==> picture [595 x 84] intentionally omitted <==

The Company is a highly active junior explorer with 100% ownership of seven gold and copper exploration projects which are strategically located in the Yilgarn Craton, Ashburton Basin and Paterson Orogen regions of Western Australia. The spread of projects across three highly prospective geographical regions provides the Company with geographical and operational diversification.

TechGen's Managing Director Mr Ashley Hood commented: "It has been a great achievement to get our ASX listing finalised during the quarter, and I wanted to take the opportunity to thank our shareholders and advisors who assisted with the listing process. Since listing, we have been active in the field completing three airborne EM surveys, two RC drilling programs, a soil sampling program as well as heritage surveys, further tenement applications and geological field work at some of our project areas. The results of our exploration efforts to date have returned highly encouraging bedrock gold mineralisation confirmed by RC drilling at the Ida Valley Project and potentially significant bedrock conductors having been identified across the Ashburton Basin Projects."

COMPANY PROJECTS

Yilgarn Craton Projects

The Archean-age Yilgarn Craton is Australia's premier gold and nickel province and is located in the southern half of Western Australia. The Craton consists of oval shaped areas of granite rocks fringed by arcuate greenstone belts and has been divided into a number of geological terranes which are separated by significant regional-scale faults. The Company considers its Yilgarn Craton Projects to be prospective for gold mineralisation.

Ida Valley Project

The Ida Valley Project is located 90km northwest of Leonora in the Goldfields Region of Western Australia. The project consists of three Exploration Licences, namely E29/1053, E36/979 and E36/1015, located within the Kalgoorlie Terrane of the Yilgarn Craton.

During the Quarter the Company completed an RC drilling program, soil sampling program and applied for a new Exploration Licence to extend the project area.

A maiden RC drilling program of 11 RC drill holes for a total of 990m was completed to test areas of soil gold anomalism and rock chip gold anomalism previously identified by the Company. The assay results from the drilling program have confirmed a new gold discovery at Ida Valley with four out of eleven drill holes returning assays of greater than 1g/t Au. Gold mineralisation is from surface, remains open at depth and along strike and is associated with laminated quartz veining, arsenopyrite and pyrite within amphibolite and ultramafic rock units. The best composite assay results returned included:

  • 8m @ 2.30g/t Au from 36m which included 4m @ 4.02g/t Au from 40m (Hole IVRC003)

  • 8m @ 1.25g/t Au from 20m (Hole IVRC001)

  • 36m @ 0.95g/t Au from 52m (Hole IVRC002) which included 4m @ 1.41g/t Au from 60m, 4m @ 1.26g/t Au from 72m & 4m @ 2.63g/t Au from 84m and

  • 4m @ 1.63g/t Au from 52m (Hole IVRC011).

The geology, alteration and veining observed in the drilling program was significant enough for the Company to apply for another Exploration Licence, E36/1015, covering an area of 85km[2 ] to extend the existing Ida Valley Project area. The new application area contains localised magnetic highs along fault structures that are similar in appearance to the main area of soil and rock chip gold anomalism where RC drilling has confirmed the presence of bedrock gold mineralisation.

The Company also completed a soil sampling program consisting of 1,220 samples taken along east-west sample lines stepping out to the north and south of the central area where previous soil and rock chip sampling identified gold anomalism and the RC drilling program was completed. At the end of the quarter these assay results were still pending.

El Donna Project

The El Donna Project is located 50km northeast of Kalgoorlie in the Goldfields Region of Western Australia. The project consists of a single Exploration Licence E27/610 located within the Kurnalpi Terrane of the Yilgarn Craton.

During the Quarter the Company reported rock chip sampling assay results from the Star Prospect, completed an RC drilling program and undertook a heritage survey.

A small rock chip sampling program (11 samples) was completed at the Star Prospect. The Star Prospect consists of shallow historic gold workings oriented in a line extending over approximately 40m. Quartz vein and iron-rich material was sampled. The assay results returned included a maximum high-grade result of 250g/t Au as well as other anomalous results such as 23g/t Au , 4.62g/t Au and 0.95g/t Au .

A maiden RC drilling program of 11 drill holes for a total of 1,346m was completed. Eight drill holes were completed at the El Donna 7 Prospect and three drill holes were completed at the Star Prospect. The best composite assay results returned included:

  • 8m @ 1.3g/t Au from 56m (Hole ELRC003) and

  • 8m @ 1.0g/t Au from 84m (Hole ELRC004).

