Executive Summary

  • Argyle Resources Corp. has received necessary permits and commenced its drilling program at the Lac Comporté Silica Project in Quebec.
  • The drilling campaign is planned to comprise up to 3,000 metres of NQ-sized core, targeting high-grade quartzite horizons identified during a previous summer field program.
  • Previous sampling from the targeted horizon returned assays of up to 98.52 per cent SiO2, highlighting the high-grade nature of the deposit.

Key Details

  • Project Location: Lac Comporté Silica Project, Bas-Saint-Laurent region, Quebec, Canada.
  • Drilling Scope: Up to 3,000 metres of NQ-sized core drilling.
  • Target: The most encouraging results from the company's successful summer field program, specifically targeting a kilometric horizon of quartzite.
  • Previous Assay Results: Four samples from the targeted horizon returned assays of up to 98 per cent SiO2.
  • High-Grade Sample: Sample E715925 returned a high-grade result of 98.52 per cent SiO2.
  • Qualified Person: George Yordanov, PGeo, Director, reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information.
  • Analytical Protocols: Samples were delivered to ALS Canada Ltd. in Val d'Or, Que. Preparation included crushing to 95% passing 2mm and pulverizing 1kg to 90% passing 75 micrometres. Assays included lithogeochemistry via XRF (ME-XRF26) and rare-earth/trace elements via four-acid digestion and ICP-MS.
