- Argyle Resources Corp. (ARLYF, Financial) completed a 10-day exploration at Lac Comporté silica project in Québec.
- The program identified three high-priority target zones with significant high-purity silica potential.
- 172 rock samples collected, with notable quartzite formations over 18 km fold axis in Manoir Richelieu Formation.
Argyle Resources Corp. (ARLYF) has successfully concluded its 2025 field exploration program at the Lac Comporté silica project, strategically located approximately 20 km northeast of La Malbaie in Charlevoix-Est, Québec. During the 10-day prospecting campaign, the company focused on identifying high-purity quartzite units within the Manoir Richelieu Formation, which is renowned for hosting high-grade silica mineralization.
The exploration program resulted in the collection of 172 rock samples and detailed geological descriptions from 261 stations, including 62 outcrops of quartzite with more than 90% SiO2 purity. The program successfully delineated three high-priority target zones:
Target 1 features continuous quartzite outcrops ranging from 80 to 150 meters. Target 2 boasts over 1 km of discontinuous quartzite along accessible forestry trails. Target 3 has horizontal stepped walls of very pure quartzite up to 80 meters thick, highlighting the substantial potential for high-purity silica at these sites.
The Manoir Richelieu Formation, within Argyle's claims, extends along an 18 km fold axis, providing a significant exploration upside across the broader project area. Argyle plans to initiate stripping and channel sampling programs on promising outcrops once laboratory assay results are received. Additionally, the company intends to conduct further geological mapping to address structural complexities observed during the fieldwork and refine future drilling targets.
Argyle Resources Corp., a junior mineral exploration company, is actively engaged in acquiring, exploring, staking, and evaluating natural resource properties across North America. The company also holds interests in several other promising projects in Québec and Ontario, focused on quartzite, rare earth elements, and graphite.
