GreenTech Metals Ltd (ASX: GRE), (‘GreenTech’ or 'the Company') is pleased to announce its commencement of trading on the ASX, having successfully raised $5m in a strongly supported IPO .
Thomas Reddicliffe, Executive Director, commented:
"GreenTech is extremely pleased with its IPO capital raising. The Company has consolidated a highly prospective package of projects in Western Australia, focussing on commodities that will address the strong demand from the EV and renewable energy sectors. GreenTech is well-funded to undertake extensive and high-impact exploration programs over the next two years, with an immediate focus at the Whundo Copper-Zinc project, and to explore for new nickel deposits in this highly prospective region.
“The Company has secured an RC drill rig to commence at Whundo this month, with the near-term focus being to test multiple drill-ready targets aimed at growing the existing JORC compliant resource of 2.7Mt @ 1.14% Cu and 1.14% Zn (for 30,000t contained copper and 30,000t contained zinc).”
In Western Australia, the Company has assembled a highly prospective multi-commodity land package situated in the prolific mineral fields of the West Pilbara, the Fraser Range and the Windimurra igneous complex ( Figure 1 ).

Upcoming work programs
GreenTech has secured an RC drill rig to undertake a substantial drill program which will commence at the Whundo copper-zinc project this month. The program will aim to:
-
drill test the down dip extensions to known resources at the adjacent Whundo and West Whundo open pits;
-
drill to quantify and upgrade known mineralisation at the Yannery and Ayshia copper-zinc prospects;
-
drill test VTEM/MLEM conductor targets within and in proximity to the Whundo prospective corridor;
-
drill test the chargeable and resistive target trend identified between Yannery and Ayshia prospects (Figure 2); and
-
drill testing of 3 VTEM/MLEM conductor plates modelled at <100m depth and in proximity to the known Ruth Well copper-nickel resource

The Whundo copper-zinc project is located ~40km south-southwest of Karratha in the West Pilbara Region of Western Australia, covering an area of approximately 9 km². Historically, mining took place for copper in an open pit by Whim Creek Consolidated NL in 1976, producing approximately 6,700 tonnes at 27.4% copper. Whundo has a JORC 2012 mineral resource of 2.7Mt @ 1.14% Cu and 1.14% Zn for 30Kt contained copper and 30Kt contained Zinc.
Ruth Well Project – Nickel (100%)
The Ruth Well nickel project is located ~15km south of Karratha in the West Pilbara Region of Western Australia, covering an area of approximately 58km[2] . Ruth Well contains a JORC 2012 resource of 152,000t @ 0.5% Cu and 0.6% Ni (0.3% Ni cut-off). GreenTech believes that the depth and strike potential at Ruth Well remains untested.
