Troy Minerals Reports Ongoing Geophysical Studies
at the Lake Owen Project, Wyoming
Vancouver, B.C. – May 21, 2025 - Troy Minerals Inc. ("Troy" or the "Company") (CSE: TROY;
OTCQB: TROYF; FSE: VJ3) is pleased to report on the processing and interpretation status of the
airborne geophysical survey covering the 100% owned Lake Owen Project (the “Project”), which
is located 50 km southwest of Laramie, Wyoming, USA (see Figure 1, 2).
Covering 1,424 hectares, the project is an exploration asset in the Proterozoic Lake Owen
complex, favorable for titanomagnetite -hosted mineralization. Historically explored for
Platinum Group Elements (PGE), it shows strong potential for vanadium, titanium, PGE, and
other critical minerals.

Recent maiden drilling results by Troy (announced on February 28th, 2025) have confirmed the
presence of high concentrations of vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) and titanium dioxide (TiO₂), along
with the discovery of scandium (a REE metal), significantly enhancing the project’s critical
mineral profile.
Lake Owen is supported by the US Geological Survey (USGS)’s Earth MRI (Earth Mapping
Resources Initiative), which is delivering key geoscientific data and helping reduce exploration
costs. As part of this initiative, a high resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey has
been flown by USGS covering Troy’s Claims and the raw data have become available to the
Company. This federal backing highlights the project’s strategic importance within the US critical
minerals landscape.
Troy has engaged Geophysics One Inc. of Ontario, Canada, to evaluate, process, model and
interpret the magnetic and radiometric data in conjunction with any available in-house
geoscience data provided by the Company.

Key Aspects of the Airborne Geophysical Survey
• The Lake Owen Project area was surveyed by EON Geosciences Inc. for the USGS, using
an airborne total-field magnetic and radiometric method in 2021.
• Most of the 16,400 line-km helicopter survey was flown at 200m intervals, with the Lake
Owen Complex subset infilled at 100m line separation in 2023 (see Figure 3, 4).
• Despite the 100m interval, the nominal altitude was high at 80m, averaging 107.4m
within the property and ranging from 78m to 180m. Overall, the data quality is very
good.
• Emphasis is placed on mapping magnetite-rich zones from the high-resolution magnetic
data due to the area's mineralization being concentrated within cumulus magnetite-rich
layers. Work and interpretation will be completed with enhanced magnetic images
and a 3D magnetic model of the data that reveal remarkably consistent rhythmic
magnetic layers and extending 10 km or more laterally, including the entire length
of the Lake Owen property.
• High magnetization zones aid geological mapping and exploration of the Lake Owen
property, particularly in areas with increased magnetite content and inferred structural
zones.
• The radiometric response from the mafic complex is minimal and will be used only for
mapping purposes, such as identifying cover and defining the Lake Ow en Complex'
extents. However, a few interesting anomalies will be analyzed to provide context for
exploration targeting.
• Geophysics One, beyond general interpretation maps, will provide to Troy all
magnetic and radiometric product maps, as well as 2D & 3D modelling in selected
cases.

The interpretation of the geophysical survey is in progress and the results of the Geophysics One
studies once received will be reported and discussed in another news release in due course.
