Origen Mobilizes Exploration Crews to Newfoundland
Lithium Projects
Vancouver, BC, April 12, 2022. Origen Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Origen”) (CSE:ORGN; FSE:4VX A) is
pleased to announce that exploration crews have been mobilized to Newfoundland to follow -up on the
numerous and extensive lithium anomalies identified in fall 2021 field work and to complete the planned phase
one evaluation of all claim holdings.
2021-2022 Exploration Program
Field work completed in late fall 2021 included only eight of the Company’s twenty greenfield lithium prospects
in Newfoundland that have never before seen any meaningful exploration work. A total of 292 till, 28 rock and
154 biogeochemical samples were collected and submitted for analysis.
Given the scarcity of outcrop on some claims and flat lying terrane, which can make spotting outcrops difficult
during traverses, Origen and its Consultants have utilized satellite image processing to identify areas with
greatest potential for bedrock exposure. This information combined with the geochemical information being
obtained from the biogeochemical sampling of spruce bark and the analytical results from till sampling will help
prioritize areas for advancement to drill targets later this year.
By using a combination of geological mapping, biogeochemi cal, rock and till sampling , the Company is
optimizing exploration across the variety of terranes encountered along this emerging lithium belt given the
presence of seasonal variations and resulting challenges . The Company and its consultants bring 12 years of
experience in lithium exploration to the project and continue to further refine leading exploration techniques
with each new phase of field work and results received.
Results from the current phase of exploration will enable prioritization of targets for phase two work planned
for later this year as the Company moves towards drill testing.
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.
About Newfoundland Lithium Belt
The Newfoundland Lithium Belt exhibits all the characteristics of a major lithium rich corridor observed from
Ireland to the Carolinas. There are key indicative signs that point to specific target areas with high expectations
for the discovery of lithium rich pegmatites. Numerous occurrences of pegmatites have been observed in
proximity to prospective lithium-cesium-tantalum (“LCT”) geochemical signatures. Mapping of the geochemical
pathfinders for lithium has revealed distinct vectors that have guided the Company to focus in on priority areas
and acquire a commanding land position in this new belt.
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 coincides with the ‘sweet spot’ when lithium rich
pegmatites were emplaced along the belt.
