Argenta Silver (TSX-V:AGAG) reports ‘high-grade’ silver intercepts and gold-copper mineralisation from its ongoing drilling program at the El Quevar Project in Argentina.
The company intersected 1,599 grams per tonne silver (Ag) over 4m, including 2,780g/t Ag over 2m, at the Yaxtché deposit resource expansion area. A step-out hole located 100m northwest from the resource boundary delivered the results.
At the Carmen gold-copper target, hole QVD-465 returned 0.45g/t gold (Au) and 0.19% copper (Cu) over 46.0m from 233.0m depth.
The intercept included 1.28g/t Au over 4m and 1.71g/t Au with 2.43% Cu over 1m.
“El Quevar continues to demonstrate substantial exploration potential beyond the current resource,” CEO Officer Joaquín Marias says.
The drilling demonstrates a spatial relationship between the main Yaxtché silver resource and the emerging Carmen gold-copper zone, where the silver-rich system transitions into gold-copper mineralisation.
Argenta has increased Yaxtché’s strike length footprint by approximately 25% since drilling began in May 2025.
The company has completed over 27,500m of diamond drilling across 92 holes using two rigs focused on resource expansion.
A historical re-sampling program of 171 drill holes identified 4,372.6m of previously unassayed core.
Initial results from 85 holes confirmed significant silver mineralisation in intervals never sampled by the previous operator, including 1,465g/t Ag over 1m and 501g/t Ag over 3m.
The El Quevar Project hosts an indicated mineral resource of 45.3 million ounces (Moz) of Ag from 2.93 million tonnes grading 482g/t Ag, plus an inferred resource of 4.1Moz.
Argenta plans to update its mineral resource estimate in Q1 2027.
