Samex Mining Corp. announced that during the course of its initial drill program at the El Gringo copper and gold prospect at Los Zorros the company has decided to expand total drilling activity from the previously announced 570 meters to a new total of 1200 meters. Drilling presently continues while numerous core samples have already been sent to the lab for rush-assaying.

Detailed images of the entire core completed so far from holes EG-13-001 and EG-13-002. SAMEX is also in the process of updating exploration plans at the Chimberos Property to follow up its prior geological team's recent drilling campaign. A detailed review of the drill core and partial assays received back so far indicate preliminary evidence of a series of events relating to a hydrothermal system, near what could be productive porphyries and breccias.

Results will be announced in due course once all logging and assaying has been completed.
