Silvermex Reports on OTC Link Trading Status

Vancouver, BC, Canada - March 13, 2012 - Silvermex Resources Inc. ("Silvermex") (TSX: SLX) reports that, on March 13, 2012, with the consent of Silvermex, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued an order revoking the registration of Silvermex's common shares (traded on the over-the-counter market in the United States under the symbol "GGCRF") under section 12(g) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Silvermex consented to this administrative procedure as an amenable solution to address the filing delinquencies of its predecessor company, Genco Resources Ltd. ("Genco"), under the Exchange Act. As a result, broker-dealers in the United States are currently unable to effect transactions in the United States markets under the trading symbol GGCRF. Silvermex's common shares continue to trade publicly on the TSX under the symbol SLX.

Silvermex, which had previously filed an annual report on Form 40-F with the SEC in December 2011, is currently preparing a registration statement on Form 40-F and is expecting to file the new registration statement within 14 days. The registration statement is anticipated to become effective 60 days after its filing. For more information, the SEC order can be accessed via the following link: https://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2012/34-66578.pdf.
