Highlights

-Iron assay results for the first 20 pit samples returned grades ranging from
56.99% Fe to a high of 68.46% Fe in the 1/4 inch or Lump size fraction.


Troy Resources NL ("Troy") advises that the Company, through its wholly owned
Brazilian subsidiary Reinarda Mineracao Ltda ("RML"), has commenced an
exploration evaluation and concept study to determine the viability of mining
colluvial iron ore ("Fe") at its Andorinhas Project leases in Para State in
Brazil.


The current program is focussed on two target areas along strike from the Big
Mac Mine which is owned by a Brazilian company that operates a profitable iron
ore operation on the lease immediately to the northeast of Troy's Andorinhas
Property.


The two areas of focus are the Abacaxi ("Pineapple") Target which is a 2.2km
long (East - West) by 800m wide (North - South) and the Estrela ("Star") Target,
located approx 500m to the west, which has a strike length of 3km (East - West)
and is about 600m in width (North - South) (Refer to map below).


Reconnaissance prospecting by previous explorers focussed on the Estrela Target
north of the Mamao Gold Deposit where limited rock chip grab sampling of coarse
colluvium ore boulders on a scree slope were reported to have assayed up to 69%
iron.


In December 2007, Troy commenced exploration at Abacaxi to determine the volume
and quality of the resource. Troy cut and surveyed a detailed 100m spaced grid
with sample points every 50m along each line. An excavator pit sampling program
is underway with 90 pits excavated of which 65 pits have been sampled to date.
Pits are spaced 100m apart with Rotary Air Blast ("RAB") drill holes completed
every 100m between the pits. The RAB drilling is to define the soil profile
depths. To date, all work has been focussed at Abacaxi and a similar grid based
drilling and pit sampling is planned to follow at Estrela.


Troy intends to calculate a Resource Statement as part of its concept study due
for completion in the second half of 2008. The Troy Board expects to be able to
make a decision as to whether to proceed to commercial mining of the iron ore
following review of the Concept Study.


Troy CEO Paul Benson said, "We are pleased with these early results which
highlight the high grade nature of the iron ore in the initial target area. We
are working diligently to complete the concept study and look forward to
understanding the full potential of the area."


Iron and other Key multi-element XRF analysis for the first 20 pits sampled are
shown in Table 1 below.
