TechGen Metals (ASX:TG1) has unveiled its plans to hunt down critically listed mineral antimony on its Station Creek acreage in WA.
Located 70km southwest of Paraburdoo, the company’s 54sq.km landholding is now the site of a geological mapping and sampling fieldwork campaign to follow up on antimony rock-chips grading up to 7%.
Geochemical surveys are also en route from the lab; TechGen intends these to inform the layout of a future drill run using the data to select drill targets.
The company reported on Monday that the area has never been explored for antimony and that no drilling at all has taken place on-site a 1.2km x 400m envelope where high grade rock chips were pulled from. Rock chips do not guarantee further mineralisation underground.
“Historical diamond drill core from the 1990s, totalling approximately 450m, has been preserved at the Sation Creek project area, offering immediate and beneficial structural and geological information,” TechGen MD Ashley Hood said.
“Field reconnaissance work has commenced, specifically targeting the 7.05% antimony and coincident soil anomaly at AT1.
“We’re prioritising ongoing exploration to fully understand the potential of this critical project, especially given the size of the geochemistry target.”
