ARGYLE RESOURCES CORP. RECEIVES PERMITS AND BEGINS DRILLING PROGRAM AT LAC COMPORTÉ SILICA PROJECT, QUEBEC
Following completion of the permitting process, Argyle Resources Corp. is now in position to start the drilling program at Lac Comporte silica project, located in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, Canada.
The drilling campaign will comprise up to 3,000 metres of NQ-sized core, specifically targeting the most encouraging results from the company's successful summer field program. This summer effort, which involved comprehensive mapping and prospecting, defined a kilometric horizon of quartzite. Four samples from this horizon returned assays of up to 98 per cent SiO2, with a high-grade result of 98.52 per cent SiO2 (sample E715925).
Jeff Stevens, chief executive officer of Argyle Resources, commented: "We are pleased to share that all permits are in place and mobilization of the rigs has commenced. This milestone reflects our commitment to disciplined exploration and unlocking value in Quebec's emerging silica corridor."
