TYE Troymet Exploration Corp.

Troymet Exploration Corp.  (TSX VENTURE:TYE) ("Troymet" or the "Company")
reports preliminary results of the 2013 drill program on the McClarty Lake joint
venture property, as provided by project operator, Hudbay Minerals Inc.
("Hudbay"). 


Hudbay drilled a single hole to test for the down dip and southward strike
continuation of the Discovery Zone volcanic massive sulphide (VMS)
mineralization discovered by Troymet in 2007. Drilling commenced on February 27,
2013 and was shut down on March 7, 2013 at 437 metres depth due to concerns of
unsafe ice conditions. A borehole electromagnetic (EM) survey was completed upon
shutdown.


Sulphide bearing biotite-quartz-garnet-amphibole-kyanite-cordierite-sericite
gneisses and schists were intersected from 280 to 437 metres down hole. The main
sulphide mineralization, consisting of predominantly pyrite (5-25%) and minor
pyrrhotite, was intersected over a 52 metre interval from 346 to 398 metres down
hole. A second 5 metre interval with 3-5% pyrite and minor pyrrhotite was
intersected from 423 to 428 metres down hole. No significant occurrences of
sphalerite (zinc sulphide) and chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) were reported by
HudBay.


Interpretation and modelling of the borehole EM data revealed two off hole
responses, one of which is interpreted to represent the zinc and copper bearing
(Discovery Zone) mineralization intersected in Troymet's 2007-2008 drilling, the
other anomaly to represent the pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization intersected in
2011 Hudbay holes, MCC001/MCC002/MCC003.


Assay results are pending and will be released once received from Hudbay.

The McClarty Lake project is located approx. 45 kilometres south of Hudbay
Chisel North and Lalor VMS deposits. The project comprises two claims (DYC3606 &
DOL78; 252 hectares) held in a Joint Venture between Hudbay (60%) and Troymet
(40%), and three claims (MAC-1, MAC-2 & MAC-3; 344 hectares) owned 100% by
Troymet. Under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, Hudbay must fund
$1,076,051 in exploration costs before Troymet is required to fund its
participating interest. Thereafter, Hudbay and Troymet will share all future
exploration and development expenditures pro-rata based on their participating
interests.
