Orko Silver Corp. ("Orko") (TSX VENTURE:OK) announces that it has signed an
agreement with Goldcorp Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Goldcorp
Group") to acquire 100% ownership of the Santa Monica Property in Durango,
Mexico. Santa Monica lies immediately adjacent to Orko's La Preciosa Deposit,
with a previously reported 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimate of 15.35
million tonnes grading 0.321 g/t Au and 190 g/t Ag at a cut-off grade of 100 g/t
for a Silver Equivalent grade of 209.2 g/t, and equaling 3,211 million grams
Ag-Eq or 103.2 million oz Ag-Eq.


Under the terms of the original Santa Monica option agreement, Orko was required
to and had expended in excess of US$1 million and thereby earned an initial 51%
working interest in the Santa Monica Property, with the option of earning a
further 25% interest by the expenditure of an additional US$500,000. The new
agreement replaces the original agreement and provides for the transfer of the
remaining 49% interest not currently owned by Orko, from the Goldcorp Group to
Orko for the lump sum purchase price of Cdn$2 million, such sum to be paid by
the issue of 2 million common shares of Orko capital stock, each share having an
attributed value of Cdn$1. The agreement is subject to approval by the TSX
Venture Exchange, and the issued shares will be subject to a four month plus one
day resale restriction under applicable securities laws in Canada and any other
resale restrictions that may be imposed by the TSX Venture Exchange.


Goldcorp Group also agrees to give Orko a 5 day Right of First Refusal to
purchase or place the issued shares should the Goldcorp Group decide to dispose
of all or any of the shares for a period of one year.


Gary Cope, President of Orko, states that, "We are extremely pleased to have
reached this agreement with the Goldcorp Group, one of Orko's largest
shareholders, to enhance our property holding immediately east of La Preciosa.
Our drilling program continues to extend the mineralization towards the La
Preciosa/Santa Monica Property boundary. We believe that this acquisition will
be of great benefit to Orko shareholders, and the specific terms support the
Goldcorp Group's endorsement of our progress to date and the growing intrinsic
value of the Company."
