Origen Makes Strategic Investment in Opawica Explorations Inc.
Vancouver, BC, June 8, 2021. Origen Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Origen”) (CSE:ORGN; FSE:4VX) is
pleased to announce that it has made a strategic investment into Opawica Explo rations Inc. (TSX-V:OPW), a
Canadian junior exploration company holding a strong portfolio of precious and base metal properties within
the Rouyn-Noranda region of the Abitibi Gold Belt in Québec and 39,000 ha in Newfoundland’s new gold district.
"We are pleased and excited to have made a strategic investment in an active and emerging gold district
highlighted by the recent success of New Found Gold. This investment compliments the Company's project
generation business model by providing it access to additional opportunities throughout the district," states
Gary Schellenberg, Company President.
About Opawica
Opawica currently holds a 100% interest in six projects totalling 39,000 ha in the Exploits subzone of
Newfoundland. These assets host similar geological, geochemical, and structural settings similar to the
adjacent Queensway discovery. The lack of modern exploration on the properties presents an opportunity for
significant new discoveries in this emerging gold district. Opawica also holds two flagship high grade gold assets
in Quebec, which are fully funded for a 10,000m drill program.
The Transaction
Origen has purchased 750,000 units @ $0.40 per unit with each unit comprising one common share and one
half of one share purchase warrant with each full warrant being exercisable into a common share at a price of
$0.60. The transaction is deemed to be a non-arm's length transaction as Blake Morgan, a Director of Origen
is also an Officer and Director of Opawica.
Other News
The company has issued 200,000 warrants to a consultant of the issuer, in partial consideration of the services
provided. The warrants are exercisable for a period of 2 years at 36 cents per share.
