TYE Troymet Exploration Corp.

Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TYE) ("Troymet" or the "Company") is
pleased to report that HudBay Minerals Inc. ("HudBay") has commenced a winter
diamond drilling program in the Discovery zone area of the McClarty Lake
project. The McClarty Lake property is located near Snow Lake, Manitoba and lies
approx.45 kilometres south of HudBay's Chisel North and Lalor volcanogenic
massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. The property comprises three claims owned 100%
by Troymet and two claims owned 60% by Troymet and 40% by HudBay ("option
claims"). HudBay is currently earning an additional 20% interest in the option
claims by spending $750,000 on exploration by June 5, 2011. 


Early exploration on the McClarty Lake property was hampered by lack of outcrop
exposure and overlying Paleozoic-aged sediment cover. An electromagnetic (EM)
conductor detected in 1996 was tested by two diamond drill holes in 1997 by
HudBay and two holes in 2000 by Troymet's predecessor company. All four holes
intersected a gold- and silver-bearing semi-massive pyrite horizon in altered
felsic volcanics, reporting a best intersection of 4.17 g/t gold and 8.48 g/t
silver over 4.0 metres. A deep penetrating Time Domain EM (TEM) survey
undertaken in 2002 subsequently defined a potential massive sulphide horizon(s)
over a strike length of approx.600 metres. Plans to test the conductor were
shelved in 2004 and 2005 due to lack of drill availability, and in 2006 by poor
ice conditions.


Diamond drilling in 2007 and 2008 successfully identified two laterally
continuous zones of massive sulphides within a sequence of variably altered
felsic volcanics and volcaniclastics. The upper pyritic zone, discovered in
1997, is locally gold enriched and traced in drill holes over a 300-metre strike
length and to 250 metres vertical depth. In 2007, a second massive sulphide
horizon was intersected 150 metres stratigraphically below the pyritic horizon.
Known as the Discovery zone, it is also locally gold enriched and returned 1.47%
zinc and 0.31% copper over 43.05 metres, including 3.46% zinc over 15.3 metres
(May 15, 2008 news release). The mineralization is shallow, with the Discovery
zone starting at the base of the Palaeozoic sequence at a vertical depth of
approx.50 metres. It has been traced in drill holes over a 75-metre strike
length and to a depth of 175 metres. Both zones are open along strike and at
depth.
