Orko Silver Resources mapped to Chart

By 79Atoms on Saturday, September 26, 2009

Daily Chart

Chart is courtesy of marketclub.

Well, I wanted to know a bit more about the earlier years and decided to do a bit of searching on the Orko Silver website and the net. The chart above is the result of a little late night browsing. I happened to come across a similar chart on the Orko Silver website cause they had something similar in one of their presentations. I have also added some annotations in the chart from wiki invest.

The following paragraphs are taken from the Orko Silver Corp. website and correspond with the dates on the chart above.

January 19, 2006

Favourable results from drilling and interpretation of distinct mineral-shoots within the Abundancia and La Gloria veins gave reason for Orko to make a first resource estimate for the property. Using a cut-off grade of 150 g/t silver-equivalent, Inferred Resource Estimate I totaled 2.72 million tonnes grading 227.2 g/t Ag and 0.462 g/t Au for a silver-equivalent grade of 255.0 g/t. Resource Estimate I was released on 19 January 2006 (Gunning and Whiting, 2006).

September 7, 2006

Drilling continued and Inferred Resource Estimate II was released on 7 September 2006. This estimate was up to hole BP06-38 for a total of 16,334 metres in La Preciosa Ridge area, including Abundancia, La Gloria and Abundancia Zona Sur veins. Using a cut-off grade of 100 g/t silver-equivalent, Inferred Resource Estimate II totalled 4.05 million tonnes grading 207.4 g/t Ag and 0.384 g/t Au for a silver-equivalent grade of 230.4 g/t. Alternatively, at a 150 g/t cut-off, Inferred Resource Estimate II totalled 3.42 million tonnes grading 235.0 g/t Ag and 0.435 g/t Au for a silver-equivalent grade of 261.1 g/t.

March 13, 2007

Drilling continued and Inferred Resource Estimate III was released on 13 March 2007. Inferred Resource Estimate III -- At 100 g/t Ag-Eq cut-off the estimate is 5.72 million tonnes grading 192.9 g/t Ag and 0.345 g/t Au, for a silver-equivalent of 213.6 g/t. At 150 g/t Ag-Eq cut-off the estimate is 4.39 million tonnes grading 229.9 g/t Ag and 0.396 g/t Au, for a silver-equivalent of 253.7 g/t.

October 1, 2007

Drilling continued and Inferred Resource Estimate IV was released on 1 October 2007. Inferred Resource Estimate IV -- At 100 g/t Ag-Eq cut-off the estimate is 10.36 million tonnes grading 199.7 g/t Ag and 0.328 g/t Au, for a silver-equivalent of 219.4 g/t. At 150 g/t Ag-Eq cut-off the estimate is 6.88 million tonnes grading 256.6 g/t Ag and 0.387 g/t Au, for a silver-equivalent of 279.8 g/t.

March 31, 2008

Drilling continued and Inferred Resource Estimate V was released on 31 March 2008. Inferred Resource Estimate V -- At 100 g/t Ag-Eq cut-off the estimate is 15.35 million tonnes grading 190.0 g/t Ag and 0.321 g/t Au, for a silver-equivalent of 209.2 g/t. At 150 g/t Ag-Eq cut-off the estimate is 6.88 million tonnes grading 256.6 g/t Ag and 0.387 g/t Au, for a silver-equivalent of 279.8 g/t.

February 18, 2009

The Company's Resource Estimate VI was released Feb 18, 2009 is based the results all the holes drilled to date including the 2008 drilling of an additional 205 holes (79,021m) that was completed after the date of the last resource estimate. The La Preciosa deposit now comprises 47% Indicated Resources and 53% Inferred Resources. Current Indicated Resources are 10.64 million tonnes grading 0.27 g/t Au and 185 g/t Ag for a Silver-Equivalent grade of 201 g/t. at a cut off grade of 100 g/t. The contained metal equals 63.2 million ounces of Silver and 94,000 ounces of Gold for a Silver Equivalent of 68.9 Million Ounces. Current Inferred Resources are 12.0 million tonnes grading 0.25 g/t Au and 185 g/t Ag for a Silver-Equivalent grade of 200 g/t. at a cut off grade of 100 g/t. The contained metal equals 71.8 million ounces of Silver and 97,000 ounces of Gold for a Silver Equivalent of 77.6 Million Ounces.

September 18, 2009

So, there you go, this ought to help to get a more complete picture about Orko Silver's path to becoming a producing silver miner and what has already been done to get there.

