Argyle Resources Provides Update on Matapedia Silica Project Developments and Upcoming Exploration Plans
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 9, 2024) - Argyle Resources Corp. (CSE: ARGL) (OTCQB: ARLYF) (FSE: ME0) ("Argyle" or the "Company") is pleased to update shareholders on developments regarding the Matapedia silica project in Quebec. Following work on compiling and interpreting aeromagnetic and Lidar data, the Company, in partnership with the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique ("INRS") identified areas of interest with high silica potential. Field work subsequently confirmed Professor Richer-LaFlèche's exploration strategy by identifying five initial quartzite outcrop areas on the Matapedia property that will serve as the first targets for exploration. These locations were selected for their accessibility, which is expected to allow for more efficient operations. While other silica outcrops exist within the property and have been visually identified in the reconnaissance mission executed by an INRS geologist in July 2024 and later in August and September, they are not the target for the first pass exploration. The Company notes that, beginning October 5, 2024, there is a one-month restriction on access to a large section of the Matapedia project for the annual hunting season. The Company's exploration activities will recommence immediately after the hunting season ends.
加拿大艾伯塔省卡爾加里-(Newsfile 版權所有-2024年10月9日)-阿蓋爾資源公司(CSE: ARGL)(OTCQB: ARLYF)(FSE: ME0)("阿蓋爾"或"公司")很高興向股東們更新魁北克Matapedia硅項目的最新進展。在整理和解釋航磁和激光雷達數據方面的工作之後,公司與國家研究科學研究所("INRS")合作,確定了具有高硅潛力的感興趣區域。隨後的現場工作證實了理查-拉芬什教授的探礦策略,通過確定馬塔佩迪亞物業上的五個初始石英岩露頭區,這將作爲勘探的第一目標。選擇這些地點是因爲它們易於進入,預計將能夠實現更高效的操作。雖然物業內存在其他硅露頭,並且已經在2024年7月由INRS地質學家執行的偵察任務中被目測確認,並在8月和9月進行了確認,但它們不是首次勘探的目標。公司指出,從2024年10月5日開始,麻塔佩迪亞項目的一個大區域將因爲每年的狩獵季節而被限制一個月。公司的勘探活動將在狩獵季結束後立即恢復。

The continued exploration program will include outcrop geophysical radiometric gamma ray and magnetic susceptibility measurements, SWIR (shortwave infrared)-NIR reflectance and high precision colorimetric measurements. Following these assessments, diamond saws will be employed for a grooving and channel sampling program on the silica outcrops. To enhance the Company's analytical capabilities, Argyle has acquired an X-ray fluorescence ("XRF") gun that will enable real-time analysis of silica samples and prioritization of sampling sites. This equipment will provide crucial data on silica purity and identify potential contaminants such a Fe2O3, Al2O3, K20, MgO, CaO and TiO2. As the exploration program progresses, the Company intends to provide further disclosure regarding Si02 values detected with the XRF gun and quantitative chemical analysis from Actlabs (Ancaster, On).
持續的勘探計劃將包括露頭地質輻射伽馬射線和磁化率測量、SWIR(短波紅外)-NIR反射和高精度色度測量。在進行這些評估之後,金剛石鋸將被用於對硅露頭進行凹槽和通道取樣計劃。爲增強公司的分析能力,阿蓋爾已經收購了一臺X射線熒光("XRF")槍,這將使硅樣品的實時分析和取樣地點的優先級別成爲可能。該設備將提供關鍵的關於硅純度的數據,並識別潛在的污染物,如Fe2O3、Al2O3、K20、MgO、CaO和TiO2。隨着勘探計劃的推進,公司打算進一步披露使用XRF槍檢測到的SiO2值以及Actlabs(Ancaster,On)進行的定量化學分析。
Additionally, the samples will be transported to the Company's pilot plant facility in St-Lambert-de-Lauzon (see news release dated August 30, 2024), where the samples will undergo processing of crushing, grinding and granulometric classification. The resulting product will be compared to industrial silica specifications to determine its suitability for various industrial and high technology applications such as solar panel manufacturing, semiconductor chip manufacturing for artificial intelligence applications and EV battery manufacturing.
此外,樣本將被運送到位於St-Lambert-de-Lauzon的公司試驗工廠(請參閱2024年8月30日的新聞稿),在那裏樣本將經過碎、磨和顆粒級分類等處理。所得產品將與工業硅的規格進行比較,以判斷其適用於各種工業和高科技應用,例如太陽能面板製造、人工智能應用的半導體芯片製造和電動汽車電池製造。
The Company is in discussions with another university research group and end users of high grade silica with the intent on sharing samples for their independent analysis and potential off-take partnerships.
公司正在與另一所大學研究團隊及高純度硅的最終用戶進行討論,旨在分享樣本以供獨立分析和潛在的合作伙伴關係。
The Company is committed to advancing its silica projects and believe these initial steps will lay a strong foundation for further exploration and development. We will continue to keep our shareholders informed as we progress.
公司致力於推進其硅項目,並相信這些初始步驟將爲進一步的勘探和開發奠定堅實基礎。隨着我們的進展,我們將繼續向股東保持信息透明。
