Origen Acquires Greenfield Lithium Targets in Newfoundland
Vancouver, BC, April 21, 2021. Origen Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Origen”) (CSE:ORGN ; FSE:4VX) is
pleased to announce that it has acquired over 29,000 hectares in a newly identified prospective lithium belt in
Newfoundland.
The Company has acquired by staking ten target areas with geological characteristics similar to the lithium
pegmatite belts found in Ireland, Nova Scotia and North Carolina that is home to Kings Mo untain, North
America’s longest producing lithium mine.
Origen contracted Coast Mountain Geological Ltd. to conduct a search for prospective lithium rich pegmatites
using their intimate knowledge of pegmatite hosted lithium deposits in North America , South America and
Europe.
Their search criteria focused on key characteristics indicative of lithium rich pegmatites:
• Similar tectonic setting to Kings Mountain and lithium pegmatite occurrences in Ireland;
• Age of the associated granite intrusive;
• Areas known for pegmatite occurrences;
• Highly favorable geochemical pathfinders;
• Prospective areas easily accessible and close to infrastructure.
“The Coast Mountain Group has been exploring and developing lithium projects around the world for over 13
years. We are incredibly fortunate to be able to capitalize on their knowledge base and guidance in acquiring
this under explored land package in Newfoundland that has the potential to rival some of the renowned lithium
belts in the world. Having Ganfeng Lithium Corp., one of the leading global lithium product manufacturers,
holding an existing equity stake is a strong vote of confidence in the Compan y’s management team,” states
Blake Morgan Company President.
Pegmatites have been identified in regional mapping of Newfoundland since at least the middle of the 1900s.
During the mid-1960s, the Newfoundland government conducted two seasons of pegmatite surveys to evaluate
their economic potential. Beryl bearing pegmatites were mapped, but very little was known about the zonation
of metals like beryllium, tantalum, and lithium within pegmatite fields. Since then significant amounts of new
regional geochemical data has been released yet n o modern day l ithium exploration techniques have been
applied in this highly prospective region. Origen intends on capitalizing on the unique lithium exploration
expertise of its consultant to rapidly advance its newly acquired prospects to a drill stage later this season.
One of the world’s largest lithium suppliers, Ganfeng Lithium Corp. holds a 4.7% equity stake in in Origen.