If anyone has any ideas about the last spike, don't be afraid to post a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

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

By 79Atoms on Tuesday, June 16, 2009

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."

Corporate Overview

By 79Atoms on Friday, September 09, 2005

Overview

Orko is a silver explorer with a large land position in an historic silver mining region in Durango State, Mexico. All three projects are located on large contiguous mineral concession packages. This is home to several mines including Hecla's San Sebastian Mine; which has had annual production of up to 2.8 million ounces of silver.

1. Orko controls 100% of its "La Preciosa" project.

Orko has conducted geological mapping, geophysical testing and has systematically drilled a portion of the known strike length of epithermal silver-gold veins on the property. Two of the veins, La Gloria and Abundancia, have been drill tested each along 1.2 km strike length which established the first NI 43-101 compliant Inferred Resource Estimate released on January 19th, 2006. Data from 26 drill holes totaling 11,579 metres form the basis of an Inferred Resource of 2.72 million tonnes grading silver 227.2 g/t and gold 0.464 g/t, for a silver-equivalent grade of 255 g/t. Contained metal in the Inferred Resource equals 618 million grams silver (19.9 million ounces silver) and 1.26 million grams gold (40,400 ounces gold) for a silver-equivalent content of 694 million grams (22.3 million ounces silver-equivalent).

The second NI 43-101 compliant Inferred Resource Estimate was released on September 7th 2006. This Resource Estimate was based on the first 24 holes drilled by Orko in 2005 and 7 historical holes from 1981-82. Using the identical methodology and adding the results of the 7 historical holes plus another 7 holes for a total of 38; an Inferred Resource Estimate of 3.42 million tonnes grading 235.0 silver grams per tonne (g/t) and 0.435 gold g/t, for a silver-equivalent grade of 261.1 g/t. This represents a significant increase of 30% in the contained silver-equivalent metal content to 892 million grams (28.7 million ounces).

The third NI 43-101 compliant Inferred Resource Estimate was released on March 13th 2007; and is based upon assay results up to and including 79 of 111 drill holes on La Preciosa Ridge. An Inferred Resource of 4.39 million tonnes grading 229.9 silver grams per tonne (g/t) and 0.396 gold g/t, for a silver-equivalent grade of 253.7 g/t. This represents a contained silver-equivalent metal content of 1,114 million grams (35.8 million ounces).

The resource estimates have been prepared on vertical longitudinal sections for each vein, with changes in dip of veins taken from 100 metre cross sections for volumetric adjustments. On the longitudinal sections, multiple ore-shoot locations were interpreted, defined by structure and underground sampling utilizing minimum cut-offs of 150 g/t Ag-Eq. Veins on "La Preciosa" have been traced for 5 kilometres north-south, as well as multiple east-west veins. Veins include Abundancia, La Gloria, Luz Elena, Carmen, Esperancita, Transversal, Incognita, Nueva, Sur, Ramal Sur, El Orito, El Orito Norte, Zona Sur, Nancy, Martha etc... Currently, less than 30% of the targets have been drilled and only to a true depth of 340 metres. The deposit, consisting of multiple veins, remains open along strike and at depth.

Drilling is underway using 2 rigs, working 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Orko is presently drilling holes 112 and 113. So far, over 45,000 metres of drilling has been completed to date. The Company will be releasing a new resource estimate by the end of Q3 2007.

2. A larger mineral concession land package to the north and east, called "Santa Monica" project, has also been optioned from Goldcorp. Under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, Orko Silver can earn a 75% interest in the project by incurring US $1.5 Million on exploration expenditures over a 5 year period. This is a more preliminary exploration project, containing float boulders of epithermal style silver-gold mineralization. Soil and quartz float surveys have been completed. Currently, Geophysics is being conducted and exploration is set to begin in the near future.

3. To the west of "La Preciosa" and "Santa Monica" is the large mineral concession property called the "San Juan" project. An agreement has been reached with Silver Standard to option this land package. Orko can earn a 75% interest in the San Juan project by incurring US $750,000 over a 5 year period. Thus far, three silver-gold epithermal veins have been located; La Plomosa, El Vacaro and San Juan veins are known to outcrop on this property. Preliminary surface sampling has been conducted and a Soil Survey is underway.

Overall, "La Preciosa", "Santa Monica" and "San Juan" represent an excellent land position. Successes over the past year on "La Preciosa" bode well for future successful expansion of the resources.
