Executive Summary

  • Argenta Silver released the fifth and final assay batch from its 2025 Winter Diamond Drilling Program, highlighting a new “Andrea” exploration target with continuous anomalous silver grades (123 m @ 5 g/t Ag; 100 m @ 7 g/t Ag).
  • The company announced the start of its 2025‑2026 Summer Exploration Program at El Quevar, planning 12,000–15,000 m of diamond drilling from November 2025 through June 2026, with two rigs already operating.
  • Winter program results also included multiple high‑grade intercepts (e.g., QVD‑409: 309 g/t Ag over 26 m; QVD‑410: 533 g/t Ag over 20.2 m; record QVD‑412: 18,467 g/t Ag over 1.05 m), confirming and expanding the Yaxtché resource.

Key Details

  • Andrea Target – New Discovery
  • QVD‑421: 123 m core length @ 5 g/t Ag (core interval); includes higher‑grade zones of 57 g/t Ag over 1 m and 65 g/t Ag over 1 m; also 0.42 g/t Au over 1 m.

  • QVD‑422: 100 m core length @ 7 g/t Ag; includes 23 g/t Ag over 8 m.

  • Summer Exploration Program (2025‑2026)

  • Planned drilling: 12,000–15,000 m of diamond drilling.
  • Start date: 1 Nov 2025; end date: Jun 2026.
  • Capital allocation: ~40 % to Resource Expansion, ~60 % to New Discoveries.

  • Activities: drilling (2 rigs), geological mapping, soil/rock sampling, geophysical surveys, alteration & metallurgical studies, petrographic/mineralogical analyses.

  • Winter Program Highlights (total 4,244 m)

  • QVD‑409: 309 g/t Ag over 26 m; high‑grade sub‑intervals 713 g/t Ag over 8.25 m and 1,169 g/t Ag over 2.5 m; also 1.22 g/t Au over 1 m.
  • QVD‑410: 533 g/t Ag over 20.2 m; includes 1,320 g/t Ag over 4 m (3,549 g/t Ag over 1 m).
  • QVD‑411B (re‑drill): 263 g/t Ag over 35 m; sub‑intervals 425 g/t Ag over 6 m, 342 g/t Ag over 9 m (694 g/t Ag over 2.1 m); Au up to 0.84 g/t.
  • QVD‑408: 112 g/t Ag over 19.2 m; includes 408 g/t Ag over 2.2 m.
  • QVD‑414: 545 g/t Ag over 43.2 m; includes 1,302 g/t Ag over 8 m and 905 g/t Ag over 7.7 m.
  • QVD‑412 (record): 1,026 g/t Ag over 40 m; peak 2,246 g/t Ag over 15 m; ultimate record 18,467 g/t Ag over 1.05 m.

  • Additional notable intercepts: QVD‑413 (414 g/t Ag over 14.35 m), QVD‑415 (validated geological model), QVD‑416 (314 g/t Ag over 2 m at Atenea target).

  • Resource Context

  • Existing indicated resource for Yaxtché deposit: 45.3 Moz Ag @ 482 g/t from 2.93 Mt; inferred resource: 4.1 Moz Ag @ 417 g/t from 0.31 Mt.

  • Resource remains open at depth and laterally (southeast & northwest).

  • Operational Infrastructure

  • El Quevar covers 57,000 ha with extensive road network, camp for ~100 workers, nearby rail, gas pipeline, service road, and high‑voltage transmission line—facilitating low‑cost exploration.

Notable Quotes

“The final assay results from our 2025 Winter Program have just been received, coinciding with the launch of our 2025–2026 Summer Drilling Campaign… Capital allocation has been designed strategically, with approximately 40 % directed toward resource expansion and 60 % toward exploration and new discoveries.” – Joaquín Marias, President & CEO

Materiality Assessment: Material – Positive (significant drilling results that expand known mineralization and a large upcoming summer drill program indicating substantial future upside).
