Troy Minerals has completed a soil sampling program on its REE Lac Jacques project in Quebec. The sampling extended the surveyed area from the Western Grid toward the Eastern Grid. A total of 312 B-soil samples were collected and are now submitted for analysis at ACT Labs. The results are expected to help define drill targets for the upcoming summer drill program in 2024, which plans to include eight holes totaling 3200 meters. Chief Geologist William Cronk emphasized the importance of these results in verifying the REE system's potential. CEO Rana Vig highlighted the increasing global demand for rare earth elements and the strategic importance of stable supply chains, noting recent actions by the Canadian government. The project is located 250 km north of Montreal and has undergone initial surveys and a 4-hole drill program in 2023.

Troy Minerals has announced its congratulations to Homerun Resources for developing a femtosecond thermal laser processing method that achieves 99.999% purity in raw silica sand. This breakthrough, achieved in collaboration with the University of California, Davis, marks a significant advancement in the field of critical and energy materials. The new method is environmentally friendly, avoiding the use of hazardous chemicals and energy-intensive machinery. Applications for this high-purity silica include semiconductor chip substrates, electronic and photonic chips, battery anodes, and solar cells. Troy Minerals' President and CEO, Rana Vig, highlighted the importance of such innovations in driving industry progress.

Troy Minerals has announced the recognition of silica as a critical mineral by the Canadian government, strengthening its position in the critical minerals sector. The company is set to acquire CBGB Ventures, which manages two high-purity silica projects: Table Mountain in Canada and Tsagaan Zalaa in Mongolia. With silica's importance in modern tech and green energy, Troy aims to lead in the $30 billion high-purity quartz silica market by 2030.

To expedite project advancement, Troy plans to raise $3 million through non-brokered private placements. A $2 million offering includes 8 million units at $0.25 each, with attached warrants, while a $1 million flow-through unit offering includes 3.57 million units at $0.28 each. Closing is contingent on regulatory approvals.

Troy also engaged Lakefront Enterprises for a 30-day digital marketing campaign, costing $50,000, to boost corporate visibility.

Troy Minerals (CSE:TROY, OTCQB:TROYF, FSE:VJ3) has signed a binding letter of intent to acquire CBGB Ventures Corp., a company with interests in two high-purity silica projects located in British Columbia and Mongolia. This acquisition aligns with Troy's strategy to diversify its critical minerals portfolio. The transaction involves issuing 6,488,303 common shares and 6,488,303 special warrants to CBGB shareholders, with some shares subject to hold and escrow provisions. The two projects, Table Mountain Silica Project in B.C. and Tsagaan Zalaa Silica Project in Mongolia, have shown high SiO2 purity levels, important for microchips and green technologies, particularly solar photovoltaics. This acquisition aims to capitalize on the growing demand for silica in North America and Europe, driven by concerns over China's dominance in silicon production. The integration of these projects is expected to enhance Troy's ability to generate cash flow and self-fund future exploration activities.

Troy Minerals has received final permits for the 2024 drilling campaign at the Lake Owen Project in Wyoming. The Lake Owen Complex, identified by the US government as a potential source of strategic metals like vanadium, titanium, PGE, and copper-nickel sulfides, underwent extensive geophysical surveys by USGS and Wyoming Geologic Survey at no cost to the company. Expected to begin drilling by the end of June or early July 2024, the program aims to test high-grade targets, including magnetite-rich gabbro with potential for significant mineralization. Results from the USGS survey will be announced soon.
