ARGYLE RESOURCES CORP. ANNOUNCES FILING OF 21 MINERAL LODE CLAIMS IN CROOK COUNTY, WYOMING
Argyle Resources Corp.'s exploration partner, Rangefront Mining Services, has filed 21 mineral lode claims on the company's behalf with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Crook county, near Sundance, Wyo. The company is naming these consolidated claim blocks, the Sundance Bear Lodge REE (rare earth element) project.
The newly staked claims are strategically located in the Bear Lodge mining district. The Bear Lodge mining district, located in Crook county in northeastern Wyoming, has been an active mining region since the discovery of gold in 1875 near Warren Peak. Exploration activity in the district has historically targeted gold, rare earth elements, barium, copper, lead, zinc, manganese, niobium, tantalum, thorium, fluorine and phosphate.
Most notably within the Bear Lodge mining district is the Bear Lodge critical rare earth project owned by Rare Element Resources Ltd. The Bear Lodge critical rare earth project has a 2024 resource estimate with economic grades and tonnage and plans to proceed with mine development. Rare Element Resources has also received a non-binding letter of intent from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) for debt financing for the Bear Lodge project for up to $553-million. The funds would support the permitting, engineering design and construction of the Bear Lodge critical rare earth project.
The 21 lode claims have been submitted to the BLM for application processing, with finalization expected within approximately six weeks. Argyle and Rangefront will continue to evaluate the potential of the claims and explore opportunities to advance the project in alignment with the company's strategic growth initiatives.
"We are excited about the acquisition of these new claims, which add to our expanding portfolio of mineral assets," said Jeff Stevens, chief executive officer of Argyle Resources. "The historical mining activity in the region, coupled with our technical team's expertise, presents a strong opportunity to unlock value from these properties."
The company will provide further updates as the permitting process advances and as exploration activities commence on the claims.
George Yordanov, PGeo, director, reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information disclosed in this press release, acting as the company's qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
