Arco Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ARR) ("Arco" or the "Company") announces that
the TSX Venture Exchange has conditionally approved the qualifying transaction
filed by Silex Ventures Ltd. ("Silex"), under which Arco will grant Silex the
right to acquire up to a 100% interest in three of Arco's claim blocks,
including the Lachiguiri property (together, the "Properties"), all located in
Oaxaca, Mexico. Silex has filed a filing statement dated February 2, 2011 (the
"Filing Statement") which is posted under the Silex profile at www.sedar.com.
Closing of the qualifying transaction is scheduled to occur on February 15,
2011, and trading will commence once Silex meets the conditions for the granting
of final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.


Silex will earn a 90% interest in the Properties over a three-year period in
consideration for total cash payments of $250,000 and 2,500,000 common shares of
Silex. Silex has also agreed to reimburse Arco for tax payments of 241,811
Mexican Pesos paid on the Properties in January of 2011. The remaining 10%
interest in the Properties will remain with Arco as a carried interest. Silex
may elect at any time during the term of the option to purchase Arco's 10%
carried interest in the Properties for $1,000,000. Once such election is made,
Silex will have one year to pay this amount.


On closing, Silex will also complete a non-brokered private placement to issue
11,902,270 units ("Units") at a price of $0.11 per Unit for gross proceeds of
$1,309,250. Each Unit will consist of one common share ("Unit Share") and one
share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable for one
additional common share ("Warrant Share") for a period of one year from the date
of issuance at an exercise price of $0.15 per Warrant Share.
