Troymet Completes Redhill Field Program
September 16, 2015 - Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSXV:TYE) (“Troymet”) is pleased to update progress on its exploration program on the Redhill copper-gold-zinc-silver volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) project in British Columbia. The previously announced soil sampling and reconnaissance prospecting program on the Alpha zone has been completed. The program was carried out by Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. The soil sampling program covered areas of the Alpha zone not previously sampled as well as the 11 fixed-loop transient EM conductors that occur in an area of ~600 X 1,100 metres around hole RH-06-25 (Troymet News Release, August 14, 2015). The soil grid also overlapped historic soil sampling grids to ensure continuity of coverage. Results will be released once received, assessed and evaluated.As part of its ongoing program Troymet re-logged, quartered and re-assayed the high grade intersection in hole RH-06-25. The original intersection returned 8.97% copper, 4.96 % zinc, 1.27 g/t gold and >30.0 g/t silver over 2.04 metres, including 10.15% copper, 5.45% zinc, 1.41 g/t gold, and >30.0 g/t silver over 1.74 metres (Avalon Ventures Ltd. News Release, October 31, 2006). Troymet’s re-assay of the high grade intersection returned 8.75% copper, 4.75% zinc, 1.22 g/t gold and 61.19 g/t silver thereby confirming the original assays. There is an undrilled, off-hole Pulse EM conductor adjacent to hole RH-06-25 that indicates extensions to this mineralization.
The quartered core was assayed by SGS Canada Inc. using industry standard methods including an initial multi-element ICP-MS scan for major elements (SGS method ICM14B) with over limits for Cu, Pb and Zn measured by method GO_ICP90Q. Gold was assayed by fire assay with an AA finish (method FAA303). Detailed information on these analytical methods can be found on the SGS website.
Troymet is currently in the process of permitting a diamond drilling program on the Alpha and Beta zones. Further EM surveys may be required on the Alpha zone to test for extensions to at least five of the fixed-loop transient EM conductors and to follow-up soil geochemical anomalies prior to drilling.
