News Release. - Respectable - interesting statements regarding lack of recovery.
Future drilling will be RC (not before new year).

Consolidated Magna Drill Results from Reyna de Oro

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--Consolidated Magna Ventures Ltd. is
pleased to report additional drill results from its Reyna de Oro
property in Chihuahua, Mexico. A total of 10 holes were drilled
which successfully tested the mineralized stratigraphic horizon
over 150 m. in strike length. Drilling has confirmed that the
deposit is predominantly stratigraphically controlled with
mineralized thicknesses of at least 30 m. and up to 70 m. wide in
some areas not yet drill tested.

The mineralized volcanic sequence that hosts the ore dips
shallowly into the hillside and has been traced along strike by
prospecting for 1 km. west and 400 m. east of the current
drilling. In addition, multiple other mineralized zones have been
sampled from other areas on the property. Since some of these
zones have been mined by local gambusinos, there remains
significant potential for some interesting new discoveries from
the property wide reconnaissance sampling work.

As previously reported drilling to date has met numerous technical
challenges, geologists and management now believe that these
problems are causing somewhat lower gold grades to be encountered
in the drilling than seen in both surface and underground
sampling. The explanation lies in the fact that high grade
samples with fine free gold (402 g/t) are being panned from
altered and oxidized seams and fractures in the stockwork zones by
the gambusinos. These seams are in all probability being washed
away by the high water pressure and vibration during the drilling
process contributing to poor core recoveries. Additional evidence
is exampled in Hole No. 8 which was drilled between the two Cuse
tunnels and no further than 5 m. from either. Cuse Nuevo averaged
3.80 g/t (54 m.) and Cuse Viegjo averaged 2.83 g/t (45 m.) which
was more than a 100 percent increase over values in the drill
hole. The Cuse Viejo tunnel has been sampled by two different
sample teams and both obtained an average grade over the entire
width that was within 0.1 g/t gold of their counter-part. The
underground sampling is believed to be a much truer representation
of expected grade particularly because it can also be
substantiated by historical production and sampling. Even so,
results to date have achieved economic grades over significant
widths as summarized in the table above.

Of particular interest is the correlation between Hole No.5 and
Hole No. 10. Hole No. 10 was drilled significantly higher in
elevation than and pointed back towards Hole No. 5. The
mineralized intercept in Hole No. 10 was truncated by a fault 40
m. above where the mineralized intercept in Hole No. 5 began when
it emerged from the fault drilled from the other side. This may
indicate a mineralized zone up to 80 m. in width with 40 m. still
untested (illustrated in the attached section).

In addition, evidence is mounting to support the theory that we
will encounter multiple stacked mineralized lenses although
intense faulting is complicating geological correlation between
holes.

Further results of surface property reconnaissance with potential
new discoveries is anticipated over the next several weeks.
