en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canadian mineral exploration company Argenta Silver Corp. has announced the third set of assay results from its 2025–2026 summer diamond drilling campaign at the El Quevar project in Salta Province, Argentina. Since its commencement on November 1, 2025, the current drilling program continues to operate with two rigs at El Quevar. Joaquin Marias, President, CEO, and Director of the company, stated, "These results are another strong indicator of the consistency and expansion potential of the Yaxtché deposit."

The latest multiple high-grade silver intervals, intersecting beyond the resource boundary of the Yaxtché deposit, continue to demonstrate mineralization continuity in the northwest extension area (step-out holes QVD-430, QVD-440, and QVD-443) and the southeast extension area (including step-out hole QVD-436). Hole QVD-438 intersected 2100 g/t silver over 1.0 meter within a previously undrilled area. These results effectively reduce the geological risk in the central portion of the deposit. The company continues to execute its dual-track growth strategy, allocating 40% of the drilling meterage for resource expansion and 60% for high-impact exploration to discover new resources.

In the northwest extension area, step-out hole QVD-430 intersected 679 g/t silver over 13.50 meters, including high-grade intervals of 1016 g/t silver over 3.00 meters and 1163 g/t silver over 4.00 meters. QVD-440 and QVD-443 intersected 172 g/t silver over 4.00 meters and 134 g/t silver over 2.00 meters respectively, confirming that the deposit remains open in that direction. In the southeast extension area, QVD-436 intersected 185 g/t silver over 8.00 meters and also intercepted a separate gold zone with 0.85 g/t gold over 3.40 meters. The Yaxtché deposit has an indicated mineral resource of 45.3 million ounces of silver from 2.93 million tonnes of ore grading 482 g/t silver, and an inferred resource of 4.1 million ounces of silver from 310,000 tonnes of ore grading 417 g/t silver.
