Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 17, 2024) - Argyle Resources Corp. (CSE: ARGL) (FSE: ME0) commends the recent decision by the Canadian government on June 10, 2024 to include silicon on the Critical Minerals List. This designation underscores silicon's pivotal role in various high-tech and green technologies, positioning it as a strategic resource essential for national security and economic stability.

Silicon, a fundamental component in semiconductors and solar panels, plays a crucial role in advancing innovation across multiple industries, including telecommunications, electronics, and renewable energy. Its inclusion on the critical elements list reflects its irreplaceable value in supporting technological advancements critical to global competitiveness and sustainability efforts.

"In addition to the inclusion of silicon on the Canadian 2024 Critical Minerals List, we are pleased to note that silicon was previously added to the United States List of Critical Materials for Energy in 2023," said Jeff Stevens, CEO of Argyle Resources Corp. "This dual recognition underscores silicon's essential role in driving the next wave of technological advancements."

In conjunction with this milestone, the Company is pleased to announce its intent to pursue a Technical Report 43-101 on its silica assets located in Quebec. This report will provide a comprehensive assessment of the mineral potential on its properties and the potential economic viability of these assets, further solidifying the Company's commitment to transparency and strategic development in the silicon sector.

"The Technical Report 43-101 will enable us to showcase the potential value of our silica assets in Quebec," added Jeff Stevens. "Upon completion, this will mark a significant step forward in our efforts to enhance our position as a key player in the silica/silicon supply chain in North America."

The 2024 Critical Minerals List identifies minerals vital to the economic and national security interests of Canada. This inclusion provides strategic guidance for policymakers and stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of securing a stable supply chain for silicon amid global market dynamics.

Argyle Resources Corp remains committed to advancing sustainable practices and technological innovation within the industry. The company's engagement of the National Institute of Scientific Research ("INRS") to conduct the 2024 summer and fall exploration programs on the Company's silica assets in Quebec demonstrates the commitment to potentially identifying domestic high-grade silica and could position the Company to meet the growing North American demand, spurred by silicon's new critical mineral status.
