Oremex Announces Partial Drill Results from San Lucas Drill Program
Vancouver, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)
Oremex Resources Inc. (TSX-V:
ORM) (the "Company") announces that it has received partial results
from a recently completed 7,000 metre, 47 hole drill program at its
San Lucas Property ("San Lucas"), Durango, Mexico. The program was
designed to test extensions of mineralization both down dip and
along strike to silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralization defined in a
2005 drill program. Of the assays received to date for 37 holes, the
most significant results are contained in reverse circulation drill
holes SL-34, 35, 44, 46 and 48 as follows: Drill Interval Metres Ag (grams Ag (ounces

SL-48 4 84-88 110 3.5 0.1 0.1Holes SL-34, 35, 44 and 46 define an apparent extension of the mineralized zone identified in the 2005 drill program. Hole SL-44 is located 1.6 kilometres northeast along trend from Hole SL-2 drilled at the northeastern limit of mineralization delineated in 2005. Holes SL-34, 35 and 46 are located 1.3 kilometres northeast of Hole SL-2 along the trace of the mineralized trend.
Hole SL-48, situated 550 metres northeast of SL-2, also located a narrow zone of silver mineralization. Many of the holes drilled contain anomalous lead and zinc values. All intercepts are reported as drilled; true widths have not been calculated.
Reverse circulation samples were collected following standard industry practice and were analyzed by Inspectorate America Corporation using 30 element ICP with a fire assay technique with a gravimetric finish for gold and silver. The majority of the San Lucas Property remains open for exploration. Linda Thorstad, P. Geo. is the qualified person who reviewed the technical data presented in this news release.
