ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

(ASX: TG1)

20[th] October 2021

SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION OF THE BLUE ROCK VALLEY COPPER PROJECT TO OVER 1,000KM[2]

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • BLUE ROCK VALLEY COPPER PROJECT SUBSTANTIALLY EXPANDED WITH THE PEGGING OF NEW APPLICATIONS E08/3453 AND E08/3454

  • THESE NEW APPLICATIONS ARE ALONG STRIKE FROM THE KNOWN EM ANOMALIES AND HISTORIC COPPER WORKINGS THAT COVER THE REGIONALLY SIGNIFICANT TALGA FAULT ZONE

  • HIGHLY PROSPECTIVE ASHBURTON PROJECT AREAS NOW COVER 1,113 SQUARE KILOMETRES

TechGen Metals Limited (ACN 624 721 035) (“TechGen” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities including new applications at the Company's 100% owned Blue Rock Valley Copper Project located in the Ashburton Basin of Western Australia. The Company has recently made two new Exploration Licence Applications (E08/3453 & E08/3454) which are contiguous with the current project area and are along strike from known EM anomalies and the historical Blue Rock copper shafts which recently returned an impressive 49.9% Cu rock-chip sample (refer to ASX announcement 13[th] October 2021) and cover portions of the regionally significant Talga Fault Zone (a deep mantle tapping regionally significant fault zone; Figure 1).

The addition of these two new Exploration Licence Applications (E08/3453 & E08/3454) increases the Blue Rock Valley Copper Project area from 202 km[2] to 880 km[2] and increases the Company's Ashburton Basin holdings (Blue Rock Valley, Station Creek & Mt Boggola Projects) to a combined area of 1,113 km[2] .

TechGen’s Managing Director Mr Ashley Hood noted : “The significance of the Company’s >1000 km[2] strategic expansion in the highly prospective underexplored Ashburton region is an important investment opportunity not to be missed.”

“The new application areas include the primary Talga Fault Zone which runs through the middle of the Blue Rock Valley Project area. This fault is a regionally significant, deep, mantle tapping structure and is highly prospective for shear-zone hosted mineralisation.”

“TechGen’s ability to control circa 80km length of continuous strike along a primary fault known to carry mineralisation is a significant opportunity and places the Company amongst some of its top tier piers that also control belt -scale regions.”

“The new application areas were previously held by Western Mining Corporation in the mid 1990’s and have seen little to no modern exploration. Given the advancement in geoscience technologies, the Company’s expanded holding of the primary Talga Fault Zone contact between two geological boundaries ensures that our shareholders do not miss potential value creating opportunities especially during all time high copper and other base metal prices (largely driven on the back of the battery and electric vehicle revolution, not to mention the ever-increasing gap between supply verses demand).”

The Company looks forward to providing further updates across its 100% owned highly prospective coppergold project portfolio in Western Australia.
