TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Feb. 20, 2006) - Western Troy Capital Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:WRY) announced today that it is planning a 2,000 to 3,000 meter drilling program at its McLeod Lake copper/molybdenum project in Northern Quebec. The program is designed to test existing IP targets ("Blue Dot" and Northeast Zones), to drill step out holes near high grade intercepts in the South Zone, and to expand the resource in the Main Zone. The drilling program is scheduled to begin in March.
An IP (Induced Polarization geophysics) program was initiated in early February and all of the lines were cut. However, the aircraft landing area on the lake became unsafe due to rising slush and it was necessary to suspend work on the program. It has been decided to delay completion of the IP program until the drill crews go to the property in March. Expected improved ice conditions at that time should allow safe aircraft operation and the completion of the IP program.
Western Troy Capital Resources Inc. is a mineral exploration company. Its 100%-owned MacLeod Lake Property hosts a well defined Main Zone of mineralization as outlined by extensive drilling, as well as the South Zone and several IP anomalies of potential interest. The shares of Western Troy trade on the TSX-Venture exchange under the symbol WRY, with 6,886,620 shares outstanding. Last October, Western Troy received an independent Technical Report consistent with National Instrument 43-101 on its MacLeod Lake Property located about 275 km north of Chibougamau, Quebec.
