TUMI - PREMIER SILVER EXPLORER IN MEXICO AND SWEDEN

Tumi Resources Limited trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "TM" (TM.V for quotes through yahoo.com), on the Frankfurt Exchange under symbol "TUY" and on the OTCBB under symbol "TUMIF". Tumi is a well-financed Vancouver-based mineral exploration company, with management comprising highly experienced accounting, financial, geological, mining engineering and public relations personnel.

As a silver explorer, Tumi’s initial focus was Mexico, the world’s biggest silver producer, where Tumi is continuing advanced exploration to expand the historic la Trini mineralization. Research for new silver projects led Tumi to the Bergslagen District of south-central Sweden where Tumi has already made significant acquisitions, including the historic Sala silver mine, making Tumi a major claim holder in the district.

 


La Trini Drill Hole TRRC40, October, 2007

In January 2005, Tumi acquired a 100% interest in the La Trini mineral claim, located within the Hostotipaquillo mining district, Jalisco State, Mexico.

Tumi has completed 50 reverse circulation drill holes in three programs with results including 18.3m averaging 3.1 g/t gold and 150 g/t silver in hole TRRC-6 and 24.4m averaging 6.4 g/t gold and 1,629 g/t silver in TRRC-32.  Drilling coupled with surface and underground sampling programs has defined a 400m long northerly trending mineralized zone. The zone is 200m wide and remains open down-dip to the north. There appears to be a higher grade corridor along the eastern edge of this zone which includes TRRC-32.  A recently completed resource calculation has increased the historical resources by about 25%.

The resource calculation was undertaken by an independent qualified geologist in keeping with NI43-101 requirements.  The current resources are Indicated: 1,661,359 tonnes at 121 g/t Ag and 0.88 g/t Au and Inferred: 192,880 tonnes at 99 g/t Ag and 0.92 g/t Au.

Tumi has an intensive exploration program underway in Sonora seeking a large low-grade precious metal system similar to La Herradura, La Choya and San Francisco mines. The Company is undertaking stream sediment geochemistry, mapping and geochemical sampling on its 100% owned Phoenix, Mazatan, El Colorado and Agua Calientes Concessions. The Company has also farmed out its 35,180 hectare Batamote concession to High Desert Gold Corporation.

Vitturn Induced Polarization (chargeability) Anomaly

During 2006, Tumi staked numerous silver projects in the Bergslagen District of Sweden, located immediately to the north-west of Stockholm.  Bergslagen is a highly mineralized District and one of the most important ore Districts in Europe, containing deposits of iron, manganese, base-metal and silver sulphides. It is host to the well known historic and current mines Sala, Falun, Garpenberg and Zinkgruvan.

Tumi has staked the historic Sala mine which contained some of the richest silver ores in the world and historic records indicate that in excess of 200 million ozs of silver were produced. Exploration has defined a drill target immediately to the west of the old mine and trending south for about one kilometer. Drill approval has been received from the appropriate Swedish authorities as required by the Swedish Mining Law and a minimum 2,000m diamond drill program has commenced. Four drill holes have been completed to date and samples for assay have been submitted.

As well, Tumi has staked a further six historic mines in the District and another eleven additional exploration licences covering prospective ground; total land held exceeds 12,000 hectares.

A recently completed IP survey at Vitturn has defined a high chargeability-low resistivity anomaly exceeding 400m long. The anomaly lies along strike from known resource-grade mineralization discovered by another company. The anomaly is a high priority drill target for Tumi and will be drilled as soon as possible.

Tumi’s management includes David Henstridge, a graduate from Adelaide University, Australia, with an Honours Degree in Geology, Nick DeMare and Harvey Lim, both chartered accountants, and combined have extensive experience in international mineral exploration and management.
