Origen Resources Inc. announced that it has acquired two additional claim blocks covering 4,600 hectares within the Newfoundland Lithium Belt. This brings the Company's total holdings to over 33,000 hectares in this newly identified and highly prospective lithium corridor. These new claims contain the following key characteristics as identified in the Company's earlier acquisitions that are indicative of lithium rich pegmatites: Similar tectonic setting to Kings Mountain and lithium pegmatite occurrences in Ireland; Age of the associated granite intrusive; Areas known for pegmatite occurrences; Highly favorable geochemical pathfinders; Prospective areas easily accessible and close to infrastructure. The Company intends on mobilizing crews into the region within the next few weeks to commence mapping, prospecting and geochemical sampling over its new holdings. The immediate goal is to further define target areas in this new prospective lithium belt by applying exploration techniques developed over the last two decades on the Avalonia pegmatite belt in Ireland. In addition to bringing priority targets to drill readiness, the Company will apply prospecting and geochemical methods between existing targets and extending along the pegmatite field. The Company will apply experience from Ireland and North America in district-scale pegmatite zoning to focus these efforts.
