VANCOUVER, BC, July 6, 2026 /CNW/ - Argenta Silver Corp. (TSXV: AGAG) (OTCQX: AGAGF) (FSE: T1K) ("Argenta" or the "Company") is pleased to report the fifth batch of assay results from its ongoing, upsized 2025–2026 diamond drilling campaign at its 100%-owned flagship El Quevar Project in Salta Province, Argentina. Drill hole QVD-469 intersected 446 g/t Ag over 28.0m, including 1,195 g/t Ag over 6.0m in a 120-meter step out to the northwest of the Current Mineral Resource boundary of the Yaxtché Deposit These results demonstrate the continuity of the high-grade silver mineralization and significantly expand the known mineralized footprint and effectively work to de-risk the Yaxtché deposit (see Figure 1).
Highlights*:
Yaxtché Deposit, north-west step-out and continuity:
Hole QVD-469: 120-meter step-out drill hole intersected 446 g/t Ag over 28.0 meters (from 334.0m), including 1,195 g/t Ag over 6.0 meters, including a bonanza-grade intercept of 4,870 g/t Ag over 1.0 meters. Additionally, the hole intersected 578 g/t Ag over 2.0 meters (from 344.0m), and 781 g/t Ag over 3.0 meters (from 351.0m), including 1,865 g/t Ag over 1.0 meters.
QVD-458: testing continuity in between step-out drillholes, returned an intercept of 135 g/t Ag over 16.0 meters (from 227.0m), including internal zones of 192 g/t Ag over 4.0 meters and 188 g/t Ag over 3.2 meters.
Carmen connection target, south-east Yaxtché Deposit step-out drilling:
Hole QVD-468: step-out drillhole that encountered a shallow high-grade zone of 343 g/t Ag over 2.5 meters (from 85.0m), and 0.69 g/t Au over 11.0 meters (from 147.0 m).
Hole QVD-466: complementary step-out drillhole to QVD-468, returned 224 g/t Ag and 2.2% Cu over 4.6 meters (from 128.0m), including a high-grade copper interval of 392 g/t Ag and 5.0% Cu over 1.6 meters.
QVD-465: 165-meter step-out drillhole, intersected 152 g/t Ag over 2.0 meters (from 185.0m) and 132.00 g/t Ag over 1.0 meters (from 190.0m) before drilling was temporarily halted at 211.0 meters before target depth. Drilling is scheduled to resume here shortly.
*Intervals shown are core length. Estimated true widths vary between 60 to 85% of core reported length. Insufficient re-modelling and drill density on new data has been completed to calculate true width at this time. |
Joaquín Marias, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director of Argenta Silver Corp., commented: "These results represent another important step forward for El Quevar and continue to demonstrate the strength, continuity, and expansion potential of the Yaxtché system. Hole QVD-469 is particularly encouraging, with a 120-meter step-out returning high-grade silver mineralization well outside the current resource footprint. Just as importantly, the results from the Yaxtché–Carmen corridor continue to support our view that El Quevar is much larger than historically understood, with strong evidence of a broader mineralized system carrying silver, gold, and copper. With two rigs active, a significantly expanded drill program, and a large portion of the property still underexplored, we believe Argenta is only beginning to unlock the district-scale potential of this asset."
