Argyle Resources Corp. (CSE: ARGL) (OTCQB: ARLYF) announces that its partner, Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS), has begun detailed geological mapping and sampling of outcrop silica structures at the Matapedia Silica project in Quebec. This work is important for understanding the regional geology of Argyle's 912-hectare silica district in St. Moise. The company has acquired an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer for real-time silica quality assessments and will use a Gamma Radiation Spectrometer (GRS) to measure potassium levels. A portable colorimeter will quantify quartzite reflectance properties. These initiatives support Argyle's recently announced pilot plant program, featuring mobile crushing, grinding, and sorting equipment for processing silica samples across their Quebec properties.
Argyle Resources Corp. (CSE: ARGL) (OTCQB: ARLYF) has initiated an exploration program at its Frenchvale Graphite Property in Nova Scotia. The program begins with line cutting for an upcoming Induced Polarization (IP) survey, designed to identify domestic Canadian-sourced natural graphite. This move is significant due to China's ban on natural graphite exports in 2023, which has heightened the importance of securing alternative graphite sources.
The IP survey will cover an 800-meter trend of marble-hosted graphite, with lines 1.2 kilometers long and 100 meters apart. It aims to trace silicious marble units and graphitic horizons within the marble, guiding future drill programs. The survey is expected to start around September 7th and last 10-14 days. Following the IP survey, Argyle plans to commence a drill program by the end of September.
Argyle Resources Corp. (CSE: ARGL) (OTCQB: ARLYF) (FSE: ME0) has successfully upgraded from the OTC Pink Market to the OTCQB Venture Market, commencing trading on September 3rd, 2024.
