Toronto, February 2, 2016 / TheNewswire / Oremex Silver Inc. (OAG) ("Oremex" or the "Company") announced today that it has filed an updated National Instrument 43-101 technical report in respect of its Tejamen silver project in Durango, Mexico (the "Report"). The report was prepared by Gustavson Associates, LLC of Lakewood, Colorado ("Gustavson") and provides and updated resources estimate (as of December 10, 2015) for the project. The Report provides an estimated inferred resource of 19.8 million tonnes containing 28.7 million ounces of silver at 45.0 g/t and 15,700 ounces of gold at 0.025 g/t. The Report will be filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.SEDAR.com.

The Report supersedes the "Technical Report – Tejamen Silver Property Durango State, Mexico Preliminary Mining Assessment", dated October 3, 2006 (the "Snowden Report") prepared by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants Inc. The preliminary economic assessment contained in the Snowden Report is no longer current and should not be relied on.

Summary of Tejamen Resource Estimate (effective December 10, 2015)

The 15 g/t Ag cutoff was chosen based on the value of the rock corresponding to the mining potential for a bulk cyanide heap leaching system at an operating cost of US$5/tonne. At today's silver price of US$14.00 to US$15.00/oz., a one half Troy ounce or 15 g/t Ag cutoff is appropriate for an inferred mineral resource. This is based on silver grades without contribution of gold.

The Snowden Report included a resource estimate at Tejamen of 22.6 million tonnes containing 48.6 million ounces of silver at 66.9 g/t and 36,400 ounces of gold at 0.05 g/t. The decrease in the mineral resource disclosed in the Report resulted from the careful examination by Gustavson of the geology and controls on the distribution of the silver with a more restrictive search on the steeper and higher grade feeder vein structures than was previously used.

All samples collected by Oremex were prepared in the ALS Chemex facility in Guadalajara, Mexico and assayed in the ALS Chemex facility in Vancouver, Canada. The ALS Chemex laboratory in Guadalajara is ISO 9001:2000 certified and the Vancouver facility is ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025 certified.
