Western Troy Announces Preliminary Results of Airborne Geophysical Survey at Its Deborah Lake Copper/Gold Prospect
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/29/10 -- Western Troy Capital Resources (TSX VENTURE: WRY) (Western Troy or the Company) announces that preliminary results have been received from Fugro Airborne on the Deborah Lake airborne electromagnetic survey. The airborne survey was performed in December and consisted of an electro-magnetic (time domain EM) survey over the 199 claims that make up the Deborah Lake property. A full report on the survey will be available from Fugro in January, 2011.
A total of 632 line-kilometres were flown to cover the claims plus 65 line-kilometres of infill surveying in areas of known mineralization. In 2010 a detailed, regional magnetic survey was flown by Fugro for the Quebec and Federal government in the vicinity of Deborah Lake. This data will be combined with the EM survey to provide the basis for a full analysis of the prospect area.
The conductive zones detected by the survey were found to occur in a concentric pattern around intrusive rocks (green areas on Figure 1) that have been mapped as mafic to ultramafic intrusive rocks occurring as gabbros and peridotites.

Three grab samples were taken at the Deborah Lake property in October. Copper values obtained were 0.19%, 0.25% and 5.07%. The corresponding gold values were 0.01, 0.30 and 0.39 g/t.

The sample in Figure 2 consists of what appears to be a breccia zone flooded with chalcopyrite. The quartz clasts also contain chalcopyrite indicating that there may be at least 2 phases of mineralization that have occurred at Deborah Lake property.
Future plans include camp construction in January-February and Diamond Drilling in March-April 2011.
