Del Toro Silver Corp. New President’s Letter

Carson City, Nevada (November 15, 2011) – Del Toro Silver Corp. (OTCBB: DTOR) (“Del Toro” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce an open letter from its new president.

This New President’s Letter is now posted at our website http://www.deltorosilver.com

The complete text is pasted below.

Dear Shareholders and Interested Parties:

“A new strategy, a new beginning.”

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Greg Painter, and I am the new President and CEO of Del Toro Silver Corp. The Company’s new CFO is Patrick Fagen. Mr. Fagen and I are the Company’s sole board members. We acquired control of Del Toro on August 26, 2011, by purchasing through our holding company a large block of shares from the past CEO and President, Mark McLeary. This transaction was facilitated through discussions with Mr. McLeary about our vision for the Company and the opportunities and talents we bring to Del Toro.

There is no doubt that the world economic situation is in turmoil. Many countries are debasing their currencies, and the US dollar is hovering around its historic lows. In these tough financial times investors are seeking safe havens for their money and moving more of it into precious metals. The price of gold has seen a meteoric rise over the past few years, and the demand for the metal is strong. Surprisingly, though, most junior gold company stocks have not seen a corresponding or proportionate increase in value, even though future gold production is projected to lag far behind world demand.

In my opinion the main reason for this sluggish stock performance is that most of the juniors are focused on “elephant hunting” in the hope of finding the next big mine. These ventures are very speculative and costly. Exploration budgets can run in the millions of dollars with no guarantee of return. If a deposit is found, it usually consists of marginal, low grade disseminated ore that requires the mining and processing of huge quantities of material for profitability. Additional tens of millions of dollars and many years may be required to get through the permitting process (if possible at all), build a mill and develop a mine to production. Feasible large scale projects are very rare, and yet they remain the focus of most every junior exploration company. It is difficult to sift through the prospects, evaluate their value and cut through the hype.

Our new management team has revised Del Toro’s corporate strategy to target high grade precious metals properties, located in the western US, with the potential for near-term production and positive cash flow. Even though public companies have had little interest in such properties due to depressed gold prices and permitting issues, there is currently a big demand for these types of properties in the private and international markets. With the current high price of gold, this niche market offers many opportunities ignored or overlooked by the junior gold companies. Our new corporate strategy is to best position Del Toro to capitalize on this opportunity and build shareholder value.

CFO Patrick Fagen has had the opportunity to be introduced to several such properties through his consulting business – California Mining Consultants, LLC. He visits and evaluates numerous mines each year throughout California, Oregon, Arizona and Nevada and has developed strong relationships in the western US mining industry. Most mines Pat Fagen visits are not economically viable ventures, either due to permitting issues, milling constraints or low ore grades. Occasionally, he will find a property, usually consisting of a past producing mine, that presents an excellent opportunity for profitable near-term production. The permitting process and development work required to put such a property into production usually proves to be too complicated, time consuming and expensive for the current private owner. These circumstances make the owner very receptive to a JV and/or buyout offer. Del Toro intends to pick the very best of such properties and pursue their acquisition and development. Pat has already successfully accomplished this strategy in the private sector with the recent permitting and development of three high grade California gold mines. Del Toro intends to expand the scope of this strategy to position the Company as a leader in this niche gold market.

We look at this opportunity as a new beginning for Del Toro and are excited to be in such a position. While pursuing our new corporate strategy, we will continue with previous management’s plans as indicated by the recently commenced drill program at Dos Naciones with Yale Resources. Results of this program are expected in the very near future. Stockholders are encouraged to keep in mind that Del Toro currently has less than 4.2 million shares in the public float. The new management team is dedicated to achieving maximum stockholder value through the acquisition and development of near-term production properties.

Thank you for your support of Del Toro. We are committed to making the Company a success and believe strongly in our new strategy. We will be using our extensive contacts in the industry to strengthen our board of directors and management team with professionals with the same vision for Del Toro. I believe we will soon have all of the ingredients needed for success in an untapped market and am excited at the promising opportunities to grow the Company.
