    TechGen Metals Ltd (ASX:TG1) insiders who purchased shares in the last 12 months were richly rewarded last week. The stock climbed by 13% resulting in a AU$1.4m addition to the company’s market value. As a result, the stock they originally bought for AU$310.7k is now worth AU$408.4k.

    TechGen Metals Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

    The MD & Director Ashley Hood made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for AU$100k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.018 each. Although we like to see insider buying, we note that this large purchase was at significantly below the recent price of AU$0.027. Because it occurred at a lower valuation, it doesn't tell us much about whether insiders might find today's price attractive.

    TechGen Metals insiders may have bought shares in the last year, but they didn't sell any. They paid about AU$0.021 on average. To my mind it is good that insiders have invested their own money in the company. But we must note that the investments were made at well below today's share price.
