Argenta drills 263 g/t silver over 35 metres in Argentina
Argenta Silver Corp. [AGAG-TSXV] has announced the fourth set of assay results from its winter 2025 diamond drilling program at the 100%-owned El Quevar project in Salta Province, Argentina.
The company said these results confirm high-grade silver intervals within the Yaxtche Deposit, notably including 694 g/t silver over 2.1 metres. Additional drill results highlight 204 silver over 2.00 metres at the Mani exploration target. Additional drill results from two remaining drill holes from the 2025 winter program, which was completed in September, 2025, are still pending from the laboratory, the company said in a press release.
Drilling commenced in late May, 2025 as part of a 4,244-metre campaign designed to confirm known high-grade zones, step out along strike and test new targets.
Results from hole QVD-411B validates Yaxtche Deposit continuity with 263 g/t silver over 35 metres, including 425 g/t silver over 6.00 metres, and 342 g/t silver over 9.00 metres, which also includes 694 g/t silver over 2.1 metres. This hole intercepted gold values of 0.35 g/t gold over 1.00 metre and 0.84 g/t gold over 1.00 metre.
Exploration hole QVD-420 at the Mani target returned 204 g/t silver over 2.00 metres, confirming the presence of a separate mineralized trend 800 metres south of the Yaxtche Deposit that will be followed up in the next drill program.
Argenta shares moved lower Monday, easing 1.47% $0.01 to 67 cents, Friday. The shares trade in a 52-week range of $1.75 cents and 15.5 cents.
Argenta owns 100% of the El Quevar Project. The project hosts an indicated resource of 45.3 million ounces of silver at a grade of 482 g/t silver and an inferred resource of 4.1 million ounces of 417 g/t silver, making it one of Argentina’s top three undeveloped silver deposits. Extensively explored between 2008 and 2013 by its previous owner, the project saw limited exploration in recent years. Argenta Silver acquired El Quevar in late 2024 and is now focused on unlocking its full value.
“With summer conditions returning to Argentina, and a strong treasury of $23 million, Argenta Silver is fully funded and prepared to commence the 2025 to 2026 drill program at the El Quevar Project,’’ said Argenta President and CEO Joaquin Marias. “This program marks the beginning fo a new phase for the company, building on the success of the prior exploration campaign,’’ he said. “Drilling at the Yaxtche Deposit returned 35 metres grading 263 g/t silver, confirming the continuity and high-grade silver mineralization in the deposit area. Results from our exploration drilling program on new targets indicates the presence of a mineralized system nearby that we have integrated into our geological model and look forward to following up in the upcoming drill program.’’
