VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 21, 2025 /CNW/ – Argenta Silver Corp. (TSXV: AGAG) (OTCQB: AGAGF) (FSE: T1K) (“Argenta” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the first batch of assay results from its ongoing 2025 winter diamond drilling program at the 100% owned El Quevar Project in Salta Province, Argentina. The first drill holes completed by the Company on the El Quevar Project have delivered wide, high-grade silver intersections, and results from additional sampling of historic drill core confirms upside for resource expansion. Surface rock sampling from underexplored areas on the property have returned multiple high-grade silver results highlighting the growth potential of new mineralized zones.
Highlights
QVD-410 delivers 533 g/t Ag over 20.20 meters, including 1,320 g/t Ag over 4.00 m (which includes 3,549 g/t Ag over 1.00 m), plus 484 g/t Ag over 5.00 m, and 805 g/t Ag over 3.20 m.
QVD-409 validates continuity with 309 g/t Ag over 26.00 meters, including 713 g/t Ag over 8.25 m, which also includes 1,169 g/t Ag over 2.50 m, plus a shallow 1.00 m with 1.22 g/t Au.
QVD-408 step-out success: 112 g/t Ag over 19.20 meters, including 408 g/t Ag over 2.20 m and 105 g/t Ag over 7.00 m, extending the high-grade zone 50 m to the southeast.
Historic core sampling: new sampling of un-assayed historic drill core now assayed, returning up to 602 g/t Ag over 3.00 m including 882 g/t Ag over 1.00 m. 35?% of historical drilling. (~?38,000?m) has been cut and assayed, leaving some 66,000?m of core unanalyzed and available at a low cost for potential resource expansion.
Surface sampling exceeds analytical upper detection limit of 20,000 g/t Ag for a single rock grab sample, with additional surface rock grab samples of 16,145 g/t and 6,004 g/t Ag across the new Quevar South targets.
*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.
Joaquin Marias, CEO, President and Director of Argenta Silver Corp. commented: “The wait is over. While silver spot prices are on the verge of new record highs, our first batch of results is here, a true statement of El?Quevar’s potential to deliver unparalleled results. Since the company’s inception, our approach has been laser?focused on creating sustainable value for our stakeholders. With assays returning 533 g/t Ag over 20.20?m in a drill intercept, a surface rock-chip sample topping 20,000?g/t Ag and legacy core that has been sampled for the first time returning positive high-grade silver results, we’ve only just begun to unlock the true potential of this high?grade silver system. Expect more results from the ongoing exploration program.”
2025 Winter Drilling Program Results – First Group of Results
Drilling kicked off in late May as part of a fully funded 4,000?m winter campaign designed to confirm known high?grade zones, step out along strike, and test new targets. Assays from the first three drill holes have been received, with results for the remaining holes expected by mid-August and mid-September.
Of the three holes with assays in hand:
One step?out hole (QVD-408) extended the known mineralized footprint by 50?m to the southeast, an area previously untested by historical drilling which was recently highlighted by Argenta’s technical team to have potential. This result supports follow?up drilling in upcoming programs and encourages the company to test the extensions of the current deposit for further step-outs.
Two confirmation holes (QVD?409 and QVD?410) intersected multiple, broad high?grade silver intervals within the Yaxtché Deposit, providing fresh material to document alteration, lithology and the consistent high?grade silver character of the mineralization. see & reads more on
