About Troymet Exploration Corp.

Troymet Exploration Corp. 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. The Company's common shares trade on the TSX Venture
Exchange. The Company's senior management and Board of Directors have extensive
experience in the natural resource and mining sectors, as well as experience in
the legal and corporate finance.


The Golden Eagle project, located in northern British Columbia, hosts widespread
intrusion-related gold mineralization. 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 property is also prospective for Eskay
Creek style VMS/gold mineralization. The Company's current focus is the north
block of the property where the gold bearing intrusive system is capped by
sediments/mafic volcanics that host multiple zones of
gold-silver-arsenic-antimony mineralization (e.g. Plateau, Skarn, West Gully,
Cowboy, and West Draw zones) over a approximately 5 x 5 kilometre area. A
recently completed re-interpretation of the technical data has lead to the
identification of major gold targets, not previously recognized. The various
gold zones are related to major fault systems and possible bulk-tonnage gold
deposit(s). A series of compilation and interpretative maps may be viewed on the
Company's website (www.troymet.com/s/GoldenEagle.asp). The Company plans a field
program in September to identify high impact drill targets along and between the
fault systems. To-date, there has been minimal drilling on the north block. For
further information on the Golden Eagle Project, please see the SEDAR filed
technical report entitled "Report on the 2006 Mineral Expenditure Program on the
Golden Eagle Property, Atlin Area, Northwestern British Columbia", dated October
2, 2007, by Scott Casselman, B.Sc., P.Geo., of Aurora Geosciences Ltd.


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 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 two claims
from Troymet. After completion of the earn-in by HBED the two claims will be
held in a joint venture between HBED (60%) and Troymet (40%). The mineralized
conductor systems continues onto claims owned 100% by Troymet which adjoin the
two claims subject to the HBED earn-in. Troymet is currently completing a
compilation and re-interpretation of the technical data for its three, 100%
owned claims to identify VMS drill targets. These claims have never been drilled
and are considered to have a high discovery potential. For further information
on the McClarty Lake project please see the SEDAR filed technical report
entitled "2008 Technical Report on the McClarty Lake Property", dated June 11,
2008 by Rory Kutluoglu, B.Sc. of Equity Engineering Ltd. and qualified person,
Alan H. Bailes, Ph.D., P.Geo. of Bailes Geoscience.
