Silvermex Resources Ltd. (the "Company") announces that further to its news release dated March 2, 2007, it has closed its brokered private placement of 2,000,000 units at a price of $0.80 per Unit (the "Unit") for total gross proceeds of $1,600,000 arranged through Canaccord Capital Corporation (the "Agent"). Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half non-transferable share purchase warrant.

The Agent's compensation consisted of 160,000 units, being equal to 8% of the units sold (the units have the same terms as the private placement units), a corporate finance fee of 30,000 units (the units have the same terms as the private placement units) and 160,000 agent's warrants, being equal to 8% of the units sold. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.80 per share for a period of two years.
The securities issued pursuant to the private placement and the Agent's compensation are subject to restrictive legends expiring on August 5, 2007.
The proceeds will be used principally to fund resource expansion on the Penasco Quemado property and geophysics and drilling on the San Cerro de Plata property and for general corporate purposes. The proceeds may also be used to fund the acquisition of new projects.
