03.10.2011 | Marketwired
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - Oct. 3, 2011) - Argentum Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE: ASL) ("Argentum" or the "Company") wishes to clarify the announcement distributed by Stockwatch on September 16, 2011, referring to the early warning report filed the same day by a shareholder of Argentum. Argentum would like to clarify that this was not an official news release by Argentum, but rather an early warning report filed by the shareholder pertaining to securities acquired in Argentum's private placement in February of 2011. Argentum's last private placement, consisting of units priced at $0.35 each, was completed in June of 2011 for gross proceeds of $4,155,915. Argentum has not announced or completed any private placements since June, nor is it currently contemplating a private placement.Warren McIntyre, CEO of Argentum, stated, "The announcement by Stockwatch did not specify that the securities in question were purchased in February of 2011. It appears that the market may have read the Stockwatch announcement to say that 1.5 million units of Argentum were recently acquired at $0.11, which is not the case."
Mr. McIntyre went on to say, "Argentum is currently well capitalized and continuing the exploration of our properties in Oaxaca, as well as our recently acquired properties in Jalisco, Mexico, and we are excited by the opportunities that they represent. We are currently awaiting results from recent channel sampling on the Coyote and Victoria properties, which will assist our exploration team in setting targets for our future drilling programs. We are also in negotiations with various drilling companies regarding these upcoming programs."