==> picture [595 x 84] intentionally omitted <==

Ashburton Basin Projects

The Ashburton Basin is a northwest trending arcuate belt of Proterozoic-age sedimentary and volcanic rocks which forms the northern part of the Capricorn Orogen. The Capricorn Orogen is a major tectonic zone, 1,000km long and 500km wide located between the Archean Yilgarn and Pilbara Cratons of Western Australia. The Company considers its Ashburton Basin Projects to be prospective for both gold and base metal mineralisation.

==> picture [488 x 335] intentionally omitted <==

Figure: Location of the Ashburton Basin Projects.

Blue Rock Valley Project

The Blue Rock Valley Project is located 175km west of Paraburdoo in northern Western Australia. The project comprises two Exploration Licences, E08/3030 and E08/3276.

During the Quarter the Company undertook a heliborne Versatile Time Domain Electro Magnetic (VTEM Max) geophysical survey which consisted of 928 line kilometres of surveying with nominal 200m spacings between flight lines. Preliminary data has been received and reviewed by Southern Geoscience Consultants, confirming the successful identification of three quality strong, late time, bedrock conductors. Two of the conductors are localised, late time, conductors present on a single flight line, in favourable structural and geological settings on or adjacent to mapped structures/fold axial traces. The third conductor is larger and potentially more significant has been identified over three flight lines adjacent to a structural flexure/bend within the regional Talga Fault. The Talga Fault is believed to be the structural conduit responsible for historic copper oxide mineralisation at the Blue Rock Prospect also located within the project area.

==> picture [595 x 84] intentionally omitted <==

Station Creek Project

The Station Creek Project is located 70km southwest of Paraburdoo in northern Western Australia. The project comprises Exploration Licence E08/2946.

During the Quarter an airborne VTEM Max survey was completed consisting of 280 line kilometres of surveying with nominal 200m spacings between flight lines and 100m spacings on infill flight lines. Preliminary data has identified the presence of several areas of early channel anomalism transitioning to midchannel induced polarisation (IP) effects. In addition, at Station Creek the results of the airborne magnetics survey undertaken at the same time as the VTEM survey indicates a magnetic high coincident with a northwest - southeast trending fault and an area of previous high-grade copper, silver and gold rock chip anomalism.

Mt Boggola Project

The Mt Boggola Project is located 60km south of Paraburdoo in Western Australia. The project comprises two Exploration Licences, E08/2996 and E08/3269.

An airborne VTEM Max survey was completed during the Quarter at the Mt Boggola Project consisting of 317 line kilometres of surveying with nominal 200m spacing between flight lines with 100m infill spaced flight lines. The preliminary VTEM data has confirmed the presence of three strong and discrete late time bedrock conductors. The conductors are present across all EM channel data (Early, Mid & Late time channels). The Company is highly encouraged by the conductors location being in areas of favourable geological setting, magnetic and structural complexity.

Paterson Orogen Projects

The Proterozoic-aged Paterson Orogen contains Telfer, one of Australia's largest gold deposits, the Kintyre Uranium deposit and the Nifty Copper Mine. The Orogen can be subdivided into two major packages of rocks. The older package is the Rudall Complex and the younger package is subdivided into the Lamil Group, Throssell Group and Tarcunyah Group. The Paterson Orogen has seen a high level of recent exploration activity following the discovery of the Havieron Au-Cu deposit in 2018 by Greatland Gold Plc and the discovery of the Winu Cu-Au deposit by Rio Tinto Ltd in 2019. The Company considers its Paterson Orogen Projects to be prospective for intrusive related copper-gold and sediment hosted base metal (copper-lead–zinc–silver) style mineralisation.

Harbutt Range Project

The Harbutt Range Project is located 320km east of the town of Newman on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert in Western Australia. The project comprises two granted Exploration Licences, namely E45/5294 and E45/5439.

The Harbutt Range Project lies within the Rudall Complex, the older portion of the Paterson Orogen. Several untested geophysical targets, EM and IP, are known within the project area.

Activities during the Quarter included field visits to target areas, modelling of historic geophysical data and planning of ground EM surveys.

North Nifty Project

The North Nifty Project is located approximately 250km northeast of Newman in Western Australia. The project comprises two Exploration Licences, E45/5506 and E45/5511, which were granted during the Quarter.

The North Nifty Project lies within the Throssell Group, the younger portion of the Paterson Orogen. The Project has experienced limited exploration with exploration to date focusing on the Hakea Prospect, a broad copper anomaly identified initially by lag sampling.

No field activities were undertaken at the project during the Quarter.
