ASL Argentum Silver Corp

Argentum Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ASL) ("Argentum" or the "Company") has
commenced a second phase drilling program at its 1053-hectare Coyote Property in
the State of Jalisco, Mexico. The second phase diamond drill program is aimed at
demonstrating grade and thickness continuity on the El Tajo vein as well as some
scout drilling on the La Colorada and La Valenciana veins. Sixteen drill holes
are planned totaling 2,000 metres. Combined, the El Tajo and La Colorada veins
have been traced for over a 900 metre strike length on surface. In addition, a
new vein system called La Valenciana has been defined approximately 750 metres
to the south-west of El Tajo. The La Valenciana vein system is traceable on
surface for over 450 metres as a series of exposures and underground workings
supported by trenching, geophysics, and soil and rock sampling.


Earlier in 2012, twelve holes were drilled on the El Tajo vein, returning
highlights of 2.0 metres of 2,745 g/t Ag and 2.4 meters of 900 g/t Ag, including
1.2 metres of 1,645 g/t Ag. Warren McIntyre, President and CEO of Argentum
stated: "The first eleven drill holes of this new program will further test the
El Tajo vein and are the next stage in working towards building a future
resource at Coyote. The Company is focused on developing shareholder value in
its portfolio of properties, with Coyote being our primary focus for the
remainder of 2012."


The program is being supervised by Paul Cowley, P.Geo., the Company's Senior
Geological Consultant and Advisor and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
Results will be released after being received and interpreted by the Company.


Complete highlights from the previous drilling on Coyote are available in our
news releases dated February 29, 2012, March 6, 2012, June 11, 2012 and July 11,
2012.


About the Coyote Property

The 1053-hectare Coyote property contains dozens of individual low sulfidation
epithermal silver-gold veins and stockworks. Most of the mineralization occurs
within six defined zones within an area of approximately 1.5 x 2.6 kilometres.
Vein widths typically range from 1 to over 5 metres. Local areas of stockworks
can exceed 35 metres wide. Over 100 historic workings and prospects explored and
partially developed the district through the early 1900s. Historic production
concentrated on "bonanza" silver grades with operational depth limitations to
the high water table.
