Executive Summary

  • Argenta Silver released second‑batch assay results from its 2025 winter diamond‑drill program, highlighting an unprecedented 18,467 g/t Ag over 1.05 m within a broader 1,026 g/t Ag over 40 m intercept (hole QVD‑412).
  • Additional high‑grade intervals were intersected in holes QVD‑413 (414 g/t Ag over 14.35 m) and QVD‑412 (multiple sub‑intervals >2,000 g/t Ag).
  • The company announced the start of drilling on four new peripheral targets (Atenea, Andrea, Argenta, Mani‑Copan) to expand the Yaxtché deposit, underscoring a systematic push into largely unexplored ground.

Key Details

  • Hole QVD‑412 (Infill, 60 m gap):
  • 1,026 g/t Ag over 40 m total core length.

  • Highlighted sub‑intervals:

    • 532 g/t Ag over 7 m (includes 1,575 g/t Ag over 2 m).
    • 2,246 g/t Ag over 15 m (includes 2,815 g/t Ag over 2 m; 4,423 g/t Ag over 6 m, which contains the record 18,467 g/t Ag over 1.05 m).
    • 322 g/t Ag over 4 m and 347 g/t Ag over 9 m (includes 519 g/t Ag over 3 m).

  • Hole QVD‑413 (Up‑dip expansion):

  • 414 g/t Ag over 14.35 m total core length.

  • Highlighted sub‑intervals: 795 g/t Ag over 3 m; 466 g/t Ag over 4 m; 399 g/t Ag over 3 m.

  • Hole QVD‑411 (Abandoned): Halted at 92 m due to operational challenges; target will be re‑drilled later.

  • Assay Summary Table (cut‑off 100 g/t Ag): Provides from‑to depths, lengths, and grades for Ag, Au, Pb, Zn, Cu for each interval listed above.

  • Exploration Outlook:

  • Drilling continues on new targets (Atenea, Andrea, Argenta, Mani‑Copan) outside the main Yaxtché deposit—areas previously untested.

  • Results expected to further define resource expansion potential; less than 3 % of the 57,000‑ha property has been explored to date.

  • Webinar Announcement: CEO Joaquín Marias will host a live investor webinar on 14 August 2025 (3 pm EST / 12 pm PST).

Notable Quotes

“From a technical standpoint, the extraordinary tenor of the Yaxtché mineralization highlights the strength and scale of the hydrothermal system… validates and reinforces our dual strategy: expanding the known resource while aggressively exploring the vast, untested areas of this high‑grade system.” – Joaquín Marias, President & CEO

Materiality Assessment: Material – Positive (record‑high silver grades and expansion drilling indicate significant upside to the project’s resource potential).
