Argenta Silver El Quevar Project in Argentina

Argenta’s silver streak continues at Yaxtché

Argenta Silver (TSX-V:AGAG) has returned ‘high-grade’ silver intercepts from step-out drilling at its El Quevar Project in Argentina.

Hole QVD-469 returned 446 grams per tonne silver (Ag) over 28m, including 1,195g/t Ag over 6m.

The intercept, located 120m northwest of the current mineral resource boundary at the Yaxtché Deposit, included a ‘bonanza-grade’ interval of 4,870g/t Ag over 1m.

Additional results from the same hole returned 578g/t Ag over 2m and 781g/t Ag over 3m, including 1,865g/t Ag over 1m.

Step-out hole QVD-458 tested mineralisation continuity between previously drilled holes and historical drilling, returning 135g/t Ag over 16m, with internal higher-grade zones of 192g/t Ag over 4m and 188g/t Ag over 3.2m.

Drilling southeast of the Yaxtché Resource in holes QVD-466 and QVD-468 intersected shallow ‘high-grade’ silver alongside anomalous gold-copper mineralisation.

QVD-466 returned 224g/t Ag over 4.6m, including 315g/t Ag over 1m and 392g/t Ag over 1.6m. Meanwhile, QVD-468 intersected 343g/t Ag over 2.5m.

“These results represent another important step forward for El Quevar and continue to demonstrate the strength, continuity, and expansion potential of the Yaxtché system,” CEO Joaquín Marias says.

The drilling narrows the untested gap between Yaxtché and the Carmen target to approximately 100m, suggesting a potential structural connection between the silver-dominant Yaxtché deposit and the gold-copper Carmen system.

Since May 2025, the company has completed over 22,000m of drilling across 68 holes and upsized the program to 45,000m for the 2026 diamond drilling campaign. Two rigs remain active on site.

“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,” Marias adds.

Argenta Silver is a Canadian silver explorer focused on advancing its flagship El Quevar silver project in Argentina’s mining-friendly Salta province.
