[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Feb. 4 /CNW/ - Argentex Mining Corporation (TSX-V: ATX, OTCBB:\nAGXM) is pleased to announce drill results for eight additional holes from the\n2008 diamond drilling program at its flagship polymetallic Pinguino property\nin Santa Cruz, Argentina. Results include a 12.7-meter (41.7-foot)\nintersection at Marta Centro that returned 141.0 grams per tonne (g/t) silver,\n9.39% combined lead-zinc and 60.2 g/t indium.\n\n\n"We continue to receive impressive grades and intersection lengths from\nveins within the 3.0-kilometer (1.86-mile) by 2.0-kilometer (1.24-mile) core\nof the Pinguino property, which includes the Marta Centro, Marta Este, Kasia\nand Yvonne Sur zones. The intersections show continuity of the mineralized\nstructures along strike and to the current tested depth of approximately 200\nmeters (656 feet) below surface. Results for our test holes drilled to deeper\ndepths in areas including Marta Centro and Marta Este are still pending," said\nKen Hicks, President of Argentex. "Results received to date continue to\nreinforce our belief that Pinguino's mineralizing system ranks among the\nlargest in Patagonia. With approximately 60 kilometers (37 miles) of veins\nidentified to date and only a small portion of these veins drill tested,\nexcellent potential remains for additional discoveries."\n\n\nArgentex has drilled 269 holes at Pinguino, testing 11 epithermal veins\nin the process, for a total of 30,000+ meters (98,000 feet). The robust\nmineralized system remains open in all directions. Following receipt of all\nremaining analytical results and interpretation, Argentex anticipates\ncompleting its first-ever National Instrument 43-101-compliant resource\ncalculation for Pinguino during the current year.\n\n\nResults\n\n\nThe following table displays selected analytical results for eight new\nholes, including two drilled in Marta Centro, two at Marta Este, two at Kasia\nand two at Yvonne Sur.\n\n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\nDrill From To Length Indium Gold Silver Lead Zinc\nHole (m) (m) (m)(x) (g/t) (g/t) (g/t) (%) (%)\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\nArea: Marta Centro\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\nP164-08 198.00 210.70 12.70 60.2 0.44 141.0 3.34 6.0...
