TechGen Metals Limited (ACN 624 721 035) (“TechGen” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities completed during the September 2021 Quarter.
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.
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 a second stage RC drilling program of 15 drill holes for 1,389 metres. This second stage RC drilling program was designed to follow-up highly encouraging maiden discovery drill results received by the Company in July 2021. Some of the better inaugural 4m composite 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).
Stage 1 RC drilling previously completed at the project was at the Central Zone only. The recently completed stage 2 drilling program followed up the best mineralised sections at the Central Zones east and west shears which are separated by approximately 500m east to west of a local prominent magnetic high. Drilling also tested soil anomalism at the Southern Anomaly and Northern Anomaly. The +1.3km long Southern Anomaly is the largest soil anomaly identified in the project are and was tested with 5 holes over a 300m length (holes IVRC012 to IVRC016).
Stage 2 drilling intersected rock units which included amphibolite, ultramafic and pegmatite beneath shallow weathering (<20m). Zones of quartz veining were intersected in several holes as well as zones of disseminated pyrite and pyrite veining. The full length of each drill hole has been composite sampled (4m) and submitted to ALS Laboratories for Au and multi-element analysis.

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.
The El Donna Gold Project is considered prospective for gold mineralisation similar to that observed at both the Mayday North Gold Mine, 2km to the north, and the Penny's Find Gold Mine, 3.5km to the south. During the Quarter the Company undertook a 557 sample soil sampling program along east-west sample lines. A review of previous exploration across the project area had indicated that work has concentrated on the central project area with no to minimal exploration undertaken on the western and eastern borders of the project.
The soil samples have been submitted to ALS Laboratories for Au and multi-element analysis.

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 ground EM surveys over two conductors identified from airborne EM surveying and also detailed modelling of the airborne VTEM data over two other conductors. Four conductors of interest have been identified at the Blue Rock Valley Copper Project.
One conductor considered highly significant due to its location adjacent to historic copper workings (Blue Rock Cu Prospect) strikes NW - SE over several hundred metres. Another conductor is larger and also potentially significant as it sits 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 Cu Prospect. Two other 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.
Heritage surveys and drill planning were completed during the Quarter and the Company plans to drill test these high priority targets prior to the end of 2021.

Station Creek Project
The Station Creek Project is located 70km southwest of Paraburdoo in northern Western Australia. The project comprises Exploration Licence E08/2946.
At Station Creek, modelling of VTEM data flown in the previous quarter indicates the presence of several areas of early channel anomalism transitioning to mid-channel 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 (ASX announcement 31[st] May - XRD analysis of a rock sample which returned 54.7% Cu & 257g/t Ag has indicated the presence of copper sulphide and copper arsenate minerals at surface).
Preparation and planning is currently underway to drill test geochemical (high-grade copper, silver and gold rock chip anomalism and soil anomalism) and structural targets at the project area in early 2022.

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.
During the Quarter ground EM surveys were completed over two of the airborne EM bedrock conductors previously identified. The 3rd conductor was modelled from the airborne EM data. The Company is highly encouraged by the conductors location being in areas of favourable geological setting, magnetic and structural complexity.
Preparation and planning is currently underway to drill test the three bedrock conductors identified from EM surveying and other geochemical and structural targets at the project area in early 2022.

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 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.
