August 22, 2024 TheNewswire - Vancouver, B.C. - Troy Minerals Inc. (“Troy” or the “Company) (CSE: TROY; OTCQB: TROYF; FSE: VJ3) is pleased to announce that core drilling is underway on the Company’s Lake Owen project. The Lake Owen Project is in Wyoming, USA, located approximately 50 km southwest of Laramie, Wyoming (Figure 1).

Troy’s drill program targets TiO2 and V2O5 mineralization associated with magnetite in gabbro. Two pad locations were selected for this first phase of drilling with at least one drill hole planned at each pad (Figure 2). Interpretative cross sections based on historical exploration (surface mapping, geophysical surveys, and drilling) at the selected pad locations are shown in Figure 3.

 

The drill holes will target the Lake Owen Intrusive with planned end of hole in the basement rocks.

Other potential mineralization styles include “Reef”-style platinum group element (PGE) horizons, as well as base metal mineralization at the base of the Lake Owen Complex.

 

The Lake Owen Complex is a Proterozoic layered mafic intrusion complex with a long history of exploration for PGEs. Similar in style to the Stillwater Complex in Montana, USA and the Merensky Reef of South Africa, the Lake Owen Complex is a highly prospective North American-based target for critical metals like vanadium and titanium but also has strong potential for PGE enrichment and basal base metal mineralization.

The Lake Owen project (formerly SW2) is a highly prospective Vanadium, Titanium and Iron ore rich project that consists of 100 mineral claims located approximately 50km southwest of Laramie, Wyoming USA. The property target is a Proterozoic Layered Mafic Intrusive host with strong magnetite-rich cumulates and accompanying V/Ti and Pt/Pd/Au/Rh-bearing sulfide horizons.

The Lac Jacques project is a drive-to project with close infrastructure located approximately 250km north of Montreal Quebec, Canada and is comprised of 17 claims totaling 994 ha. The Property hosts high grade REE mineralization at the surface in a structurally controlled and steeply dipping carbonatite dike up to 25 meters thick with multi-kilometer potential.

The Ticktock project, a 1,065-hectare property located within the prolific Golden Triangle region of British Columbia, Canada, lies 23km northwest of the historic Eskay Creek Mine and sits between the Enduro Metals Newmont Lake property and the Aben Resources Forrest-Kerr property.
