[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 2020) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (the \"Company\" or \"Origen\") is pleased to announce an update of fieldwork on its wholly-owned Wishbone property (\"Wishbone\" or the \"Property\"), comprising 3,971 hectares (ha.) in the highly prospective Golden Triangle of Northwest British Columbia. Field work commenced in mid-July and is designed to target a series of gold and silver quartz-carbonate veins and breccias occurrences over the nearly 12 km length of the claims in preparation for a larger, follow-up exploration program. To date crews have focused on the Windy and adjacent Rat zones. Key Highlights Receding ice has exposed a large, new prospective vein (Lewis Vein) at Rat. A total of 5.8 metres of channel sampling has been completed over this new exposure. Prospecting the Rat zone resulted in the discovery of three main zones over a strike length of 1.2km centered on the newly discovered Lewis Vein. A total of 64 grab, 11 chip and 4 channel samples have been taken at the Rat Zone to date. Confirmatory and characterization samples taken at Windy to date total 20 grab, 15 chip and 4 channel samples. Teck drill holes and trenches were accurately located on the ground and important historical work is being re-established. Observations suggest a close geological relationship between the Windy and adjacent Rat Zones greatly enhancing the Company's understanding of Wishbone's prospectivity. \"We are excited by the initial reports from our field team and the new targets that they have generated in such a short time. The geological model that is emerging shows the relationship between the Rat and Windy zones and will be key in targeting future drilling,\" states Blake Morgan, Company President. Rat Prospecting and sampling has resulted in 79 total rock samples being collected, of which 64 were grab samples, 11 were chip samples and 4 were channel samples. Rat provides a three dimensional view of a mineralizing system that is similar to Windy approximately 3 km to the northeast and without the vegetation and overburden cover found at Windy. The company believes that the two areas combined provide valuable insights to understanding prospectivity and targeting on the Property and are themselves both high priority targets. The three main zones of the Ra...
