Origen Resources Inc. provided highlights from the historical trenching and drill programs conducted at the Company's Wishbone property prominently situated within British Columbia's Golden Triangle. Exploration field crews are currently at site assessing the numerous high grade gold occurrences reported from the historical work conducted at the Windy Gold Zone. At the conclusion of the 1987 exploration program, seven gold mineralized quartz-sulphide veins were discovered within a small 400 x 500 metre area (Figure 1). A total of 45 trenches, totaling 398 linear metres, were excavated to bedrock with 344 rock chip samples collected and assayed for gold and silver. The Main Vein trending E-W along Line 600 South and dipping steeply to the north was traced for 500m in length with a width of 6.7 metres at its widest exposure in the most eastern trench reporting a 3.3m chip sample grading 7.8 g/t Au, including 19.1 g/t Au over 1.1m. A vein which occurs about 60 m north of the Main Vein designated as North Main Vein is uncovered in only four places along a 125 m length. The most eastern trench returned chip samples averaging 4.9 g/t Au over a 2.8 m and in the most western trench one chip sample assayed 10.4 g/t Au over 1.0 m. The Camp Vein trending E-W, located 250m north of the Main Vein, was traced for 75m by seven trenches excavated at this locale and reported a maximum width of 5.1 metres, at its widest exposure in the most eastern trench, grading 2.1 g/t over the entire width. Other trenches reported high grades of 38.6 g/t Au over 0.3 m, 4.2 g/t Au over 4.6 m and 4.2 g/t Au over a 4.8 m chip sample. About 35 m north of the Camp Vein another vein, designated the North Camp Vein, returned chip samples grading 17.3 g/t Au over 1.8 m and 8.1 g/t Au over 2.1 m from two trenches 78 m apart with reports of visible gold panned from the soil in the trenches. Of note, all the veins are open along strike and appear to be thickening to the east, however the historical field crews were unable to further expose the veins by hand trenching in this direction due to the increasing depth of overburden. Chip sampling was accomplished with a moil and hammer with the samples sent to ACME Analytical Labs in Vancouver for analysis. Standard fire-assay techniques were utilized. Quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") measures were not documented, however a qualified person for Origen considers that the quality of the work, the established standing of the operator and the use of a reputable analytical laboratory supports that the chip sample results disclosed are suitable for guidance and characterization of the area at the current stage of exploration. The channel samples disclosed in this news release were sourced directly from geological maps and assay certificates within assessment reports available on the ARIS (Assessment Report Indexing System) collection of technical assessment reports administered by the B.C. Geological Survey. The current exploration field crew will aim to verify the location of the historical trenches and collect representative chip samples where viable.
