Rising Global Demand for Critical Minerals Signals Potential High-Upside Play for Investors

Note: Significant growth scenario may be unfolding for one little-known company…

Here’s why Troy Minerals (CSE: TROY); (OTCQB: TROYF) could be a fast mover.

7 Critical Reasons Why You Should Consider Troy Minerals (CSE: TROY); (OTCQB: TROYF) Today

1

Smart Exposure to a Growing Megatrend – Global demand for strategic minerals, such as high-purity silica, vanadium and titanium is increasing rapidly thanks to the shift toward renewable energy, electric vehicles and advanced technologies. But the markets for these critical minerals are currently dominated by China, meaning that the race is on to bring new supplies online and reduce the West’s dependence on China’s supply.

2

Troy Minerals Boasts an Impressive Portfolio of Assets – With a diverse lineup of four projects in strategic locations, Troy Minerals is well-positioned for growth. The company is aiming to move towards production at its first project – a high-purity silica project in Mongolia – in Q3 2025. The company is also advancing a North American silica project as well as a vanadium/titanium project in Wyoming and a Rare Earth Elements (REE) project in Quebec.**

3

This is Not Your Father’s Mining Company – Unlike gold mining stocks, whose success is often tied to the fluctuating price of gold, strategic industrial metals and minerals operate in a very different market environment. These smaller markets, which are currently seeing increasing demand, often lead to more predictable futures for exploration companies, as offtake agreements can be struck in advance of production.

4

Ideal Timing and Favorable Market Conditions – Demand for strategic metals and minerals is soaring, with silica in especially high demand.ii Simply put, these minerals are desperately needed – from sources other than China – and that means companies showing the potential to bring new supplies online could be handsomely rewarded. And in the midst of this rapidly growing market, Troy Minerals is at an ideal stage, with its first high-purity silica aiming to move towards production within 2025.**

5

Quick to Revenue Projects – Troy Minerals is unique in that at least two of its projects are positioned to generate revenue more quickly than ordinary mining ventures. Unlike, for example, copper projects which can have a ten-year lead time and need massive capital investments in processing plants – thanks to permitting and other issues – from discovery to production, Troy Minerals is well positioned to move quickly on projects with near-term cash flow potential.

6

Troy Minerals Represents an Undervalued Opportunity –

Troy Minerals is trading at a valuation that provides for significant potential growth as its projects advance, using comparisons to other companies focused on silica and other critical metals. For example Homerun Resources (TSXV: HMR) which holds silica projects in Canada and Brazil, has a market cap more than six times greater than Troy Minerals, with Troy Minerals holding not only similar assets in the silica space, but also being well diversified with the vanadium, titanium and REE projects. That exemplifies the potential for short-term valuation growth for early investors with Troy Minerals.

Experienced, Strong Leadership is Guiding this Venture – Troy Minerals is led by a team with decades of industry experience and a strong track record in transformative acquisitions, mining discoveries, project execution and strategic growth. CEO Rana Vig alone has more than 30 years of business experience and has repeatedly delivered value for shareholders. Troy’s new President Yannis Tsitos has more than 35 years of experience in diverse jurisdictions across the globe, including economic mining discoveries, mergers and acquisitions and project development from inaugural drill hole to mineral off-take agreements and sales.

Breaking News: Troy Minerals Submits Drilling Permit Application for Table Mountain Silica Project, British Columbia

On December 11, 2024 Troy Minerals Inc. (CSE: TROY); (OTCQB: TROYF) announced the submission of a drilling permit application for the Table Mountain Silica Project in British Columbia, a key milestone for the company.

Troy Minerals (CSE: TROY); (OTCQB: TROYF) Appears Well Positioned to Offer Significant Upside Potential in Both the Short- and Long-Term

One of 2025’s most attractive “megatrend” opportunities is now unfolding…

 

And it’s happening in a market that has been largely overlooked by the mainstream media.

 

The rapid adoption of electric vehicles, renewable energy and advanced technologies has triggered a growing global megatrend.

Without question, the world’s energy needs are changing rapidly, and as a result global demand for strategic minerals is also increasing.

 

This includes high-purity silica, vanadium and titanium.

According to the experts at Grand View Research, the global market for silica was most recently valued at $49.12 billion…and this market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9% — to $104.34 billion – by 2030.[ii]

 

That’s because silica has proven to be essential for its wide range of applications in things such as high-performance glass, semiconductors, solar panels, concrete, pharmaceuticals and more.

