Argyle Resources Corp. is pleased to report results from its 2025 prospecting and sampling campaign at the Company’s 100% owned Saint Gabriel Project (the “Project”), located approximately 42 km east of Rimouski on Québec’s Gaspé Peninsula.
The four-day field program was completed in the fall of 2025, and the samples were sent to a third-party lab for analysis. The program was designed to evaluate silica bearing outcrops, confirm known high-grade occurrences, and identify additional prospective areas within the claim block.
Sampling targeted quartz rich lithologies including arenite, quartz arenite, quartzite, and quartz interbedded siltstone, with silica values generally ranging from the high 96% to greater than 99% SiO₂, depending on location and host lithology.
The newly identified high purity silica zone located approximately 800 metres west of the Lac Rigo Showing returned a strong cluster of high-grade results across multiple sample sites, including 99.2% SiO₂ from Sample 11, 99.5% SiO₂ from Sample 13, and 99.7% SiO₂ from Sample 14. These results confirm the presence of high purity silica mineralisation outside the historically recognised Lac Rigo Showing area and support the potential for an additional high-grade zone within the Saint Gabriel Project. The western zone is considered a priority target for expanded follow up work aimed at defining continuity, lateral extent, and the overall scale of high purity silica mineralisation within this new discovery area.
“These results reinforce the high purity silica potential at Saint Gabriel, with multiple samples returning greater than 99% SiO₂, including a peak value of 99.9% SiO₂ near Lac Rigo,” said Jeffrey Stevens, President and CEO of Argyle Resources. “Importantly, the identification of additional high-grade material in a previously unexplored area west of Lac Rigo strengthens our confidence that Saint Gabriel may host more than one high quality silica zone, and we look forward to advancing targeted follow up work to better define continuity and scale.”
