TechGen Metals Limited (ASX:TG1) Signs Option Agreement for Blue Bore Copper Project
Option Agreement Details
TechGen Metals Limited has executed an Option Agreement granting the company an option to acquire an 80% legal and beneficial interest in the Blue Bore Copper Project located in the Northern Territory. The project, which spans 3,950 km², is situated in a largely unexplored region, offering a significant first-mover advantage. The total option fee payable is $50,000, non-refundable.
Project Highlights
The Blue Bore Copper Project presents a compelling opportunity for discovery, characterised by historical evidence of anomalous copper levels from a water sample taken in 2000, which returned a concentration of 653 μg/l. Additionally, a historical water bore has indicated thick intervals of unexplained blue shale and limestone. Located within the intracratonic Pedirka Basin, the project is positioned within a geological setting that has similarities to world-class sediment-hosted copper deposits.
A comprehensive geological assessment indicates sediment-hosted copper mineralisation potential in nearby regions. The project area has not seen previous exploration for minerals, enhancing its attractiveness for high-reward exploration.
CEO Comments
Ashley Hood, Managing Director of TechGen, expressed enthusiasm regarding the project’s potential. “The Blue Bore Copper Project is a unique opportunity to secure a first-mover advantage in an untouched region with immense discovery potential. This area, often referred to as ‘elephant country’ in exploration terms, offers a low-cost entry into a region with significant scale potential, perfectly aligning with our strategy of pursuing transformative assets,” he stated. Hood further noted the increasing demand for copper amid global decarbonisation efforts, positioning TechGen to capitalise on these market dynamics.
Next Steps
The company will work towards obtaining the necessary exploration licences to facilitate on-ground exploration activities. Due diligence has been satisfied and plans for future exploration will include ground testing to further assess the project’s copper potential.
