• Drilling at the new Kamila Southeast Zone continues to produce encouraging high-grade gold-silver values:
  • Hole CA-11-318 reported an interval of 8.25m at 8.33g/t gold and 817.8g/t silver or 20.02g/t Au_eq from 342.15m, downhole;
  • Hole CA-11-323 produced an interval of 9.00m at 10.98g/t gold and 1320g/t silver or 29.84g/t Au_eq from 289.00m, downhole;
  • Hole CA-11-325 returned an interval of 3.65m at 2.32g/t gold and 850g/t silver or 14.47g/t Au_eq from 302.50m, downhole;
  • Hole CA-11-326 returned an interval of 11.2m at 2.66g/t gold and 539.98g/t silver or 10.37g/t Au_eq from 341.5m downhole.
• Mineralised zone remains open along strike, as well as up and down dip;
• Two rigs continue program of infill holes and step-outs to delineate mineralised zone within Inca Vein;
• Resource Estimate will be completed later in this quarter.

Troy Resources NL ("Troy") is pleased to announce further assay results from recently completed drilling at the Company's flagship Casposo gold and silver mine in San Juan, Argentina, which further delineate the new Kamila Southeast high grade gold-silver zone along strike and to the southeast of the existing Kamila Reserve.

Chief Executive Officer, Paul Benson said: "This recent drilling at Kamila Southeast has confirmed that we have one larger central high grade mineralised zone centred on holes CA-11-295 and CA-11-306 with a smaller second high grade shoot to the northwest defined by the CA-11-297 intercept. Additional Drilling is required to fill a drilling gap between the two.

"We remain on track to complete a Resource Estimate for this zone in this quarter and if the current delineation drilling is positive, a Mining Reserve by the end of the calendar year. Our objective then will be to determine if we can commence underground development earlier than currently planned. This would maintain production at higher levels and extend the mine life.

"Later in August we will reassign one of the rigs to recommence step-out drilling at Kamila Southeast beyond the current 400m long zone and test the remaining 1 kilometre of strike to the southeast."

Mr Benson said the man-portable drill has been repositioned and has commenced drilling on the one kilometre long outcropping Lucia Vein located 3 kilometres north of the plant. This rig will sequentially test the highest ranked drill targets from the numerous outcropping veins to the northeast of the Kamila structural corridor as well as the Castaño Nuevo and Don David Joint Ventures 23 kilometres to the north.

"In addition to a substantial drilling effort, an helicopter Magnetics and Radiometrics survey is scheduled to commence in late October and follow-up detailed grid based Ground Magnetics and Induced Polarization surveys will commence later this quarter to assist in delineating drill targets within the outcropping vein area north and northeast of the processing plant."

The new holes reported include a series of step-outs and infill holes from earlier reported gold–silver intercepts on the Inca Vein within the Kamila Southeast Extension Target, most of which intercepted the modelled Inca Vein surface as planned.

The Kamila Southeast Target was originally modelled as a series of three shoots from northwest to southeast centred on high grade intercepts in CA-11-297, CA-11-295 and CA-11-306.

The new drill holes have added significantly to the understanding of the Kamila Southeast Target and confirmed the high grade gold and silver values associated with the Inca Vein within the zone. Most importantly, it now appears that the two shoots modelled around holes CA-11-295 and CA-11-306 are in fact one larger mineralised zone with a second shoot to the northwest defined by the CA-11-297 intercept.

Additional holes are required to test the gap between the CA-11-297 shoot and the new Main Zone (see Figure 1, Figure 2 and Table 1). Intercepts include:

Drilling to date has focussed on the 430m zone adjacent to the post mineral dyke. The zone remains open along strike for one kilometre, as well as up and down dip.
