Argyle Resources Completes IP Surveying at
the Frenchvale Graphite Property, Nova Scotia
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 24, 2024) -
Argyle Resources Corp.
(CSE: ARGL)
(OTCQB: ARLYF) (FSE: ME0)
("
Argyle"
or the
"Company
") is pleased to announce completion of an
Induced Polarization ("
IP
") geophysical survey at its Frenchvale Graphite Property (the "
Property
") in
Nova Scotia. The IP survey was conducted over an area of historic drilling which has identified an 800-
meter trend of marble-hosted graphite, extending to over one kilometer with surface mapping. Results of
the 13.5-line-kilometer IP survey are being finalized by the Company's consulting geophysicist and are
expected within one week.
The Company's consulting geophysicist designed the IP survey which used a dipole-dipole array with
eight potential 25 metre-wide dipoles. This configuration is expected to provide good resolution of near-
surface geology while contrasting highly-resistive silicious marble horizons with highly-conductive
graphitic zones in the marble.
Preliminary IP results show a 900-meter wide zone of very high chargeability responses, oriented
northeast-southwest (Figure 1). These strong IP anomalies are weakly to strongly conductive, suggesting
several sub-parallel mineralized horizons. The historical drill holes fall into this large and strong IP zone
but the new survey also highlights many untested areas of interest with stronger IP responses.
The final geophysical survey report will include 3D numerical inversions. Results will be combined with
compiled historical Property data to direct an upcoming drill program that will target graphite-rich
horizons within the marble. Drilling notifications have been submitted to government agencies with
approvals expected within one week. A drill contractor has been selected and is available to commence
drilling by the end of September.

Argyle believes the 2023 ban on the exportation of natural graphite from China has heightened the
importance of identifying domestic sources of natural graphite. The mineral is now considered critical in
many jurisdictions including the United States, Canada, and Nova Scotia owing to its crucial role as a
component of batteries and fuel cells. The Company is strategizing around this increasing demand while
aiming to contribute to supply chain stability and economic growth.
