Appointment Of Senior Manager, Communications And Administration

VANCOUVER, B.C., (August 10, 2006) - Oremex Resources Inc. (TSX-V symbol -- ORM) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Lisa Deguchi as the Senior Manager, Communications and Administration, of the Company. A University of British Columbia graduate, Ms. Deguchi most recently served as communications and operations manager for the Vancouver Economic Development Commission and also served in a key communications support role for Viceroy Resource Corporation. She has developed and implemented comprehensive communications programs for public and private organizations over the past decade.

Chief Executive Officer Linda Thorstad stated: "Ms. Deguchi's experience in the mining sector coupled with her design, financial and administrative skills will contribute significantly to the management team."

The Company also announced the grant of 50,000 stock options to Ms. Deguchi under the incentive option plan. The options are exercisable at a price of $0.73 per share for a period of five years.

The Company's most advanced projects consist of the Tejamen Silver and the San Lucas Polymetallic properties located in Mexico. An independent resource study (NI 43 - 101 compliant) concluded that the Tejamen property contains a silver-equivalent resource of 50.8 million ounces in a total of 22,600,000 tonnes, grading a silver-equivalent of 69.8 grams per tonne. An independent preliminary assessment is anticipated for the early fall of 2006.

The drilling at the San Lucas Property indicates a promising polymetallic project. Oremex continues to evaluate its other mineral concessions for principal property status, and will either complete further exploration work or sell (or joint-venture) those that do not meet the criteria of Oremex.
