Company Statement

Orko Silver Corp. (TSX Venture Exchange: OK.V) focuses on resource exploration and development for silver, gold, and base metals in Mexico. The Company has a large land position in Durango State, a historically prolific silver mining region, located along the Sierra Madre Occidental Mountains and is involved in three main projects, La Preciosa, Santa Monica and San Juan. The Company owns a 100% interest in the La Preciosa Project and is earning a 75% interest in the adjacent Santa Monica Project from Goldcorp, Inc. (NYSE: GG) by expending $US 1.5 Million on exploration. As well, the Company has an option agreement to earn a 75% interest in the adjacent San Juan property from Silver Standard Resources Inc. (NASDAQ: SSRI) by expending $750,000 on exploration.

The Company's corporate strategy is to find, explore and develop quality exploration projects in order to maximize shareholder value.

It yielded 6.45 metres true width grading 640.6 g/t Ag and 1.101 g/t Au, for a Silver-Equivalent of 706.7 g/t including 3.92 metres true width grading 981.3 g/t Ag and 1.585g/t Au for a Silver-Equivalent of 1,076.4 g/t in hole BP06-78.
