Pinguino
Santa Cruz, Argentina

Argentex's 10,000-hectare Pinguino property is located in Argentina's Patagonia region, within the Deseado Massif of Santa Cruz province. The Deseado Massif is an active region of mining with four precious metal mines currently in production, and includes multiple active advanced and early stage exploration projects.

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.  Argentex believes that recent high-grade precious metal discoveries within newly tested structures of the district scale vein system at Pinguino show potential for the development of a significant silver-gold resource.

Argentex’s exploration projects are located in Argentina, a politically stable mining friendly jurisdiction. Santa Cruz province is one of the most mining friendly provinces in Argentina.
