Argentex to display Pinguino drill core at Argentinas premier mining conference

Monday, August 25th 2008

Argentex Mining Corporation announce that it plans to exhibit core samples from its polymetallic Pinguino property at Argentina Mining 2008. The conference is one of the country’s premier mining events and takes place in Mendoza, Argentina from August 26-28, 2008.

Argentex recently completed the fieldwork portion of the company’s largest-ever exploration program, which included more than 20,000 meters (65,616 feet) of new HQ diamond drilling completed during the 2007-2008 season. Pinguino is one of the most prominent advanced exploration projects in Patagonia and contains a unique discovery of base metal, precious metal and indium within a single property.

A high-value strategic metal, indium is a significant component of thin-film flat panel displays and CIGS (copper-indium-gallium-deselenide) solar cells, an increasingly popular application within the potentially huge green-energy market. CIGS solar cells are substantially cheaper than those made using silicon, and can be produced in light-weight, physically flexible formats – making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Argentina Mining 2008 is a biennial event that showcases the latest advancements of major and junior mining and exploration companies working in Argentina. Additional information about the conference is available at www.argentinamining.com.
