Dalgaranga Project lies approximately 475km northeast of Perth and 80km northwest of Mount Magnet.

TechGen Metals Limited (ASX:TG1) has strategically expanded its Western Australian gold portfolio with two new Exploration Licence Applications (E59/3024 and E59/3025),  directly adjoining and along strike of Ramelius Resources’ Dalgaranga Gold Project (2.97Moz @ 5.61g/t Au; Figures 1 & 2). The licences cover a combined area of 170km² and are located just 8km from Ramelius Resources’ Dalgaranga processing plant, within a proven gold-producing corridor that has seen limited modern exploration.

HIGH GRADE GOLD INCLUDING; 39.3g/t, 25.8g/t & 12g/t  RETURNED FROM THE ARMSTRONG PIT DALGARANGA, WA

 

STRATEGIC PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
  • Two new Exploration Licence Applications in the Dalgaranga region, each containing mapped Archean greenstone units and considered highly prospective for new gold discoveries.
  • The licences cover a combined 170km² and are located just 8km from Ramelius Resources’ Dalgaranga processing plant, within a proven gold-producing corridor that has seen limited modern exploration.
  • Ramelius Resources’ recent A$2.4 billion acquisition of Spartan Resources highlights the strategic importance and growth potential of the Dalgaranga Gold Project area.
  • Applications E59/3024 and E59/3025 adjoin Ramelius Resources’ Dalgaranga Gold Project (2.97Moz @ 5.61g/t Au) on the northeast and southwest margins, positioning TechGen as the second-largest landholder in the Dalgaranga Greenstone Belt behind Ramelius. The Never Never and Pepper Lode gold discoveries, which form part of Ramelius’s Dalgaranga Gold Project, were made by Spartan Resources and are two of the highest grade +500,000oz Au discoveries made in Western Australia in recent times.
  • The Dalgaranga Gold Project complements TechGen’s growing copper portfolio, including its flagship Blue Devil and Mt Boggola copper targets, both scheduled for drilling in Western Australia.
  • The Dalgaranga Gold Project is located in the Archean Dalgaranga Greenstone Belt. Exploration Licences E59/3024 & E59/3025 adjoin Ramelius Resources Dalgaranga Gold Project (2.97Moz @ 5.61g/t Au) on the northeast and southwest sides. The Never Never and Pepper Lode gold discoveries, which form part of Ramelius’s Dalgaranga Gold Project, were made by Spartan Resources and are two of the highest grade +500,000oz Au discoveries made in Western Australia in recent times.
  • The Karbah Shear Zone runs through the project area and through the Armstrong Prospect. Ramelius Resources Dalgaranga Gold Project is interpreted to sit along the Karbah Shear Zone to the southwest of the Armstrong Prospect whilst Westgold Resources Big Bell Gold Mine is interpreted to also sit along the Karbah Shear Zone to the northeast of the Armstrong Prospect (Figures 2).
  • Historic gold workings at the Armstrong Prospect include an open pit, approximately 60m long x 4m wide x up to 5m deep, which has recorded historic production of 107 tonnes @ 2.5g/t Au from quartz vein material (Photos 1 & 2). At the northern end of the Armstrong Prospect pit quartz veins can be seen within a northeast striking shear zone that continue towards the northeast. Two additional shallow workings occur in the project area along strike to the south of the main Armstrong Prospect pit. The workings are surrounded by several mullock and waste rock dump rock piles. Quartz veining is hosted by sheared mafic volcanic and intrusive units.
  • An outcropping quartz vein approximately 70m in length and up to 5m wide was identified 1.4km northeast of the Armstrong Prospect and running in a parallel orientation.
  • A total of forty-six rock chip samples of dominantly quartz vein and wall rock material from the Armstrong Prospect workings and quartz vein material from the newly identified quartz vein to the northeast of Armstrong were recently collected from the project area. Assay results have returned high-grade gold results including 39.3g/t, 25.8g/t, 12.0g/t, 8.89g/t, 7.85g/t & 5.57g/t gold. Eleven rock chip samples returned gold values greater than 1g/t Au. Several samples also returned anomalous arsenic results including sample DR041, quartz-iron vein material, taken 1.4km northeast of Armstrong that returned an assay result of 7.3% arsenic & 0.458g/t gold.
  • No drilling has previously been completed either at the Armstrong Prospect or elsewhere on E59/3024. Future work at the project is likely to include geological mapping and soil sampling.

LATEST RESULTS
(ASX Announcement 3 December 2025)
  • High-grade gold rock chip results returned from maiden sampling of quartz vein material with iron association within a gabbroic geological unit at the Armstrong Prospect.
  • Assays from within the pit and from dumps surrounding the pit include:
    • DR034      =      39.3g/t Au      -      Quartz vein material from waste rock pile
    • DR026      =      25.8g/t Au      -      Quartz vein material from waste rock pile
    • DR021      =      12.0g/t Au      -      Quartz vein in pit
    • DR030      =       8.89g/t Au     -      Quartz vein material from waste rock pile
    • DR028      =       7.85g/t Au     -      Quartz vein in pit
    • DR004      =       5.57g/t Au     -      Quartz vein in pit
  • The Armstrong Prospect includes a historic open pit, approximately 60m long x 4m wide x 5m deep, with recorded historic production of 107 tonnes @ 2.5g/t Au (1986). Two additional shallow workings occur along strike to the south of the main Armstrong Prospect pit, surrounded by quartz and mullock waste rock dump piles.
  • A 70m-long, up to 5m-wide quartz vein was identified 1.4km northeast of the Armstrong Prospect and returned a peak assay result of 7.3% arsenic & 0.458g/t gold.
  • No drilling has ever been conducted at Armstrong or across the newly mapped iron-rich quartz veins, representing an untested exploration opportunity.
  • The Armstrong pit strategically sits along the Karbah Shear Zone, this is a regionally significant structure that also hosts the Dalgaranga Gold Mine, Pepper and Never Never high-grade discoveries as well as the Big Bell Gold Mine (Westgold – 2.6Moz @ 1.7g/t Au).
  • Ramelius Resources’ recent A$2.4 billion acquisition of Spartan Resources highlights the strategic importance and growth potential of the Dalgaranga Gold Project area.
