Mining’s old guard needs strong medicine
A new report details subpar investor returns in the mining industry over the last decade, particularly big cap diversified companies which have not adapted to new realities.
COMOX, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwire – July 24, 2012) – Troymet Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TYE) (“Troymet” or the “Company”) is pleased to update exploration progress on its 100% owned flagship Key project in British Columbia, where a planned $1 million exploration program, including diamond drilling, is underway. Detailed soil sampling of the principal gold-in-soil anomalous zones has been completed and assays are pending. Prospecting and sampling is continuing to complete coverage over the numerous target areas. Outcrop exposure on the property is sparse, hence overburden trenching is planned and induced polarization (“IP”) grids are also being established over the target zones. The trenching and IP surveys are designed to refine new diamond drill targets. For additional information please visit www.troymet.com/s/Key.asp.

It is strategically located adjacent to New Gold Inc.’s Blackwater gold deposit where an updated National Instrument 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate was recently announced (New Gold news release of July 18, 2012):
