Argentum Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ASL) has received assay results from the
first 3 diamond drill holes of the 17-hole Phase II step-out program at its
Coyote silver property located in Jalisco, Mexico. To date, the El Tajo
high-grade silver vein system has been tested over a 600 metre strike length.
The results reported below targeted the El Tajo vein on a 50 metre drill center
pattern. The El Tajo vein was intercepted at depths ranging from 50 to 120
metres vertically below surface. A shallower vein in the hanging wall or Upper
vein was also intersected while targeting the El Tajo vein. 


Results from the first 3 diamond drill holes are as follows:

Warren McIntyre, President of Argentum Silver stated, "We are encouraged by the
results of the first three step-out holes in the historic El Tajo mine area. The
Coyote Project and specifically the El Tajo vein system is demonstrating the
potential to become the marquis asset of the Company. These drill holes are the
first drill holes completed at El Tajo to establish a third dimension and where
we have only drill-tested to approximately a 120 metre vertical depth from
surface. Further step-out holes are warranted to define the extent of the
mineralization to depth, and the system remains open to the north-east and
south-west."


In total, the Phase II drill program comprised seventeen core holes totaling
2,164 metres. The remaining holes awaiting assay results include 11 more holes
on the El Tajo vein and 3 scout holes on portions of La Colorada mineralized
zone, which will be reported once received. Collectively in the Phase I and II
drill programs, the El Tajo and La Colorada veins have been traced for over a
1,100 metre strike length at surface.


The 1053-hectare Coyote property contains dozens of individual low sulfidation
epithermal silver-gold veins and stockworking. Most of the mineralization occurs
within seven defined zones within an area of approximately 1.5 by 2.6
kilometres. Vein widths typically range from 1 to over 5 metres. Zones of
stockworking have locally been surface mapped over widths exceeding 35 metres.
The Coyote project is located near the town of Chilicayote, within the state of
Jalisco, Mexico. Road access and infrastructure are excellent. The property is
approximately 150 linear kilometres southwest of the capital city of
Guadalajara, roughly a 3 1/2 hour drive. Topography is generally gentle to
moderate. A regional electrical power line crosses the property.


Assaying from this program was completed by ALS Chemex through their office in
Guadalajara, Mexico. Analytical procedures include a 33 element ICP-AES analysis
(ME-ICP61m) and a 50 g FA AA finish for gold (AA-24). Silver assays exceeding
100 g/t are re-assayed by HCL leach with an ICP-AES or AAS finish (OG62). Paul
Cowley, P.Geo. and the Company's Senior Geological Consultant and Advisor, and a
Qualified Person under NI 43-101 has designed and supervised the program, and
reviewed and approved the contents of this press release.
