Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TYE) ("Troymet" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that planning is underway for a summer field program on the
Company's 100% owned Golden Eagle project located in northern British Columbia.
The project covers an area of approximately 8,178 hectares over 25 kilometres
north to south, and includes numerous gold zones and base metal targets. The
project lies within a geochemical province shown by the British Columbia
Geological Survey's (BCGS) stream sediment sampling programs to contain
exceptionally anomalous values in gold (to 1080 ppb), gold indicator metals
(arsenic, antimony and mercury) and base metals (BCGS Bulletin 105). Further,
the BCGS noted, in file GF2003-9, that the volcano-sedimentary setting is
analogous to that at Eskay Creek.


The style and areal extent of mineralization at Golden Eagle strongly suggest a
reduced intrusion-related gold system (RIRGS). RIRGS are characterized by
widespread arrays of sheeted auriferous quartz veins, forming bulk-tonnage,
low-grade gold deposits at the top of small plutons. Well known examples include
the Fort Knox (Alaska) and Dublin Gulch (Yukon) deposits of the Tintina Gold
Belt. RIRGS also include a wide range of intrusion-related mineral deposit
styles including skarns, replacements and distal veins that form within the
region of hydrothermal influence surrounding the causative pluton. All of these
characteristics are well represented over the 25-kilometre span of the Golden
Eagle property.


The 2008 exploration program indicated the presence of a large intrusion-related
gold system (exposed at the Tannis zone) spanning the approximately 12-kilometre
strike length of the northern half of the Golden Eagle property. In the Tannis
zone the gold mineralization is hosted in rhyolitic intrusive, in granitic
intrusive at depth beneath the rhyolite, and to a lesser extent in the flanking
mafic volcanics. The intrusives are considered to be of Late Cretaceous age. To
the north, the rhyolitic and granitic intrusives are 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) in an approximately 5 x 5 kilometre area. This part
of the property contains anomalous multi-element stream geochemistry and notable
gold intersections from trenches and drill core. 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).


The 2009 program will focus on the identification of high impact
intrusive-related gold drill targets in the north half of the project.


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.

to or better than estimated results in technical reports or prior exploration
results, and future costs and expenses being based on historical costs and
expenses, adjusted for inflation. Forward-looking information is subject to
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the

information. Such risks and other factors may include, but are not limited to:
the early stage development of the Company and its projects; general business,
economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; commodity prices; the
actual results of current exploration and development or operational activities;
competition; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined;
accidents and other risks inherent in the mining industry; lack of insurance;
delay or failure to receive board or regulatory approvals; changes in
legislation, including environmental legislation, affecting the Company; timing
and availability of external financing on acceptable terms; conclusions of
economic evaluations; and lack of qualified, skilled labour or loss of key
individuals. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not
