FOR: ARGENTINA GOLD CORP. VSE SYMBOL: ARP MARCH 25, 1999 Argentina Gold: Hole 135 - Highest Grade Hole Drilled To Date At Filo Federico; 197m of 5g/t Gold incl. 41m of 13.7g/t Gold; Significant Expansion of High Grade Zone at Filo Federico VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--Argentina Gold Corp. (the "Company") is pleased to announce the results from Holes 135 and DDF1 drilled at the Western Filo Federico target. Western Filo Federico - high grade east-west corridor opened up Hole 135 returned a long, high grade, open-ended intercept at the northeast sector of the Western Filo Federico target. This hole is part of an east-west corridor comprising Holes 129, 121, 72, 58, 112 and 68 that all contain high grade intersections. The drilling this season has rapidly expanded the possible starter pit zone of Western Filo Federico and drilling continues, testing for further expansion. Linkage between the NW target and Western Filo Federico has been confirmed by drilling and further drilling in this area will define the continuity of the mineralization between these two targets. /T/ Hole Total Int- From To Gold Silver Gold Azimuth Co- Depth erval(m) (m) (g/t) (g/t) Equiv.
