Star Metro - Troy Minerals Submits Drilling Permit Application for Table Mountain Silica Project, British Columbia

The permit application details a comprehensive drilling program, requesting approval for a program involving up to 34 drill holes in 2025, totaling approximately 1,700 meters of drilling in the first year, and an additional 20 holes planned in subsequent years, bringing the total to approximately 2,700 meters over the proposed five-year period, with provisions for additional exploration activities as needed. This phased approach enables Troy to methodically advance the Table Mountain project, ensuring alignment with both operational goals and market demand.

Strategic Advancement Towards Production

The submission of this permit application underscores Troy's commitment to expediting the development of the Table Mountain Silica Project. The planned drilling program is designed to delineate high-purity silica resources, providing critical data to support the transition into the production phase.

Yannis Tsitos, President of Troy Minerals, commented: "Submitting our drilling permit application for Table Mountain is a pivotal step in our aggressive strategy to evolve into a cash-flow-producing company. This initiative not only advances our British Columbia asset but also complements our broader portfolio, including the Tsagaan Zalaa Silica Project in Mongolia, as we aim to establish a significant strategic presence in the high-purity silica market in both North American and Asian jurisdictions."

Project Highlights and Next Steps:

• Phased Drilling Program: Authorization for up to 34 drill holes in 2025, focusing on priority targets to define the silica resource, with flexibility for additional drilling in subsequent years.

• Production Timeline: Drilling activities are integral to Troy's goal of initiating production at Table Mountain in the near term, contributing to the Company's transition into a revenue-generating phase.

• Strategic Positioning: The project's proximity to key transportation and infrastructure hubs facilitates access to major markets, aligning with Troy's objective to become a leading supplier of high-purity silica.
