Argent Minerals Limited (ASX:ARD)

Argent Minerals Limited (ASX: ARD) announced further drilling success at its 100%-owned Kempfield Project in New South Wales, showing that silver-rich polymetallic mineralisation extends beyond and below the current 63.7Mt at 69.75 g/t AgEq Mineral Resource containing 142.8Moz AgEq. The release highlights results from four 2026 diamond holes targeting resource growth around Lodes 100, 200 and 300 and the sparsely drilled Gap area: AKDD217 delivered the standout result with 18.2m at 187.3 g/t Ag from 168m beyond the current Lode 100 resource boundary, within a broader 158.7m mineralised interval from surface; AKDD216 extended Lode 200 at depth with 29.8m at 34.6 g/t Ag from 60m and 3.9m at 70.4 g/t Ag from 42.3m including 1.4m at 154.0 g/t Ag; AKDD215 confirmed polymetallic mineralisation in the Gap between Lodes 100 and 300 with 25m from 63m including 9m at 6.0 g/t Ag, 1.04% Pb, 2.28% Zn and 0.25 g/t Au; and AKDD219 confirmed multiple mineralised zones in an under-drilled part of Lode 200 including 21.5m at 18.9 g/t Ag, 0.70% Pb and 0.80% Zn from 127m. Argent said these results strengthen the case for future resource growth, with mineralisation remaining open along strike and at depth, five more drill hole assays pending, and further drilling planned through the remainder of 2026.
