Silvore Fox Minerals Corp. (the "Corporation" or "Silvore Fox")(TSX VENTURE: SFX) is pleased to announce that it has signed an exploration & option agreement (the "Formal Agreement") with Orebot Inc. ("Orebot") as set forth in the Letter of Intent signed between the two companies on February 8, 2011 and as extended by both parties on June 14, 2011.

The signing of the Formal Agreement marks a shift in Silvore Fox's focus from due diligence to exploration. This property historically contains the Pick Lake zinc deposit, which is reported to contain 600,000 tonnes of 21.2% zinc, 1% copper (Inmet Mining, 1998) which would make it the highest grade zinc deposit known to exist in Ontario. This tonnage and grade was not verified by the Corporation and cannot be relied upon as a current resource. The Corporation believes that the surrounding Winston Lake area has potential for further discoveries in addition to the 3 historical deposits.

In early June Silvore Fox acquired 4 new additional claims that became available in the area. After consolidating all its holdings Silvore Fox now controls 9,600 Hectares (600 total claims) of potentially favorable geology in the area, all with 100% interest and no NSR (net smelter royalty).

The President of Silvore Fox, Mr. Harold J. Cabrita, made the following statement about the Corporation's plans for the property:

"Having completed the due diligence phase, and signing this agreement today with Orebot, Silvore Fox can now initiate our exploration plan for the area. Following my visit to the property in May along with our consulting geologist Mr. Ian Chisholm, and Mr. Kevin Kivi (of Orebot), Silvore Fox expanded our compilation of all available historical exploration work including geological, geophysical, drilling and geochemical work performed over the area of our consolidated holdings. Utilizing people familiar with the region we have commenced an investigation to determine which of the modern geophysical technologies and techniques will be most appropriate for this area and type of deposit. We expect the results of the new planned geophysical work, combined with the historical database we are currently constructing, will yield new, high confidence, drill targets. We believe the land to be accessible for drilling year round."

The Formal Agreement sets out a schedule of payments to Orebot, over a 48 month period, totaling Cdn$1,200,000. Silvore Fox paid $5,000 in cash to Orebot on the signing of the Letter of Intent ("LOI") and an additional $5,000 upon signing of the extension of the LOI, and has now paid a further $20,000 in cash to Orebot on the signing of this Formal Agreement. The remaining payments are: $70,000 due twelve months from the date of signing of the Formal Agreement (the "Effective Date"), $300,000 due twenty-four months from the Effective Date, another $300,000 due thirty-six months from the Effective Date, and a final payment of $500,000 due forty-eight months from the Effective Date. At that time Orebot will not retain any further interest in the optioned claims or any net smelter royalty.

An 'Exploration Update' and immediate future plans for the Winston Lake claims will be released in the coming weeks. Silvore Fox has previously provided updates with respect to the Winston Lake Property on February 8, 2011, March 3, 2011 and April 11, 2011.
