[{"type":"text","content":" NANAIMO, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 6, 2016) - Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TYE) (\"Troymet\" or the Company\") is pleased to review progress on its active exploration projects. Troymet operates the Redhill copper-gold-zinc-silver volcanogenic massive sulphide (\"VMS\") project in British Columbia and the Wildcat gold-silver project located in the northern Drum Mountains of central Utah. Hudbay Minerals Inc. operates the McClarty Lake VMS project in Manitoba (Hudbay 60%; Troymet 40%). Troymet plans drilling programs on the Redhill and Wildcat projects. Both are considered to have high discovery potential. Troymet is fully funded for its proposed drill programs on the Redhill and Wildcat projects. Wildcat Project An application for a permit to conduct a 2016 drill program on the Wildcat project has been submitted to the State of Utah and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Troymet optioned the Wildcat project from Renaissance Exploration, Inc. in February 2015 and quickly advanced it to drill ready status with new exploration and targeting concepts focusing on large-target, high-grade gold and silver mineralization in veins, stockworks, breccias and bulk-tonnage deposits. Troymet initially completed a rigorous compilation and verification of historic data that identified new target opportunities. The subsequent field program included geological mapping, prospecting, rock chip sampling, soil sampling, hand trenching, BLEG sampling, vegetation and soils orientation sampling, claim staking, and reprocessing of ground magnetic and gravity databases. As well, detailed bi-directional ground magnetic and EM surveys were completed in the SE and Core target areas to aid in drill hole targeting. The field program successfully identified numerous prospective structural drill targets along the Joy Fault and in cross cutting structures. Details of drill targets in the Rattler and Rattle breccia zones (SE target area) and at High Grade Hill (\"HGH\" - Core target area) have been released (news releases dated November 10, November 24 and December 8, 2015). The HGH zone, which is strongly oxidized, contains a very rare tellurium mineral (carlsfriesite) associated with the silver-rich, high-grade gold suggesting an affiliation with gold-telluride mineralization, an association previously unrecognized.
