Marketwired
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (TSX VENTURE: SOH) is pleased to
report assay results for 18 completed core drill holes from its
ongoing exploration at its 100% controlled Tahuehueto Project,
located in northwestern Durango State, Mexico.
Highlights include; step out drilling for resource expansion at
Cinco De Mayo and Perdido Zones with excellent results and higher
than average grades from both areas; infill drilling at El Creston
targeted for resource expansion; continued exploration drilling at
Santiago with two step out holes reporting strong precious metal
grades; and new, first pass exploration drilling on the untested
Texcalama Zone, one of numerous untested and virtually unexplored
zones remaining on the project.
It is important to note that none of the holes reported herein
were included in the 43-101 compliant resource calculation
published last week by Soho and these new holes will certainly help
increase the resources inventory in a future resource
calculation.

Of the 18 completed holes being reported in this news release,
eight holes returned no significant results as follows; 5 holes
DDH08-139, 140, 142, 144 & 147 from initial first pass
exploratory drilling Texcalama; 1 hole each from, Cinco de Mayo
DDH08-146, El Creston DDH08-152 and Catorce DDH08-155. Two
additional drill holes, DDH08-145 & 153 were abandoned before
reaching target depth,
"This press release clearly demonstrates several important
facts" states Mr. Hall Stewart, Vice President of Exploration,
"firstly, as our knowledge base improves, we are experiencing a
better success rate with hitting our mineralized zones with 10 out
of 18 holes returning good results. Secondly, drilling along El
Perdido is encountering stronger than anticipated mineralization
which is clearly elevating the importance of this zone as a strong
resource contributor. Thirdly, early step out drilling at Santiago
is confirming the high precious metal content of this zone
supporting the limited drilling conducted here in late 2006 and
early 2007, and finally, we are highly encouraged to confirm strong
poly-metallic mineralization north of the underground workings at
the Texcalama Zone which also elevates the importance of this
underexplored zone to the project."
Soho currently has three drill rigs operating on site and since
commencing its 2008 exploration program has completed 42 drill
holes, with three more in progress. Samples from 22 additional
drill holes are either in the lab for analysis or in transit to the
lab.
Sample location plans are available for viewing on the Company's
web site, http://www.sohoresources.ca/pdf/May8LocationMap.pdf.
Drill core and rock samples are shipped from site to Chemexs'
sample preparation facility in Guadalajara, Mexico with pulps being
shipped by Chemex to their analytical laboratory in Vancouver, BC,
Canada where final analysis is conducted. Gold and silver are
analyzed by Fire Assay. Copper, Lead and Zinc are analyzed by multi
acid digestion and atomic absorption.
The Tahuehueto project is situated in north-western Durango
State, within the historic Sierra Madre mining district, which
hosts a number of producing gold, silver and base metal mines, and
many active exploration and development projects.
The exploration program is being conducted under the direction
of Hall Stewart, PGeo, a qualified geologist as defined under
National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Ralph Shearing, President, P.Geol,
also a qualified geologist, authored this news release.
