Heraldo de Madrid - Troy Minerals Strategically Expands Its Lake Owen Project in Wyoming by 100%

"Our Lake Owen Project compliments our overall portfolio of strategic exploration assets in Canada, USA and Mongolia." stated Yannis Tsitos, President of Troy Minerals. " The addition of 85 claims on our Wyoming holdings, now brings our total number of claims to 185 and was made to increase the amount of potentially fertile magnetite-rich gabbro in the Property. Our near-term goals are to explore the layered mafic intrusion for vanadium and titanium mineralization, which also includes 'reef' style PGE (Platinum Group Elements) 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- contact."

The Lake Owen Project has effectively been doubled and now comprises 1433 hectares from 714 hectares before the new staking. The newly acquired claims are accessible through existing infrastructure and cover strategic land adjacent to the existing Lake Owen claims (see Figure 1 below)

Figure 1. Lake Owen Project Expanded Claims

The Lake Owen Project, is a Proterozoic layered mafic intrusion complex with a long history of sporadic exploration primarily for Platinum Group Elements. Similar in style to the Stillwater Complex in USA and the Merensky Reef of South Africa, the Lake Owen Complex is a highly prospective North American based target with a strong potential for significant vanadium, titanium, PGE and associated metals mineralization.

The Lake Owen Complex is the focus of the US government's critical minerals strategy resulting in a recently completed high resolution airborne Magnetic and Radiometric geophysical survey over the complex, which also covers the Company's property, and included 'boots on the outcrop' mapping and sampling by the United States Geological Survey ("USGS"). Geologists from the USGS and Wyoming Geologic Survey ("WGS") recently visited the Property with Troy's Chief Geologist Bill Cronk. Their goals were to review the recently drilled core, log it themselves and select samples for petrologic studies including thin section analysis.