But just as the world is seeing rapidly increasing growth in demand for strategic minerals such as silica…the silica market is largely being controlled by China, which accounts for roughly 70% of global production.[iii]

 

Obviously, given the importance of critical minerals such as silica, the Western world is moving quickly to establish new sources of supply and break free from China’s near-monopoly.

 

For example, the U.S. government recently announced significant investments in silica to bolster domestic production of solar panels and semiconductors.v

 

And Canadian Sinova Global, of the highly successful mining entrepreneur, Sir Mick Davis, is currently investing $150 million to build a state-of-the-art silicon metal production facility in Tennessee.[iv]

 

This push to move away from reliance on Chinese supply means that those companies who show the potential for bringing new supplies online in the near-term could generate a significant amount of attention and potentially see swift increases in valuation.

 

One such company is Troy Minerals Inc. (CSE: TROY); (OTCQB: TROYF).

Troy Minerals is a company that’s positioning itself to be at the forefront of the exploration and development of strategic minerals essential for modern technology and green energy solutions.

 

The process is relatively easy for HPS (High-Purity Silica) rock: Blast – Scoop – Load!

 

The company is currently aiming to move towards near-term production of its strategic minerals silica projects, part of what is fueling the global energy transition.

 

And Troy Minerals is positioning itself to potentially become a key player in the high-purity silica market with projects that offer significant near-term upside potential.

 

With an impressive portfolio of assets – including four strategically-chosen properties – the company aims to do extensive exploration and advancement of its projects to position itself to play an important role in helping the Western world reduce its dependence on foreign supplies of strategic minerals.

 

Troy Minerals following its strategic acquisition of CBGB Ventures in 2024, appears to be in great position for potential investors looking for significant upside potential in 2025. It offers near-term production potential as well as significant blue sky in a market that is seeing an historic surge in demand in all three main jurisdictions, North America, Asia and Europe.ii

 

The company is led by an experienced management team with a proven track record of success and Troy Minerals is in good financial position while its shares still appear to be undervalued.

Troy Minerals is Advancing an Impressive
Portfolio of Strategic Mineral Projects with
Significant Near-Term Upside Potential

Troy Minerals’ projects include the Tsagaan Zalaa silica rock project in Mongolia; the Table Mountain high-purity silica rock project in British Columbia; the Lac St. Jacques Rare Earth Elements (REE) in Quebec Canada, and the Lake Owen vanadium, titanium and iron ore project in Wyoming.

 

These projects were chosen for their significant upside potential as well as their ease of access, all located close to regional infrastructure. Troy Minerals specifically targets high-purity as well as important resources in strategic locations and looks to ensure operational efficiency.

 

To put it another way, unlike more complex mining projects, Troy Minerals is focused on at least two opportunities that offer the potential to simply (1) Blast, (2) Scoop, and (3) Load.

 

Here’s a quick look at their high-purity silica, vanadium and REE projects which appear well positioned for substantial growth:

Project #1: Tsagaan Zalaa Silica Project

Troy Minerals’ (CSE: TROY); (OTCQB: TROYF) Tsagaan Zalaa Silica Project is located in Mongolia, near the China-Mongolia border.

 

The property is strategically positioned next to major high-purity silica-consuming countries which helps reduce transportation costs and simplify supply chain logistics to countries with high levels of demand, including China, Korea and Japan.

 

This property is a significant landholding with a 10-tonne bulk sample reporting 99.98% SiO2 purity after beneficiation with run of mine material. (For more information see news release June 10, 2024). 

 

The geology of the region is key, as the property is in close proximity to other rich deposits of high-purity silica.

 

Project Highlights:

1,670 hectares of property located near a Japanese-owned high-purity silica quarry and refinery that produces and exports high-purity silica to JapanNR

Massive high-purity quartz veins up to 10 meters in width hosted in Upper Middle Devonian sedimentsNR

Minimal overburden and low strip ratio, making extraction cost-effective for the companyNR

Currently completed drilling and environmental studies with Mining License Application being prepared for submission before Feburary 15, 2025 with an aim to be in production targeted within 2025.**

Project #2: Table Mountain Silica Project

In British Columbia, Troy Minerals’ Table Mountain Silica Project is a 1,698-hectare property – with accessible infrastructure including roads, power and natural gas – located 8 km east of Golden, BC Canada.

