Origen Commences 2025 Exploration Program at Wishbone

Rhea-AI Summary

Origen Resources (CSE: ORGN) has initiated a geophysical program at its 100% owned Wishbone project in BC's Golden Triangle. The program includes an induced polarization survey covering a 700m gold geochemical anomaly.

The program builds on the company's 2024 field campaign which yielded significant discoveries, including the 'Lake' showing with a boulder sample of 164.7 ppm gold. Notable results from 37 samples include 11 samples with >1 ppm gold and a boulder containing 14.6% copper.

Additionally, the company has granted 1,525,000 stock options to advisors, consultants, and directors, exercisable at $0.055 per share for five years.

Positive

• Discovery of significant gold mineralization with samples up to 164.7 ppm gold
• High-grade copper discovery with boulder sample containing 14.6% copper
• Expansion of exploration program with new geophysical survey
• Strong sampling results with 11 out of 37 samples showing >1 ppm gold

Negative

• Samples are selective and may not be representative of overall mineralization
• Results based on float samples which may not reflect property mineralization

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2025) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (FSE: 4VXA) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of a geophysical program at its 100% owned Wishbone project situated in BC's Golden Triangle.

The Company has mobilized a geophysical crew to conduct an induced polarization survey over a large gold geochemical anomaly that extends across 700 m with varying width. This program is designed to build on last years successful field campaign that yielded a new gold discovery named the 'Lake' showing with a boulder sample returning 164.7 ppm gold¹. Of the 37 float and grab¹ rock samples collected last year, 11 returned greater than 1 ppm gold and 26 greater than 0.1 ppm gold. A boulder containing chalcopyrite returning 14.6% copper¹ was found along the southern edge of the glacier close to where Origen geologists found 203 ppm gold in a rounded boulder¹ of float in 2023. Two additional grab samples returned 6.5 ppm and 5.7 ppm gold were collected from outcropping veins and metre wide breccia near the eastern edge of the Central Glacier and trend under the ice^1.

¹Grab samples are by definition selective. Grab samples are solely designed to show the presence or absence of mineralization, and are not intended to provide nor should be construed as a representative indication of grade or mineralization at the Property. Float samples are not collected from outcrop and consequently their origin may not be known and they may not reflect mineralization on the Property.
