Origen Resources Samples 165 g/t Gold at New Showing on Wishbone
Origen Resources has announced significant results from its Wishbone Project sampling program. A high-grade gold sample of 165 g/t was discovered along the eastern edge of the Central Glacier. The soil sampling program extended the gold anomaly south of the Windy showing by 200 meters. Of 37 samples collected, 11 returned over 1 ppm gold and 26 over 0.1 ppm gold. A notable boulder sample contained 14.6% Copper. The project, covering 3,941 hectares in BC's Golden Triangle, features 11 target areas and is adjacent to the Galore Creek project. A broad gold anomaly now extends over 1.5 kilometers, with samples returning up to 1.18 ppm gold.
Origen Resources ha annunciato risultati significativi dal suo programma di campionamento del progetto Wishbone. È stato scoperto un campione d'oro di alta qualità di 165 g/t lungo il margine orientale del Central Glacier. Il programma di campionamento del suolo ha esteso l'anomalia d'oro verso sud rispetto al Windy showing di 200 metri. Su 37 campioni raccolti, 11 hanno restituito più di 1 ppm d'oro e 26 più di 0,1 ppm d'oro. Un campione di boulder notevole conteneva 14,6% di Rame. Il progetto, che copre 3.941 ettari nel Golden Triangle della Columbia Britannica, presenta 11 aree obiettivo ed è adiacente al progetto Galore Creek. Un'ampia anomalia d'oro si estende ora per oltre 1,5 chilometri, con campioni che restituiscono fino a 1,18 ppm d'oro.

Origen Resources hat bedeutende Ergebnisse seines Sampling-Programms des Wishbone-Projekts bekannt gegeben. Eine hochgradige Goldprobe von 165 g/t wurde entlang des östlichen Randes des Central Glacier entdeckt. Das Bodenprobenprogramm erweiterte die Goldanomalie 200 Meter südlich der Windy-Anzeige. Von 37 gesammelten Proben hatten 11 mehr als 1 ppm Gold und 26 mehr als 0,1 ppm Gold. Eine bemerkenswerte Gesteinsprobe enthielt 14,6% Kupfer. Das Projekt, das 3.941 Hektar im Golden Triangle von BC umfasst, verfügt über 11 Zielgebiete und grenzt an das Galore Creek-Projekt. Eine breite Goldanomalie erstreckt sich nun über 1,5 Kilometer, wobei Proben bis zu 1,18 ppm Gold zurückgeben.
- High-grade gold sample of 165 g/t discovered at new showing
- 14.6% Copper found in boulder sample
- Gold anomaly extended by 200 meters south and west
- 29.7% of collected samples (11 of 37) returned >1 ppm gold
- Expansion of anomalous zone to 1.5 kilometers
- Target area remains undrilled and unexplored
- Source of high-grade boulders not yet identified
- Drilling program delayed until 2025 season
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 26, 2024) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (FSE: 4VXA) (the "Company" or "Origen") is pleased to announce results from the recent Wishbone Project sampling program completed by Dr. Thomas Hawkins and the Origen field team.
Result Highlights
165 g/t gold sampled along the eastern edge of the Central Glacier.
Soil sampling has further extended the gold anomaly south of the Windy showing by 200 meters to the south and west.
The newly expanded gold anomaly has never been drilled nor trenched and is a priority target for Origen during the 2025 season.

Mapping and boulder sampling along the newly exposed 'Lake' showing on the eastern edge of the highly prospective Central Glacier has once again returned high grade gold in boulders and outcrop with a boulder sample returning 164.7 ppm gold1. Of the 37 samples collected, 11 returned greater than 1 ppm gold and 26 greater than 0.1 ppm gold. A boulder containing Chalcopyrite returning
South Windy Soil Sampling
209 soil and talus samples were collected south of the Windy target area and a remarkably broad, anomalous gold in soil/talus anomaly was outlined and now extends greater than 1.5 kilometres over the eastward facing slope of the valley. Samples returned <0.05 to 1.18 ppm gold with the highest sample results being close to where previous samples had returned in excess of several ppm gold in soil/talus fines. This area is high priority for further exploration to zero in on the source of the gold anomaly.

"Given the remarkable grades of gold that have been exposed by recent years of ice melt on the south and eastern flanks of the Central Glacier, we are confident that we are close to the bedrock source of these high-grade rock samples. 2025 is poised to be an exciting field season at Wishbone with these new results painting a picture of a very prospective corridor that deserves a robust field program next season," states Gary Schellenberg, CEO.

Origen fieldwork followed industry standard practices. Rock samples were collected by Geologists and placed into clear poly bags and labelled. Soil samples were collected into polythene bags with the B horizon targeted at a depth of 40-70 cm where available. In places where the B horizon was poorly developed, A horizon was collected and in locations where there was little soil development talus fines were collected. All samples were transported directly from the property and stored securely in camp. Samples were analysed by MSALABS of Langley B.C., a certified analytical laboratory (ISO 9001 and ISO 17025) with experience in the chemical analysis of geological materials.
Rock Samples
Samples were prepared using CRU-CPA (dry entire sample, crush up to 1 kg to
Soil Samples
Soil samples were prepared, dried, screened to 80 mesh and the plus fraction discard (PRP-757). Ultra trace levels of samples were analysed for 51 elements with a 3:1 Aqua Regia digestion and ICP-AES/MS finish. Some samples that did not meet the minimum aliquot size requirement for IMS-132 were analyzed using IMS-131 & IMS-130 and results reported by this method instead.
1Grab samples are by definition selective. Grab samples are solely designed to show the presence or absence of mineralization, and are not intended to provide nor should be construed as a representative indication of grade or mineralization at the Project.
2 Referenced nearby historic resources, deposits and mines provide geologic context for the Project, but are not necessarily indicative that the Project hosts similar potential, size or grades of mineralization.
