Orko Silver Intercepts 19.05 Metres of 239.6 g/t Silver-Equivalent
Wednesday May 30, 9:00 am ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - May 30, 2007) - Orko Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:OK - News) is pleased to announce that it has received further assay results from the current diamond drilling program on La Preciosa Project in Durango, Mexico.
Of particular note is the major width and high grade in the Abundancia Vein in "Mina La Preciosa" sector from drill hole BP07-101. The Abundancia Vein yielded 19.05 metres true width grading 226.0 g/t Ag and 0.227 g/t Au for a silver-equivalent of 239.6 g/t, including 11.97 metres true width grading 296.5 g/t Ag and 0.249 g/t Au for a silver-equivalent of 311.4 g/t. This hole also contained thickness and grade intercepts for Chabelita, Luz Elena and Martha Veins.
Gary Cope, President of Orko, adds, "The 19.05 metre true width intercept grading 239.6 g/t silver-equivalent in Abundancia Vein is extremely exciting. This intercept is remarkable not only for its width but also for its consistent high grade. La Preciosa continues to deliver and we are eagerly anticipating releasing further results as they become available."

Hole BP06-87 was a western deep step-out hole collared in the fields west of La Preciosa Ridge in "Mina La Preciosa Sector", 150 metres west of holes BP05-08 and 09, on mine-section 15,400 N, azimuth 090, dip -50 degrees.
BP06-86
Hole BP06-86 was drilled in La Preciosa Norte Sector at 090 degrees azimuth, -45 degrees dip, on mine-section 15,800 N, 100 metres east of BP06-82. Quartz vein and veinlets zones, with galena and sphalerite, were identified, but precious metal content is low.
BP07-93, 97 and 100
Hole BP07-93, 97 and 100 were northward oriented holes, -45 degrees dip, to test the transition area between "Mina La Preciosa Sector" and "La Preciosa Norte Sector". The results show a post-mineralization intense fracturing and brecciation zone. No structures of economic mineralization present.

Due to the use of two certified analytical labs, with different times to delivery of results, and the difference in speed of drilling of the two drill rigs, the announcement of drill results will be out of numeric sequence for some of the drill holes. All drill results will be announced and reported as received.
