Soho Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE: SOH) ("Soho" or the "Company") is pleased to announce recently completed metallurgical testing results for its Tahuehueto Project located in Durango, Mexico.

In October 2009, Soho Resources Corp prepared five metallurgical composites, all from diamond drill core samples, from the Tahuehueto Project in the state of Durango, Mexico.

The composites were prepared to reflect the known resource grades as determined in the company's most recent 43-101 compliant mineral resource calculation, prepared by Scott E. Wilson Consulting, Inc. (see new release dated May11, 2009). The grades of the prepared composites are tabled below.

Overall Composite (weighted
average of all above zones)       2.11     37.7     0.28     1.12     2.02
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each composite was made up of material from mineralized intersections in not less than five separate drill holes from spatially different parts of the mineralized zone in question. The overall composite represents the weighted average of the contribution of each of the four individual zone composites to the total May 11th 2009 mineral resource.

At current metal prices (Kitco - April 20, 2010), the contained metals value in the overall composite is $195/tonne, equally split between the precious and base metals.

The composites have been subjected to 12 bench scale flotation tests by Westcoast Mineral Testing of North Vancouver, B.C.

The most recent and best test result to date was on the overall composite, yielding the following overall recoveries:

Testing on the individual zone composites yielded the following results.

Although overall recoveries are important, the distribution of the payable metals into the most advantageous marketable products is the ultimate goal of any metallurgical program.

The following has been determined on the overall composite:

- 77.0% of the lead has been recovered into a flotation concentrate grading 53.9% Pb, 96 g/t Au, 1,007 g/t Ag, 7.86% Cu, and 8.1% Zn.

- Initial testing to separate the bulk copper / lead concentrate, was encouraging and partially successful. In addition to the lead concentrate described above, the "copper" concentrate graded 10.0% Cu, 50 g/t Au, 1,154 g/t Ag, 4.6% Pb, and 22.0% Zn. Although the zinc grade is higher than that of the copper, it is anticipated that this product would be marketed as a copper concentrate.

- Ongoing testing is evaluating the potential to shift the 7% of the zinc that reports to the copper concentrate, into the zinc flotation circuit, since otherwise it is a diluent in the copper concentrate, and in effect could become a penalty component.

- The zinc cleaner stage concentrate, containing 63.0% of the zinc and grading 55.3% Zn is of a good marketable grade.

Reagent usage is consistent with industry norms for this type of base metal deposit. Zinc sulphate and sodium cyanide, when used together, are effective sphalerite (zinc mineral) depressants, as was sodium cyanide in the copper / lead separation stage.

Future testing will investigate:

- The role of finer primary grinding than the previous 40 - 60% passing 200 mesh

- Alternative dosages of the above depressants.

- Alternative depressants in an attempt to improve the distribution of the base metals into their respective concentrates.

- Potential to achieve improved results by separately processing material from the four zones.

Note that some of the composites exhibit modest oxidation of the based metals, averaging less than 5%. That portion of the base metal minerals and any associated precious metals are not recoverable.
