Troy Minerals Reports Analytical Results from Table Mountain Silica Project, Identifying Broad High-Purity Zones

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 6, 2025 / Troy Minerals Inc. ("Troy" or the "Company") (CSE:TROY)(OTCQB:TROYF)(FSE:VJ3) is pleased to announce that it has received results from a sampling and mapping program on its 100% owned Table Mountain Silica Project, located near Golden, British Columbia, Canada.

Key Highlights

Three distinct zones of high-purity silica mineralization identified within the Mount Wilson Quartzite Formation.
98.86% SiO₂ over a total of 62.11 metres of channel sampling in five channels at the main Table Mountain Zone.
Outcrop sampling returned 98.18% to 99.74% SiO₂ from 45 samples at Table Mountain Zone, 97.83% to 99.49% SiO₂ from 13 samples at South Zone, and 95.82% to 99.82% SiO₂ from 29 samples at Southeast Zone. *
Very low deleterious elements identified in all samples.

President of Troy Minerals Inc., Yannis Tsitos commented: "These comprehensive maiden assay results validate the potential of Table Mountain as a key high-purity silica asset. Sampling confirmed the exceptional quality and consistency of silica mineralization across the Project. With grades reaching 98 to 99% SiO₂ across multiple zones of extensive outcrop exposure, and sampling ranging from 98.18% to 99.74% SiO₂ at the main Table Mountain Zone, we are rapidly advancing our understanding of this strategic asset. The Project's infrastructure advantages and proximity to existing silica operations further enhance its potential as we work to establish Troy as a significant player in the North American high-purity silica market, positioning the Company for long-term growth."

The sampling program consisted of both systematic grab samples and channel samples, with a total of 110 grab samples (107 outcrop and 3 float) taken within the property area and 70 channel samples collected from 62.11 metres within 74.16 metres of channels.

Outcrop Sampling Results
Three main areas returned significant high-purity silica results: the Table Mountain Zone, located at the north end of the Property, the South Zone, and the Southeast Zone.

The most extensively sampled zone was the Table Mountain Zone, which returned an average grade of 98.90% SiO₂ from 45 grab samples (42 outcrop, 3 float), with values ranging from 98.18% to 99.74% SiO₂. Additionally, from these samples the following average values were returned: 0.31% Fe₂O₃, 0.01% CaO, 0.14% Al₂O₃, 0.02% MgO, 0.01% TiO₂, 0.01% P₂O₅, and 14ppm boron. See Figure 2 and Table 1. *

The remainder of samples were either taken near the contacts of the adjacent units or from non-quartzite outcrops of the adjacent Glenogle shale (east contact) and Beaverfoot dolomite (west contact) and were not included in the statistical summary of the quartzite samples taken.

Channel Sampling Results
Channel sampling was conducted at the Table Mountain Zone, with results consistently similar to the outcrop sampling results. Sampling procedure consisted of continuous chip sampling along a 3-centimetre cut channel. Samples were taken continuously over 1-metre intervals perpendicular to the strike orientation of the outcrop, with the sample sequence starting from the southwest end of the channel. Intervals shorter than 20 centimetres were combined with the previous interval. 66 continuous chip channel samples were collected over 62.11 metres within 74.16 metres in five channels, returning a weighted average of 98.86% SiO₂.

Four additional duplicates were taken as QA/QC checks and passed validation. Sample density is sufficient to indicate the accurate representation of the underlying mineralization.

Discussion
Sampling results within the zones were consistently high purity, with the northern Table Mountain Zone returning the best and most consistent grades. The favourable grades reflect field observations of a broad zone of white quartzite measuring at least 150 metres wide and a strike length extending from the Trans-Canada Highway to the south and to the north, beyond the northern end of the Property, representing a total strike length of at least 4 kilometres. Although the western cliff face of Table Mountain clearly demarcates the western margin of the Mount Wilson Formation quartzite, the eastern margin is obscured by a deep boulder field originating from the extensive, steep quartzite exposure in this area.

Channels sampling results demonstrated a consistency in grade over a wide area within the Table Mountain Zone.

All samples were submitted to ALS Laboratories in North Vancouver, British Columbia for B-MS82L (boron) and ME-XRF26 (all other elements). Four sample duplicates were taken in the channel sampling sequence, and passed QA/QC.

* Cautionary Note

The reader is cautioned that grab samples are selective by nature and may not represent the true grade or style of mineralization across the property.
