Tumi Resources Limited (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TM)(PINK
SHEETS:TUMIF)(FRANKFURT:TUY). Mr. David Henstridge, President and CEO, announces
the acquisition of the Mezquite silver-zinc-lead project located about 250 kms
by road east of Hermosillo, Sonora. Three mineral claims totalling 167 hectares
have been optioned from two private Mexican owners. The agreement gives TMXI
Resources S.A. de C.V. (TMXI), the Company's wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary,
the right to acquire a 90% interest for a total of US$330,000 over 4 years of
which US$30,000 is payable in the first year. TMXI retains the first right of
refusal to purchase the remaining 10% interest. The vendors retain no royalties.
The claims are underlain by historical workings, principally La Perla (aka
Mezquite) shaft and surrounding surface workings.


Mineralization consists of zinc carbonate (smithsonite), silver-bearing galena
(lead sulphide) and lesser malachite and barite. The host rock is a dolostone
belonging to the Proterozoic Palmar formation; the block underlying the claims
extends for about 8 km north-south by 2 km east-west. Unweathered galena occurs
along fractures filled with silica and barite and elsewhere as disseminations
within the matrix of the dolostone. Sulphides exist just a few centimeters below
the surface; the shallow weathering is likely a result of the carbonate host
rock preventing acid generation and leaching. The generally disseminated and
blebby nature of the mineralization somewhat resembles a Mississippi Valley type
of environment but is believed to be intrusion-related.


The Company collected twenty-two samples from several zones over a 1 km distance
NW-SE. The samples yielded silver values ranging from 3 g/t to 348 g/t over 2m
widths taken from a pit near the southern end of the showings, and up to 153 g/t
Ag over a 3m width along the wall of La Perla shaft near the northern end of the
showings. Lead values ran from ppm to low percentage levels, and zinc ranged
from ppm to several tens of percentage levels. More recently the Company
collected five grab samples of mineralized rock from widely-spaced locations
within the claim block to check for silver values; the samples ranged in value
from 97 g/t to 598 g/t Ag and 1.5% to 22.1% Zn.


David Henstridge stated: "The disseminated silver bearing galena, discovered
over a wide area within a favourable host rock, has the potential to develop
into a bulk tonnage deposit. We look forward to commencing our detailed
exploration program at Mezquite".


The disseminated nature of the mineralization is ideal for a geophysical
exploration method such as induced polarization (IP). The Company intends to
immediately undertake further mapping and sampling and seek a contract for up to
12.5 line-km of IP.


The qualified person for Tumi's projects, David Henstridge, a Fellow of the
Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Member of the Australian
Institute of Geoscientists, has visited the Mezquite silver-zinc-lead project,
Sonora, Mexico, and has verified the contents of this news release.


On behalf of the Board,

David Henstridge, President & CEO
