[{"type":"text","content":"NANAIMO, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - July 25, 2016) - Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TYE) (\"Troymet\" or the Company\") is pleased to report that the program of detailed follow-up soil sampling and prospecting of 3DIP anomalies on the Alpha zone and evaluation of the gold-, copper-and zinc-in-soil anomalies on the Alpha South zone is complete. New drill targets have been identified associated with slumped/mechanically transported sulphides and the area of volcanic stratigraphy prospective for the discovery of VMS deposits has been significantly expanded. Alpha Zone The 3DIP survey mapped previously unrecognized and fundamental geologic patterns in the Alpha zone where the geologic sequence dips steeply west (~75°). The 3DIP shows where sulphides are introduced into the volcanic sequence accompanied by increased silicification, which is mapped by the resistivity. Plentiful breccia boulders, several of which contain massive sulphide blocks (photo links: angular sulphide in breccia; bedded sulphide in breccia) have been found in a prospective volcanic sequence (~100 m wide) that is coincident with the strong, chargeability/resistivity anomaly. The horizon is located ~70 m into the hanging wall of the VMS prospect (map link: chargeability showing prospective volcanic sequences). The sulphides are dominantly of pyrite with trace to minor chalcopyrite. The boulders represent slump features and/or mechanically transported mineralization likely the result of brecciation at source, transport down-slope by gravity-driven submarine debris flows, and deposition in depressions. What is geologically termed \"transported ore\" can form substantial bodies of mineralization as in the Buchans and Boundary VMS deposits in Newfoundland. A large chargeability anomaly (> 20 milliseconds; ~280 m x 260 m), located approximately 130 m into the hanging wall of the VMS prospect, may represent slumped sulphides accumulated in a basin down-slope and/or a stockwork zone related to the VMS prospect (VMS prospect hole RH06-25, re-logged, quartered and re-assayed by Troymet, returned: 8.75% copper, 4.75% zinc, 1.22 g/t gold & 61.19 g/t silver over 2.04 m. The mineralization is open along strike and to depth). Maps of 3DIP chargeability and resistivity as well as copper, zinc and gold-in-soils can be viewed at www.troymet.com/projects/redhil...
