Silvermex Resources Ltd. ("Silvermex") (TSX VENTURE:SMR) is pleased to announce
that is has completed a twenty-two hole, 3,706.5 meter diamond drill program on
its San Marcial silver property located in southern Sinaloa state, Mexico. 


The program was designed to provide in-fill drill hole information in order to
increase the degree of confidence in the strike and down dip continuity of the
mineralized zone identified in previous drill programs. 


Initial assay results have been received for all drill holes and check assaying
of all of the mineralized intercepts plus selected other intervals is in
progress. 


Significant silver mineralization occurs in a broad zone over a strike length of
at least 350 meters and to a depth of at least 500 meters. In the current drill
program silver mineralization occurred over widths varying from 4.45 meters to
over 29.0 meters with grades from 72.9 - 327.0 g/t Ag. A zone of higher grade
mineralization with excellent continuity exists with this broader envelope of
lower grade material including values of 502.5 g/t Ag over 4.50 meters, 483.2
g/t Ag over 4.50 meters and 335.4 g/t Ag over 5.0 meters. 


The mineralization has been closed off to the northwest by a fault but remains
open along strike to the southeast where drill hole SM-10-21 encountered 19.45
meters @ 188.5 g/t Ag including 4.70 meters @ 316.7 Ag/t Ag and 5.00 meters @
335.4 g/t Ag. 


Drill hole SM-10-22 was drilled to test the down dip continuation of the
mineralized zone. The hole intersected 11.50 meters @ 224.2 g/t Ag including
4.50 meters @ 483.2 g/t Ag at a depth 50 meters deeper than any previous
intersection confirming the potential for additional mineralization at depth.


Michael Callahan, Silvermex President, reports, "We are very pleased with the
results of the recent drill program. The program was very successful in
fulfilling the objectives we established and the mineralized zone remains open
on strike and at depth. It provides the necessary data to complete a new
resource block model and comprehensive mine plan. The data will be incorporated
into the Preliminary Economic Assessment which is scheduled for completion in Q4
of this year."

Upon receipt of all of the check assays an updated mineral resource estimate
will be prepared.


The San Marcial mineralization is known by previous work to respond well to
cyanide leaching. Additional metallurgical test work is planned in particular to
refine the cyanide leaching process. 


All samples were sent to ALS Chemex Laboratories sample preparation facility in
Guadalajara Mexico with final analysis done at their facilities in Vancouver,
BC. Certified standards, blank, and duplicate samples were inserted in every
batch of 20 samples to ensure laboratory QA-QC performance. Assaying for gold
and silver was by fire assay and other elements by four acid ICP-AES.


The San Marcial property forms part of the Company's recently acquired
consolidated Rosario Mining Concession. This 16,279 ha concession includes
numerous past producing mines including the Plomosas and San Juan mines which
were operated by Grupo Mexico until 2001.


Pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, Robert Fraser, P.Geo., Vice-President
Exploration of Silvermex Resources Ltd. is the Qualified Person (QP) responsible
for the disclosure in this news release.
