      Troymet Updates Activities
=======================================================================

August 10, 2009 - Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSXV:TYE) ("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 ~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  ~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.
