Troy Minerals Inc. announced details of the planned 2024 winter/spring drill program at the Lac Jacques rare earth element (REE) property. The 100% owned Lac Jacques property is located approximately 250km north of Montreal Quebec, Canada and approximately 40km northeast of the town of St. Anne du Lac.

The Company is in the final stages of permitting to begin diamond drilling on the Property. Eight drill sites have been selected based on soil geochemistry and the recently received airborne geophysical data. Widely-spaced drill sites in the Western Grid area (Pads 1 to 5) will test 2.3 km of strike along the inferred dyke structure focused on the strongly anomalous soil geochemistry and pronounced magnetic high.

Drilling from Pad 8 is intended to test the core of the magnetic high feature. In the Eastern Grid area, drilling is intended to test an exposed dyke as well as a strong magnetic anomaly with a notable north-south trending break (Pads 6 and 7). Soil geochemistry is spotty in this area and not immediately correlatable to the geophysical response.

Additional soil sampling is planned for later this year. Final geochemical results are still pending for the 2023 drill program, This drilling targeted the discovery trench and immediate strike extend intersecting primarily variably textured intrusives ranging from medium-grained to pegmatitic syenitic and granitic intrusives.
