Troilus Gold Corp. reported excellent metallurgical recovery results for the Southwest Zone as part of an ongoing pilot plant scale metallurgical testing program on each of the main mineral deposits at its 100%-owned Troilus Project, located in northcentral Quebec, Canada. Approximately 9 tonnes (9,000 kg) of sample material, 3 tonnes from the three main mineral zones (Zone Z87, J Zone and Southwest Zone) were sent to Eriez's metallurgical test facility in Erie, Pennsylvania, last year to validate the recovery of gold, copper and silver using standard gravity and column flotation technology.

The results of these test programs will be used to support the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study, as well as future economic studies. Southwest Zone Test Program Overview and Results: An 3 tnnne (3,000 kg) composite sample of mineralized material from the Southwest Zone, preparedsing coarse asassay rejects from the various domains of the entire mineralized zone was provided to Eriez for testing. Overall copper recovery of 93.5%, gold recovery of 88.3%, and silver recovery of 89.4% was achieved in combined gravity separation and rougher-scavenger-cleaners column flotation, an industry standard processing method.

-- These results are consistent and generally exceed the recoveries used in the Preliminary Economic Assessment, where the recoveries for copper and gold were 90% and silver was 40%.
