Argentum Provides Corporate Update
Vancouver, BC -- October 27, 2017 -- Argentum Silver Corp. ("Argentum" or the "Company") (ASL- TSX-V) is pleased to announce that it has commenced planning stages for an exploration program on its Butt Township Property in northeastern Ontario. The Company plans to follow up on the results of ground magnetometer and induced polarization surveys carried out by previous owners in 2011. The exploration plan consists of geological mapping, prospecting and sampling to determine the location of radioactive pegmatites and various lithologies on the property and their relationship to the magnetic and chargeability patterns. The Property was acquired for its potential for uranium and rare earth mineralization hosted in pegmatite dykes. The Company signed an option to earn 100% interest in the property (see July 4, 2017 press release for details).

The Company also announces the signing of a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") dated October 15, 2017, between Argentum and 2592391 Ontario Inc. (the "Buyer"), an Ontario-based company. The Agreement provides for the Buyer to purchase all of Argentum's shares in both of its Mexican subsidiaries, Plata de Argentum and Predilecta Exploration, along with the respective principal amounts of debt due and owing by each of the subsidiaries to Argentum. For a nominal price, the Buyer will purchase all of the Company's shares in the two Mexican subsidiaries and will assume all of the subsidiary debt. The sale will enable the Company to substantially diminish the financial liabilities it holds as a result of its ownership in the Mexican subsidiaries.

The Company is currently reviewing several precious metal mining and exploration opportunities, including its Butt Township Property, in mining-friendly jurisdictions in North and South America. The Company's management has undertaken extensive due diligence on these opportunities and will provide further updates on these developments as they occur.
