Orko Silver's Drilling Increases Width of Abundancia Vein and Includes Multiple High Grade Hits in Luz Elena and Esperancita Veins

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Feb 14, 2007 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX News Network) --
Orko Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:OK) is pleased to announce that it has received further assay results from the Phase-IV diamond drilling in the "Mina La Preciosa" sector on its La Preciosa Project in Durango, Mexico.

Of particular note is the substantial width of the Abundancia Vein intersected in hole BP06-61. It yielded 10.24 metres true width grading gold 0.233 g/t and silver 209.7 g/t for a silver-equivalent grade of 223.7 g/t. This intersect is represented by 23 individual samples, of which 14 samples exceeded silver 100 g/t and one sample of 0.20 metres length graded gold 0.164 g/t and silver 1,050.0 g/t for a silver-equivalent of 1,059.7 g/t.

Luz Elena Vein, a sub-parallel vein below Abundancia, was also intersected several times, including its greatest thickness to date in hole BP06-62 at 6.79 metres true width grading gold 0.233 g/t and silver 150.9 g/t for a silver-equivalent of 164.8 g/t.

Esperancita Vein, an east-west transversal type structure, was intersected obliquely in hole BP06-60 at 0.85 metres true thickness grading gold 0.398 g/t and silver 497.4 g/t for a silver-equivalent of 521.3 g/t. This included a 0.29 metre intercept of gold 0.851 g/t and silver 1,237.2 g/t for a silver equivalent of 1,288.3 g/t.

Quality Control work revealed that the silver grades previously reported for the Abundancia Vein in the upper portion of hole BP06-60 were understated by 30% (news release 18 January 2007). The retesting revealed that the quoted intersect is 2.48 metres true thickness grading gold 0.356 g/t and silver 207.2 g/t for a silver-equivalent of 228.5 g/t. Alternatively, it can be extended to 4.44 metres true thickness of gold 0.225 g/t and silver 158.1 g/t for a silver-equivalent of 171.6 g/t.

Gary Cope, President of Orko, adds, "These results show a significant widening of both Abundancia and Luz Elena veins. They will be added to our next resource estimate which we anticipate releasing by the end of Q1 2007. Of particular interest will be the addition of the Luz Elena vein to the next resource estimate. In our last resource estimate, the Luz Elena vein was not included because we did not have sufficient drilling data that intersected the vein. We are very encouraged by these results as we continue to strive to meet our minimum target of 100 Million silver-equivalent ounces at La Preciosa."

"I am also pleased to announce that we have begun to receive assays from our initial surface sampling of rocks and soils from our Santa Monica joint venture with Goldcorp, Inc. We are compiling the results and anticipate reporting them in the near future."

MINA LA PRECIOSA SECTOR

A program designed to test the Luz Elena vein in the "Mina La Preciosa" sector confirms that it is a significant silver-gold vein located beneath the Abundancia vein. Hole BP06-60 passed through the Abundancia vein and into the Luz Elena vein, plus a thinner mineralized vein footwall to Luz Elena. Multiple thinner veins were hit before the hole reached oblique intercepts of Esperancita and Carmen Veins. This hole is located on section mine-grid 15,200 N.

Hole BP06-61 is located on section mine-grid 15,300 N, 100 metres north of BP06-60. It intersected obliquely the Esperancita Vein before reaching a major intercept of Abundancia Vein, multiple smaller veins in the footwall of Abundancia and finally the Luz Elena Vein.
