A correction from source is issued with respect to the Silvermex Resources Ltd.
(TSX VENTURE:SMR) news release that was disseminated today at 10:23am ET. The
strike length has been revised to 1,800 meters and the Silver Values in the 2
tables are in g/t. The corrected release follows:


Silvermex Resources Ltd. ("Silvermex") announces it has completed a seven hole,
1,756 meter diamond drill program on its San Marcial silver property located in
southern Sinaloa state, Mexico. The results confirmed the down dip extension and
the high grade nature of the silver, lead and zinc mineralization hosted within
the San Marcial vein and breccias zone. An updated mineral resource estimate is
currently being completed and is expected within 10 days.


As previously reported the San Marcial mineralized zone has been traced over
1,800 meters of strike and 500 meters of depth and hosts an inferred mineral
resource of 14.6 million ounces of silver (2,310,000 tonnes grading 191.79 g/t
Ag (6.08 oz/t), 0.32% lead and 0.66% zinc - see News Release dated December 21,
2007). Company management is very encouraged by the results of the current
program that consisted of two confirmation and five step out holes that tested
the strike and down dip continuity of the system. The holes were completed in
the vicinity of hole SM04, completed by previous operators, that returned 66.0
meters grading 205.9 g/t Ag.


SM08-08 was drilled between SM-15 and SM-11, holes completed by previous
operators. The hole, intended to be terminated at a depth of 150 meters, was
continued to 215 meters after encountering a wide mineralized zone. Between 83.0
and 186.3 meters the hole encountered a 93.3 meter interval that returned
average grades of 104.2 g/t (3.30 oz/t), silver (Ag), 0.474% lead (Pb) and
0.7858% Zinc (Zn), including a 19.45 meter interval that returned 234.4 g/t Ag.
Assay results from hole SM08-08 are reported in Table 1 below:

Hole SM08-12 was drilled along strike, 200 meters south east of SM08-08 in the
southern portion of the resource block. The hole encountered 43.60 meter
interval that returned average grades of 140 g/t Ag, 0.136% Pb and 0.349% Zn.
SM08-12 was drilled between holes SM-04 and SM-12, also completed by previous
operators, and confirmed the high silver values previously intersected. Hole
SM04 had encountered a 15 meter interval grading 637 g/t Ag and a 2.50 meter
interval grading 1,179 g/t Ag down dip from hole SM-12. Assays results from hole
SM08-12 are reported in Table 2 below:

Five core drill holes were completed to test the projection of the mineral
structure both along strike and down dip. SM08-01 was located 100 meters along
strike from the northern extent of the current resource. The hole was located to
test the continuity of the mineralized zone to the northwest 75 meters below the
surface (i.e. 830 meters asl (above sea level)). Holes SM08-04 and SM08-05 were
located to test the mineralized structure 50 meters along strike from the north
extent of the limits of the current mineral resource, 50 and 100 meters
respectively below the point of intersection of SM08-01. The results returned
very anomalous but uneconomic grades of silver, lead and zinc including 10.95
meters grading 24.6 g/t Ag, 105.35meters grading 4.5 g/t Ag, 107.0 meters
grading 7.1 g/t Ag, 20.90 meters grading 1.38% Zn and 11.50 meter grading 1.43%
Zn. Hole SM08-10, the deepest hole completed during the current program, was
located to test the down dip continuity of the mineralization 675 meters asl.
Several mineralized intervals between 224.20 and 273.65 meters were encountered
confirming the presence of economic silver, lead and zinc grades at least 100
meters below the lower limit of the current inferred mineral resource. Results
included 156.1 g/t Ag and 0.92% Zn between 224.20 and 228.85 meters and 132.7
g/t Ag between 236.85 and 238.85 meters. The final hole, SM08-13, was completed
along strike beyond the southern limit of the known mineralization. The hole
returned 50.0 g/t Ag across 31.35 meters between 214.25 and 245.60 meters. The
silver mineralization is regularly distributed, occurring as fine veinlets and
dissemination of sulfides in quartz veins hosted in a brecciated shear zone
between 214.25 and 228.50 meters. Stockwork and disseminated sulphide
mineralization is also clearly evident in the strongly brecciated host rock.


The drill program confirmed the continuity of the mineralization over a strike
length of 600 meters and a vertical extent of at least 250 meters. The zone
remains open both along strike and down dip. As in similar deposits the high
grade mineralization occurs in veins and fissure fillings and tends to be
irregular, often occurring in pods and favorable structures.


Company management are very encouraged by the results and expect they will
contribute a significant increase in the mineral resource base of the San
Marcial Project.
