Troy Resources NL: Kamila Southeast Target Drilling Continues to Deliver High Grade Results


PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - July 19, 2011) - Troy Resources NL (TSX:TRY)(ASX:TRY) -

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


* Drilling along strike and southeast of Kamila Reserve extends new, high-grade gold-silver mineralised zone.
o Hole CA-11-316 reported an interval of 3.45m at 21.59g/t gold and 1240.35g/t silver or 39.30g/t Au_eq from 315.35m, downhole;
o Hole CA-11-317 reported an interval of 2.0m at 10.99g/t gold and 312.50g/t silver or 15.45g/t Au_eq from 323.50m downhole.
* Mineralised zone remains open along strike, as well as up and down dip.
* Second Rig added to program in late June to complete Infill drilling targeting Resource estimate in September quarter.

Troy Resources NL ("Troy") is pleased to announce further assay results from recently completed drilling at the Company's flagship Casposo gold and silver mine in San Juan, Argentina, which continue to extend the new high grade gold-silver mineralised zone along strike and to the southeast of the existing Kamila Reserve.

The new holes include a series of step-outs and infill holes from earlier reported gold–silver intercepts on the Inca Vein within the Kamila Southeast Extension Target, most of which intercepted the modelled Inca Vein surface as planned.

The new intercepts have added significantly to the understanding of the Kamila Southeast Target and continue to confirm the high grade gold and silver values associated with the Inca Vein within the zone (see Figure 1, Figure 2 and Table 1). Intercepts include:

* CA-11-314: 0.5m at 4.70g/t gold and 104.0g/t silver or 6.19g/t Au_eq from 338.8m and 1.15m at 3.95g/t gold and 14.83g/t silver or 4.16g/t Au_eq from 350.25m downhole;
* CA-11-315: overshot the modelled pierce point Inca Vein target and this resulted in no significant assays;
* CA-11-316: 3.45m at 21.59g/t gold and 1240.35g/t silver or 39.30g/t Au_eq from 315.35m, including 0.90m at 59.19g/t gold and 3751g/t silver or 112.78g/t Au_eq from 315.35m downhole;
* CA-11-317: 2m at 10.99g/t gold and 312.50g/t silver or 15.45g/t Au_eq from 323.50m downhole.

Drilling to date has focussed on the 430m zone adjacent to the post mineral dyke. The zone remains open along strike for one kilometre, as well as up and down dip.

Chief Executive Officer, Paul Benson said: "Our current objective is to complete the drilling required for a Resource Estimate on this new zone in the September quarter and if the infill drilling is positive, a Mining Reserve by the end of the calendar year."

"Our focus in the coming months will be to determine if we can prove up sufficient high grade material to justify commencing underground development earlier than currently planned."

Mr Benson said the man-portable drill has been repositioned and has commenced drilling on the one kilometre long outcropping Lucia Vein located 3 kilometres north of the plant. This rig will sequentially test the highest ranked drill targets from the numerous outcropping veins to the northeast of the Kamila structural corridor as well as the Castaño Nuevo and Don David Joint Ventures 23 kilometres to the north.

"In addition to a substantial drilling effort, a contract has been awarded for detailed helicopter magnetics and a radiometric survey over the Casposo Property and the JV areas. Follow-up ground magnetics and Induced Polarization surveys will also be undertaken to assist in delineating covered drill targets."
