Argyle receives permits for Lac Comporte drilling

Mr. Jeffrey Stevens reports ARGYLE RESOURCES CORP. RECEIVES PERMITS AND BEGINS 3,000 METRE DRILLING PROGRAM AT LAC COMPORTE 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 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 (silicon dioxide), with a high-grade result of 98.52 per cent SiO2 (sample E715925). Jeff Stevens, chief executive officer of Argyle Resources, commented: "Advancing to the drilling stage at Lac Comporte marks a pivotal moment for Argyle. Our summer program reinforced the project's potential, and we're excited to begin testing these targets with a focused 3,000-metre campaign. This milestone reflects our commitment to disciplined exploration and unlocking value in Quebec's emerging silica corridor."
