Troymet Signs Agreement to Sell Key Property

November 19, 2013 - Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSXV:TYE) (“Troymet”) announced today that it has entered into an asset sale agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with respect to the sale of Troymet’s 100% interest in the Key Property in British Columbia to New Gold Inc. (“New Gold”) (the “Proposed Transaction”).

Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, Troymet will sell its 100% interest in the Key Property, along with associated technical information and permits, for a purchase price of $2,000,000 cash. Troymet will also be granted a 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR Royalty”) on the Key Property, of which 1% (reducing the NSR Royalty from 2% to 1%) can be purchased by New Gold for $2,000,000 cash. In addition, pursuant to the Sale Agreement, New Gold has committed to spend $1,500,000 on the Key Property, with a minimum of $500,000 of expenditures on or before December 31, 2014 and the balance of $1,000,000 of expenditures on or before December 31, 2018, subject to certain conditions.

The completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including, approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The closing of the sale is expected to occur in early December 2013.

Dr. Kieran Downes, President of Troymet, stated, “We are very pleased to have entered into this agreement with New Gold, which is continuing to advance the Blackwater gold deposit and is the dominant player in the emerging Blackwater district. We anticipate that exploration and development of the Key Property will continue to advance under New Gold’s direction and the 2% NSR retained by Troymet will ensure significant benefit to shareholders in the event of a commercial discovery. The sale of the Key Property puts Troymet in a strong financial position to advance its 100% owned Golden Eagle project, and to pursue other high impact mineral projects.”
