Western Troy Stakes Claims on Large Gossan in the Indian Lake Region of Quebec

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 07/06/10 -- Western Troy Capital Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: WRY), has map staked 41 claims on a large gossan (rusty zone) in the Schefferville area of Quebec. The prospect consists of the Indian Lake East property with 29 claims (1,450 hectares) in NTS area 23P/04, the Indian Lake West property with 6 claims (300 hectares) in 23O/01 and the Indian Lake North property consisting of 6 claims in 23O/08 (300 hectares).

The large gossan area was observed by Western Troy's prospecting crew while traveling by helicopter from Schefferville to another prospect in the area. Upon ground investigation, surface conductive zones were detected with the help of geophysical (beep mat) prospecting and trenching. Additional prospecting in the area has revealed bedrock zones with copper (chalcopyrite and bornite) and zinc (sphalerite) mineralization.

A re-analysis of 2 lake bottom sediment samples on the Indian Lake East Group taken by the Quebec Government in 2009 revealed anomalous values in palladium (20-34 ppb), zinc (1039- 1387 ppm), copper (191-227 ppm) and nickel. Past work on the Indian Lake West group uncovered a brecciated zone mineralized with pyrite, pyrhotite and chalcopyrite. Grab samples of the fault breccia assayed 0.74 and 4.24% copper; and 1.50 and 2.19 g/t gold. The quartzite host rock assayed 0.13% copper and 0.7 g/t gold in a grab sample. The grab samples are from Quebec Government Assessment Files GM46223. The area was covered by airborne geophysical surveys in the 1980's. These surveys are being re-interpreted to generate prospecting targets.

Present work consists of visual and beep mat prospecting. Anomalous areas have been trenched and stripped. Limited line cutting and geophysical surveys are being done in select areas of interest. Rock samples have been taken on the property during routine prospecting. These will be sent to a laboratory for base and precious metal determinations.
