Argenta Silver CEO Joaquin Marias Discusses Drill Results Infrastructure Treasury and Exploration
Drilling kicked off in late May as part of a fully funded 4,000-meter winter campaign designed to confirm known high-grade zones, step out along strike, and test new targets.
Initial Assay Results from El Quevar Project
Vancouver, BC – July 29, 2025 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Argenta Silver. On July 21, 2025, Argenta Silver (TSXV: AGAG) (OTCQB: AGAGF) (FSE: T1K) released the first batch of assay results from its ongoing 2025 winter diamond drilling program at the 100% owned El Quevar Project in Salta Province, Argentina.
Acquisition of the El Quevar Project
The El Quevar project was purchased for USD3.5 million in October, 2024 after the previous operator sold numerous assets to resolve “urgent liquidity problems.
Mineral Resource Estimate of Yaxtché Deposit
The foundational Mineral Resource Estimate of the Yaxtché 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 0.31 million tonnes grading 417 g/t Ag [1.]
Large Exploration Potential Across 56,709-Hectare Property
The property is 56,709-hectares, 160 X bigger than NYC’s Central Park.
About 1% to 3% of the property has been historically explored, with significant upside exploration potential. Renowned mining investor and philanthropist Frank Giustra owns 13.5% of the company. Legendary Argentine businessman Eduardo Elsztain owns 12.7% of AGAG.
Infrastructure Supporting Rapid Development
The project is supported by existing infrastructure, including road access, railroad, nearby power, and a fully operational camp enabling rapid exploration and development.
Leadership of CEO Joaquin Marias
Argenta Silver’s CEO Joaquin Marias is an Argentine national. A precious metals’ geologist, he has personal relationships with indigenous leaders, and extensive capital markets experience.
Marias’ knowledge of rocks, sensitivity to local stakeholders, and access to international financiers make him a rare triple-threat. His leadership has been embraced by the market. Since his appointment to the position of CEO on April 28, 2025, AGAG share price has risen 70%, from .27 to .46.
High-Grade Assay Results Confirm Strong Silver Potential
“With assays returning 533 g/t Ag over 20.20 meters in a drill intercept, a surface rock-chip sample topping 20,000 g/t Ag and legacy core that has been sampled for the first time returning positive high-grade silver results, we’ve only just begun to unlock the true potential of this high‑grade silver system,” stated Joaquin Marias, CEO, President and Director of Argenta Silver in the July 21, 2025 press release.
Drilling kicked off in late May as part of a fully funded 4,000-meter winter campaign designed to confirm known high-grade zones, step out along strike, and test new targets.
Step-Out and Confirmation Drilling Results
Assays from the first three drill holes have been received, with results for the remaining holes expected during Q3 as part of the planned continuous flow of news.
Of the three holes with assays in hand: One step‑out hole (QVD-408) extended the known mineralized footprint by 50 meters to the southeast. Two confirmation holes (QVD‑409 and QVD‑410 intersected multiple, broad high-grade silver intervals within the Yaxtché Deposit.
Webinar Insights on July Drill Results
6ix Inc. hosted a webinar with CEO Joaquin Marias to discuss the July 21, 2025 drill results from its inaugural program at El Quevar. There was a Q&A with the audience. The event, moderated by 6ix VP Business Solutions, Romeo Maione, was published later that day on YouTube.
Exploration, Expansion, and Confirmation Strategy
“The 2025 winter drilling will be 15% confirmation drilling, 25% expansion drilling and 60% exploration drilling. We believe that the deposit is still open,” Marias told Maione.
“We hit 533 grams per tonne of silver, over 20.2 meters, including one meter that has 3,549 grams per ton of silver. Those are good intercepts. This is a pure silver play. If you check the analytics table, you’ll see that gold is low, lead, zinc and copper are also very low.”
Market Performance and Capital Strength
“At this moment, we have a market cap of about $80 million,” Marias continued in the webinar. [Editor’s note: On July 28, 2025 the market cap is $91 million]. “We have $11 million in working capital in the bank. Less than 3% of this property has been explored. We are located in the north of Argentina in the province of Salta. This is the heart of the lithium triangle. It’s a very mining friendly jurisdiction.”
Strategic Location in the Andes Structural Corridor
“We are located over a major structural corridor that hosts some of the bigger copper Porphyry deposits on the Chilean side of the Andes.”
Robust Infrastructure and Camp Facilities
“We have a gas pipeline, a railroad and a road coming straight to the camp. Twenty kilometers to the north, we have a high voltage power line connected to two solar farms, one of which is the largest one in South America.”
“Within the property, we have over 60 kilometers of internal roads, an explosives warehouse, multiple buildings and 1.2-kilometer decline. We have a concrete foundation camp for 100 people. Two water wells are feeding the camp. We are close to the provincial road and the National Railway.”
Drilling kicked off in late May as part of a fully funded 4,000-meter winter campaign designed to confirm known high-grade zones, step out along strike, and test new targets.
Expect More Assay Results in Q3
“Expect more results from the ongoing exploration program,” stated Marias.
Global Silver Prices Surge in 2025
“Silver has emerged as one of the best-performing precious metals in 2025, with prices soaring more than 30 percent since the end of 2024,” reports Global Times on July 20, 2025. “The rally has outpaced gold’s rise this year and sparked a wave of investor interest across global markets”.
“The price of London spot silver hit $38.18 per ounce at the close on Friday, up by 32.17% compared with the price on December 31, 2024. The price of London spot gold also saw a sharp but lower increase of 27.68% during the period”.
Rising Global Silver Demand Driven by Green Technologies
“As silver price continues to rise, several Chinese banks have stepped up their precious metals’ businesses, launching products such as silver bars, ingots, and jewelry.”
“According to a report released by the Silver Institute on April 16, 2025, global industrial silver demand hit a record 680.5 million ounces in 2024, rising 4% year-on-year, driven by green technologies like solar, EVs, and power grids, as well as artificial intelligence-fueled electronics demand,” added the Global Times.
