Oaxaca Update

Following a detailed evaluation of its Oaxacan claims package, Argentum has determined that the prospective area for exploration on its Silacayoapan property is located within the core of the claim. To minimize unnecessary yearly tax expenditures, Argentum has made a formal request to Arco Resources Corp. (“Arco“), the optionor of its land package in Oaxaca, Mexico, to reduce the size of the Silacayoapan claim from 20,788 hectares to 3,475 hectares. Argentum has also provided notice that it wishes to remove the claims comprising the Nino Perdido property from the Company's option agreement with Arco.

Argentum's land team in Oaxaca has also pursued an agreement with the community neighboring its Lachiguiri Project to access the property for drilling. The community has requested the matter be readdressed at a later date. The Company will focus on the exploration program at its Coyote Project as well as a program on the Silacayoapan property while awaiting word from the community at Lachiguiri.
