ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

(ASX: TG1)

2 June 2021

SOIL SAMPLING PROGRAM COMMENCED

AT IDA VALLEY GOLD PROJECT

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Gold geochemistry commences in new mineralised greenstone belt

  • +1,000 sample soil program targeting extensions to known gold anomalism

  • New greenstone belt between the Lawler’s and Mt Ida Mining Districts

  • Assays pending from recent RC drilling program completed on 12 May 2021

  • Previous 2020 soil geochemistry sampling returned a peak of 884ppb gold

  • New soils geochemistry steps out north and south of known soil gold anomalism

TechGen Metals Limited (ACN 624 721 035) (“ TechGen ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to inform the market that a large soil sampling program has commenced at the Company's 100% owned Ida Valley Gold Project located 80km northwest of Leonora in the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia (Image 1 & Figure 1). The Ida Valley Gold Project has up to 30km of prospective strike extent and consists of three Exploration Licences covering a combined area of 199km[2] . The project is ideally located in between the Lawler’s and Mount Ida Mining Districts.

The current soil geochemistry program will consist of approximately 1,100 samples taken along east-west sample lines stepping out to the north and south of the central area where previous soil and rock chip sampling identified gold anomalism. Peak results from the project to date are 884 ppb Au in soils and 6.6 g/t Au in rock chips. The recently completed RC drilling program was undertaken as a first test of this area of soil and rock chip gold anomalism.

Less than 10% of this newly identified greenstone belt has been tested by soil geochemistry so far.

Results from the RC drilling program completed May 2021 (refer to ASX announcement 12[th ] May 2021) are awaited. Soil geochemical samples will be assayed for gold and a range of pathfinder elements that are associated with the current known gold mineralisation within the project.

TechGen’s Managing Director and Ida Valley Project vendor, Mr Ashley Hood commented: “The Project has continued to deliver encouraging geology at surface and backed up within the recently completed inaugural RC drilling campaign. Given the early encouragement we have taken the earliest opportunity to step out our soil geochemistry sampling coverage both to the north and south of the previous identified anomalies whilst we await RC drilling assay results. The soil geochemistry program will cover strike extensions of the Ballard Fault and other interpreted shear zones as well as test localised airborne magnetic targets.

The Company anticipates that the soil sampling program will take two weeks to complete with assay results to follow.
