Oremex is a Canadian-based exploration company with a focus on the
acquisition and development of mineral properties in Mexico. The
Company's principal properties are the Tejamen and San Lucas properties
located in the State of Durango and the Cuyoaco Property in the State
of Puebla. The Company's most advanced project Tejamen has an inferred
mineral resource of 50.8 million ounces of silver in a total of 22.6
million tonnes grading a silver-equivalent of 69.8 grams per tonne
(Wardrop Engineering Report NI 43-101 compliant April 2006). Snowden
Mining Industry Consultants completed a Preliminary Assessment Study
(NI 43-101 compliant October 2006) demonstrating that the project can
support a 10,000 tonne per day open pit, heap leach mining operation.
The Company continues with discussions with various federal and state
government officials and the Ejido of Tejamen (governing authority for
the village and surrounding lands) for surface access rights at the
Tejamen Property.
National Instrument 43-101 requires the following statement: that the
preliminary assessment is preliminary in nature, that it includes
inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative
geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would
enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no
certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized.
Forward-Looking Statements: The above contains forward-looking
statements that are subject to a number of known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause such differences include: changes in world
commodity markets, equity markets, costs and supply of materials
relevant to the mining industry, change in government and changes to
regulations affecting the mining industry. Forward-looking statements
in this release include statements regarding future exploration
programs, operation plans, geological interpretations, mineral tenure
issues and mineral recovery processes. Although we believe the
expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are
reasonable, results may vary, and we cannot guarantee future results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as
that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange)
accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
