Chihuahua, Mexico - (MXOM.OB) (Frankfurt: OYA1) -- July 6, 2009 - Mexoro Minerals Ltd. is pleased to announce that its joint venture partner, Minera Rio Tinto ("MRT") has reported that extraction and crushing of mineralized material at the Cieneguita project is underway. The facility is currently crushing and stock piling approximately 750 tons per day of mineralized material with a total capacity of up to 1,500 tons per day. MRT expects to have the rough floatation circuit at the Cieneguita project finished by the end of July so that it can start processing the material into rough concentrate for shipping to MRT's mill in Sinaloa. Once at the MRT mill the rough concentrate will be reprocessed into a cleaner concentrate. MRT has negotiated a sales contract for the clean concentrate with Trafigura AG having sold to them to date approximately $600,000 of concentrate from the commercial pilot test.

Mario Ayub, President of Minera Rio Tinto said: "We are very pleased with the way the crushing circuit is working. As the mineralized material is much softer than anticipated, the operation now has the capacity to double from the current level. For now, though, we will continue to run 750 tons per day through the mill for at least 30 days to ensure the system works smoothly. Also, we hope to have 30,000 tons stockpiled close to the flotation circuit under constructions so that we will be able to operate efficiently through the upcoming rainy season without any delays in production."
