Troymet Provides Corporate Strategy Update

February 19, 2014 - Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSXV:TYE)(“Troymet”) is pleased to provide a corporate strategy update to its shareholders.

Since completing the sale of the Key property to New Gold Inc. in the fall of 2013, Troymet’s directors and officers have been considering various opportunities for Troymet and developing a plan to take advantage of the current state of the depressed mineral industry, and in particular, the current prices for exploration properties in the junior mineral exploration industry. As a result, Troymet is actively seeking potential opportunities to acquire new, quality mineral projects. Troymet believes that the current state of the depressed junior mineral exploration industry, coupled with Troymet’s strong financial position, provides Troymet with a unique opportunity to pursue potential acquisitions of mineral projects at attractive prices. Notwithstanding the above, currently, Troymet does not have any agreement (whether binding or non-binding), or any other undisclosed material information, in relation to any potential acquisition of a mineral project.

Troymet is also evaluating how best to advance its existing portfolio of properties especially the Golden Eagle project with its gold, silver and base metals exploration opportunities. In addition, Troymet is also seeking out potential opportunities for shell companies that have cash reserves to complete private placements for securities of Troymet (a “Shell Private Placement”).

If Troymet determines to proceed with an acquisition of a mineral project at a future date, depending on market conditions, Troymet would likely complete a 10 old for 1 new common share consolidation (approved by shareholders at Troymet’s April 19, 2013 shareholder meeting) in conjunction with the completion of any potential acquisition.

A further press release will be issued in the event that Troymet enters into any agreement or has material information in respect of an acquisition or Shell Private Placement, or the board of directors of Troymet determines to implement a consolidation of Troymet’s common shares. There is no guarantee that any potential acquisition will be pursued by Troymet, or that any potential acquisition, Shell Private Placement or any consolidation will be completed at all.
