Western Troy Capital Resources (News - Market indicators) (Western Troy or the Company) announced today that Diamond core drilling will commence at its Deborah Lake Copper/Gold Prospect in mid-March. The drilling program will consist of approximately 30 core holes to be drilled on a number of targets on the Deborah Lake property. The drill targets were identified as a result of surface chip sampling, regional geologic mapping, and airborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys. Drill core with mineralized sections will be split and samples sent for assay. Results of the assays will be published as soon as they are available from the assay laboratory, most likely in late April and early May.

Western Troy has signed a drilling contract with Cartwright Drilling of Goose Bay, Labrador, for the work. Western Troy's exploration crew has been working the past two months on the construction of a camp at the Deborah Lake project site.
