      Troymet Completes Airborne VTEM Survey at the Key Project
=======================================================================

August 13, 2008 - Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSXV:TYE) ("Troymet" or
the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of a
helicopter-borne VTEM survey over the Company's 100% owned Key property
located 125 km southwest of Vanderhoof, British Columbia.

The exploration target on the Key project is a precious metals-rich
volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit. The 7,882-hectare property
covers an area of anomalous lake sediment geochemistry centered on a
sequence of basaltic to rhyolitic volcanics, possibly preserved within
a graben structure. The geological setting has strong parallels to that
of the gold- and silver-rich Eskay Creek deposit in northwestern
British Columbia.

The VTEM time domain EM system is excellent for locating discrete
conductive anomalies as well as mapping lateral and vertical variations
in resistivity. It also includes a magnetometer for mapping of geologic
structure and variation in lithology. The 165 line-kilometre survey was
conducted by GEOTECH Ltd. Results of the survey will be released once
received and evaluated. A property-wide prospecting program to follow
up on the results of the survey is under consideration for the 2008
field season.

Tracy Hurley, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration and qualified person
as defined by National Instrument 43-101 is responsible for the
technical information provided in this release.

acceptable terms; conclusions of economic evaluations; and lack of
qualified,  skilled labour or loss of key individuals. Although the
