Argyle Resources Corp Gains Green Light and Initiates Exploration at Matapedia Silica Site

Argyle Resources Corp. has announced it has secured the required permission signatures from private landholders for its Matapedia silica project in Quebec. These approvals are essential for Argyle to proceed with its 2024 exploration program, conducted in partnership with the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS). The exploration activities will include several key components designed to advance the Matapedia silica project:

• Geological Reconnaissance: A comprehensive assessment of the main silica outcrops to evaluate their distribution and characteristics.

•  High-Resolution Drone Imagery: Capturing detailed visual data of the project area using advanced drone technology.

• Thermal Infrared and LIDAR Drone Imagery: Utilizing thermal infrared and LIDAR technology to detect outcropping and sub-outcropping areas within the forested environment.

• High-Resolution Drone Magnetometric Survey: Conducting a magnetometric survey to identify potential zones for further exploration.

•  Geological and Structural Mapping: Mapping geological and structural features while pinpointing potential sampling sites.

• Sampling Work and Overburden Stripping: Conducting sampling activities, including mechanized overburden stripping, transporting samples for laboratory analysis, and geological mapping with channel sampling.

•  Real-Time Kinematic Mapping and Total Station Survey: Completing precise mapping and survey work at sampled sites.

•  Bulk Sample Collection: Collecting bulk samples of quartzite for further study.

Laboratory Assessments: Performing granulometric analysis, geometallurgical studies, and X-ray fluorescence analysis to assess silica quality and potential applications.

INRS technicians have already started geolocating silica outcrops at the Matapedia project site using GPS devices, marking the beginning of the exploration work. “We are thrilled to commence phase 1 of the Matapedia exploration following the successful landholder permissions," said Jeff Stevens, CEO of Argyle Resources Corp. "The INRS-led program will provide crucial insights into the high-grade silica potential at Matapedia. We are confident these efforts will yield valuable data and strengthen the project’s prospects."

Argyle Resources Corp. remains committed to advancing its silica exploration initiatives through innovative methods and strategic partnerships, anticipating positive outcomes from this exploration program and further growth of its silica assets.
