Origen Updates Exploration Program on Newfoundland Lithium
Projects
Vancouver, BC, June 1, 2022. Origen Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Origen”) (CSE:ORGN; FSE:4VXA) is
pleased to provide an update on its Newfoundland Lithium exploration program.
2021-2022 Exploration Program
Exploration continues on the Company’s twenty greenfield lithium prospects in Newfoundland. Exploration
crews collected and submitted for analysis, a total of 225 rock, 316 till and 568 biogeochemical samples in
recently completed phases of fieldwork. The Company eagerly awaits the results from the spring 2022
program as analytical results from the autumn 2021 phase of exploration proved Origen’s exploration concept
by confirming existing lithium anomalies and generating new targets.
Satellite image processing was used to optimize fieldwork and outlined numerous potential pegmatite
outcrops. These locations were investigated by field crews and samples are being analyzed for lithium and
associated pathfinder elements. Pegmatites identified at these locations are centimeters to metres in width
and in some cases were traced for up to 100 meters along strike before the pegmatites were lost under cover.
The recently completed work on numerous pegmatite clusters confirmed many have beryl associated with
them, which is an important mineral known to form part of district scale LCT (lithium-caesium-tantalum)
pegmatites. In addition, internal zoning within larger pegmatite dykes was observed and when combined
with geochemical results and mineralogy will enable targeting for our next phase of exploration to vector in
on the heart of lithium rich, spodumene bearing pegmatites. The next phase of work is planned for later this
year and will move the project towards drill testing.
“In one year the concept of discovering lithium in Newfoundland has gone from an idea to reality. We are very
excited and encouraged with our initial results and work done by others exploring for lithium in the province.
Being one of the first companies to identify the lithium potential in Newfoundland has allowed us to acquire an
enviable land package covering some of the most prospective geology in the province,” states Blake Morgan,
President.

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 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 coincides with the ‘sweet spot’ when
lithium rich pegmatites were emplaced along the belt.
