TechGen Metals Limited (ACN 624 721 035) (“ TechGen ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to inform the market that an RC drilling program has commenced at the Company's 100% owned Ida Valley Gold Project in Western Australia. The project is located in between the Agnew-Lawler’s and Mount Ida Mining Districts approximately 80km northwest of Leonora. The Ida Valley Gold Project consists of Exploration Licences E29/1053, E36/979 and E36/1015 covering a combined area of 199km[2 ] securing 100% of the newly identified greenstone belt.

This second stage RC drilling program is designed to follow-up highly encouraging maiden discovery drill results received by the Company in July 2021. Some of the better inaugural RC results included: 8m @ 2.30 g/t Au from 36m (Hole IVRC003 which included 4m @ 4.02g/t Au ), 8m @ 1.25g/t Au from 20m (Hole IVRC001), 36m @ 0.95g/t Au from 52m (Hole IVRC002) and 4m @ 1.63g/t Au from 52m (Hole IVRC011).

The previous drilling (stage 1) at the project was completed at the Central Zone only. The current drilling program, in addition to follow-up drilling at the Central Zone, will also test soil anomalism at the Southern Anomaly and Northern Anomaly. The +1.3km long Southern Anomaly is the largest soil anomaly identified in the project area and is untested by drilling. The drilling program is again being undertaken by Kalgoorlie based drilling company Australian Surface Exploration (WA) Pty Ltd.
