Significant Silver Drilling Progress at Argenta Silver Corp.
Argenta Silver Corp. (TSXV: AGAG, AGAGF) is excited to share remarkable assay results from its ongoing winter diamond drilling program at the El Quevar Project. This project, which the company fully owns, continues to uncover promising mineralization. Recent drill results showcase a 70-meter step-out that significantly extends the known resource footprint, reaffirming the continuity of the Yaxtché Deposit. A new exploration target named Atenea has also been defined, further highlighting the project's growth potential.
Impressive Drill Results
The recent findings from drill hole QVD-414 reveal an outstanding 545 g/t Ag over a length of 43.20 meters, including an extraordinary 1,302 g/t Ag over 8 meters. These results contemporaneously suggest the resource zone has expanded to the northwest. Another drill hole, QVD-416, served as an initial test of the Atenea target and yielded 314 g/t Ag over 2.00 meters, indicating substantial potential for discovering new mineralization zones within the project.
