As silver prices reset higher, Argenta Silver (TSXV: AGAG) is advancing a large, high-grade “pure silver” system in Argentina with a 2026 drill plan aimed at expanding a resource that already sits near 50 million ounces.
President and CEO Joaquín Marias joined us at the Red Cloud Pre-PDAC 2026 Mining Showcase to explain why he believes silver’s underlying fundamentals have not changed, even after a sharp move and a correction, and why supply-demand dynamics could keep prices elevated.
Argenta’s El Quevar project was drilled heavily by a prior operator between 2008 and 2013, totaling roughly 100,000 meters and defining about 45 million ounces indicated at 482 g/t silver plus about 4 million ounces inferred at 417 g/t silver. Marias says only about 3% of the property has been explored, leaving 97% still open. Argenta plans to allocate roughly 40% of capital to resource expansion and 60% to broader exploration across about 60 square kilometres, including Kavar South and El Quevar North.
For 2026, the company expects to drill 45,000 meters, including a 25,000-meter summer program running from November through April or May, alongside upcoming geophysics and new metallurgical test work.
