Orko Silver Drills 3.99 Metres of 1 Kilogram Per Ton Silver Equivalent

Tuesday December 2, 8:00 am ET

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 2, 2008) - Orko Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:OK - News) is pleased to announce that it has received further assay results from its on-going diamond drilling program at La Preciosa Project in Durango, Mexico.

Of particular note is a thick, high-grade intercept for the Martha Vein in hole BP08-280. This hole is located on the eastern side of the mineralized trend. Hole BP08-280 yielded a true thickness of 6.74 metres grading 1.111 g/t gold and 561.6 g/t silver for a silver-equivalent of 628.2 g/t. Within this intercept is 3.99 metres grading 1.822 g/t gold and 927.4 g/t silver for a silver-equivalent of 1,036.7 g/t.

Also of interest is hole BP08-278 which yielded 5.10 metres grading 1.004 g/t gold and 251.3 g/t silver for a silver-equivalent of 311.5 g/t and hole BP08-325A (a re-drill of hole BP08-325, which was abandoned during drilling) yielded 6.47 metres grading 0.860 g/t gold and 421.5 g/t silver for a silver-equivalent of 473.1 g/t.

Gary Cope, President of Orko, adds: "We are particularly pleased with the results of Hole 280. It represents another in a long list of holes at La Preciosa that have yielded a significant intercept over 1 kilogram per ton Silver Equivalent. Holes 278, 280 and 325A were noteworthy not only for their impressive grades and widths but also because the high grade mineralization was encountered at a relatively shallow depth. Although we encountered a low grade section of the Martha Vein in some of the holes reported, which is typical in Mexican Epithermal Vein Systems, the vein is structurally strong and we anticipate encountering better grade mineralization with progression to the southeast."
