• Drillhole AKDD213 intersected 159.1m @ 80.6 g/t Ag Eq, extending known mineralisation by 100 vertical metres
• Multiple high-grade shoots were intersected, including 18.2m @ 145.3 g/t AgEq, providing vectors for further depth extensions
• The broader intercept grade is consistent with the Lode 100 Mineral Resource Estimate, confirming the resource model and supporting the bulk-tonnage potential

Argent Minerals Limited (ASX: ARD) has continued to demonstrate the scale, continuity and resource growth potential of its 100%-owned Kempfield Polymetallic Project in New South Wales following another silver-rich drilling result from the Lode 100 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) Zone. Drillhole AKDD213 intersected a continuous 159.1m zone of silver-rich polymetallic mineralisation with solid baseline values (80.6 g/t Ag Eq) from surface, delivering a compelling combination of scale and grade and in line with previous grades of the Lode 100 MRE (averaging 81.1 g/t AgEq). Multiple higher-grade shoots were intersected within this broad envelope, including intervals exceeding 80-129.3 g/t Ag Eq and standout base metal enrichment up to 3.45% Pb + Zn, indicating clear evidence of a robust and well-developed system. The exceptional thickness of this interval suggests strong bulk tonnage potential, indicating that the system may be amenable to large-scale bulk mining scenarios. The mineralisation is hosted within the same interbedded sandstone/siltstone/greywacke sequence that hosts the main Kempfield MRE, with the mineralised geometry interpreted as a west-dipping ore-bearing zone hosted predominantly within a barite-rich greywacke unit. Importantly, the interpreted lode geometry remains open both down-plunge and along strike, with the deeper high-grade silver-polymetallic and gold intercepts providing compelling vectors for continued drilling below the current section.
