VANCOUVER, Canada, July 5 /PRNewswire/ --     Oremex Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ORM) (the "Company") announces that it 
has received partial results from a recently completed 7,000 metre, 47 hole 
drill program at its San Lucas Property ("San Lucas"), Durango, Mexico. The 
program was designed to test extensions of mineralization both down dip and 
along strike to silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralization defined in a 2005 
drill program. Of the assays received to date for 37 holes, the most 
significant results are contained in reverse circulation drill holes SL-34, 
35, 44, 46 and 48 as follows:

Holes SL-34, 35, 44 and 46 define an apparent extension of the 
mineralized zone identified in the 2005 drill program. Hole SL-44 is 
located 1.6 kilometres northeast along trend from Hole SL-2 drilled at the 
northeastern limit of mineralization delineated in 2005. Holes SL-34, 35 
and 46 are located 1.3 kilometres northeast of Hole SL-2 along the trace of 
the mineralized trend.

Hole SL-48, situated 550 metres northeast of SL-2, also located a 
narrow zone of silver mineralization. Many of the holes drilled contain 
anomalous lead and zinc values. All intercepts are reported as drilled; 
true widths have not been calculated.

Reverse circulation samples were collected following standard industry 
practice and were analyzed by Inspectorate America Corporation using 30 
element ICP with a fire assay technique with a gravimetric finish for gold 
and silver. The majority of the San Lucas Property remains open for 
exploration. Linda Thorstad, P. Geo. is the qualified person who reviewed
