TYE Troymet Exploration Corp.

Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TYE) ("Troymet" or the "Company") is
pleased to report gold assay results from the stream sediment sampling program
completed on the North prospect and adjacent Tannis zone of the Golden Eagle
project in northern British Columbia. In total, 577 samples from approximately
60 streams and tributaries were collected before the onset of winter conditions.
The program delivered very positive results and identified nine new anomalous
areas requiring ground follow up in 2010
(www.troymet.com/s/GoldenEagle-Images.asp). The results show extensive,
anomalous areas that have not yet been prospected or drilled. The aerial extent
of the anomalies indicates large source areas.


NORTH PROSPECT

Over 400 samples were collected from approx.40 streams and tributaries that
drain the approx.5 x 5 kilometre North prospect area. Anomalous stream sediment
samples ranging up to 200 ppb gold were collected the vicinity of the West
Gully, Plateau, West Draw, Stibnite, Cowboy, LQ and Skarn zones. Of greater
interest are a number of moderate to highly anomalous sample sites that are well
distant from the known showings and remain unexplained. 


West Gully: To the north of West Gully, four streams draining the northwest
quadrant of the North prospect area returned highly anomalous samples ranging
from 158 to 637 ppb gold. Anomalous values of 287 and 317 ppb gold were also
reported in this area from the 1992 reconnaissance-scale stream sediment
sampling program undertaken by the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines
and Petroleum Resources. These results indicate the potential for undiscovered
zones of mineralization located over a distance of up to 1,400 metres north of
the West Gully zone. Mapping by the BC Geological Survey indicates the area to
be underlain by intrusive rocks of the Lower Triassic Stikine Plutonic Suite.
Hole N0901, drilled at the southern edge of this area, intersected a +40
metre-wide altered and sheared zone carrying trace to 10% disseminated and
veinlet controlled sulphides (pyrite, arsenopyrite, stibnite, galena, sphalerite
and chalcopyrite) with moderate to strong sericite alteration and silicification
(News Release October 21, 2009). 


LQ East: This area, located approx.700 metres north of the Skarn zone and
approx.750 metres northeast of the LQ vein, returned highly anomalous values of
856, 1,070 and 1,315 ppb gold. It is possible that the anomalies are related to
a major, northeast-trending curvilinear structure tracking the Ben creek. 


LQ West: This area, located 600 metres west of the LQ vein, contains a highly
anomalous silt of 1585 ppb gold. It may be an extension of the LQ zone or it may
represent a separate zone of mineralization.


Slope Anomalies: Moderately anomalous stream sediment samples (60 to 474 ppb
gold) were collected from creeks that drain the eastern flank of the North
prospect area. These anomalies lie between 1,500 and 2,200 metres east of the
nearest known mineralized area (Skarn zone), suggesting they are related to
another as yet undiscovered and possibly broad source. 


West Draw: An anomalous sample (191 ppb gold) lies approx.1,000 metres to the
west and up-drainage. This area has not yet been prospected.


Pistol Lake: Located approx. 1,200 metres south of the Cowboy zone and near the
southern extension of the Ben fault, a single creek contains anomalous values of
47, 106 and 253 ppb gold. The highest value is the last sample taken
up-drainage. The data suggests the anomalies are derived from the Ben Fault. 


TANNIS ZONE

Approximately 175 samples were collected from approx.20 streams and tributaries
that drain into Paddy's Pass from North Mountain and Middle Ridge. As expected,
anomalous stream sediment samples were collected from creeks originating near
the Tannis zone on Middle Ridge (up to 1,320 ppb gold) and in the vicinity of
the Catfish zone on North Mountain (up to 277 ppb gold). 


Link: Anomalous results of up to 118 ppb gold were also collected from samples
approx.1.5 kilometres west of Tannis in an area where reconnaissance prospecting
has also returned positive results. 


Catfish: Up to 97 ppb gold in stream sediments was recovered approx.600 metres
west of the Catfish zone. Streams further to the west were not sampled due to
heavy snow. The anomalous streams sampled to date indicate a prospective area
that is a minimum of 1,000 metres long. This area has not yet been prospected
and is open to extension.


Terrace: Stream sediment sampling to the east of the Tannis and Catfish zones
has revealed another broad area of interest (49 to 153 ppb gold) spanning
approx.1.5 x 3.0 kilometres from the western shore of Tutshi Lake. Glacial cover
is more extensive in the area, which may account for a general lack of previous
exploration activity and data. 


The generally rugged terrain and variable glacial cover over the northern half
of the Golden Eagle property has historically inhibited detailed prospecting and
mapping, and much of the ground geophysical work to date has been patchwork in
coverage. The 2009 stream sediment anomalies, in conjunction with the numerous
zones of structurally controlled gold-silver-arsenic-antimony mineralization and
gold-in-soil anomalies, strengthens management's belief the Golden Eagle
property may host one or more bulk-tonnage gold deposits. The mineralization is
thought to be related to major NNW-trending structures, including the regionally
significant Llewellyn fault, and to an underlying granite-related gold system.
Management is very pleased with the number of new target areas this survey has
identified, and that the results continue to augment the hypothesis of a
widespread mineralizing event on the property.


Samples were analyzed by ALS Chemex, Vancouver, BC, an ISO 9001:2000 accredited
