Managing Director, Mr Ashley Hood commented : “It’s great to have the drill rods now spinning at our Mount Boggola Project. It has been a busy quarter for TechGen with drilling programs successfully completed at both John Bull in NSW and Station Creek in WA, and now underway at Mount Boggola.”
A reverse circulation (RC) drilling program has now been completed at the Station Creek Project in the Ashburton Basin of Western Australia (Figure 2). A total of 12 RC drill holes for 1,636 metres were drilled. The program was designed to test a series of Induced Polarisation (IP) targets, structural targets and geochemical target at the TA1 – TA4 Prospect areas. The full length of each drill hole has been sampled and samples sent to Laboratories in Perth for assaying.
Following the completion of the Station Creek Project drilling program the drill rig has moved to the Mount Boggola Project and has commenced drilling.
The drilling at Mount Boggola is designed to test 3 strong and discrete EM anomalies identified by the Company in 2021 via airborne EM and follow-up ground EM programs (Figure 1 below). Drill funding for the Mount Boggola program is assisted by co-funding provided by the WA State Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS). The Mount Boggola drilling program is anticipated to take 7 - 10 days to complete.

The current VTEM survey (ASX announcement 19[th] September 2022) in the southern portion of the Company’s Mt Boggola project is targeting base metals - lead, zinc and copper situated on the northern margin of the Mesoproterozoic Bangemall Basin, underlain by the Palaeoproterozoic sediments of the Ashburton Formation. The Bangemall Basin is an intra-cratonic basin lying between the Archaean Yilgarn and Pilbara cratons.
Historically WAMEX recorded malachite-stained gossans occur and remain untested by modern geophysics. Reported (A35154) gossans returned up to 12.5% Cu, 0.3% Pb and anomalous As-Sb-Sn (ranging from 0.03% to 0.1%). In this area the underlying Ashburton Formation slates are altered with hydrothermal chlorite, as distinct from the regional metamorphic variety and are also strongly silicified for 30 to 40m below the unconformity.
The Company looks forward to further details of the current VTEM survey upon completion of data being modelled.
