Orko Silver's Surface Trenching of Nancy Vein Yields Excellent Results.

(Read original article here.)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Orko Silver Corp.("Orko") - (TSX.V - OK) is pleased to announce that it has received positive assay results from its surface trenching program on the Nancy Vein at the La Preciosa Project in Durango, Mexico.

The Nancy Vein is located on the western structural trend and is outside of the current resource estimate area for La Preciosa. Of particular note are trench sample NT09-12, which yielded 4.20 metres grading 1.342 g/t gold and 217.4 g/t silver for a silver-equivalent of 298.0 g/t and trench sample NT09-07, which yielded 8.25 metres grading 0.653 g/t gold and 132.4 g/t silver for a silver-equivalent of 171.0 g/t.

The Nancy Vein is sub-parallel to all the other known veins that comprise this large silver deposit. The Nancy Vein has been exposed by trenching for a distance of over 450 metres and remains open along strike in both directions.

Trenching of vein structures at La Preciosa, including the surface expression of the Martha Vein, has historically yielded lower silver values near surface due to the mobility of silver in low pH rainwater. Thus, these high silver values at surface, along with high gold values, are considered very promising.

Gary Cope, President of Orko, adds: "These results illustrate the excellent exploration potential at La Preciosa. The Nancy Vein represents a distinct separate target and as such, we have prioritized it on the list of drill targets for the upcoming 2009 drilling program."
