[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 9, 2020) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (the \"Company\" or \"Origen\") is pleased to announce that it has now received the final assay results from its Phase One exploration program at the Rat and Windy prospects on the Company's Wishbone property. These final eleven assays demonstrate that six of the eleven samples have a significant component of coarse gold contributing 13 to 70% of the total gold. Key Highlights The Rat Boulder Train, exhibiting high grade gold in float, continues to grow in size and grade, including the discovery of a sample that returned 175.7 g/t Au approximately 100m from the receding edge of a glacier; A grab sample of mineralized breccia from the southern edge of the Rat prospect that assayed 36.3 g/t Au opens the door to a new priority target area; Approximately half of the samples reported here have substantial proportions of coarse gold indicating that some previously reported sample results may be under-reporting gold grades; The Company completed a Phase Two exploration program in October and is awaiting results; and, Airborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys to be conducted prior to next field season. \"The discovery of the coarse-grained gold at the Rat Prospect not only in the 'Boulder Train', but in outcrop in a relatively unprospected quartz-iron carbonate veined area makes this prospect our priority target for next season. We are thrilled with our Phase 1 results which revealed numerous high-grade targets in preparation for drilling next season. Samples from our Phase 2 exploration program completed in October have been submitted for analysis, and we look forward to seeing the results,\" states Blake Morgan, Company President. Three new positive outcomes of the new data include: The Boulder Train with high-grade gold results at Rat continues to grow in size and grade. This now includes a boulder located 100 meters from the edge of a retreating glacier that returned 175.7 g/t gold of which 13.5% was contained in the coarse fraction. Fresh snow ended further work this season on tracing the source of the high-grade boulders. The Company is eager to return to work on this priority target next season using this seasons new data to focus the search. Target priority of the quartz-iron carbonate breccia and veins south of the basin at...
