Origen Commences Fieldwork at the LGM Property
in British Columbia’s Mineral Rich Golden Triangle
Vancouver, B.C. August 5, 2020. Origen Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Origen”) (CSE:ORGN) is
pleased to announce the commencement of fieldwork on its wholly-owned LGM property (“LGM” or the
“Property”), comprising 26,771 hectares (ha.) in the highly prospective Golden Triangle of Northwest
British Columbia. Field work commenced in mid-July and is designed to target three separate gold +/-
copper targets within the Property in preparation for a larger, follow-up exploration program.
Key Highlights
• 2020 phase 1 exploration program is currently underway.
• The newly identified and highly gossanous Red Zone, on strike from Evergold Corp.’s Snoball
property2, undergoing first ever systematic exploration.
• The Grizzly prospect will be explored upslope from the historical Au-Cu soil anomaly as data
analysis points to an upslope source.
• The Origen team will investigate an overlooked quartz-sericite-pyrite altered zone 1 km NE of
the Lucifer Au-Cu mineral showing with multiple samples > 100 ppb Au in soil and rock.
• Some of the mineralization discovered to date on the Property appears to be associated with
the same intrusive rocks thought to be responsible for the Snip (Au), KSM (Au-Cu-Ag), Bronson
Slope (Au-Cu), Brucejack (Au-Ag) and other important mineral occurrences.
• Assay results will be expedited to allow for follow up work and possibly drilling during this
exploration season.
“After a thorough review of all available data, our geological team is excited to get boots on the ground
and turn newly developed theories into reality. Having so many exciting targets in BC’s mineral
endowed Golden Triangle has the entire Origen team eagerly anticipating what the phase one
explorations results could yield,” states Blake Morgan, Company President.
Red Zone
Origen has identified a highly prospective zone that bears geological and structural similarities to
mineralization on Evergold Corp.’s Snoball Property 2. Recent satellit e imagery shows new distinct
gossans located within mapped Hazelton Group rocks and along the Northmore Faul t that have not seen
any recorded exploration work. In addition to defining a geological contact, the Northmore Fault
represents a portion of the B.C. Geological Survey’s “Red Line”, interpreted to have a significant spatially
association with most major metal deposits in the Golden Triangle. The “Red Line” occurs at the
unconformable contact between Triassic Stuhini Group and Jurassic Hazelton Grou p rocks . Two
segments of “Red Line” contact cross the Red Zone, one of which is traced by the Northmore Fault, and
trends from Evergold’s property well onto Origen ’s LGM property. Origen will focus a portion of the
ongoing field program towards characteri zing the mineralized nature of the newly exposed goss ans and
prospecting the surrounding area. Initial field observations from the Origen team are very encouraging
and appear to support Origen’s current exploration model.

Grizzly
The Grizzly prospect is a Cu-Au target defined by a 1200 x 500 m Cu -Au soil anomaly centered on Grizzly
Creek, continuing well upslope to the peak of the ridge. Significant chip sample results from histor ical
trenches situated within the downslope portion of the soil anomaly include 0.87% Cu a nd 1.51 g/t Au
across 20 metres.
Field exploration by Origen at the Grizzly prospect w ill focus on attempting to decipher the structural
complexity of the showing in order to refine drill targeting, as well as verifying historical trench
locations. In addition, the porti on of the Au -Cu soil anomaly upslope from the main zone will be
prospected and sampled.
Chip samples were sent to Bondar Clegg Co Ltd of North Vancouver for analysis. Rock samples of 30g
were digested by flux in a fire assay and finished with AA for gold in addition to a seven element ICP
package (Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Sb, Mo). The digestion for ICP was not described. No assay certificates are
included in the assessment report. Quality assurance and quality control (“QA/QC”) m easures were not
documented, however a qualified person for Origen considers that the results disclosed are suitable for
guidance and characterization of the area at the current stage of explo ration. The soil and chip samples
disclosed in this news release were sourced directly from g eological maps and reports within
assessment reports available on the ARIS (Assessment Report Indexing System). The current exploration
field crew will aim to verify the historical results where viable.
Lucifer
The Lucifer Au-Cu showing (“Lucifer”), discovered by Noranda in 1991, consists of a 200 m x 250 m area
with > 100 ppb gold-in-soil anomaly and associated rock grab1 samples assaying from trace to > 1 g/t Au.
Of note, the Noranda alteration zone mapped at Lucifer in 1991 and the adjacent Voigtberg Au bulk
tonnage prospect 2, coincide with an illite -sericite ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and
Reflection Radiometer) anomaly interpreted by Von Einsiedel in a 2017 Assessment Report from satellite
images made available by the B.C. Government and may indicate a similar mineralizing system.
Origen plans to explore the above mentioned Lucifer showing to define more o ptimal drilling locations
as well as investigate a second anomalous gold zone 1 km NE of the Lucifer showing during 2020
fieldwork. Historical soil samples were wide ly spaced and minimal rock sampling was accomplished
therefore a more tightly spaced soil line is planned, and geological mapping and chip sampling is
planned for any altered outcropping rock.
1Soil geochemical and rock grab samples are solely designed to show the presence or absence of
mineralization. Soil geochemical and rock grab samples are by definition selective and not intended to
provide nor should be construed as a representative indi cation of grade or mineralization at the Project;
and both the soil geochemical and rock grab samples reported from the Project reflect a broad range i n
grade from below detection limit to the grades highlighted herein.
2Referenced adjacent historic deposits and showings provide geological context for the Property, but are
not necessarily indicative that the Project hosts similar potential, size or grades of mineralization.

Noranda soil samples lab certificates with Acme Labs of Vancouver and Unique Resourc es soil samples
lab certificates with ALS Minerals are provided in assessment reports . Acme used a 0.2g sample,
digested by perchloric/nitric acids and finished with ICP-AES. For gold analysis Acme used a 10g sample
digested in Aqua Regia for an AA finish . AL S used method ME -ICP41 and determined 35 elements by
ICP-AES, and method Au -ICP21 for gold with a 30g fire assay digestion and ICP -AES finish. For Noranda
rock samples Acme used the same methods following pulverization of the sample. Quality assuran ce
and quality control (“QA/QC”) measures were not documented, however a qualified person for Origen
considers that the results disclosed are suitable fo r guidance and characterization of the area at the
current stage of exploration. The soil and rock samples disclosed in this news release were sourced
directly from geological maps and reports within assessment reports available on the ARIS (Assessment
Report Indexing System). The current exploration field crew will aim to verify the historical results where
viable.
John Harrop, P Geo., a Qualified Person as that term is defined in NI 43 -101 has prepared, supervised
the preparation or approved the scientific and technical disclosure in the news release.
