Troymet updates activities - August 10, 2009

posted on Aug 11, 2009 09:09AM

Here is the text of the news release put out by Troymet at the end of trading yesterday, which contained the "unaware of any material change" statement they were obliged by regulation to issue after a surge in price and volume.

COMOX, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 10, 2009) - Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TYE - News; "Troymet" or the "Company"), at the request of Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC), reports that it is unaware of any material changes that would cause the current level of trading activity in the Company's stock.

The Company is continuing its reinterpretation of the geological, geochemical and geophysical data for the north block of its Golden Eagle project located in northern British Columbia. The Company believes a significant gold target is present in this area and plans a field program later in the year. The style and areal extent of mineralization at Golden Eagle strongly suggest an intrusion-related gold system similar to the Pogo (Alaska), Fort Knox (Alaska) and Dublin Gulch (Yukon) deposits of the Tintina Gold Belt. The 2008 exploration program indicated the presence of a large intrusion-related gold system (exposed at the Tannis zone) spanning the approximately 12-kilometre strike length of the northern half of the Golden Eagle property. In the north block the intrusive system is capped by sediments and mafic volcanics of variable thickness that host multiple zones of gold-silver-arsenic-antimony mineralization (e.g. Plateau, Skarn, West Gully, Cowboy, and West Draw zones) over a approximately 5 x 5 kilometre area. The various gold zones in this area were previously investigated in isolation but are now considered as underlying vectors toward a related bulk-tonnage gold deposit(s). A series of compilation and interpretative maps have recently been uploaded to the Company's website (www.troymet.com/s/GoldenEagle.asp).

The Company anticipates that Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited ("HBED") will conduct a diamond drilling program on the McClarty Lake project, Manitoba, after freeze-up. HBED is earning back a 20% interest in the project from Troymet. After completion of the earn-in by HBED the project will be held in a joint venture between HBED (60%) and Troymet (40%). HBED's decision to earn back in to the property lends strong support to management's belief that McClarty Lake is a property of substantial merit with excellent potential to host a precious metal rich VMS deposit(s). The sulphide mineralization and associated alteration system at McClarty Lake is very similar to that associated with the Chisel Lake and the newly discovered Lalor Lake volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits of the Snow Lake area.

The Company plans a limited field program on its 100% owned Key project in north-central British Columbia, where a VTEM survey flown in 2008 identified a number of conductors. This is a greenfield project with little history of exploration. Given the location of the project and the newly identified VMS targets, the Company is very optimistic for its discovery potential.

Troymet is a junior exploration company with precious and base metal projects located in British Columbia and Manitoba, Canada. The Company is actively seeking partners to advance its highly prospective properties and continues to seek new projects with high-value and large-tonnage potential to add to its portfolio.
