Vancouver - Origen Resources Inc. (the 'Company' or 'Origen') (CSE: ORGN) is pleased to announce the identification of multiple distinct high grade gold occurrences from the initial reconnaissance conducted recently at the Rat prospect on the Wishbone Property and the mobilization of an exploration field crew to further define the target areas.

Key Highlights - Rat Prospect

Multiple distinct occurrences of gold mineralization identified; Schist Canyon: 300 metre long open mineralized trend reporting three high grade float grab samples grading 17.65, >25 and >25 g/t Au; South Bowl: Two talus fines samples returned 7.5 and 7.2 g/t Au only 50m from 1.23 g/t in outcrop indicates close proximity to bedrock source; Mid-Bowl: Two samples returned 10.98 and >25 g/t Au in float near newly exposed receding leading edge of glacier and Field crew mobilizes to vector into source of gold mineralization and define drill targets.

'We are thoroughly encouraged by the broad and high grade expression of gold mineralization at the Rat Prospect. This initial success has really set the stage for our next phase of work, not only advancing this target area, but in synergy with the other priority target areas on Origen's Wishbone property.' states Blake Morgan, Company President.

Rat Prospect Gold Target Areas

The July 2020 reconnaissance exploration program collected 67 rock samples (i.e. float, outcrop and chip samples) covering an 800 x 900m area within a bowl hosting the Rat Prospect. Of these, eighteen (18) samples reported >0.5 g/t gold.

Schist Canyon

Traverse through the Schist Canyon area revealed a 300 metre long mineralized trend reporting twelve samples grading >0.5 g/t gold including three high grade float grab samples grading 17.65, >25 and >25 g/t Au.

The concentration of mineralized samples along such a broad length strongly suggests a significant and local source of the gold. This area and areas to the north reporting historical high grade gold samples will be one of the main target areas that the field crew will focus on in the Company's 2020 Phase 2 exploration program.
