About Argentex:

Argentex Mining Corporation is an exploration company focused on the
discovery of silver, gold and polymetallic deposits on its advanced
late-stage exploration projects in the Patagonia region of southern
Argentina.

In 2011, through an extensive targeted exploration program, Argentex is
focusing primarily on advancing its 100%-controlled Pinguino project,
located in Santa Cruz province.  An early 2011 drill program of
approximately 17,000 meters is underway at Pinguino, where Argentex
plans to drill test the extents of high-grade silver targets discovered
in 2010.  More than 15,000 meters of the proposed 17,000-meter program
have been completed to date.

The new discoveries being drill tested include the Tranquilo and Luna
veins at Pinguino, which returned high-grade results in previous drill
programs, including 6.0 meters of over 2,428 g/t silver and 0.22 g/t
gold and 6.4 meters of 486.6 g/t silver and 1.91 g/t gold. More than 51
individual veins have so far been discovered at Pinguino, with a
combined strike length in excess of 75 line-kilometers.

Argentex's 10,000-hectare Pinguino property is located in Argentina's
Patagonia region, within the Deseado Massif of Santa Cruz province.
Pinguino is easily accessible, situated approximately 400 meters above
sea level in low-relief topography.  An existing system of all-weather
roads provides year-round access to the property.

In total, Argentex owns 100% of the mineral rights to more than 35
projects located within approximately 307,981 acres (124,636 hectares)
of highly prospective land located in the Santa Cruz and Rio Negro
provinces of Argentina. Shares of Argentex common stock trade under the
symbol ATX on the TSX Venture Exchange and on the OTCBB under the
symbol AGXM.

Exploration on the Pinguino property is being conducted under the
supervision of Mr. Kenneth Hicks, P.Geo. Argentex's President and a
'Qualified Person' (QP) as defined by Canada's National Instrument
43-101.
