receive 5% of the net proceeds from any sale of the Nick to a third party, with a $300,000 minimum return from such sale.

Natchez Pass LLC conducted limited placer mining operations during the month of July which produced 23.74 troy ounces of placer gold. Del Toro received 1.19 troy ounces of placer gold for its 5% NSR payment. Mining efforts were intermittent and focused on bulk sampling of test trenches. Several bulk samples showed placer gold grades greater than 10 grams per cubic yard. Issues with the water supply and feed system on the wash plant limited the processing to below 10% of monthly capacity and resulted in less than optimal gold recovery. Operations at the mine have been temporarily suspended to address the wash plant issues and further develop a mining plan based on the results of the testing.

Del Toro CFO Patrick Fagen states, "Receiving the first royalty payment from the Nick is an important milestone achievement for Del Toro. We chose to take our royalty in gold to memorialize the first production. While the royalty was modest, it demonstrates the commercial viability of the deposit and the potential for a future steady and material royalty revenue stream. The bulk testing results have been very promising and once the processing issues can be addressed, we expect to see more consistent production at the mine."
