Title: MAG Silver Reports High Grade Silver on East End of Valdeca�as Vein

578 grams per tonne (g/t) (16.8 opt) silver, 3.85 g/t gold,
5.55% lead and 6.36% zinc over 6.20 metres (true width)

Vancouver, B.C...MAG Silver Corp. (TSX: MAG) (AMEX: MVG) ("MAG") reports on behalf of Minera Juanicipio SA (a joint venture between Fresnillo plc (56%) and MAG (44%)) new assay results from the Valdeca�as Vein for Holes OF and QF.

Hole QF returned 578 grams per tonne (g/t) (16.8 ounces per ton (opt)) silver, 3.85 g/t gold, 5.55% lead and 6.36% zinc over 6.20 metres (true width). This also includes a high grade gold intercept of 271 g/t (7.9 opt) silver, 9.13 g/t gold, 0.99% lead and 4.41% zinc over 1.96 metres (true width). Hole QF has intersected the Valdeca�as Vein on the critical east central portion of the vein where drilling this year has been successful in extending the high grade zone to the east. This hole is also almost 80 metres vertically below Hole QE (1,198 g/t (34.9 opt) silver, 0.21 g/t gold, 2.75% lead and 5.15% zinc over 4.70 metres (true width)) (See press release dated June 19, 2008).

Hole OF reports an intersection of 224 g/t (6.5 opt) silver, 1.77 g/t gold, 0.92% lead and 2.63% zinc over 4.71 metres (true width). Included is a higher grade intercept of 349 g/t (10.2 opt) silver, 1.78 g/t gold, 0.74% lead and 3.28% zinc over 2.62 metres (see longitudinal section attached). This hole is also within the eastern portion of the Valdeca�as Vein and will help in defining the vein at depth to the east.

All three holes, QF, QE and OF, are outside of the recently reported initial inferred resource estimate for the Valdeca�as Vein (see press release dated June 18, 2008). MAG intends to file a NI 43-101 technical report with regard to this initial resource calculation before August 1, 2008.

The results reported below are part of a 25,000 metre drill program being carried out on the Juanicipio property in 2008. The bulk of the drilling is directed towards defining the Valdeca�as Vein with the aim of producing an updated NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate later in the year.

Including	794.30	797.20	2.90	349	10.2	1.78	0.74	3.28	2.62

Drilling continues with four drills currently operating. MAG and Fresnillo operate the project at Juanicipio through their joint venture company, Minera Juanicipio S.A. DE C.V. MAG holds a 44% interest in the Juanicipio Joint Venture. In a press release dated June 18, 2008 (investors should refer to this press release for disclaimer information regarding resources) the joint venture announced a total inferred resource estimate as at December 31st, 2007 of 237.8 million ounces of silver of which MAG's 44% interest equates to 104.5 million ounces and Fresnillo's 56% interest equates to 133.2 million ounces. In addition to the silver resource the estimate also reports an inferred resource containing a total of 480,000 ounces of gold and almost 1 billion pounds of combined lead and zinc (457,700 tonnes).

Quality Assurance and Control: The samples are shipped directly in security sealed bags to ALS-Chemex Laboratories preparation facility in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico (Certification ISO 9001). Samples shipped also include intermittent standards and blanks. Pulp samples are subsequently shipped to ALS-Chemex Laboratories in North Vancouver, Canada for analysis. Two extra pulp samples are also prepared and are analyzed (in progress) by SGS Laboratories (Certification ISO 9001) and Inspectorate Laboratories (Certification ISO 9001) (or other recognized lab). The bulk reject is subsequently sent to CIDT (Center for Investigation and Technical Development) of Pe�oles in Torreon, Mexico for metallurgical testing where a fourth assay for each sample is analyzed and a calculated head grade is received on the basis of a concentrate balance. The CIDT also does a full microscopic, XRF and XRD mineralogical analysis.

Qualified Person: Dr. Peter Megaw, Ph.D., C.P.G., has acted as the qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 for this disclosure and supervised the preparation of the technical information in this release. Dr. Megaw has a Ph.D. in geology and more than 20 years of relevant experience focussed on silver and gold mineralization, and exploration and drilling in Mexico. He is a certified Professional Geologist (CPG 10227) by the American Institute of Professional Geologists and an Arizona registered geologist (ARG 21613). Dr. Megaw is not independent as he is a Director and Shareholder of MAG and is a vendor of one project, other than Juanicipio, whereby he may receive additional shares. Dr. Megaw is satisfied that the results are verified based on an inspection of the core, a review of the sampling procedures, the credentials of the professionals completing the work and the visual nature of the silver and base metal sulphides within a district where he is familiar with the style and continuity of mineralization.

About the Joint Venture
The 8,000 hectare Juanicipio property is located in Zacatecas State, Mexico just outside the mining town of Fresnillo.
