HELIBORNE VTEM SURVEY COMMENCED AT MT BOGGOLA PROJECT

HIGHLIGHTS

• Heliborne VTEM[TM ] - Max survey has now commenced at the Mt Boggola Project in the Ashburton Basin of Western Australia

• No previous airborne electromagnetic surveys known in the project area

• Outcropping copper mineralisation and high grade copper rock chips represent targets

• XRD analysis of a rock sample which returned 48.7% Cu & 119g/t Ag has indicated the presence of copper sulphide minerals at surface

• Exploration is targeting shear zone hosted copper and gold mineralisation

• TechGen is on target with its scheduled work plan

TechGen Metals Limited (ACN 624 721 035) (“TechGen” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the scheduled heliborne Versatile Time Domain Electro Magnetic (VTEM[TM] Max) geophysical survey has commenced within the Company’s highly prospective 100% owned Mt Boggola Project in the Ashburton Basin of Western Australia (Figure 1; Photos 1 & 2). The Mt Boggola Project consists of two Exploration Licences (E08/2966 & E08/3269) which cover a combined area of 179km[2] . The airborne survey at the Company's Station Creek Project which commenced last week has now been completed with results awaited.

The VTEM[TM] Max survey at the Mt Boggola Project will consist of approximately 320 line kilometres of surveying with nominal 200m spacing between flight lines. The survey is being flown by UTS Geophysics Pty Ltd and the data, once received, is to be processed and modelled by Russell Mortimer at Southern Geoscience Consultants (SGC). The airborne survey will cover the northern granted project area (E08/2996).

The VTEM™ Max system is the most innovative and successful airborne electromagnetic system to be introduced in more than 30 years. The proprietary receiver design, using the advantages of modern digital electronics and signal processing, delivers exceptionally low-noise levels. Coupled with a high dipole moment transmitter, the result is unparalleled resolution and depth of investigation in precision electromagnetic measurements.

Historic drilling, rock chip and soil sampling and exploration completed by TechGen has identified areas of high grade copper ± silver ± gold and outcropping copper mineralisation (malachite) within the project area. Several areas of anomalism are known and the VTEM-Max survey is being undertaken to identify possible sulphide mineralisation at depth across the project area.

XRD analysis has been undertaken on a single rock chip sample which assayed 48.7% Cu & 119g/t Ag (sample MB69). The results of the XRD analysis have indicated that in addition to the presence of copper oxide minerals (Malachite, Brochantite & Atacamite) that the copper sulphide mineral Djurleite is also present within the sample.

The VTEM survey is anticipated to take 4 - 5 days to complete and the Company looks forward to providing further updates across its 100% owned highly prospective copper-gold project portfolio in Western Australia.

About TechGen Metals Limited

==> picture [253 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 twelve 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.
