VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Orko Silver Corp. (TSX.V - OK) is pleased to announce that it has received further assay results from the current diamond drilling program on La Preciosa Project in Durango, Mexico.

The Martha Vein, first discovered in drill hole BP06-77, is proving to be a major structure.� To illustrate the Martha Vein?s emerging importance, the table below summarizes the intercepts to date.

Gary Cope, President of Orko, adds, "These latest assays continue to support the consistency of our overall excellent results from La Preciosa to date, and in particular the strength of the Martha vein. Furthermore, we have managed to add a third rig, which is now drilling on the San Juan property, adjacent to La Preciosa.� We are looking forward to results from early targets there.?

Martha Vein Intercepts

Third Drill Rig

Major Drilling S.A. de C.V. of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, has delivered a third diamond drilling rig and crew to Orko Silver?s San Juan project located immediately adjacent to Orko Silver?s 100% owned La Preciosa project which saw drilling begin on March 21^st, 2005 with the first rig and has since contracted a second rig and drilled in excess of 50,000 metres to date. Recently, Orko Silver succeeded in contracting a third rig which is currently operating on the San Juan property, a joint venture project with Silver Standard Resources Inc.

New Drill Results

New results from drilling on La Preciosa Project have been received for holes BP07-95, 96, 99, and 104.

BP07- 95

Hole BP07-95 was collared north of La Preciosa Ridge in ?Mina La Preciosa Sector?, east of holes BP05-10, 11 & 99 and west of holes BP07-92 & 90 on mine-section 15,600 N, azimuth 090, dip -45 degrees.� Note: The Martha Vein intercept had poor core recovery in a leached area, possibly resulting in local removal of silver.

BP07- 96

Hole BP07-96 was collared north of La Preciosa Ridge in ?Mina La Preciosa Sector?, east of holes BP05-12, 13 and BP07-98, 102, 103 and 104 on mine-section 15,500 N, azimuth 090, dip -45 degrees.� Abundancia vein is immediately below the paleo-surface at the base of the basaltic cover and is strongly leached. Martha Vein is strong and up-dip from the intercept in BP07-98.

BP07- 99

Hole BP07-99 was collared north of La Preciosa Ridge in ?Mina La Preciosa Sector?, east of holes BP05-10 & 11 and west of holes BP07-95 & 92 on mine-section 15,600 N, azimuth 090, dip -45 degrees.

BP07- 104

Hole BP07-104 was collared north of La Preciosa Ridge in ?Mina La Preciosa Sector?, east of holes BP05-12, 13 and west of hole BP07-102 on mine-section 15,500 N, azimuth 090, dip -45 degrees. It contains many silver-gold mineralized veinlets and several major veins. La Gloria vein is near the paleo-surface contact beneath the basaltic cover and is locally leached.
