Argyle Resources Announces Completion of Exploration Program at Lac Comport茅 Silica Project
- Successful identification of three high-priority silica target zones with significant potential
- Strong infrastructure access and high-quality surface outcrops present
- Large exploration potential with 18 km fold axis containing quartzite-rich formation
- High concentration of pure quartzite outcrops (62 outcrops with >90% SiO2)
- Laboratory assay results still pending and not yet available
- Structural complexities identified require additional geological mapping
- Discontinuous nature of quartzite in Target 2 may present challenges
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 19, 2025) - Argyle Resources Corp. (CSE: ARGL) (OTCQB: ARLYF) (FSE: ME0) ("Argyle" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of its 2025 field exploration program at the Lac Comporté silica project, located approximately 20 km northeast of La Malbaie in Charlevoix-Est, Québec.
The 10-day prospecting campaign, focused on identifying high-purity quartzite units within the Manoir Richelieu Formation, which is known to host high-grade silica mineralization. The field program resulted in the collection of 172 rock samples and detailed geological descriptions from 261 stations, including 99 quartzite outcrops.
Program Highlights:
172 samples collected, with 6 QAQC samples (standards and blanks)
261 geological stations described, including:
62 outcrops of "pure" quartzite (>
90% SiO₂)37 outcrops of "impure" quartzite (60
-90% SiO₂)
Three high-priority target zones delineated, each showing significant potential for high-purity silica:
Target 1: Fold nose structure with quartzite outcropping continuously over 80-150 meters
Target 2: Over 1 km of discontinuous quartzite along accessible forestry trail
Target 3: Horizontal stepped walls of very pure quartzite up to 80 meters thick

"Initial field results are highly encouraging and validate the geological potential of Lac Comporté as a silica-rich project," said Jeff Stevens, CEO of Argyle Resources. "With strong access infrastructure, high-quality surface outcrops, and visible continuity across our target zones, we're well-positioned to advance this asset forward."
Next Steps
Pending laboratory assay results, Argyle intends to initiate a focused stripping and channel sampling program on the most promising outcrops to better assess silica purity and homogeneity across the target areas. Structural complexities identified in the field will also be further studied through additional geological mapping to refine future drilling targets.
The quartzite-rich Manoir Richelieu Formation within Argyle's claims extends along an 18 km fold axis, offering substantial exploration upside across the broader project area.
