The National Institute of Scientific Research (INRS) is dedicated exclusively to graduate level research and training. Since its creation in 1969, the institute has built its success on interdisciplinarity, innovation, and excellence.

Professor Marc Richer-Laflèche, PhD., Scientific Head of the Applied Geoscience Laboratory at the INRS Eau Terre Environment Research Centre and special advisor to Argyle Resources, will oversee continued research by conducting the following studies:

1. High-resolution drone surveys to produce a digital terrain model and orthorectified color imagery in an attempt to define quartzite formations, conduct environmental assessments, and possible quarry design;
2. Petrophysical study of the quartzite and surrounding host rock to determine optimal geophysical exploration tools;
3. Granulochemical and mineralogical studies of the quartzite to determine the industrial potential of the quartzite;
4. Geometallurgical tests with the aim to optimize the silica purification process;
5. Collection of meteorological data to monitor precipitation and environmental considerations and;
6. Installation of wildlife cameras to monitor animal activity within the project footprint.

Argyle Resources will engage a qualified regulatory compliant exploration team to assist with research, exploration, and assessment efforts.
