Oct. 27, 2025
/CNW/ -
Argenta Silver Corp.
(TSXV: AGAG) (OTCQB:
AGAGF) (FSE: T1K)
("Argenta" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce the fourth set of assay
results from its 2025 Winter Diamond Drilling Program (completed
mid-September 2025
) at the
100% owned El Quevar Project in
Salta Province
,
Argentina
. These results confirm high-grade silver
intervals within the Yaxtché Deposit, notably including 694 g/t Silver over 2.1 meters. Additional drill
results highlight 204 g/t Silver over 2.00 meters at the Mani exploration target. Results from two
remaining drillholes from the 2025 Winter Program are still pending from laboratory.
Highlights*:
QVD-411B: validates Yaxtché Deposit continuity with 263 g/t Ag over 35.00 meters,
including 425 g/t Ag over
6.00 m
, and 342 g/t Ag over
9.00 m
, which also includes 694 g/t
Ag over
2.1 m
. The hole also intercepted
gold values of
0.35 g/t Au over
1.00 m
and 0.84
g/t Au over
1.00 m
.
QVD-420: exploration hole at the Mani target returned: 204 g/t Ag over 2.00 meters.
This
finding confirms the presence of
a separate mineralized trend
800 m
south of the Yaxtché
Deposit
that will be followed up on in the next drill program.
*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:
"With summer
conditions returning to
Argentina
and a strong treasury of
C$23 million
, Argenta Silver Corp. is
fully funded and prepared to commence the 2025–2026 Drill Program at the El Quevar Project.
This program marks the beginning of a new phase for the Company, building on the success of the
prior exploration campaign.
Drilling at the Yaxtché Deposit returned 35 meters grading 263 g/t Ag,
confirming the continuity of high-grade silver mineralization in the deposit area. Results from our
exploration drilling on new targets indicates the presence of a mineralized system nearby that we
have integrated into our geological model and look forward to following up on in the upcoming drill
program."
2025 Winter Drilling Program Results – Fourth Group of Results
Drilling commenced in late May as part of a 4,244 m winter campaign designed to confirm known
high
grade zones, step out along strike, and test new targets. Assays from the first group of results
were announced on
July 21, 2025
(see news release from
July 21, 2025
), from the second group of
results on
August 13, 2025
(see news release from
August 13, 2025
), and third group of results on
September 23, 2025
(see news release from
September 23, 2025
). The 2025 Winter Drilling
Program concluded in the second week of September. Pending results from two exploration
drillholes are expected by the beginning of November.

program. (CNW Group/Argenta Silver Corp.)
From the four drill holes in the fourth batch of results (see Figure 01)*:
Confirmation drillhole
QVD-411B
proves the presence of multiple silver mineralization intervals
that correlate with those encountered in historical drilling, as well as multiple gold mineralization
intervals.
The hole confirms the presence of a gold zone beneath the silver zone within
the Yaxtché Deposit
.
Exploration drillhole
QVD-418
returned anomalous silver results which reinforce the presence
of
mineralization
within the
new exploration target, Atenea
, located approximately
400 and
700 meters
north of the
Yaxtché
Deposit.
The exploration hole indicates that the mineralization
extends towards the north of this new target and suggests the presence of an open new zone
preserved beneath cover. Consequently, this area will be the focus of follow-up drilling in
subsequent campaigns.
Exploration drillholes
QVD-419
and
QVD-420
have successfully identified silver mineralization on
the Mani exploration target, located 700 to 800 meters to the south of the Yaxtche Deposit.
where surface sampling identified high silver grades (see news release from
July 21, 2025
).
QVD-420 returned an intercept of 36 g/t Ag over 14.00 meters including
204 g/t Ag over 2.00
meters
, while QVD-419 returned anomalous silver values of
30 g/t Ag over 23.00 meters
.
These findings suggest the
potential for additional mineralization near the surface (see
Table 1)
, which could lead to an
expansion of the project's overall scope and increase its
upside
.
"Anomalous silver values"
refers to geochemical assay results that indicate silver concentrations
exceeding the natural background levels typically found in unmineralized country rock. In the case of
these targets, average background silver values are generally below 0.5 g/t Ag; therefore, any
assay returning values above this 0.5 g/t Ag threshold is considered anomalous and serves as a
geochemical indicator of potential mineralization.

About El Quevar Project
The El Quevar Project is located in Salta,
Argentina
and spans an area of 57,000 hectares. The
property remains underexplored with less than 3 % of the area covered with comprehensive
exploration work. The property boasts exceptional infrastructure with over 60 km of internal roads, a
fully owned, fully operational camp for 100 workers with multiple support buildings, and a railroad,
gas pipeline and service road just 3 km from camp, while a high
voltage transmission line lies
approximately 20 km from the exploration area. The robust infrastructure associated with the project
provides a cost-effective platform to de
risk and accelerate future drilling and development.
The foundational Mineral Resource Estimate of the Yaxtché deposit boasts an indicated mineral
resource of
45.3 million ounces of silver from 2.93 million tonnes grading 482 g/t Ag
, and an
inferred resource of
4.1 million ounces from 0.31 million tonnes grading 417 g/t Ag
(1). The
mineral resource area remains open at depth and in multiple directions, particularly to the southeast
and northwest.
The mineralization at the Yaxtché deposit is defined as a silver rich, high to intermediate-sulphidation
epithermal system with associated gold. Mineralization is controlled by NW-SE and NE-SW fault
structures and is mainly hosted in brecciated zones and dacite domes. Silver minerals at Yaxtché
consist of complex silver sulphides, sulphosalts and native silver. These minerals are found within
silicified breccias, commonly appearing as veinlets, stockworks, disseminations, and breccia fillings.
QAQC Statement
The Company adheres to CIM Best Practices Guidelines for exploration-related activities conducted
on its property. Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures are overseen by a
Qualified Person.
All geochemical sample assay results from
Argenta Silver
have been independently monitored
through a rigorous QA/QC protocol. This protocol includes the regular insertion of blind standard
reference materials, blanks, and duplicates.
The logging and sampling of the El Quevar drill core were completed at Argenta's core handling
facilities in Salta,
Argentina
. Drill core was diamond-sawn on-site, and half drill-core samples were
securely transported to Alex Stewart Laboratories' (ASI) sample preparation facilities in Jujuy, and
forwarded to their facility in Mendoza,
Argentina
for analysis. The other half-core is retained on site
for reference.
Soil samples were prepared by drying and sieving to minus 80 mesh. Rock chip and diamond drill
core samples were dried and then underwent 2 stages crushing to 80% passing minus 10 mesh
before collecting a 600-gram split that was pulverized to 90% passing -140 mesh. A 200-gram split
is sent for analysis and the remaining 400g is archived. All samples were analyzed for gold using a
fire assay on a 50-gram sample with an AAS finish, and for 39 elements by 4 acid, ICP-OES on a
0.2-gram sample. Soils were also analyzed for mercury using cold vapor AA on a 0.2-gram.
Overlimit silver was determined by a 50-gram fire assay with a gravimetric finish and over limit lead,
zinc and copper were determined by ICP_OES using a mixture of highly oxidizing acids on a 0.2-
gram sample.
