(TSX: FVI/Lima Stock Exchange: FVI) is pleased to announce the results of initial drilling completed in the Don Luis II vein at the Caylloma Mine located in southern Peru. The Don Luis II vein is located in the western portion of the Caylloma District where no prior development or mining has taken place. The vein outcrops over a strike length of approximately 400 meters and ranges from approximately 1 to 3 meters in width at the surface (see Fortuna news release dated May 12th, 2010). Twelve diamond drill holes totalling 2,283 meters have been completed to test the vein from near surface to approximately 200 meter depth.\n\nHighlights of the drilling include:\n\n\n >\n\n\nWidths given are drill hole widths with the drill holes in general oriented sub-perpendicular to the strike of the vein. Assay results from the twelve drill holes are summarized below with length-weighted assay averages calculated for the principal mineralized intervals.\n\nAssay Results:\n\n\n >\n\n\nA drill hole location map and longitudinal section illustrating the drill results are available on the Company's website: http://www.fortunasilver.com/s/Caylloma.asp\nThe full results of the drilling are currently being compiled and interpreted. The mineralization is open to depth and further drilling is warranted to test for favorable structural environments within the main mineralized horizon in the Caylloma District.\n\nVilafro Exploration Drilling\n\nTwo drill holes totaling 304 meters were completed in the Vilafro target at Caylloma to test for extensions of high grade silver mineralization encountered in surface outcrops. Although weak silver anomalies were encountered in the drilling, no significant mineralization was detected and no further drilling is planned in the Vilafro area.\n\nBackground\n\nDuring the second quarter of 2010, the Caylloma ...
