Wedoany.com Report on Feb 24th, Canadian mining company Argenta Silver Corp. has announced the latest drilling results from its El Quevar project in Salta Province, Argentina. The data significantly expands the silver mineralization footprint of the Yaxtché deposit and confirms, for the first time, the presence of gold and copper mineralization in the Carmen target area.
The company reported that "step-out" drilling extended the silver mineralization zone by approximately 270 meters, covering extensions to the northwest and southeast of the previously defined resource area. Drilling highlights included an interval of 7.5 meters grading 4.982 grams per tonne (g/t) silver, including 4.5 meters at 6.859 g/t silver, along with multiple high-grade sections exceeding 500 g/t silver.
These findings enhance the expansion potential of the Yaxtché deposit, which remains open in multiple directions. The results confirm the continuity of high-grade mineralization between known areas and new exploration targets. Concurrently, Argenta Silver has made progress at the Mani-Copan target, located approximately 500 meters to the south, where drilling and surface samples have identified associated silver mineralization intersections.
In the Carmen target area, one drill hole revealed a 22.9-meter mineralized zone grading 0.29 g/t gold with notable copper content, introducing potential diversity to the project's metal portfolio. Argenta Silver's President and CEO, Joaquín Marías, stated that these results "demonstrate the strong expansion potential of the system." The company plans to continue its exploration program to expand the resource base and evaluate new target areas.
The wholly-owned El Quevar project is located in the Puna region of Salta, an area experiencing increasing exploration activity with potential for precious metals and copper development. These latest results further solidify the company's position as an advanced-stage silver project with growth potential in Argentina.
