Drilling returned robust and continuous, anomalous silver grades over 123.00 meters at the newly discovered Andrea exploration target. The company is also pleased to announce the commencement of its summer exploration program, highlighted by 12,000 to 15,000 meters of drilling.
Highlights:
-
QVD-421 intersected 123.00 meters with 5 g/t Ag (Silver) on the initial drillhole at the Andrea target, while QVD-422 confirmed the continuity of the target, yielding 7 g/t Ag over 100.00 metres. These findings confirm the presence of a separate wide zone with anomalous silver values located 950 m northeast of the Yaxtché Deposit.

The 2025-2026 Summer Exploration Program has commenced with 2 drill rigs at the El Quevar Project. It is expected that 12,000 to 15,000 meters will be drilled between November 2025 and June 2026.
Joaquin Marias, CEO, President and Director of Argenta Silver Corp. commented: “The final assay results from our 2025 Winter Program have just been received, coinciding with the launch of our 2025–2026 Summer Drilling Campaign. The winter program, which totaled 4,244 meters, delivered strong results for what we consider to be the foundational campaign of Argenta Silver Corp. These results, together with extensive surface and desktop work, have guided the design of an ambitious exploration plan for the Argentine summer season spanning from November 2025 through June 2026. During this period, we plan to complete 12,000 to 15,000 meters of drilling, supported by geophysics, surface sampling, geological mapping, and advanced alteration and metallurgical studies. Capital allocation has been designed strategically, with approximately 40% directed toward resource expansion and 60% toward exploration and new discoveries. At present, two rigs are already turning, and we expect to begin receiving results in the coming weeks.”
The principal focus of the current campaign will be Quevar South, where extensive drilling and surface work are underway, while Quevar North remains open for evaluation in future seasons. Despite the scale of planned activity, the breadth of the Quevar South area ensures that significant portions of the property will remain open for continued exploration beyond this campaign.
About El Quevar Project
The El Quevar Project 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. The mineral resource area remains open at depth and in multiple directions, particularly to the southeast and northwest.
