Troymet Extends Tannis Zone at Golden Eagle Project

September 4, 2008 - Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSXV:TYE) (“Troymet” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of diamond drilling on its 100% owned Golden Eagle project in northwest British Columbia. Twelve holes (2,406 metres) were drilled on the intrusive-hosted Tannis zone over a 250-metre strike length to follow up high-grade gold-silver mineralization previously intersected in four holes drilled in 2005-2006 (Reference: Sept. 24, 2007 news release). One hole was abandoned prior to reaching target depth due to broken and faulted ground conditions. Assay results are pending and will be released once received and compiled.

Arsenopyrite (+ pyrite) as disseminated, replacement-type and stringer mineralization within quartz veins was encountered in all eleven of the holes that reached target depth. The mineralized vein system was intersected in rhyolitic intrusive as well as in mafic volcanics of the Boundary Range Metamorphic Suite, and in granitic intrusive rocks at depth beneath the rhyolite. The presence of granitic intrusive at depth indicates a composite, volatile-rich intrusive system in this locale, which to-date has only been tested by shallow drilling. The aerial extent of the rock types in which the mineralized vein system occurs has greatly increased the potential for further discoveries.

A mapping/prospecting program is currently underway on the Tannis zone and over the Jurassic volcanic/sediments that flank the Tannis zone to the west. Reconnaissance soil geochemical sampling suggests the mineralized veins continue into or beneath the volcanics/sediments.

The 2008 drilling and prospecting program has been managed by Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. of Vancouver BC. All samples have been sent to the ALS Chemex sample preparation facility in Terrace, BC and will be analysed at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Vancouver BC.

Tracy Hurley, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration and qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 is responsible for the technical information provided in this release.
