Troymet Announces Winter Program at McClarty Lake
=======================================================================
January 14, 2010 - Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSXV:TYE) ("Troymet" or
the "Company") is pleased to update progress on its McClarty Lake
project in Manitoba. The project is located near Snow Lake, Manitoba
and approximately 45 km south of the Chisel Lake and Lalor Lake
volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits at Snow Lake (HudBay Minerals
Inc.).
The McClarty Lake property comprises three claims owned 100% by Troymet
and two claims owned 60% by Troymet and 40% by Hudson Bay Exploration
and Development (HudBay) ("option claims"). HudBay is currently earning
an additional 20% interest in the option claims where Troymet
identified a gold-bearing VMS system, the Discovery zone, in 2007. The
zone is sub-vertical and extends to near surface, starting at the base
of the Palaeozoic cover rock at a depth of approximately 50 metres. The
sulphide mineralization and associated alteration system at the
Discovery zone is very similar to that associated with the Chisel Lake
and Lalor VMS deposits and a number of mineral lenses have been
identified. The Company anticipates that HudBay will conduct a 2010
winter
Diamond drilling program on the zone.
Troymet plans a 2010 winter
Diamond drilling program (~1,500 metres) on
its 100% owned properties. A ground PEM geophysical survey is scheduled
for late January and
Diamond drilling is planned for February-March.
The drill program will test the Mac EM conductor, which is on trend
with the Discovery zone. The Mac conductor was identified by the
Company's 2008 deep penetrating VTEM helicopter-borne survey and is a
high priority target with the potential to host significant VMS
mineralization.
Troymet's 100% owned claims are strategically placed and the Company
believes this green field area has the potential to deliver additional
VMS discoveries. The Mac conductor offers the potential for immediate
and significant new discoveries on 100% owned Troymet ground.
HudBay continues to drill on the multi-lens Lalor deposit, which lies
at a depth of ~750 metres and dips north for over 500 metres, and has
started development of an $85 million production ramp from its Chisel
North mine to the Lalor deposit (HudBay website PowerPoint). The Lalor
deposit contains significant zinc resources and HudBay estimates the
deposit could contain 3 million ounces of gold (HudBay news release -
October 8, 2009).
Elsewhere, VMS Ventures Inc. continues to make discoveries on its Reed
Lake and Tower zones which lie ~25 km northwest of McClarty Lake (VMS
news release - January 13, 2010).
