Orogen Royalties Acquires New Epithermal Gold-Silver Target in Durango, Mexico
Orogen Royalties Inc. (OGNRF) announced the acquisition of the La Verdad epithermal gold-silver project in Durango, Mexico, emphasizing its rich geological potential. The project covers 264 hectares and features gold and silver-rich veins spanning over 2.5 kilometers. Recent trench results showed promising grades, including 3.1 g/t gold and 190 g/t silver. Notably, La Verdad shares geological traits with the Ermitaño project, which contributes cash flow through a royalty. This acquisition aligns with Orogen's strategy for organic royalty generation and growth.
- Acquisition of La Verdad project enhances portfolio in the Mexican Silver Belt.
- Recent trench results show high-grade gold and silver, including 3.1 g/t gold and 190 g/t silver.
- Geological similarities to Ermitaño project which generates positive cash flow.
- None.

Laurence Pryer, VP Exploration at Orogen commented, "La Verdad was identified by Orogen's technical team using our proprietary regional databases. The property offers excellent opportunity for discovery with several geological similarities to Ermitaño, which was identified by Orogen in 2015 (P&P reserves of 337 Koz gold and 4.9 Moz silver; Figure 41).La Verdad and other projects being generated by our technical teams illustrate Orogen's commitment to organic royalty generation as a pathway to value creation."
About La Verdad
The 264 hectare La Verdad project is in southeastern Durango, Mexico on the margin of the Sierra Madre Occidental within the Mexican Silver Belt (Figure 1).
The property contains a low-sulfidation epithermal system consisting of two principal subparallel quartz veins, Santa Rita and La Verdad, that occur along a strike length of over 2.5 kilometres. The veins are developed in folded Cretaceous limestones with rare siltstone interbeds.
Multiple stages of white, yellow and green quartz veins outcrop and display classic low sulfidation style textures. The Santa Rita and La Verdad veins may extend beneath shallow alluvium which covers over 40 percent of the potential vein strike. Orogen recently identified highly anomalous gold and silver in both the Santa Rita and La Verdad veins (Figure 2).
Less than one hundred metres of the vein strike was previously drill tested in 2013 (Figure 2). Undrilled dilational zones in the vein, with thicknesses of greater than 30 metres correlate with the highest gold and silver values from recent rock chip sampling (Figure 3). Drill targets are ready for testing and the project is currently available.
