OK OK2 Minerals Ltd

Orko Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:OK) ("Orko") is pleased to provide a synopsis of
the results of a new engineering study recently completed on our 100% owned La
Preciosa project by our independent consultant AMEC Americas Limited ("AMEC").


AMEC carried out a Preliminary Mineability Assessment ("PMA") on the La Preciosa
deposit, covering both open pit and underground mining options as presented in
the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") previously released by Orko and our
former partner Pan American Silver Corp., on August 11, 2012. 


AMEC's PMA is based on a detailed examination of selected drill cores during two
site visits in January and February, of 2012. As the result of their work, AMEC
concludes "that there is no readily identifiable reason to suppose that both
open pit and underground mining could not productively and safely be carried out
in the La Preciosa deposit. There are persistent joint planes that trend
parallel to the average dip and strike of individual veins, but the instability
potential that could arise from these structures could readily be controlled
through the use of appropriate support types, densities and strategies". The
full PMA will be posted on the Company's website in the near future.


The results presented in the PMA are preliminary. More detailed geotechnical
investigations and characterizations are still required, at the pre-feasibility
level of project development, before firm and final conclusions can be derived
concerning the details of access, open pit slope configurations, stoping
strategies, layouts and support systems. Full recommendations to complete the
pre-feasibility study will be included as part of the new independent AMEC
authored PEA that is anticipated in August or September.


Gary Cope, President and CEO of Orko noted, "We have always had faith that all
criteria essential to a successful mining operation exist at La Preciosa. With
this study, AMEC has taken us one step closer to that eventuality."


Orko is anticipating the results of a new independent resource estimate
currently being prepared by Mining Plus, an international mining consulting
firm. This resource estimate scheduled to be completed and released in May, will
be an integral component of the new PEA.


Orko currently has approximately $12 million in cash and short-term investments
and is well funded to continue to advance the project. Orko will take over as
operator and is in the planning stages of further optimization on the project.

responsibility for the technical disclosure in this news release.
