Oremex continues to focus on its two key properties: the Tejamen Silver Property and San Lucas high grade silver-gold property. An independent resource study (NI 43-101 compliant, as reported in April 11, 2006 news release, has concluded that the Tejamen Silver Property contains a silver- equivalent resource of 50.8 million ounces in a total of 22.6 million tonnes, grading a silver-equivalent of 69.8 grams per tonne (2.04 ounces per ton).
At the San Lucas Property, a 19-hole drill program outlined a high grade silver-gold mineralized system with lead and zinc in volcanic rocks over a two-kilometre strike length. Preliminary surface mapping and sampling have traced the zone for an additional two kilometres along strike from the original drilling. Drilling will test extensions of mineralization in 2007 along strike and to depth.
The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of this release.
National Instrument 43-101 requires the following statement: that the preliminary assessment is preliminary in nature, that it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized.
