TSX-V: AGAG
VANCOUVER, BC, June 30, 2026 /CNW/ - Argenta Silver Corp. (TSXV: AGAG) (OTCQX: AGAGF) (FSE: T1K) ("Argenta" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an exploration update on its 100%-owned flagship El Quevar Project in Salta Province, Argentina.
Mani-Copan: High-grade Silver at Surface; Similar Geochemical signature as the Yaxtché Deposit. 500 m × 90 m mineralized footprint; three mineralized levels confirmed by drilling.
20+ district-scale Targets defined: Systematic exploration across Quevar South, Quevar North, and Azufre has identified more than 20 priority targets at varying stages of advancement.
Regional Ground Magnetic Survey: 89% complete: 720+ km of survey lines across 68+ km²; favorable geophysical responses identified at multiple targets.
Metallurgical Test Work underway: Report expected by Q3 2026. Data from 27 drillholes will evaluate key parameters including mineralogical characteristics, recovery potential, concentrate quality, and processing methods.
Environmental Baseline Study & New Equipment: Ausenco study anticipated July 2026. A ReveNIR spectrometer deployed on site for alteration mapping and 3D modelling.
Resource Expansion Drilling: Yaxtché footprint expanded by ~20%, adding 270 m of strike to date; ~22,000 m drilled since May 2025 (~13,000 m in 2026), with ~40% of assays pending. The second drill rig was recently moved to the resource for accelerated expansion.
Joaquín Marias, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director of Argenta Silver Corp., commented: "Over the past year, our team has transformed El Quevar from a project historically understood through the lens of a single high-grade silver deposit into a much broader district-scale exploration opportunity. We have now defined more than 20 targets across multiple erosional windows, advanced several of them to drill-ready status, and continued to demonstrate the potential for resource growth around Yaxtché. What is particularly important is that this progress is being driven by systematic technical work: mapping, geochemistry, geophysics, structural interpretation, drilling, and metallurgical sampling. These are the foundations required to build a solid exploration pipeline. With a strong treasury of C$30 million and an experienced technical team, Argenta is well positioned to continue advancing El Quevar in a responsible and methodical manner, with the objective of creating sustainable value for our stakeholders."
Mani-Copan: An Emerging High-Grade Silver Target
Mani-Copan is a sub-parallel trend located approximately 800 meters from the Yaxtché Mineral Resource boundary (Figure 1). The target shares Yaxtché's pure silver geochemical signature and daylights at surface (Figure 2).
