Tumi Resources Reports Drill Results from Mezquite, Mexico


VANCOUVER, May 27, 2011 /CNW/ - Tumi Resources Limited (the "Company") (TSXV - TM; Pink Sheets - TUMIF; Frankfurt - TUY).  Mr.

David Henstridge, President and CEO, reports that an initial reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at Mezquite, Sonora, Mexico have been received .

Six reverse circulation drill holes, totaling 980 m, tested four chargeable zones defined by a three-dimensional IP survey as well as one hole each under the main pit and shaft in the centre of the Mezquite mineralized area.

Although the drill holes intersected wide zones of zinc mineralization, ranging from 200 ppm to 1500 ppm, lead and silver values were generally quite low.  No massive sulphides were observed in any of the drill hole cuttings.  It is believed that the mineralization at Mezquite is very distal to the source.

The Company has accordingly abandoned the Mezquite property.

Tumi is continuing with its planned work program at La Gloria where road rehabilitation and regional mapping has been completed.  Detailed mapping and sampling has commenced around the main workings where a contiguous set of 16 channel samples (32 m), taken perpendicular to the trend of the zone, averaged 3.3 g/t gold, 958 ppm (0.1%) tungsten and 498 ppm (0.05%) tin.

The qualified person for Tumis 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"
David Henstridge, President & CEO