 

Troy Minerals is working in collaboration with local and regional authorities to ensure efficient project development and production and is aiming a 2026 start for production.**

 

Project Highlights:

High-grade silica – Surface sampling in 2023 in the center of the property returned up to 99.24% SiO averaging 98.62% SiO from nine grab samples collected over a traverse of 180 meters apparent widthNR

Relatively quick permitting process and environmentally friendly mining practices

Fast cash flow potential with production being targeted to start in 2026**

Located on the same lithological unit and in proximity to the Sinova Quartz quarry (six km southwest) and the historic Moberly silica mine (7.5 km northwest)

Project #3: Lake Owen Project

The company’s Lake Owen Project is a 782-hectare prospective vanadium, titanium and iron ore project consisting of 100 mineral claims located approximately 50 km southwest of Laramie Wyoming.

 

Vanadium is an element essential for steel production and is also widely used in advanced energy storage solutions such as redox flow batteries.

The Lake Owen Project has a large potential of semi-massive to massive titanomagnetite with V2O5 and Ti2O. The tops of cumulates (Reefs) has anomalous PGE (Platinum Group Elements)+- Au. Stillwater PGE Reef potential. Basal zones offer massive sulfide potential. Additional rare metals such as Scandium could be present in such a geological environment.

 

Historical drilling by Chevron showed strong PGE mineralization in several of the drill holes.

 

Additionally, the company’s Lake Owen project benefits from the U.S. Geological Survey’s ‘Large-scale Earth MRI’ program, providing geological insights that reduce exploration costs.

Project #4: Lac St. Jacques Rare Earth Project

Troy Minerals’ Lac St. Jacques Project is a 1,169-hectare property with excellent accessibility via roads located 250 km north of Montreal, Quebec.

 

Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are essential in the building of smartphones, electric vehicles, wind turbines and more.

 

Rare Earth Elements mineralization associated with pegmatitic syenite to granite intrusives. 2023 drilling returned 0.25% Total Rare Earth Oxide (“TREO”) over 9 meters including 0.71% TREO over 1 meter (LJ23-01) and 0.26% TREO over 5 meters including 0.62% over 1 meter.NR2

Troy Minerals is Led by an Experienced Leadership Team with a Strong Track Record of Success

With any exploration/production company one of the most important elements of success is the track record of the team leading the way.

 

Investors often find that the most successful investments are those where the leaders have a strong track record of building value for shareholders.

 

And that’s precisely what you’ll find with Troy Minerals.

 

Troy Minerals is led by a team of industry veterans with decades of experience and proven success in transformative acquisitions, discoveries, project execution and strategic growth.

CEO/Director Rana Vig has over 30 years of professional experience and is building shareholder value at companies like Blue Lagoon Resources where their Dome Mountain Mine just received a Draft Mine Permit for gold and silver production. In 2018, he became the chief executive officer of Lead Ventures Inc. and oversaw and executed on the acquisition and $5-billion-plus reverse takeover of Curaleaf Holdings Inc., which raised $520-million. Also, in 2018, he took the helm of Rockbridge Resources, which he successfully restructured by acquiring, through a reverse takeover, the $2-billion-plus Harvest Health & Recreation, which closed a $300-million financing.

President Yannis Tsitos has over 35 years of experience in the mining industry, having spent 19 of those years with the BHP Billiton group. In his time in the industry, he has lived and worked in South Africa, Ecuador, Greece and United Kingdom, and has been working in Canada since 2000.

 

He has been instrumental in the identification, negotiation and execution of more than 50 exploration agreements over 11 different commodities with juniors, majors, as well as with state exploration and mining companies. Mr. Tsitos has also been part of two discovery teams with BHP Billiton in porphyry-copper and nickel-sulphide deposits.

 

On the industrial minerals industry in the last decade, Mr. Tsitos, his partners and their team at First Bauxite Corporation discovered the Bonasika Bauxite deposit (one of the highest average bauxite grade deposits in the world) in Guyana, South America, which is now in production, exporting high quality bauxite to Europe, Americas and China.

Director Norman Brewster has enjoyed a mineral industry career that includes serving on various company boards, financing, and developing the Aguas Tenidas Mine in Spain, and negotiating the purchase of the Condestable Mine in Peru. He also led the committee in reviewing the successful acquisition of Iberian Minerals Corp. by Trafigura Group Pte. Ltd. in an all-cash takeover valued at around $497.8 million.

Bill Cronk, P.Geo, an American geologist with very long experience in the exploration and mining industry has worked with mining leaders such as Dundee Precious Metals and Northern Empire, acquired by New York listed Coeur Mining. In addition, Troy’s contractual collaboration with external technical groups like the European based Mine+ and Canadian based Claimhunt teams provide an exceptional breadth into the metals and minerals exploration and development industry.
