Vancouver, B.C., March 07, 2011 - Argus Metals Corp.

Covering over 60 square kilometres of a district scale porphyry system, the Iron Mountain claims host gold, tungsten and iron/magnetite targets.

Under the terms of the cooperative agreement between the Company and DVC, Argus has an initial 65% interest in the property which can be increased to 90% through US$1 million in expenditures. At that time DVC will have a 90 day option to decide to participate in ongoing expenditures or be diluted down to a 2% NSR of which may be acquired for US$1million per 50% of the NSR.

Historic work on the Iron Mountain Project has returned significant results for gold, silver, tungsten, zinc, lead and iron/magnetite skarns. In specific, gold is found associated with both mesothermal vein systems and with iron/gold skarns. Summarized historical data* is detailed below.


*This work was not supervised by a qualified person or third party and the work will have to be verified by the Company.

An initial work program is planned for the end of rainy season in March/April 2011 and will focus on quantifying and prioritizing gold exploration targets. Community agreements in support of Argus' 2011 exploration program were registered with the Peruvian government in December of 2010 and the formal lease permits issued on January 15, 2011.

President Michael Collins comments, "Argus is pleased to be working with DVC in Peru on the Iron Mountain Project. The Company expects that this project will be successful in defining high grade gold targets and believes in the potential for several similar projects with our local partner DVC as Argus continues to focus on driving shareholder value through identifying and exploring gold projects."
