Argentex Mining Issues 474,171 Common Shares on Partial Conversion of US$2.3M Convertible Debenture

Argentex Mining Corporation ("Argentex" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:ATX)(OTCQB:AGXMF) is pleased to announce the conversion of an additional
US$130,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Debenture held
by Austral Gold Argentina S.A. In the partial conversion, which was effected on
February 17, 2014 at a conversion price of US$0.274163 per Unit, Argentex issued
474,171 Units, consisting of 474,171 common shares and 237,086 warrants. Each
whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at an
exercise price of CDN$0.40 until July 2, 2018.


Details about the Convertible Debenture and the private placement in which it
was issued were previously disclosed in a press release dated July 3, 2013.


After adjusting for this partial conversion, the principal balance remaining
under the Convertible Debenture is US$130,000, which is anticipated to be repaid
in March of 2014. Under the terms of the Convertible Debenture, this amount can
be repaid only by conversion into additional Units at the conversion price of
US$0.274163 per Unit. These conversions coincide with repayments to Argentex of
principal amounts outstanding under a U.S. dollar linked loan intended to
minimise currency risk. Loan repayments are made in Argentine pesos in amounts
linked to the value of the U.S. dollar at the time of repayment.


None of the securities issued upon the partial conversion have been or will be
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), and none of them may be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of
the Act. These securities are "restricted securities" under the Act and are
subject to a hold period in the United States of at least six months from the
date issued. Subject to certain exceptions, there are additional restrictions on
transfer of these securities described in an Investment Agreement between
Argentex and Austral Gold Limited. The Investment Agreement, together with all
of the other material agreements related to the July 2, 2013 financing, are
available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.


In addition, Argentex announces the departure of Peter Ball to pursue other
opportunities. Peter Ball has resigned as Corporate Secretary and EVP Corporate
Development effective March 1, 2014. The Company wishes him well in his new
endeavors. Jeff Finkelstein, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
will assume the additional responsibility of Corporate Secretary.
