Argentina Gold: High-Grade Hole in Northwestern Filo Federico; Further Results From Western Filo Federico, Eastern Filo Federico, Amable and Amable North.VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 15, 1999-- Argentina Gold Corp. (VSE See DOS/VSE. VSE - Virtual Storage Extended :ARP)(the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of Holes 115, 117, 119, 120, 125, 128 and 129 drilled at the Western Filo Federico target and Hole 116 drilled at the Amable target and Hole 118 drilled at Amable North and Hole 123 drilled at the Eastern Filo Federico target. Western Filo Federico Results of Holes 115, 117, 119, 120, 125, 128 and 129 are in the following table. The current reverse circulation drilling being conducted at Western Filo Federico is designed to provide definition of the continuity of mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure.

The results provide further evidence that the two targets may be part of the same deposit and provide a preliminary control of the mineralized min·er·al·ize v. min·er·al·ized, min·er·al·iz·ing, min·er·al·iz·es v.tr. 1.

Holes 115, 117 and 120 showed lower grade gold with some high silver values. Gold grades improved in Holes 119, 125 and 128. -0-
