TORONTO, ONTARIO–(EMWNews – July 21, 2008) – Western Troy Capital Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:WRY), (“Western Troy”) announced today that it had completed a drilling program at MacLeod Lake. The program, performed in support of the planned feasibility and environmental permitting program, was designed to:

1. Provide samples of ore and waste rock for metallurgical testing.

2. Upgrade the inferred resource in the Main Zone into the indicated category.

3. Drill potential tailings and waste rock storage areas (condemnation drilling).

The program was completed in early June, 1500 kilograms of ore and waste were delivered to SGS Minerals Services (metallurgical laboratory) in Lakefield, Ontario, and core splits were sent for assay to Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario. A significant change in the overall resource is not expected as a result of the inclusion of these new holes. The resource calculation will be updated with the new drill data as part of the ongoing final feasibility work being performed by Genivar of Val d’Or, Quebec. A new resource calculation will be published as soon as it is available from Genivar.

Hole 209 was drilled half way between drill lines 1300 and 1400 and it is the highest grade hole over the longest intercept of any previous hole drilled in at MacLeod Lake. The average grade of this hole over 92.2 meters is 0.629% Copper and 0.152% Molybdenum. Because it was drilled in the center of the Main Zone, the inclusion of hole 209 in the Main Zone resource may result in only a slight increase in the overall grade and tonnage of the deposit. However, the real significance of the hole involves the timing of production as outlined in the Scoping Study recently completed by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates (SWRPA). The mining plan as outlined by SWRPA calls for mining the high grade portions from the center of the Main Zone in the early years. Whereas the life of mine average grade in the mining plan is 0.60% copper and 0.094% Mo, the average grade in the first year is 0.93% copper and 0.130% Molybdenum. This high grade production in the early years generates high cash flow and thus a fast payout for the mine. The addition of hole 209 to the resource should enhance this dynamic.

A total of 26 holes were drilled in the May program. If a hole is not listed, there were no ore grade intercepts in the hole. All of the holes were drilled vertically, so the listed ore intercepts do not reflect the true thickness of the deposit. All holes were drilled on the Main Zone with the exception of holes 213, 214, 215, 218, 219, and 220, which were condemnation holes drilled in areas proposed for tailings and waste storage.

Quality Control

Western Troy has a quality control program in place to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis of drill core. Samples of drill core are sent to the TJCM preparation laboratory in Chibougamau, Quebec, for crushing and sample preparation. The resulting pulps are then sent to Accurassay, Thunder Bay for gold analysis by Atomic Absorption and copper, molybdenum and silver by Induced Couple Plasma Analysis. Accurassay Laboratories employs an internal quality control system that tracks certified reference materials and in-house quality assurance standards. Accurassay Laboratories uses a combination of reference materials, including reference materials purchased from CANMET, standards created in-house by Accurassay Laboratories and tested by round robin with laboratories across Canada, and ISO certified calibration standards purchased from suppliers. Should any of the standards fall outside the warning limits (+/- 2SD); re-assays will be performed on 10% of the samples analyzed in the same batch and the re-assay values are compared with the original values. If the values from the re-assays match original assays the data is certified, if they do not match the entire batch is re-assayed. Should any of the standard fall outside the control limit (+/- 3SD) all assay values are rejected and all of the samples in that batch will be re-assayed.
