Origen Commences Field Work at Los Sapitos
Origen Resources (CSE: ORGN) has initiated fieldwork at its wholly-owned Los Sapitos Lithium Project in San Juan Province, Argentina. The project encompasses 26,962 hectares and aims to identify drilling locations beneath the main Los Sapitos Salar, where production-grade lithium was previously discovered in 2021.
A key finding from a 2023 Vertical Electrical Sounding survey revealed a conductive layer extending up to 482 metres below the surface. The first phase of exploration will involve collecting brine, clay, and claystone samples to determine the surface extent of the lithium-rich salar and validate potential future drill sites.
Origen Resources (CSE: ORGN) ha avviato lavori sul campo presso il suo interamente posseduto Los Sapitos Lithium Project nella provincia di San Juan, Argentina. Il progetto si estende su 26.962 ettari e mira a identificare i luoghi di perforazione sotto il principale Salar di Los Sapitos, dove è stato scoperto litio di qualità produttiva nel 2021.
Una scoperta chiave da un sondaggio di Vertical Electrical Sounding del 2023 ha rivelato uno strato conduttivo che si estende fino a 482 metri sotto la superficie. La prima fase dell'esplorazione comporterà la raccolta di campioni di salamoia, argilla e argillite per determinare l'estensione superficiale del salar ricco di litio e convalidare i potenziali siti di perforazione futuri.

Origen Resources (CSE: ORGN)는 아르헨티나 산후안 주에 위치한 전액 출자한 Los Sapitos Lithium Project에서 현장 작업을 시작했습니다. 이 프로젝트는 26,962 헥타르에 달하며, 2021년에 생산 등급의 리튬이 발견된 주요 Los Sapitos Salar 아래에 드릴링 위치를 식별하는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다.
2023년 수직 전기 음향 조사에서의 주요 발견은 지표면 아래 482미터까지 확장되는 전도성 층을 밝혀냈습니다. 탐사의 첫 번째 단계는 리튬이 풍부한 살라르의 표면 범위를 확인하고 향후 드릴링 사이트의 가능성을 검증하기 위해 소금물, 점토 및 점토암 샘플을 수집하는 것입니다.
Origen Resources (CSE: ORGN) a lancé des travaux de terrain sur son projet Los Sapitos Lithium Project, entièrement détenu, dans la province de San Juan, en Argentine. Le projet couvre 26 962 hectares et vise à identifier des emplacements de forage sous le principal Salar de Los Sapitos, où du lithium de qualité de production a été découvert en 2021.
Une découverte clé d'une enquête de Vertical Electrical Sounding de 2023 a révélé une couche conductrice s'étendant jusqu'à 482 mètres sous la surface. La première phase de l'exploration consistera à recueillir des échantillons de saumure, d'argile et d'argilite pour déterminer l'étendue de surface du salar riche en lithium et valider les sites de forage potentiels futurs.
Origen Resources (CSE: ORGN) hat die Feldarbeiten in seinem vollständig im Besitz befindlichen Los Sapitos Lithium Project in der Provinz San Juan, Argentinien, begonnen. Das Projekt umfasst 26.962 Hektar und zielt darauf ab, Bohrstandorte unter dem Hauptsalar von Los Sapitos zu identifizieren, wo 2021 Produktionslitium entdeckt wurde.
Ein wichtiges Ergebnis einer vertikalen elektrischen Widerstandsmessung aus dem Jahr 2023 zeigte eine leitfähige Schicht, die sich bis zu 482 Meter unter der Oberfläche erstreckt. Die erste Phase der Erkundung wird die Sammlung von Proben von Sole, Ton und Tonstein umfassen, um das Oberflächenmaß des lithiumreichen Salars zu bestimmen und potenzielle zukünftige Bohrstandorte zu validieren.
- 100% ownership of large-scale 26,962-hectare lithium project
- Previous discovery of production-grade lithium in 2021
- Identified deep conductive layer up to 482 metres, suggesting significant exploration potential
- Project still in early exploration phase with no defined resources
- Drilling locations yet to be determined
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 18, 2025) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (FSE: 4VXA) is pleased to announce the start of fieldwork at its
The program aims to define drill locations that will test beneath the main Los Sapitos Salar where production-grade lithium was discovered in 2021. A 2023 Vertical Electrical Sounding survey outlined a conductive layer up to 482 metres deep beneath the surface. During the first phase of exploration field teams will collect brine, clay and claystone samples in order to test the surface extent of the lithium-rich salar and ground truth potential future drill sites.

About Origen's Lithium History
The Origen team has been exploring for Lithium since 2008, making major discoveries of both spodumene and lithium in brines including the Mariana project operated by Ganfeng Lithium that recently commenced commercial production. The recent market-driven phase of lithium discoveries has represented those with the highest grades and most obvious surface expressions. As lithium technology matures and the demand for lithium grows, exploration will be driven to those places where lithium has not been historically seen. Origen has been applying their experience gained through discovery to create advanced exploration models with the aim of making original green-fields discoveries.
Origen began exploration for lithium brines in Argentina with the thesis that the lithium found in the "Lithium Triangle" - an area located on borders of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia that is estimated to host
