[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, May 20 /CNW/ - Argentex Mining Corporation (TSX-V: ATX, OTCBB:\nAGXM) today announced results for another eight holes drilled during the\ncontinuing work program at its polymetallic Pinguino property located in Santa\nCruz, Argentina.\n\n\nAnalytical results from Pinguino's Marta Este zone include a 10.8-meter\n(35.4-foot) intersection that returned 3.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and\n679 g/t silver. Marta Este is a silver-enriched zone located approximately\n800 meters (2,600 feet) northwest and along strike from Marta Centro. In\naddition, a new drill hole from Marta Centro returned 10.7 meters (35.1 feet)\nof 34 g/t indium, 68 g/t silver and 7.3% combined lead-zinc.\n\n\n"Drilling continues to define excellent silver mineralization at Marta\nEste and indium-enriched base metal values at Marta Centro," said Ken Hicks,\nPresident of Argentex. "In addition, detailed mapping using high-resolution\nsatellite imagery, which has been ongoing simultaneously with drilling, shows\nan additional 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers) of veins within Pinguino's existing\nmineralized system. Our ongoing work program, including detailed surface\nexploration and drill testing of numerous zones, continues to expand\nPinguino's potential."\n\n\nResults\n\n\nMarta Este's hole P154-08 returned 18.7 meters (61.4 feet) of 422 g/t\nsilver and 1.9 g/t gold. Higher grade intervals within hole P154-08 include\n10.8 meters (35.4 feet) of 679 g/t silver and 3.1 g/t gold, including a\n4.1-meter (13.5-foot) contained interval of 1,561 g/t silver and 5.1 g/t gold.\nDrilling at Marta Este has been completed to a depth of approximately\n230 meters (754 feet). Additional assay results are pending and will be\nreported after they are received and compiled.\n\n\nHole P140-08 at Marta Centro shows continued expansion of the\nindium-enriched base-metal mineralization along strike and to depth. Hole\nP140-08 returned 10.7 meters (35.1 feet) of 34 g/t indium, 68 g/t silver and\n7.3% lead-zinc as well as two additional mineralized zones within the same\nhole. Drilling at Marta Centro has been completed to a depth of approximately\n250 meters (820 feet). Further results will be reported after assays are\nreceived and compiled.\n\n\nThe following table displays selected analytical results for four holes\ndrilled in Marta Este and one hole a...
