Valley High Ventures Ltd.: Drilling Commences at Cordero Project, Mexico

Valley High Ventures Ltd. ("Valley High") (TSX VENTURE:VHV) is pleased to report that drilling has commenced at the Cordero silver, gold, zinc, lead, project located 35 kilometres northeast of Hidalgo Del Parral, Chihuahua, Mexico. This first phase program will comprise a minimum of 4,000 metres of diamond drilling designed to test a number of targets, including zones of high chargeability as outlined by the recent 3D induced polarization survey as well as the Pozo de Plata zone located southwest of the main Cordero volcanic dome complex. The exploration target is a bulk-mineable deposit similar to the Penasquito deposit currently being developed by Goldcorp Inc.

The Pozo de Plata zone is partially defined by two trenches separated by about 300 to 536 metres and remains open to the south, west and at depth. These trenches and detailed mapping indicate that the target is comprised of rhyolite dykes, diatreme breccias and contact zones with limestone country rocks. The trenches returned 175 metres grading 21.8 g/T Ag, 0.20 g/T Au, 0.16% Zn, 0.20% Pb and 135 metres grading 18.5 g Ag/T, 0.07 g/t Au, 0.09% Zn and 0.2 % Pb.

Other targets to be tested include areas near the La Luz and San Luis mines, both highlighted by artisanal mining associated with areas of elevated chargeability and both soil and rock geochemistry. The San Luis mine dump comprises rhyolite porphyry containing 3-5% disseminated pyrite, very fine disseminated sphalerite and intergrown silver sulfosalts with one sample returning 138 g/T Ag.

The project is under the direct supervision of Mr. Francisco Armenta, Eng., Valley High's General Manager, Mexico and Mr. Vic Chevillon, M.A., C.P.G., Levon Resource Ltd's ("Levon") Vice President of Exploration. Valley High will employ a rigorous quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) program comprised of control samples that include standardized material, blanks and duplicates. AMEC Americas Ltd. has designed the QAQC protocol from a study and review of information provided by the company to AMEC.

The Cordero project is centred on a mineralized belt of four porphyries that has now been defined through a strike length of 6 km and a width of about 3 km. The property comprises wholly owned claims and consolidated land agreements that total about 10,000 hectares wherein Levon Resources Ltd. may earn a 51% interest by spending $1,250,000.
