Argenta Silver Intersects 0.45 g/t Au and 0.19 % Cu over 46.0m at Gold-Copper target; 1,599 g/t Ag over 4.0m including 2,780 g/t Ag over 2.0m at Resource Expansion Drilling Area

VANCOUVER, BC , Oct. 5, 2026 /CNW/ -- Argenta Silver Corp. (TSXV: AGAG) (OTCQX: AGAGF) (FSE: T1K) ( "Argenta" or the " Company ") is pleased to report the sixth batch of assay results from its ongoing 2025–2026 diamond drilling program at its 100%-owned flagship El Quevar Project in Salta Province, Argentina (Figure 1). The latest results are from the extension of drill hole QVD-465 below the silver zone reported in July. This new intercept confirms the presence of a gold-copper-mineralized zone ("Carmen" Target) that extends away from the Yaxtché deposit.

2026 drilling at Carmen demonstrates a clear spatial relationship between the main Yaxtché silver resource and an emerging new zone of gold-copper mineralization (see Figure 2), where the silver-rich system transitions into the gold-copper system. Additionally, the Company continues to expand the footprint of high-grade silver mineralization in the western part of the Yaxtché Deposit. A step-out hole 100 meters northwest from the resource boundary intersected 1,599 g/t Ag over 4.00 m . The Company has increased Yaxtché's strike length footprint by approximately 25% since drilling began in May 2025.

Hole QVD-465: drilling of this 165-meter step-out hole reached a final depth of 410.0 meters. Below the silver intercepts reported earlier in July ( News Release dated July 6, 2026 ), Hole QVD-465 cut a broad gold–copper zone of 0.45 g/t Au and 0.19% Cu over 46.0 meters (from 233.0m), including 1.28 g/t Au over 4.0m (from 258.0m) and 1.71 g/t Au, 2.43% Cu and 100 g/t Ag over 1.0 meter (from 267.0m) . These results suggest a gold-copper component that grows stronger at depth toward the Carmen target.
