Western Troy Plans Drilling at MacLeod Lake

Western Troy Plans Drilling at MacLeod Lake

Troy Capital Resources Inc. announced that it will perform a 2000 meter drilling program at MacLeod Lake in February and March of 2007. The company has sufficient funds to perform the program and continue operating the company through mid-2008 without diluting existing shareholders with additional share offerings.

Western Troy’s President, Rex Loesby, commented, “We are having a thorough review of all of the MacLeod Lake geophysical data performed by Marc Boivin, a geophysical specialist that has worked in the region for over 20 years. We are hopeful that Marc will help us better target drilling of numerous IP anomalies in the Northeast Area. The drilling is intended to further test the Northeast Area, expand the South Zone, and test the zinc target to the northeast. Following this drilling, the next step in the development process at MacLeod Lake is to begin the final feasibility process. Based on a comparison of grade and tonnage with other operating surface mines, we believe the Main Zone alone will be able to support a mining operation at molybdenum and copper prices substantially below current levels.”

Western Troy’s Board of Directors has also granted options to management. A total of 235,000 options to purchase common shares of Western Troy have been granted pursuant to Western Troy’s Stock Option Plan. The options have a term of 5 years and are exercisable at a price of 44.5 cents per share (the closing price of Western Troy on December 27, 2006). As a result of the granting of these options, and other recent share transactions, there are now 10,658,761 shares outstanding (13.0 million fully diluted). Prior to these recent changes, there were 10,146.453 shares outstanding (13.0 million fully diluted).
