| October 22, 2008 Orko Silver Extends Martha Vein by 400 metres | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 BP08-270. This hole is located 400 metres further southeast than any previously reported holes. Hole BP08-270 yielded a true thickness of 11.03 metres grading 0.716 g/t gold and 302.0 g/t silver for a silver-equivalent of 345.0 g/t, plus lead 1.80 % and zinc 0.68 %. Gary Cope, President of Orko, adds, "The Company has reduced the number of drill rigs on La Preciosa from 4 to 2. This measure was taken in order to conserve cash until there is visibility in the global capital markets. The Company remains well funded and as such our management team has evaluated multiple scenarios going forward and will act accordingly to protect the interests of shareholders. The decision to temporarily scale back drilling was taken as a response to the global financial crisis and is not a reflection of a change in the Company's belief in La Preciosa project and the strength of the Martha Vein as clearly demonstrated by hole BP08-270." Exploration at La Preciosa is proceeding at a high level as diamond drilling continues to intercept the Martha vein in a grid pattern to the southeast and down dip. The drilling has passed hole number BP08-340. There are approximately 80 holes being logged, sampled, at the assay labs, or being interpreted, which will provide a steady stream of news on the expanding deposit. The Resource Estimate being conducted by Mine Development Associates, an independent consulting firm, is expected in November. Key Martha Vein intercepts added for this release:
A few of the holes were drilled along the periphery of the main mineralized trend in Martha and do not make either the thickness, or the cut-off grade, requirements for the Martha vein. These include BP08-200, BP08-202, BP08-221, BP08-230 and BP08-231.
