ARGO ACQUIRES ADDITIONAL MINERAL CLAIMS AT THE HURDMAN SILVER-ZINC PROJECT

Argo Gold Inc. recently acquired through staking an additional 35 square kilometres at the Hurdman silver-zinc project, located 120 km north of Timmins, Ont., and now holds 60 square kilometres covering the known silver-zinc mineralization, as well as structural and geophysical targets that are considered prospective for additional silver and zinc mineralization.

The Hurdman silver-zinc mineralization occurs 450 metres along strike as silver-zinc-rich semi-massive to massive sulphides, dipping 15 to 25 degrees north, within 150 metres of surface. Historical drill widths vary from one to 38 metres in true thickness and the mineralization remains open in all directions. One significant drill intercept is 3.0 per cent zinc and 12.1 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag) over 23.6 metres. There are also significant gold intercepts, including 48.7 g/t gold (Au) over 0.5 metres and 2.5 g/t Au over 4.1 metres. Hurdman occurs at the juncture of the Quetico metasedimentary belt and the Kapuskasing structural zone, where there are numerous untested conductors and structural corridors that may host additional mineralization.
