Genco Resumes Mine Production

 May 31, 2010 - Vancouver, BC - Genco Resources Ltd. (TSX: GGC) is pleased to announce that it has now been granted authority to purchase explosives for use at La Guitarra mine. As stated in a news release dated May 10, 2010, this is the final necessary authority in order to move back into full production.

Genco has used the past period of reduced activity to prepare the mine and equipment for the recommencement of operations and recently restarted mining and milling at a low level. The Company will now begin to recruit a small number of additional staff as it ramps up production over the next months. Genco is also working on extending its mine plan to develop adjoining underground areas with substantial proven potential.

Leslie Goodman, acting Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are delighted to be fully back in business. There is a general recognition that in La Guitarra Genco possesses a first class asset with enormous potential and at last we can begin to demonstrate this. I would like to express our sincere thanks to the Mexican authorities for their co-operation and assistance and especially to La Guitarra's staff for their persistence and hard work in getting us through the permitting process. There is now the real prospect of making the mine a real force for good in the area and bringing shareholders better recognition of the value of their investment."
