Casposo Exploration Drilling Update Kamila Southeast Trend Inca 1-Inca 2 Gap Target-High Grade ResultS

PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - March 24, 2013) -

Troy Resources Limited ("Troy") (TSX:TRY)(ASX:TRY) is pleased to announce new drill results for the "Inca Gap" at its wholly owned Casposo gold and silver mine in Argentina. The best drill result was CA-13-543 and included 1.10m at 198.01g/t gold and 18,670g/t silver or 509.17g/t Au_Eq from 278.00m.

Commenting on the results Troy CEO Paul Benson said: "These drilling results are particularly pleasing on a number of levels. Obviously there are some very high grades, but more importantly these holes are filling a gap between the Inca 1 and Inca 2 blocks that are already in underground Reserves and are in an area where tunnel development was already planned and thus easy to access. At this stage we expect to add this material to Reserves and Resources later in the year."

"The holes were collared in the hangingwall and also tested the mineralised structure called B-Vein before hitting the INCA structure thus allowing us to continue to define this hangingwall zone. B-vein is currently being mined in the open cut, but to date none of the underground mineralisation has been included in Reserves. Again we now expect to include the underground B-Vein in a Reserve and Resources update later in the year."

In early January 2013, a review of the INCA 1 - INCA 2 Underground Resource identified a 60m-80m drilling gap between the INCA 1 Reserve and the INCA 2 Reserve in the vicinity of post mineral dyke 2. Given that the total strike length of the INCA 2 Reserve is about 240m this 60m-80m drilling gap was highlighted as a priority drill target.

In February 2013, drilling commenced with five holes completed to date. Four of the five holes hit the INCA structure and encountered the quartz vein at the planned target depth. The fifth hole hit the post mineral rhyolite dyke. All of these holes also targeted the B Vein structure in the hangingwall of the INCA Vein.
