Argenta Silver Corp. reported the third set of assay results from its ongoing 2025–2026 Summer Diamond Drilling Campaign at the El Quevar Project in Salta Province.

The latest multiple high-grade silver intervals intersected outside the Yaxtché Deposit resource limits, continue demonstrating mineralized continuity over the northwest extension (step-out holes QVD-430, QVD-440, and QVD-443) and in the southeast extension (including step-out hole QVD-436). Notably, other holes successfully intercepted high-grade silver within >100-meter spacing between existing drill holes within the Yaxtché Deposit; specifically, hole QVD-438 returned 2,100 g/t Ag (Silver) over 1.0m. These results confirm the continuity of mineralization in areas previously devoid of drilling, effectively de-risking the central part of the deposit.
Highlights include:
Resource Expansion at Yaxtché
-
QVD-430 (50-meter Northwest Step-out): Intersected 679 g/t Ag over 13.50m (from 343m), including two high-grade intervals of 1,016 g/t Ag over 3.00m and 1,163 g/t Ag over 4.00m, alongside a second intercept of 241 g/t Ag over 2.00m. These results further confirm the continuity of high-grade mineralization in the previously untested northwest sector.
-
QVD-440 & QVD-443 (Northwest Extension Area): These 50-meter step-out holes intersected 172 g/t Ag over 4.00m (from 221m) and 134 g/t Ag over 2.00m (from 264m), respectively. By testing the margins of the system, both holes confirm lateral continuity of mineralization, demonstrating that the deposit remains open in this direction.
-
Southeast Continuity Confirmed (QVD-436): Intersected 185 g/t Ag over 8.00m (from 76m), including a high-grade interval of 337 g/t Ag over 2.00m. Additionally, the hole intercepts a separate gold zone of 0.85 g/t Au (Gold) over 3.40m (from 143m). These results successfully validate the southeastern mineralized trend established by step-out hole QVD-432, proving that the system remains robust at the deposit’s edge while demonstrating that high-grade mineralization also persists at shallow depths in this area.
Infill at Yaxtché
- De-risking areas of > 100-meter drill spacing: High-grade silver intercepts from hole QVD-438 with 2,100 g/t Ag over 1.0m and others, including QVD-447 and QVD-449, have successfully confirmed mineralized continuity across internal gaps exceeding 100 meters. By targeting these previously untested areas within the deposit footprint, the drilling program is systematically strengthening the resource, reinforcing the continuity and demonstrating an increasingly cohesive, continuous high-grade system at Yaxtché.
Joaquin Marias, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director of Argenta Silver Corp., commented: “These results are another strong indication of the consistency and expansion potential of the Yaxtché Deposit. The step-out drilling continues to confirm that the system remains open, and the high-grade intercepts within previously untested internal gaps are particularly valuable because they improve our understanding of the deposit’s continuity and coherence. We believe this work is adding meaningful value as we advance El Quevar toward its next stage of growth. Additional exploration drill hole assays remain pending from the laboratory, and geophysical survey data is currently being collected, which we believe will further enhance our understanding of the broader potential.”
Following its commencement on November 1st, 2025, the current drilling campaign continues to operate with two drill rigs at El Quevar. The Company continues to pursue a dual-track growth strategy: 40% of the Program targets Resource Expansion to strengthen the existing resource base, while the remaining 60% is dedicated to high-impact exploration for new discoveries.
The El Quevar Project is located in Salta, and spans an area of 57,000 hectares. The property remains underexplored with less than 3 % of the area covered with comprehensive exploration work. The property boasts exceptional infrastructure with over 60 km of internal roads, a fully owned, fully operational camp for 100 workers with multiple support buildings, and a railroad, gas pipeline and service road just 3 km from camp, while a high-voltage transmission line lies approximately 20 km from the exploration area. The robust infrastructure associated with the project provides a cost-effective platform to de-risk and accelerate future drilling and development.
The foundational Mineral Resource Estimate of the Yaxtché deposit boasts an indicated mineral resource of 45.3 million ounces of silver from 2.93 million tonnes grading 482 g/t Ag, and an inferred resource of 4.1 million ounces from 0.31 million tonnes grading 417 g/t Ag.
