OTCQB: TROYF; FSE: VJ3) is pleased to announce a significant milestone in its ongoing

development of the Tsagaan Zalaa Silica Project in Mongolia. With the next phase of drilling

now underway, the Company aims to complete the minimum 1,000 meters cumulaYve drill

program, the required threshold for its mining license submission. It should be noted that the

silica mineralizaYon at Tsagaan Zalaa is either outcropping or sub-outcropping, resulYng is

relaYvely shallow drilling campaigns. The Company expects to complete drilling before year-

end, se]ng the stage for Troy’s mining license submission.

Located strategically near the Mongolian-Chinese border, the Tsagaan Zalaa Silica Project

conYnues to present robust opportuniYes for growth in the silica sector, driven by rising

demand from green technology and other high-tech industries. The Company remains focused

on delivering the necessary operaYonal milestones, aligning with its commitment to achieving

first producYon in the coming year .

“This addiYonal drilling is a criYcal step in advancing T sagaan Zalaa to the producYon stage,”

said Rana Vig, President and CEO of Troy Minerals. “By meeYng the requirements for our

mining license, we will conYnue progressing towards our goal of producYon in 2025, ulYmately

generaYng substanYal value for our stakeholders and contribuYng to the global supply of high-

purity silica for green technologies.”

Project Development Milestones:

• Drilling Comple8on: The compleYon of the 1,000 meters drill program is expected to

be reached by the end of 2024, with this phase concluding the final project technical

geological studies essenYal for license submission.

• Environmental Studies Completed: Project environmental field studies, inclusive of

archaeological and paleontological studies have successfully been completed in

October 2024. Thus, final environmental reports are in progress.

• Mining License Applica8on: CompleYon of this targeted drilling in associaYon with

already completed trenching, sampling and geological mapping, will facilitate the

mining license applicaYon, anYcipated to be submiced promptly, allowing Troy to

transiYon into the producYon stage within 2025.

• Strategic Project Posi8oning: The Tsagaan Zalaa project’s proximity to a Japanese-

operated silica mine underscores its favorable locaYon to supply Asia’s burgeoning

high-purity silica market.

With these advancements, Troy Minerals reaffirms its commitment to establish itself as a

leading supplier in the silica industry, serving the needs of rapidly growing green energy and

advanced technology sectors. The Company’s operaYonal focus on Tsagaan Zalaa strengthens

its strategic objecYve to establish itself as a supplier of high-purity silica and target producYon
