Origen Resources Inc. announced that it has now received the final airborne results for its Middle Ridge project in Newfoundland. Exploration crews are being mobilized to follow-up on the numerous and extensive anomalies identified in the survey. An 867 line-kilometre helicopter-borne VTEM (Versatile Time-domain Electromagnetic) and magnetics survey was conducted by Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario over the project area to identify prospective targets for orogenic gold deposits. A prominent 30 km long VTEM anomaly was traced across the Property. This anomaly is interpreted as a deep-seated structure where the Gander Zone and Exploits Subzone meet and is indicative of a setting favorable for the formation of orogenic gold deposits. In addition to the gold prospectivity, the property hosts large areas of Middle Ridge granite that is believed to be the right age and within a favorable tectonic structural environment for the emplacement of lithium bearing pegmatites. Crews will focus on till sampling, prospecting, and mapping along the trace of the 30 km long deep-seated structure. In parallel, the Middle Ridge program crews will also be conducting regional till sampling programs, prospecting, mapping, sampling and evaluation of known pegmatites on the Company's Lithium assets in Newfoundland. 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 (Leinster) pegmatite belt in Ireland. The Company is applying experience from Ireland and North America in district-scale pegmatite zoning to focus these efforts.
