Soho reports high-grade results at Santiago Zone and progress at Tahuehueto
Mr. Frank Port reports,
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – February 07, 2007 – Soho Resources (TSX VENTURE:SOH) is pleased to report that its initial drill hole on the Santiago Zone — drilled about 100 meters southwest of previously reported high-grade surface channel-sampling results — has returned 6.91 g/t (grams per tonne) gold, 128.35 g/t silver, 1.59% copper, 0.99% lead and 1.47% zinc over a minimum intersected width of at least 12.59 metres, with the zone still open to depth. Included in this interval are several bonanza gold and silver intercepts: 32.83 g/t gold over 0.79 metre; 18.48 g/t gold over 2.4 metres; and 3.33 g/t gold, 314.87 g/t silver, 5.33% copper, 1.34% lead and 1.63% zinc over 3.2 metres.
The Santiago Zone is located in the northern part of the Company’s 90%-held Tahuehueto polymetallic property in Mexico’s Durango State, and is one of up to 12 known zones defined to date at the district-scale epithermal project.
The results highlighted above, and presented in detail below, are from DDH06-63, which was drilled to a depth of 170.69 meters as of the Christmas Break shut-down, and continued to a depth of 304.89 meters upon start-up of drilling operations in early January. Visual inspection of the drill core indicates that the mineralized zone continues for at least another 7 meters past the 170.69-metre depth. Core samples for the remainder of the hole have been submitted to the Laboratory for analysis.
The Company has completed three additional holes at the Santiago Zone since drilling operations resumed early this year, and is now drilling a fourth hole. Based on the results of Hole DDH06-63, the Company anticipates expanding the amount of drilling to be conducted on this zone during the ongoing 18,000-meter drill program at Tahuehueto.
Soho has received assay results for a series of holes drilled up to Dec 20, 2006, as reported below.
El Perdido South Extension (formerly referred to as El Creston South Extension)
Eight holes — DDH06-51a, 52-55, 58 & 59 — were drilled to test the potential south extension of the El Creston Zone, between the El Creston and Cinco de Mayo Zones. Although not the highest priority target, drilling began here because of infrastructure difficulties associated with the harsh rainy season of 2006. This drilling has resulted in a re-interpretation of the southern El Creston Trend, based on the orientation of the encountered structure and the type of mineralization encountered in all holes drilled within this area. Drilling result indicate that the mineralized structure encountered in all these hole is likely the El Perdido structure (trending 060 degrees) intersecting the El Creston Zone near section 300 and 400 south, close to the El 1225 ore-shoot. Two holes were drilled on each of sections 500S, 600S 700S and 800S, and DDH06-32 was deepened on section 1150S to intersect the zone under mineralization encountered last year in Hole DDH-6-33. All the above holes encountered the El Perdido mineralized zone and returned moderate to low-grade results over appreciable widths. Notable intersections are reported below.
With the evidence gained in this drilling the Company now believes that the El Creston South Extension may, in fact, follow a week geophysical anomaly trending towards and joining, the Texcalama Structure, approximately 1km to the south.

El Creston South Drilling
The Company is also reporting results of four holes, DDH06-50, 56, 57 drilled on section 500S & DDH06-62 on section 400S, all testing the southern most portion of the exposed El Creston zone where the zone approaches, and is offset by, a significant fault. Highly broken mineralized sections likely affected by the nearby fault were intersected returning low grade to anomalous results.
Program Update
Since the start of drilling operation after the Christmas break the company has completed five drill holes with two more currently in progress. Three of these holes were completed and one is in progress on the Santiago zone and two were completed on El Creston Zone near section 200S and one in progress on section 400N targeting the projected intersection of the El Creston and El Rey zones.
The Tahuehueto project is situated 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.
Sample preparation is conducted by Inspectorate de Mexico S. A. de C. V. in Durango City, Mexico and analysis is conducted by Inspectorate America Corp. of Sparks, Nevada, USA.
The exploration program is being conducted under the direction of Jared Beebe a qualified geologist as defined under National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Ralph Shearing, President, P.Geol, also a qualified geologist, authored this news release.
