VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 11, 2025 / (TSXV:OGN)(OTCQX:OGNRF) Orogen Royalties Inc. ("Orogen" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the Company's re-listing on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "OGN" (CUSIP#:687080101). The re-listing is a result of the plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") that was completed and announced by the Company and Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. ("Triple Flag") on July 9, 2025. Concurrently with the Arrangement, Triple Flag also completed a $10.0 million strategic private placement by subscribing for 6,756,757 shares in Orogen at $1.48 per share.

"Orogen will continue its business strategy of organic royalty generation and strategic royalty acquisition, using its strengths as a prospect generator and well-established business relationships across the industry," commented Orogen CEO Paddy Nicol. "We utilize our data and intellectual capital to create high quality exploration opportunities for industry partners, resulting in royalties that provide significant value creation potential for our shareholders. This strategy has created our flagship Ermitaño 2% NSR gold royalty in Mexico and the recently sold Arthur 1% NSR gold royalty in Nevada that was the genesis of the Arrangement completed with Triple Flag."

The Company's strong shareholder base includes Altius Minerals Corporation (16.4%), Adrian Day Asset Management and EuroPac Gold Fund (12.3%), Triple Flag (11.4%) and other Institutional shareholders (approximately 17.0%).

Orogen has maintained profitability since 2021, is well financed with approximately $17 million in cash, and is debt-free. The Company has 59,359,932 shares outstanding.

Underpinning the Company's value and stability is Orogen's organically generated cash-flowing 2% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Ermitaño gold-silver mine located in Sonora, Mexico, operated by First Majestic Silver Corp. ("First Majestic"). Since starting production 2021, Ermitaño has been a consistent producer for First Majestic. In 2024, the mine produced 103,540 ounces of gold and 1.51 million ounces of silver.¹

Additionally, district scale exploration aimed at adding additional resources to the area has led to the discovery of the Navidad and Winter veins located on Orogen's royalty lands. These structures are proximal to the Ermitaño Mine and have been measured for 1.3 kilometres on strike and down dip of up to 450 metres.

Thus far only a portion of the Navidad and Winter vein systems have been delineated with inferred resources of 249,000 ounces gold and 5.9 million ounces silver, grading 3.42 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 81 g/t silver.
