Argenta Silver talks up recent results

An anonymous director reports ARGENTA SILVER VALIDATES DEPOSIT CONTINUITY AND EXPANDS KNOWN RESOURCE WITH HIGH GRADE SILVER INTERCEPTS On Aug. 13, 2025, Argenta Silver Corp. released a second batch of assay results from its continuing 2025 winter diamond drilling program at the 100-per-cent-owned El Quevar project in Salta province, Argentina. Argenta Silver is a young company (eight months old) helmed by a young chief executive officer, Joaquin Marias (37 years old). Youthful leadership with strong geological credentials, backed by high-level strategic advisers (Frank Giustra and Eduardo Elsztain) has been well received by the market. Year to date, Argenta's share price has risen 300 per cent from 0.21 to 0.63. The El Quevar project spans an area of 57,000 hectares -- equivalent to a square with sides 15 miles long. Less than 3 per cent of the land package has been comprehensively explored. The property has 60 kilometres of internal roads, a fully operational camp for 100 workers, with a railroad, gas pipeline and a service road three kilometers from camp. The 2025 4,000-metre winter drilling is approximately 15-per-cent confirmation drilling, 25-per-cent expansion drilling and 60-per-cent exploration drilling. Argenta believes that the Yaxtche deposit is still open. On Aug. 14, 2025, 6ix Inc. hosted a webinar with chief executive officer Joaquin Marias to discuss the latest drill results and the long-term value creation strategy at Argenta. The event, moderated by 6ix vice-president of business solutions, Romeo Maione, was published on YouTube. "There is no gold, no lead, no zinc, no copper in these analytical results," Mr. Marias told Mr. Maione. "It's a pure silver play, which is rare and precious. Confirmation drill holes help us to understand the technicalities of the resource. The stepout drill hole is telling us that the resource might continue. "The success of the up-dip hole QVD-413, along with the project's highest-ever assay, 18,467 g/t silver over 1.05 metres within a broader interval of 1,026 g/t silver over 40.00 metres in QVD-412, validates and reinforces our dual strategy," stated Mr. Marias in the Aug. 13 press release. "Expanding the known resource while aggressively exploring the vast, untested areas of this high-grade system. "From a technical standpoint," continued Mr. Marias, "the extraordinary tenor of the Yaxtche mineralization highlights the strength and scale of the hydrothermal system that formed El Quevar." Alongside previously disclosed drill holes from this program (see news release from July 21, 2025), the results also confirm the high-grade, pure silver character of the mineralization and reinforce the need for systematic exploration outside of the existing resource (Yaxtche deposit) when less than 3 per cent of the property has seen modern exploration. On Aug. 12, 2025, Argenta Silver announced that it had raised $15-million at a price of 40 cents per unit. Pursuant to the offering, Frank Giustra acquired 450,000 common shares and 225,000 warrants. Mr. Giustra's ownership position in Argenta now represents 15.09 per cent of the outstanding common shares and 16.78 per cent on a partially diluted basis, assuming the exercise of 3,425,000 warrants. On Aug. 12, 2025, Argenta also announced the closing of an investment of $2.5-million by Tyrus S.A., an affiliate of Eduardo Elsztain, on the same terms as the investor rights agreement dated April 28, 2025. Elsztain is Argentina's largest real-estate developer through IRSA, which owns 15 shopping centers and numerous hotels and resorts. Elsztain is also a key stakeholder in the agriculture company, Crescud, producing cattle, soybeans, wheat, corn and sunflowers on 800,00 hectares of farmland. "Mr. Elsztain is a very influential businessman in Argentina," Marias confirmed to Guy Bennett, CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). "He understands the mining industry. It's part of our strategy to attract long-term, high-quality, well-connected strategic investors. We are grateful for Mr. Elsztain's ongoing support." Mr. Elsztain, through IFIS Ltd. and Tyrus, owns and/or controls directly or indirectly 31.25 million common shares of Argenta, and 8,325,000 warrants, representing 12.57 per cent of the outstanding common shares and 15.40 per cent on a partially diluted basis. Elsztain maintains a close relationship with Argentina's President, Javier Milei. During the 2023 election campaign, Mr. Milei set up his base of operations at the Libertador hotel, owned by IRSA. The El Quevar project was purchased for $3.5-million (U.S.) in October, 2024, after the previous operator sold numerous assets to resolve "urgent liquidity problems." Drilling kicked off in late May as part of a fully financed 4,000-metre winter campaign designed to confirm known high-grade zones, stepout along strike and test new targets. (Argentina is in the Southern Hemisphere: the "winter drill program" occurs during Canada's summer.) Assays from the first group of results were announced on July 21, 2025 (see news release from July 21, 2025). The exploration program is still continuing and results for the remaining holes are expected by early and late September.

The foundational mineral resource estimate of the Yaxtche 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 310,000 tonnes grading 417 g/t Ag.
