Argyle Resources Completes Phase I Drill Program at the Frenchvale Graphite Property, Nova Scotia

15.10.2024  |  Newsfile

Calgary, October 15, 2024 - Argyle Resources Corp. (CSE: ARGL) (OTCQB: ARLYF) (FSE: ME0) ("Argyle" or the "Company") is pleased to announce completion of Phase I diamond drilling at its Frenchvale Graphite Property (the "Property") in Nova Scotia. The drilling targeted an 800-metre trend of marble-hosted graphite and was designed to validate drilled intercepts from select historic drill holes performed in 2008 and 2010, as well as drill-test priority flake graphite targets from recent IP surveying as detailed in our September 24, 2024 news release.

A total of 425 metres of drilling was completed across four holes, each intercepting crystalline flake graphite within large intercepts of light grey and dark grey siliceous marble. The dark grey marble is expected to contain higher concentrations of flake graphite. Other lithologies include schistose metasedimentary amphibolite, often interbedded with graphitic marble, and pegmatite, diorite, and mafic dikes. Schistose metasedimentary amphibolites were also noted to contain flake graphite, particularly at contact margins.

Drilling and geological interpretations of the recent geophysical survey will enable inaugural 3D modelling and efficient targeting of mineralized intercepts. Preliminary observations include:

  • Main Zone Marble units exhibit moderate to low conductivity and chargeability contrasting with the highly-conductive and chargeable schistose metasedimentary rocks (Figures 1 and 2)

  • Bedrock outcroppings and historic trenching within graphite-bearing Main Zone lithologies reveal a moderately shallow dip to the northwest, aligning with structures interpreted in conductivity plans

  • The Main Zone metasedimentary package is comprised of a coherent block of strata with minimal faulted offset

Detailed geological interpretation and sampling are ongoing. Drill core samples are projected to be split and sent to Activation Laboratories Ltd. for analysis in one week. All samples will be analyzed for total graphitic carbon, and selected samples from all prospective lithologies will undergo additional analysis for flake characterization and size distribution.

The 2023 ban on the exportation of natural graphite from China underscores the importance of developing domestic sources of this critical mineral. Graphite is essential for the production of batteries and fuel cells, making it crucial for energy storage technologies in many jurisdictions, including the United States, Canada, and Nova Scotia. Argyle is focused on advancing its understanding of the Frenchvale Graphite Property's potential in an effort to meet this growing demand and contribute to supply chain stability and economic growth.
