# Argenta Silver Step-Out Drilling Intersects 679 g/t Ag over 13.5m, including 1,163 g/t Ag over 4.0m Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/argenta-silver-step-out-drilling-intersects-679-g-t-ag-over-13-5m-including-1-16--6ec29dd1-d940-4bb8-bf13-70672d667b6d Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/AGAG/news/5950138619038936/argenta-silver-step-out-drilling-intersects-679-g-t-ag-over-13-5m-including-1-16 Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-04-16T12:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Argenta Silver Corp. - Ticker: AGAG - Exchange: TSX - Region: Salta Province, Argentina - Primary commodity: Silver - Secondary commodities: Gold, Lead, Zinc, Copper - Document categories: Drill results, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-08-20 23:59:04 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.90 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Argenta Silver Corp. announced high-grade silver drill results from its 2025-2026 Summer Diamond Drilling Campaign at the El Quevar Project in Salta Province, Argentina. The program successfully extended mineralization in both northwest and southeast directions with step-out holes and confirmed continuity in previously untested internal gaps with infill drilling. Notable intercepts include 1,163 g/t Ag over 4.0m and 2,100 g/t Ag over 1.0m, contributing to resource expansion and de-risking the Yaxtché Deposit. Reasoning: Argenta Silver's latest drill results from the El Quevar Project report multiple high-grade silver intercepts, including bonanza grades, from both step-out and infill drilling. This confirms and expands the Yaxtché deposit, de-risking previously untested areas. The results are supported by robust QA/QC, though true widths are not explicitly stated for individual intercepts. - Positive factor: bonanza\_grades - Positive factor: step\_out\_extension - Positive factor: infill\_drilling\_confirms\_continuity - Positive factor: qaqc\_disclosed - Positive factor: qp\_signed - Positive factor: cut\_off\_disclosed - Negative factor: apparent\_width\_only Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.
