IDA VALLEY GOLD PROJECT

STAGE 2 RC DRILLING COMPLETED

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • STAGE 1 RC DRILLING CONFIRMED NEW GOLD DISCOVERY AT IDA VALLEY MAY 2021

  • NEW MINERALISED GREENSTONE BELT BETWEEN AGNEW/LAWLERS AND MT IDA

  • STAGE 2 RC DRILLING NOW COMPLETED – 15 RC HOLES FOR 1,389m

  • TWO NEW GOLD SOIL ANOMALIES TESTED ALONG THE BALLARD FAULT

  • MULTIPLE WIDE MINERALISED SULPHIDE ZONES INTERSECTED

  • 348 COMPOSITE SAMPLES SENT TO ALS FOR GOLD AND MULTI ELEMENT TESTING

TechGen Metals Limited (ACN 624 721 035) (“ TechGen ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to inform the market that an RC drilling program has now been successfully completed 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 TechGen’s newly identified greenstone belt.

TechGen’s Managing Director and Ida Valley’s vendor, Mr Ashley Hood commented : “It's pleasing to have successfully completed a second stage of RC drilling into this new belt which appears to be growing at depth to the north and to the south with two new geochemistry targets tested. The southern geochemical zone is over 1,300m long, this program we’ve simply tested a 300m strike length to see if the grades continue at depth and along strike, obviously we’re a couple of months away from getting the assays, however the geology encountered is highly encouraging.

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 mafic 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).

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.

The drilling program was again undertaken by Kalgoorlie based drilling company Australian Surface Exploration (WA) Pty Ltd.

The Company anticipates that the 4m composite samples will take approximately two months to be analysed and looks forward to providing further updates.
