Troy Resources Appoints Andrew Storrie as Operations Manager Brazil

PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 9, 2009) - Troy Resources NL (TSX:TRY)(ASX:TRY) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Growing junior gold producer, Troy Resources NL is pleased to announce it has appointed Mr Andrew Storrie as Operations Manager Brazil.

Mr Storrie commenced his career working at the South Crofty mine in Cornwall before working for 10 in years in Africa and Canada for De Beers and Falconbridge. For the last five years Andrew has held mine construction and management roles in South America and West Africa.

Mr Storrie is fluent in English and Spanish. He holds a Bachelor of Mining Engineering (Hons) degree from the Camborne School of Mines and Exeter University.

Mr Storrie has taken over management responsibility for Troy's Andorinhas mine in Brazil from Mr Ken Nilsson, Troy's Executive Director of Operations, allowing Mr Nilsson to focus on the construction and commissioning of the Casposo project in Argentina.

CEO Paul Benson said, "I am delighted Troy has been able to attract a manager of Andrew's capability and international operations experience. With his experience in narrow vein underground mining and the Latin American working culture, Andrew is perfectly qualified to lead the Andorinhas mine as it moves to bring the Mamao underground operations to full production.

"With Andrew taking over the management responsibility for Andorinhas, Ken Nilsson will focus his attention on building and commissioning Casposo safely, quickly and at low cost. Without doubt Casposo is the cornerstone of Troy's near term growth plans and is key to increasing Troy's production beyond 100,000 ounces per annum. With Ken's wealth of experience and impressive track record as a "mine builder", Casposo could not be in better hands.

"This is an exciting time for Troy. With a 50% jump in gold production last year to just under 62,000 ounces of gold, and forecast growth in each year through at least 2012, we continue to build the depth and talent of the Troy management team. I am confident Andrew will play a key role as we pursue our vision of growing Troy to a mid-tier gold producer."
