Here are the last drill results announced by the company:



Drill Results from San Pedro, Cerro Colorado and El Abrita
5/26/03

Cinco Minas, Mexico

Mr. David Henstridge, President, Tumi Resources Limited is pleased to provide additional drill hole results from San Pedro, Cerro Colorado and El Abrita, at the Cinco Minas project near Guadalajara, Mexico. San Pedro lies about 500m to the NW of the historic El Abra Mine whereas Abrita and Cerro Colorado are previously untested prospects lying about 800m and 1,200m, respectively, to the SE from the El Abra area.


I cannot get these to print out in a readable format but I'll stick em in here anyway

At San Pedro (500m NW of El Abra), the vein system (18m thick in both shallow holes, CMRC12 and CMRC13) appears leached but the results, although lower than those at El Abra, continue to prove the open pit potential of the Cinco Minas vein system. As underground workings are known to exist between the above two drill section lines, further drilling will be undertaken in this area at a later date.

Geology and Economic Potential of Vein System In order to get a better understanding on the geology and economic potential of the five kilometer long Cinco Minas vein system under the Company's control, reconnaissance drilling was undertaken at El Abrita and at Cerro Colorado.

At Cerro Colorado (1,200 m SE of El Abra) there is a well-defined quartz vein about 6m in width that has been extensively disrupted by faulting. Five holes were drilled over a strike length of 350m. Although the central holes did not intersect significant mineralization, drill hole

CMRC8 located near the SE end of the drill holes intersected 4m grading 3.42 g/t gold and 224 g/t silver that indicates significant potential for finding more resources along strike to the SE of the drill area. Similarly, CMDD6 located at the NW end of the holes intersected 6m of 0.91 g/t gold and 80 g/t silver that also indicates the potential for finding further resources to the NW of this drill hole.

At El Abrita (800m SE of El Abra) poor recovery in several holes, extensively leached rocks at shallow levels and complicated fault structures offsetting the vein system make interpretation of the geology of the area very difficult. Although results up to 2.72 g/t gold and 62 g/t silver were intersected in the drilling, results were sporadic and it is difficult to make any conclusions without further detailed geological interpretation.

Through an agreement with Minera San Jorge S.A. de C.V., the Company is earning a 60% interest and has the right to purchase the remaining 40% in the Cinco Minas Project. The Company's consulting geologist, Mr. John Nebocat, is the Qualified Person for the Cinco Minas Project.

Drill samples were prepared by GM LACME Laboratory, Guadalajara, Mexico and assayed at IPL Laboratory in Canada. Samples greater than 1 g/t gold were check assayed for gold and the Company submitted a known standard (about one in every ten samples submitted) for check analysis. All bulk samples of RC chips and one half of drill cores along with all sample rejects prepared by the laboratory in Mexico are stored for verification purposes.
