Argyle Resources Corp Announces
Engagement of Stronghold Mining Services for
Phase 1 Exploration at Saint Gabriel Silica
Project in Quebec
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 27, 2025) - Argyle Resources Corp. (CSE: ARGL) (OTCQB:
ARLYF) (FSE: ME0) ("Argyle" or the "Company")") is pleased to announce the engagement of
Stronghold Mining Services to carry out the Phase 1 exploration program at the Company's newly
acquired Saint Gabriel Silica Project, located in Québec, Canada. The Phase 1 exploration will focus on
advancing the understanding of the potential of the project and identifying targets for a potential future
phase 2 drill program at Saint Gabriel.
Stronghold Mining Services will oversee and execute phase 1 which will include comprehensive site
visits and prospecting activities. Key tasks for this phase of exploration will include:
XRF Analysis
: Stronghold will perform X-ray fluorescence ("
XRF
") analysis at sampling locations
to assess the purity of the silica and record detailed data on its grade.
GIS-Based Purity Mapping
: The team will develop a GIS-based preliminary purity indication
map, using data from the XRF analysis, to visualize the distribution of silica purity across the
project area.
Prospecting & Chip Sample Collection
: The exploration team will conduct detailed prospecting
and collect chip samples to better understand the geology and potential of the silica deposit.
Bulk Sample Extraction
: Bulk samples weighing 150 lbs each will be extracted from target zones
within the project area. These samples will undergo detailed testing to assess silica grade and
impurities.
Refining Purity Maps
: Field and lab data will be integrated to refine the purity maps and highlight
high-purity zones that have potential for further development.
Once the field activities are complete, a comprehensive report will be delivered, covering the results
from the fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and specific recommendations for advancing to Phase 2
exploration.

"We are thrilled to begin this important Phase 1 exploration program at the Saint Gabriel Silica Project
with the support of Stronghold Mining Services," said Jeff Stevens, CEO of Argyle Resources Corp.
"The data gathered during this program will be crucial for identifying high-purity silica zones and guiding
our future exploration efforts. We are committed to advancing the project in a responsible and efficient
manner to unlock its full potential."
The Phase 1 exploration program is expected to begin imminently and will include a variety of field
activities to assess the geological and environmental conditions at the site. The data gathered from this
phase will help guide future exploration and development activities aimed at defining the resource and
advancing the project toward production.
Proximity to Argyle's Matapedia Project and Utilization of Pilot Plant Facility
The Saint Gabriel Silica Project is located in close proximity to Argyle's Matapédia Project, which offers
significant logistical and operational efficiencies. The proximity of these two projects enables the
Company to streamline exploration activities, reduce operational costs, and maximize resource
development. Additionally, Argyle's pilot plant facility, currently being utilized by the Institut National de la
Recherche Scientifique ("
INRS
") for other Argyle projects in Québec, will be available for processing
materials from the Saint Gabriel Silica Project. This facility further enhances the efficiency and cost-
effectiveness of Argyle's operations in the region.
