NEWS RELEASE

DIAMOND EXPLORATION UNDERWAY AT BUFFALO HILLS

Calgary, Alberta May 21, 1998

Troymin Resources Ltd. (TYR-ME,ASE) is pleased to announce that it
has been informed by Monopros Limited, a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary
of De Beers, the world's leading diamond producer, that exploration activities
are underway at Buffalo Hills. Pursuant to the terms of an agreement
announced earlier, Monopros will have the right to earn up to a 60% interest
in Troymin's Buffalo Hills Diamond Prospect located in northern Alberta.

The Buffalo Hills Diamond Prospect comprises five strategically located
blocks of permits totalling approximately 1.0 million acres on the Buffalo Head
Craton which hosts Alberta's only diamondiferous kimberlite pipes. Since the
initial discovery in early 1997, a total of 23 kimberlite pipes have been found by
the Ashton group in an ongoing exploration drilling and bulk sampling program
in this area.

Monopros, as operator of the joint venture, has advised Troymin that an
eight person crew has been mobilized to Peace River to commence a detailed
sediment sampling program. Most of the work at this time will be concentrated
on the Bison Lake and Trout Mountain blocks which are more proximal to the
Ashton kimberlites and where glacial overburden is believed to be thinner.

Subject to ground accessibility, geophysical surveys are planned in June over
a number of high priority high resolution airborne magnetic anomalies to define
prospective targets for a summer drilling program.
