[{"type":"text","content":"NANAIMO, B.C., Aug. 17, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSXV:TYE) (\"Troymet\" or the Company”) is pleased to report positive results from a recently completed test gravity survey over the volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) mineralization in the Alpha prospect of the Redhill project in British Columbia (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Gravity anomalies respond to the depth and geometry of a mineralized body, as well as the total mineralized mass. The gravity survey identified strong anomalies associated with the Upper and Lower VMS Zones, and, unexpectedly, with Horizon 1. The results support Troymet’s belief that significant VMS mineralization likely occurs at depth in the Upper and Lower VMS zones. The unexpectedly strong anomaly associated with Horizon 1 suggests an untested mineralized mass at depth. The single test line was orientated orthogonal the Upper Zone and Lower zone VMS mineralization, and to the three stacked horizons hosting VMS mineralization. Several gravity highs can be identified on the overall Bouguer Gravity profile (Figure 2). One high is associated with the Upper Zone mineralization (~300 metres). The Lower Zone mineralization may be related to the broad, lower amplitude gravity high from ~340 to 500 metres. However, the Lower Zone dips at ~65° under the upper Zone (Figure 3) with the result that the strong anomaly at ~300 metres is thought to be the result of the superimposition of the two zones. Alternatively, the gravity is indicating a significant sulphide mass associated with the Upper Zone. The best massive sulphide mineralization was intersected in holes RH16-04 and RH06-25 (Figure 4). Mineralization between these two strong intersections and surface is typically thin and stringer-like as might be expected peripheral to a well-developed VMS deposit. A borehole EM survey (BHEM) of RH06-25 identified an off-hole response at 30 Hertz, with conductivities in the range of 100 to 300 Mhos indicating a potentially large body of mineralization under holes RH16-04 and RH06-25. This is the primary drill target in this area. A second significant high is associated with Horizon 1 and its associated Fixed Loop Transient EM (FLTEM) conductor. The strong gravity anomaly indicates potential at depth. Horizon 1 has not been drill tested at depth and the FLTEM conductor has not been drill ...
