	    MONTREAL, March 1 /CNW Telbec/ - Argex Silver Capital Inc. (TSX-V:RGX)
("Argex" or the "Company") reports drilling has successfully intersected
titaniferous magnetite at the La Blache property, West Hervieux occurrence.
Massive titaniferous magnetite was intersected in eight of the ten drill holes
completed to date. The widest massive titaniferous magnetite intersection to
date was 161.25 m in hole HW-10-001. All results are drill intersections along
the length of the core and may not be representative of the true thickness.

	    Drilling on the La Blache Properties has now seen 10 holes totalling 1452
metres completed at the West Hervieux occurrence. A total of 6000m is
currently planned for the West Hervieux occurrence. Once drilling is complete
on the West Hervieux Occurrence, a 7000m drill program is planned to commence
on the East Hervieux occurrence, located approximately 2 km east and 1.25 km
north of the West Hervieux Occurrence.

	    These first holes are designed to determine the geometry of the deposit
and better refine the remaining drillholes planned for the West Hervieux
occurrence which explains the variation in thickness of mineralized zone.
Titaniferous Magnetite was encountered in all holes in the current campaign
with the exception of hole HW-10-005 and HW-10-010. Samples are currently out
for analysis and once results have been received by the Company, a drilling
update with these results will be issued..
	    Photos of the drill core for hole HW-10-001 as well as geological
sections will be posted on the Company's website shortly (www.argex.ca).
	    Below is exerts from the December 4, 2008 NI 43-101 Technical Report
covering the Mouchalagane and La Blache Properties. This report is available
for review at www.sedar.com under the company profile for Argex Silver Capital
Inc., and filed on April 15, 2009, as well as at www.argex.ca.
	    "In 1954, three claim blocks held by the Bersimis Mining were visited by
the Ressources naturelles et de la Faune du Québec (MNRFQ) (GM03107). The
MRNFQ published a report and map jointly with Bersimis Mining that located and
described the East Hervieux and West Hervieux occurrences (RP374) revealing
the presence of medium to coarse grained magnetite in anorthosite. According
to estimates made by Bersimis Mining at the time "these deposits contained
135,000,000 tons of ore up to a depth of 300 feet. It is reported that the
average content of the ore is of 49 percent iron and 21 percent of TiO2." This
estimate is historical in nature, non-compliant to NI 43-101 Mineral Resources
and Mineral Reserves, and therefore should not be relied upon, but should only
be considered as an indication of the iron-titanium mineral potential and not
necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the La Blache Property.
	    The drill program was planned and is being supervised by Jean-Sébastien
Lavallée, P.Geo, Vice-Président Exploration, Consul-Teck Exploration Inc., of
Val d'or, Québec, Argex's Silver Capital Inc. consulting geologist, as well as
reviewing and approving this release. The drilling is being completed Major
Drilling Group International Inc, with crews being based out of the Val d'or,
Québec office.
