Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – May 13, 2013) – Argentium Resources Inc. (CNSX: AOK) (“Argentium” or the “Company”) provides its first bi-weekly default status report under National Policy 12-203 – Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults (“NP 12-203”).

On April 29, 2013, the Company announced that the filing of its audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, including the related management discussion and analysis, and CEO and CFO certifications (collectively, the “Annual Financial Filings”) would not be filed by the required filing deadline of April 30, 2013.

As a result of this delay in filing the Annual Financial Filings and the application by the Company for a management cease trade order (a “MCTO”), the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”) issued a MCTO, which imposes certain restrictions on the trading of securities by insiders of the Company until the Company files the Annual Financial Filings. The MCTO will not affect the ability of persons who are not insiders or employees of the Company to trade their securities.

Pursuant to the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set forth in NP 12-203, the Company reports that, since the issuance of its default announcement on April 29, 2013, except as set forth in this default status report, there have not been any material changes to the information contained therein, nor any failure by the Company to fulfill its intentions as stated therein with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines and there are no additional defaults or anticipated defaults subsequent to the disclosure therein, other than the delay in filing the Annual Financial Filings. Further, there is no additional material information respecting the Company and its affairs that has not been generally disclosed.

On May 6, 2013, the Company and Taku Gold Corp. (“Taku”) announced the signing of a binding letter of intent to form a joint venture for the purpose of exploring and developing Argentium’s 17-claim Sill Lake property located in Van Koughnet Township about 30 km north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Subsequent to this announcement, the Company has used a portion of the $50,000 deposit that was paid by Taku to the Company to pay its auditors to complete the audit required in connection with the Annual Financial Filings. The Company continues to anticipate that the audit work will be complete, and that it will be in a position to file the Annual Financial Filings, on or before June 14, 2013.
