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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
