Origen Resources Inc. announced that it has increased the size of its Arlington property by 922 hectares through the purchase of the adjacent Fresh Pots claims from 1218802 B.C. Ltd. The Arlington property is located 17 kilometers north of the community of Beaverdell in B.C.'s southern interior and now covers an area of 1,571 hectares. The Fresh Pots property is comprised of two claims covering 922.1 hectares, covers ground geologically similar to the Arlington property, and is believed to host copper/gold skarn mineralization. Historical Crown grant supporting documents, newspaper articles, and mineral claim survey maps from the late 1890's detail a series of workings exploiting a ledge of magnetite iron carrying values in copper and gold (Boundary Creek Times, 1899) located north of China Creek and opposite the historic mining camp of Carmi. The China Creek area, including Carmi, was a landmark mining camp in the late 1800's/early 1900's and the creek itself reportedly produced placer gold between 1896-1898 that was believed to be sourced from the magnetite iron ledge (The Phoenix Pioneer, 1905). The property is fully road accessible, as it is transected by B.C. Highway 33, and has no record of modern exploration activity. A due diligence site visit conducted by Origen personnel on March 26- 28, 2021 readily found and sampled magnetite and copper mineralization.
