TechGen’s WA Projects Face Key Tests as Drilling and Surveys Loom

Exploration Momentum Builds Across TechGen’s WA Projects

TechGen Metals Limited is making significant strides in its exploration efforts across a portfolio of copper and gold projects in Western Australia. The company’s recent update highlights encouraging assay results and the identification of new targets at its El Donna, Mt Boggola, Agnew, and Blue Devil projects. With copper, gold, and antimony prices near historic highs, TechGen is positioning itself to capitalise on these favourable market conditions by advancing multiple projects toward drilling.

El Donna, New Gold Zones and Historic Intercepts Await Follow-Up

At the El Donna project, located strategically between two established gold mines near Kalgoorlie, TechGen’s aircore drilling has uncovered two new shallow supergene-enriched gold zones. These targets returned assays exceeding 1 gram per tonne of gold over six-metre intervals near surface, notably 6m at 1.45g/t Au at the Star West target and 6m at 1.21g/t Au at the Emu Fault target. These results extend known gold anomalism along key fault structures and complement historical drill intercepts, some as high as 17g/t Au over two metres, which have yet to be followed up. The company plans to commence reverse circulation (RC) drilling shortly to test these promising zones further.

Mt Boggola, High-Grade Copper and Gold Chargeability Targets

The Mt Boggola project has attracted attention from major miners such as Newcrest, Northern Star, and Goldfields, underscoring its potential. TechGen’s geophysical surveys identified two strong induced polarization (IP) chargeability targets, MB1 and MB2, which have not been drill tested previously. These targets coincide with resistivity lows and are supported by rock chip samples showing exceptional grades, including up to 32.6% copper, 48.8g/t gold, and 3.92% antimony. The company is preparing for detailed mapping, heritage surveys, and drill testing to unlock the potential of these high-priority targets.

Agnew, Soil Geochemistry Points to New Gold Anomalies

TechGen’s Agnew project, acquired through recent ground pegging, is situated in a prolific gold belt with limited prior exploration. A comprehensive soil geochemistry program has delineated seven target areas, including a standout anomaly with a peak gold concentration of 211 parts per billion (ppb), which is considered highly anomalous. The anomaly remains open to the north, and an infill soil sampling campaign is planned to refine these targets ahead of further exploration.

Blue Devil, Heritage Survey Sets Stage for Drilling

The Blue Devil project, located near Halls Creek, features compelling geophysical targets identified through recent airborne electromagnetic and magnetic surveys. These targets are associated with conductive and magnetic features suggestive of mineralisation. TechGen has secured a Heritage Protection Agreement with the local Jaru people, and a heritage survey is scheduled to commence at the end of July 2025. This survey is a critical step before drilling can begin, which the company aims to undertake before year-end.

Outlook, Disciplined Strategy Amid Strong Commodity Prices

Managing Director Ashley Hood emphasised the company’s commitment to a technically driven and disciplined exploration approach. With multiple projects advancing simultaneously and commodity prices at record levels, TechGen is well positioned to deliver value through targeted drilling campaigns. The upcoming months will be pivotal as the company tests these newly identified targets and advances its flagship projects.
