High Grade Intercepts Drilled in April
24
Note the quoted gold equivalent grade assumes a conversion of 70:1 for converting silver to gold equivalent.
This is a conservative approach to enable comparisons to the reserve published in 2010. The ratio of 70:1 assumes the differential metallurgical recoveries assumed in the NI43101 Report produced in 2010 and the metal prices assumed at that time.Because silver prices have risen proportionally more than gold prices, this ratio is increasingly conservative for high silver grade intercepts.Using the same assumptions for metallurgical recoveries but current prices of:
Au – US$1500/oz andAg – US$35/oz
Gives a conversion ratio of 50:1 to convert silver to gold.The impact can be seen for hole CA-11-3005.4m @ 8.18 g/t Au and 2,607 g/t Ag
Was reported as 45.43 g/t Au_eq assuming a conversion ratio for silver to gold of 70:1
The grade would be 60.3g/t Au_eq if the conversion ratio of 50:1 was assumed.

Julieta SE Drilling
28
Julieta is a target on the main North West – South East structural corridor – some 5kms from the Kamila deposit and at approximately 1000m higher altitude.
Troy established a small low-grade Resource in 2010 based on relatively shallow drilling.
268,700t grading 3.21g/t gold and15.44g/t silver (3.43g/t Au_eq) for 29,700 Au_eq ounces at a cut-off grade of 1g/t Au_eq.
In 2011 we have commenced a program of deeper drilling attempting to find zones of higher grade.F

These higher grade results are strategically important because:
Although at depth, the topography is such that underground access could be gained by a short aditfrom the side of the hill thus lowering the hurdle in terms of size to justify development.
Only 7km haul distance to the Casposo plant.
We now have ore grade intercepts 5kms apart on the NW-SE structural corridor and ~4kms of this is covered by a thin layer of volcaniclastics.
Commenced planning airborne and ground geophysics with the aim of defining drill targets below the cover.

Qualifying Statements

1. Au_eq grade calculated using a gold to silver ratio of 1:70. As per May 2010 Current Casposo NI-43101 Technical ReportThe gold equivalent cut-off was determined according to the parameters below:
• Au/Ag ratio 1:70.00• Au Price US$933.33/oz• Ag Price US$15.50/oz• Au processing recovery 93.7%• Ag processing recovery 80.6%
Gold equivalency is determined by metal price and recovery factors. Metal prices were the average prices assumed in the Casposo life of mine plan. Processingrecoveries were determined by metallurgical testwork carried out by independent consultants on diamond drill core from Casposo.The equivalency is calculated by the formula - Gold: Silver ratio:
= (gold price ÷ silver price) x (gold recovery ÷ silver recovery)= (933.33 ÷ 15.5) x (.937 ÷ .806)= 70.00
Gold equivalency is calculated by the formula: Au_eq g/t = Au g/t + (Ag g/t ÷ 70.00)
2. NSR – No Significant Results All samples were prepared and assayed by Alex Stewart (Assayers) Argentina Laboratory in Mendoza Argentina.3. Gold by FA and either a gravimetric or AAS finish, using method gold 4-50 or gold 4A 50 for samples with gold>10g/t4. Silver by three techniques: four-acid digestion followed by AAS reading for check samples up to February 2006, aqua regia digestion followed by inductively
coupled plasma with optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) reading for all samples in mineralised intersections after February 2006. Method numbers wereGMA, ICP-AR-39 and silver 4A-50.
