Troymet's Drilling Underway at McClarty Lake VMS Project
======================================================================

February 28, 2008 - Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSXV:TYE) (the
"Company") is pleased to announce that drilling is underway on its
McClarty Lake project, located 47 kilometres southwest of Snow Lake,
Manitoba. The 3,000-metre program is designed to follow up the exciting
base metal intersections obtained in the 2007 drill program (Reference:
Sept. 26, 2007 news release), and to further test the +600-metre
conductor system with which the base metal and gold-silver
mineralization is associated.

The McClarty volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization is a
new discovery in a significantly under-explored area, and the Company
believes the potential for further discovery is excellent. The property
is located approximately 24 kilometres southeast of the VMS Ventures'
Reed Lake discovery and approximately 45 kilometres south-southeast of
HudBay Minerals' Lalor Lake discovery.

Dr. Alan Bailes, formerly Chief Geologist of the Precambrian Mapping
Division, Manitoba Geological Survey, is consulting with the logging of
the current and historical drill core. His expertise on the geology and
VMS deposits of the Flin Flon - Snow Lake Belt is proving highly
valuable in gaining an understanding of the stratigraphy, alteration
and controls to mineralization at McClarty.

The exploration program is being managed by Equity Engineering Ltd. of
Vancouver, BC. Tracy Hurley, PGeo, Vice President, Exploration and
qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 is
responsible for the technical information provided in this release.
