Origen Capitalizes on Lithium First Mover Advantage in Newfoundland

with Established Technical Team

Vancouver, BC, April 26, 2021. Origen Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Origen”) (CSE:ORGN ; FSE:4VX) is

pleased to announce that through its association with the Coast Mountain Group (“CMG”), a leading technical

team that has been spearheading lithium exploration around the globe and has developed longstanding

relationships with eminent clients such as Ganfeng Lithium Corp ., one of the leading global lithium product

manufacturers, the Company has been strategically acquiring ground in Newfoundland that has the potential

to rival some of the most renowned lithium belts in the world.

The Newfoundland Lithium Belt exhibits all the characteristics of a major lithium rich corridor, that has yet to

receive the focus that it deserves due to the attention historically and currently paid to other prospective

metals. There are key indicative signs that point to specific target areas with high expectations for the discovery

of lithium rich pegmatites.

First and foremost, there are numerous occurrences of pegmatites observed that exhibit highly -favorable

lithium-cesium-tantalum (“LCT”) geochemical signatures. These fields of pegmatites have provided substantial

information and support for the prospectivity for discovery. Through the technical team’s expertise, the

mapping of the geochemical pathfinders have revealed distinct vectors that will allow the Company to focus in

on the more prospective areas in a short and economical period of time.

These geochemical pathfinders, on a regional scale, reveal a distinct corridor that transects Newfoundland and

corresponds to the tectonic suture zone hosting the w orld-class Carolina Tin-Spodumene Belt and the lithium

pegmatite occurrences in Ireland that have received significant attention in recent years. In addition, the age

of the associated parent granites observed in Newfoundland coincide with the ‘sweet spot’ occurrence of highly

favorable lithium rich pegmatites.

Another key advantage is the ease of access to the most highly prospective areas. Newfoundland’s existing

road network and available infrastructure will expedite exploration, advancement and any potent ial

development of the Company’s projects. Also having tidewater in reasonable close proximity is a major

positive.

Demonstrating the credibility of the Company’s endeavours, o ne of the world ’s largest lithium product

manufacturer and supplier, Ganfeng Lithium Corp., holds a 4.7% equity stake in Origen.

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 technica l disclosure in the news release. Mr. Harrop is employed

by Coast Mountain Geological Ltd. He is not independent of the Company as defined in NI43-101.
