Origen Stakes Additional Lithium Claims in Newfoundland
Vancouver, BC, October 18, 2021. Origen Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Origen”) (CSE:ORGN; FSE:4VXA)
is pleased to announce that it has staked an additional claim block covering approximately 3,500 hectares within
the Newfoundland Lithium Belt. This brings the Company’s total holdings to over 37,000 hectares in this newly
identified and highly prospective lithium corridor.
These new claims are lo cated adjacent to Sokoman Minerals Corp. and Benton Resources Inc’s Golden Hope
Joint Venture. Recent announcement s by the companies reported high grade lithium values in grab samples
taken from pegmatite dykes on their project. Origen’s newly staked claims contain the following key
characteristics as identified in the Company’s earlier acquisitions that are 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;
“We are extremely excited about this acquisition, in a now proven lithium region. The team has worked
tirelessly compiling the data out of Newfoundland and we are thrilled to acquire such a prospective asset. The
recent announcement of the discovery of lithium bearing pegmatites on an adjacent claim block validates the
prospectively of our existing land package and motivated us to acquire more claims in the area. We are eagerly
awaiting the receipt of our work permits as fieldwork is planned to begin shortly. With Ganfeng Lithium already
owning a 4. 3% stake in the C ompany, Origen is in a prime position to increase value for our shareholders ,”
states Company President, Blake Morgan.

Exploration Plans
The Company intends to mobilize crews into the region within the next few weeks to commence mapping,
prospecting and geochemical sampling over its new holdings. The immediate goal is to define our priority target
areas in this new prospective lithium belt by applying exploration techniques developed over the last two
decades on the Avalonia (Lei nster) pegmatite belt in Ireland . In addition to bringing priority targets to drill
readiness on the Company’s existing properties , the Company’s technical team will continue to employ their
extensive experience and knowledge to identify new prospective targets within this burgeoning lithium district.
About the Newfoundland Lithium Belt
The Newfoundland Lithium Belt exhibits all of the characteristics of a major lithium rich corridor as observed in
Ireland and 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 that exhibit highly -favorable 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 the more prospective 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 world-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 s with the ‘sweet s pot’ occurrence of
highly favorable lithium rich pegmatites.
