VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Orko Silver Corp. (TSX.V - OK) is pleased to announce that it has received further assay results from its on-going Diamond drilling program at La Preciosa Project in Durango, Mexico.
Of particular note is a thick, high-grade intercept for the Martha Vein in hole BP08-289. This hole is located on the eastern side of the mineralized trend. Hole BP08-289 yielded a true thickness of 7.30 metres grading 0.312 g/t gold and 406.5 g/t silver for a silver-equivalent of 425.3 g/t.
Also, hole BP08-273 yielded a true thickness of 10.35 metres grading 0.386 g/t gold and 208.8 g/t silver for a silver-equivalent of 231.0 g/t.
