New Claims Added To Lake Owen Project

VANCOUVER - Troy Minerals Inc. reported additional claims have been added to the Lake Owen Wyoming project after first pass geological mapping has been completed. The Company has completed a first pass program of geological mapping and sampling on the property and, as a result, has added additional claims to the southern boundary of the property.

"The addition of 9 claims on our claim block was made to make sure we add a solid land position over and into the contact between the Proterozoic Lake Owen Complex (Layered mafic intrusion) and the Archean Wyoming Craton" said Rana Vig, President and CEO. "Our near-term goals to explore the layered mafic intrusion for vanadium and titanium mineralization also includes ‘reef' style PGE mineralization as noted by historic work and drilling on the property by Chevron and, the potential for basal massive Cu and Ni sulfide mineralization along the Proterozoic- Archean contact. In addition, recent mapping has shown outcrops of Archean gneiss, metasediment and metavolcanics within the Archean contact lithology."
