The junior company ended its winter campaign / Results define a new exploration target

By Panorama Minero

Argenta Silver Corp. reported the third batch of assay results from its 2025 winter diamond drilling program at the 100% owned El Quevar Project in Salta Province. These results indicate ongoing continuity of the Yaxtché Deposit for 70 meters to the northwest (step-out hole QVD-414) extending the known mineralized footprint, while additional drill results highlight a promising new exploration target named Atenea. The 2025 Winter Drill Program has been completed, and the company is already working on plans for the upcoming summer drill season. Remaining results from the 2025 Winter Program are still pending.

Highlights include:

  • Hole QVD-414 – step-out success: 545 g/t Ag (Silver) over 43.20 meters, including 1,302 g/t Ag over 8.00 m and including 905 g/t Ag over 7.70 m, extending the resource zone to the northwest. *

  • Hole QVD-416 – initial test of the new Atenea target: 314 g/t Ag over 2.00 meters. This result indicates the potential for discovery of new mineralization zones and the expansion of the overall scope of the project. *

*Intervals shown are core length. Estimated true widths vary between 60 to 85% of core reported length. Insufficient re-modelling and drill density on new data has been completed to calculate true width at this time.

Joaquin Marias, CEO, President and Director of Argenta Silver Corp. commented: “With silver prices at record highs, our team continues to deliver strong results at El Quevar. A successful 70-meter step-out drillhole down-plunge of the existing resource returned 43.20 meters averaging 545 g/t silver, providing clear motivation to continue drilling along this trend. In parallel, a newly defined target named Atenea—in honor of the goddess of knowledge and strategy—has yielded encouraging intercepts, including 2.00 meters at 314 g/t silver and multiple additional silver values, positioning it as a compelling new target within the project. We are also awaiting assay results from six drillholes, including the exploration targets Andrea and Mani. With the 2025 Winter Program now complete, our team is actively preparing for the upcoming program, which is expected to commence in October 2025.”

2025 Winter Drilling Program Results – Third Group of Results

Drilling commenced in late May as part of a fully funded 4,000 m winter campaign designed to confirm known high‑grade zones, step out along strike, and test new targets. The 2025 Winter Drilling Program concluded in the second week of September. Pending results from the remaining drillholes are expected by early and late October. The company is currently working on a drill plan for the next program.

With the winter program complete, Argenta is advancing preparations for the 2025–2026 Summer Drill Program, which reflects the interannual summer season in the Southern Hemisphere. The Company is fully funded for this next campaign, targeting between 12,000 and 15,000 meters of drilling.
