TechGen Metals: Ida Valley -Stage 2 RC Drilling results

TechGen Metals (ASX: TG1) has update the market regarding the final 1m assay results from Stage 2 drilling.

The Ida Valley Gold Project has up to 30km of prospective strike extent and consists of three Exploration Licences covering a combined area of 199skm. The project is ideally located in between the Lawler’s and Mount Ida Mining Districts.

TechGen’s Managing Director and Ida Valley Project vendor, Ashley Hood commented:

"Interestingly, both the structurally controlled Central Eastern Zone and Central Western Zone are showing continuity at depth with higher grades contained within broader zones of lower grade gold mineralisation. Deeper drill testing along the Ballard Fault is warranted. Having the key tenement of E36/1015 recently granted allows multiple targets to be tested at the project in the coming months."
