TG Metals doubles strike length at Van Uden gold project

• TG6 extends gold strike at Van Uden project to 6.5km
• Soil sampling defines targets that could materially extend existing resources 
• Drilling starts this month and will continue through the remainder of 2025

Special Report: New assays from historical soil sampling have extended gold targets to 6.5km – more than doubling the strike at TG Metals’ Van Uden project in WA.

The past-producing project is close to the Marvel Loch (producing) and Westonia-Edna May (care and maintenance) gold processing plants and consists of an indicated and inferred mineral resource of 6.35Mt at 1.1g/t gold for 227,140oz.

The new assays are from historical soil sampling and have confirmed highly anomalous gold in soils on-trend to the north and south of the existing mineral resource, within the project’s granted mining leases. 

More anomalies have also been identified on the footwall and hanging wall of this mineralised trend, identified as the Van Uden Shear Zone. 

Overall, the assays have increased the mineralised strike at Van Uden to about 6.5km, with the current MRE occupying a strike of 2.5km. 

TG Metals (ASX:TG6) said the continuous strike gold-in-soil anomaly was a substantial drilling target considering only 2.5km of the Van Uden shear has been effectively tested to date.

Plenty of potential for resource growth

Historical drilling shows the gold soil anomalies have been poorly tested, by shallow rotary air blast drilling.

Not to mention, previous isolated gold intercepts in RC (reverse circulation) drilling were not followed up which presents a compelling opportunity for the company to expand the defined gold mineralisation of the Van Uden deposit.

“Van Uden is shaping up as a very large gold system,” TG6 CEO David Selfe said. 

“The potential to expand the existing gold resource along strike and down dip is enormous. 

“With over 6 kilometres of strike now defined, we look forward to adding to this already substantial resource, which covers only 2.5 kilometres of strike, drilled to a relatively shallow depth averaging about 80 metres to the north and 120 metres in the south. 

“This new data has given us another key strategic target to be incorporated into our drilling plans, which kicks off this month and will continue through the remainder of 2025.”
