Orko Silver Corp. ("Orko") - (TSX VENTURE: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."

Silver-equivalent for the purposes of this trenching program is defined as
silver grade plus 60 times gold grade. Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter
returns are assumed to be 100% for the silver-equivalent value. Base metal
values are not included in the silver-equivalent.
