VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Orko Silver Corp. (TSX.V - OK) is pleased to announce that it has received further assay results from its on-going diamond drilling program at La Preciosa Project in Durango, Mexico. Of particular note is a thick, high-grade intercept for the Martha Vein in hole BP08-289. This hole is located on the eastern side of the mineralized trend. Hole BP08-289 yielded a true thickness of 7.30 metres grading 0.312 g/t gold and 406.5 g/t silver for a silver-equivalent of 425.3 g/t. Also, hole BP08-273 yielded a true thickness of 10.35 metres grading 0.386 g/t gold and 208.8 g/t silver for a silver-equivalent of 231.0 g/t. Gary Cope, President of Orko, adds: "We are very encouraged with this set of drill results, particularly with the increasing grades and widths of the Martha Vein as evidenced in holes 273 and 289. We remain very optimistic about the future of La Preciosa and anticipate releasing our next 43-101 compliant Resource Estimate next month." Key Martha Vein intercepts added for this release:
Several holes were either drilled along the periphery of the main mineralized trend in Martha or do not make either the thickness, or the cut-off grade, requirements for the Martha vein. These include BP08-203, BP08-204, BP08-205, BP08-207, BP08-232, BP08-233, BP08-240, BP08-245, BP08-247, BP08-295, and BP08-298.
