Detailed Work Commences At El Colorado, Mexico

VANCOUVER, BC - David Henstridge, President of Tumi Resources Limited reported the results of a recent field inspection of soil geochemical anomalies on the
Company’s 100-percent owned, 7,613 hectare El Colorado property, located about 45 km southeast of Hermosillo, Mexico. El Colorado abuts the northern boundary of the licences covering the now closed La Colorada Mine, previously operated by Eldorado Gold Corporation and currently being explored by Pediment Gold Corp. La Colorada Mine opened in 1994 and was reported to produce up to 65,000 ozs of gold per year from an open-pit, heap-leach operation before it was closed in 2001.
Initial findings by the Company’s senior geological staff have defined seven areas that may be potential drill targets, but some additional work is planned to further define and delineate these areas. Proposed work, which is currently being carried out, includes further detailed gridding, soil sampling and mapping in the immediate areas around these targets.
The seven areas lie within a previously located regional soil sampling grid where coincident anomalous values in silver, lead and arsenic occur over a 1.8 km strike length and up to a 1 km width; the anomaly remains open to the southeast.
Ten of the soil samples were analyzed for gold with results ranging from 0.01 to 0.36 g/t, suggesting that gold also occurs in the system (see press release dated March 31, 2009).
