WA will soon be home to the longest electric
highway in Australia with the State announcing 45
locations and 90 charging stations for electric
vehicles connecting Perth and regional WA. This
announcement from Minister Bill Johnston MLA and
Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson is part of the State's
$21M Electric Vehicle Fund and State Electric Vehicle
Strategy for WA. This announcement is a great move
towards sustainability, and our battery mineral
producers are more than willing to take up the task
and provide necessary materials for the Electric
Vehicle future of the state.

By 2030, there will be solar on nearly three million Aussie homes, every single panel needs copper .

Electric cars need four times as much as copper as a standard car.

There is four tonnes of copper in a single wind turbine. So as the world shifts to more renewable energy, we’re going to need a lot more copper .

Copper is found in almost every electronic device .

Copper is used in wiring (60 percent of all copper used), plumbing, electronics, building construction , cookware, coins, and a host of other products.

Copper is an essential element for human nutrition . The mineral is critical for blood cell formation and is found in many foods and most water supplies.

Copper was the first metal to be worked by man , along with gold and meteoritic iron. This is because these metals were among the few that exist in their native state, meaning the relatively pure metal could be found in nature. The use of copper dates back more than 10,000 years.

Copper readily forms alloys with other metals. Two of the best-known alloys are brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper and tin), although hundreds of alloys exist.

Copper is a natural antibacterial agent . It is common to use brass door handles in public buildings (brass being a copper alloy) because they help prevent disease transmission.

Nearly 80 percent of the copper that has been mined to date is still in use. Copper is a 100 percent recyclable metal .

In terms of industrial use, copper ranks third, behind iron and aluminum.

About TechGen Metals

==> picture [252 x 367] intentionally omitted <==

TechGen is an Australian registered exploration Company with a primary focus on exploring and developing its 100% owned gold and copper projects in Western Australia (regarded as the top jurisdiction in the world for mining investment). The Company’s objective is to create wealth for its shareholders through commercial exploration success.

TechGen holds a portfolio of thirteen exploration licences strategically located in three highly prospective geological regions of Western Australia; the Yilgarn Craton, Paterson Orogen and Ashburton Basin. The Yilgarn Craton and Paterson Orogen are both proven world class gold and base metal provinces whilst the Ashburton Basin is considered highly prospective yet under explored and has the potential for major new gold and base metal discoveries. The spread of projects across these three geological regions provides the Company with geographical and operational diversification.

TechGen has an experienced board and management team, with a broad range of exploration, development, management, legal, finance, commercial and technical skills in the resource industry. The Company’s Managing Director and Technical Director are project vendors and substantial holders, driven to actively manage projects and deliver value to shareholders.
