Troymet Announces $500,000 Private Placement and Review of Strategic Alternatives

November 28, 2011 Troymet Exploration Corp. (“Troymet”), is pleased to announce that Troymet intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to $500,000 consisting of a combination of units (“Units”) issued at a price of $0.055 per Unit and common shares issued on a “flow-through” basis at a price of $0.075 per common share. Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of Troymet (a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each full Warrant is exercisable for one year from closing into one Common Share at $0.15 per share. A finder’s fee of up to 8% of the gross proceeds of the private placement may be paid in cash or Common Shares on all or any portion of this private placement. Additionally, finder’s warrants, exercisable into Common Shares of Troymet, may be issued in an amount up to 8% of the number of Units and flow-through Common Shares sold under this private placement. The finder’s warrants will be exercisable into Common Shares at a price of $0.055 per Common Share for a period of one year from the date of issuance of the finder’s warrants.

It is not anticipated that any new insiders will be created, nor that any change of control will occur, as a result of the private placement. Completion of the private placement is subject to regulatory approval.

Proceeds of the private placement will be used for Troymet’s exploration programs at the Key and Golden Eagle properties in British Columbia, the McClarty Lake property in Manitoba, the strategic alternatives review (discussed below) and for general corporate purposes.

Closing of the financing is anticipated to occur on or around December 20, 2011.
