Western Troy Capital Resources Inc. announced that it has made application for claims in the Riviere Reboul area in the Gaspe Region of Quebec. The claims straddle the Grand Pabos fault zone, a predominant structural feature in the area.

A Quebec government survey revealed anomalous lithium and rare earth element values in soil samples (Quebec Government Publication MB-88-09). The survey was made to cover the Grand Pabos fault zone which in the past has been known to host gold, silver, lead, zinc mineralization. The Filon Baker (Lac Arseneault) deposit is located on the Grand Pabos fault about 15 km east of the Western Troy claims. Historical (non-43-101) reserves are reported to be 40,000 to 48,000 tones of 15.4 g/t gold, 197 g/t silver, 3.5% zinc and 6.6% lead (SIGEOM a la carte database). There hasn't been significant exploration for lithium or rare earth elements in the area in the past.

The claims acquired by Western Troy have a total 56 samples higher than 44 ppm lithium with a high of 120 ppm. Of the 13,592 B-horizon soil samples taken by the Quebec Government over the years, only 21 have contained greater than 100 ppm lithium. (SIGEOM a la carte database) All 21 of these are located in the Grand Pabos fault region and 8 of them are located on the Western Troy claims. Anomalous values were also detected in lanthanum (158 ppm), cerium (117 ppm), europium (7.2 ppm), samarium (30 ppm), fluorine (1780 ppm), phosphorus (4845 ppm), copper (170 ppm) and zinc (377 ppm).
