HIGHLIGHTS
■
Acquisition of 80% of the Van Uden Gold Project
■
Cash at bank of $4.8m as at 31 March 2025
TG Metals Limited (TG Metals or the Company) (ASX:TG6) is pleased to report on its activities for the
period ended 31 March 2025 (Quarter), during which the Company executed a sale and purchase
agreement (SPA) to acquire 80% of the advanced Van Uden Gold Project (the Project) in the
Forrestania Region of WA, Figure 1, adding to the Company’s tenement holdings in the southern
goldfields region. Barto Gold Pty Ltd retains 20% equity interest in the Project.
Activities for the Quarter included due diligence on the Van Uden Gold Project acquisition which was
announced to the ASX on 6 March 2025. The Van Uden Gold Project highlights include:
•
Extensive drilling database.
•
Past mining in the early 1990’s and late 1990’s to 2001.
•
Mineralised stockpiles on surface from past mining.
•
4 granted mining leases, 3 granted exploration licences and two miscellaneous licences.
•
Proximity to gold processing plants in the Forrestania region.
•
Infrastructure tenements connecting existing haul roads to sealed public roads.
The acquisition complements the Company’s existing advanced lithium assets in the Lake Johnston
region which is only 130km to the east, refer to Figure 1. The Van Uden Gold Project acquisition will
also provide the Company with:
•
Direct exposure to an advanced gold project with potential near term cashflow from surface
stockpiles and shallow gold mineralisation.
•
Diversification into a commodity, gold, which is at historic high prices.
•
A second project adding growth to the Company’s tenement asset portfolio.
•
Exploration upside both down dip and along strike of existing known gold mineralisation.
•
The Company’s cash position remains strong and is on target to achieve its near term goals.

Van Uden Gold Project Detail
The Van Uden Gold Project mineralisation remains open down dip with limited drilling below 150m.
There has been past production from two open pits, Tasman and Dieman, as well as surface gold
bearing laterite, which is recorded as 136,023 tonnes at 2.54g/t for 11,142oz gold (WAMEX open file
records). Past mining within the Project was shallow (<40m), with the potential for a more extensive
mining operation at the current record gold metal prices. Past mining stockpiles exist in proximity to the
Tasman and Dieman pits. The Company will assess these stockpiles for remnant mineralisation as a
priority for potential near term toll treatment.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Included in the Project are two miscellaneous licences for haul road infrastructure, see Figure 2. These
tenements allow for the use and upgrade of a haul road from the Van Uden granted mining leases to
the public access Marvel Loch-Forrestania Road, which has recently been sealed. This infrastructure
provides a ready access route to gold processing facilities at Marvel Loch and Edna May (Westonia).
A power line runs along the northern edge of the Van Uden Mining Leases. The line currently supplies
grid power to the Mt Holland Lithium and Cosmic Boy mine sites.
The shallow Tasman open pit was mined between 1998 and 2001, supplying feed to the nearby Bounty
gold plant (now removed). This mining was completed during a gold price downturn and hence the
orebody remains largely unexploited. Figure 3 shows a cross section through the Tasman pit showing
the extensive mineralisation remaining at depth. The low grade mineralisation extracted from the pit
remains on site and will be drill tested for potential near term treatment at third party processing plants.
Figure 3 – Cross Section through Tasman Pit, Van Uden Group deposit
The Dieman open pit in the northern part of the Van Uden deposit, was mined in 1990 as a trial for
dump heap leaching. It is a very shallow pit, less than 20m depth and extracted both oxide and gold
bearing laterite. The leach dumps remain on site and will be drill tested for potential near term treatment
at third party processing plants.
The cross section through the Dieman pit, Figure 4, illustrates the extensive mineralised laterite at and
near surface which remains largely untouched. There is also extensive oxide, transitional and fresh
mineralisation extending well below the Dieman pit and remains open at depth.

In addition to the defined gold deposit at Van Uden, the acquisition also includes the Gold City prospect
located on a single exploration licence, 25km to the south of the Van Uden Group granted mining
leases. Numerous historical gold workings are on the tenement, as reported by Kidman (ASX:KDR 19
May 2016). Past historical drilling at Gold City was shallow, less than 120m depth, with the prospect
providing an additional fertile exploration opportunity for TG Metals. Historical drilling at the Gold City
prospect has been concentrated in one small area around the historical workings as shown in Figure
5. The mineralisation trend along strike remains largely untested.

Forward Looking Statements
This announcement may contain certain statements that may constitute “forward looking statements”.
Such statements are only predictions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, which could
cause actual values, results, and performance achievements to differ materially from those expressed,
implied or projected in any forward looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Words such as “expect(s)”,
“feel(s)”, “believe(s)”, “will”, “may”, “anticipate(s)” and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to statements regarding
future production, resources or reserves and exploration results. All such statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control

any obligation to revise and disseminate forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of or non-occurrence of any events.
The Company believes that it has a reasonable basis for making the forward-looking Statements in the
presentation based on the information contained in this and previous ASX announcements.
The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information
included in this ASX release, and the Company confirms that, to the best of its knowledge, all material
assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the exploration results in this release continue to
