[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 22, 2020) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (the \"Company\" or \"Origen\") is pleased to provide highlights from the historical trenching and drill programs conducted at the Company's Wishbone property (Wishbone\" or \"Project\") prominently situated within British Columbia's Golden Triangle. Exploration field crews are currently at site assessing the numerous high grade gold occurrences reported from the historical work conducted at the Windy Gold Zone. Key Highlights Seven gold mineralized quartz-sulphide veins were uncovered by Teck in 1986 within a small400 x 500 metre area; Main Vein was traced for 500 metres in length and is apparently getting wider to the east where depth of overburden precluded exposure by hand trenching; 7.8 g/t Au over 3.3m, including 19.1 g/t Au over 1.6m, chip samples at the eastern end of the Main Vein; All the known veins remain open along trend; Nine drill holes tested the central area of the exposed veins with all the holes reporting notable intersections of gold mineralization; Region of highly anomalous gold in soils remains unexplored 200m to the south of the Main Vein; and Origen geological crews are currently in the field. \"The magnitude of what was discovered at Windy in such a small area across four short exploration campaigns confirms that we are, in fact, in an extremely prospective high-grade gold mineralizing zone. The Windy Gold Zone represents just one of nine underexplored gold mineralization zones on the Wishbone property and we are incredibly excited about the remainder of our 2020 season if the opportunity we see at Windy is an indication of the property's potential as a whole,\" states Blake Morgan, Company President. Windy Gold Zone Historical Trench Results The Windy Zone is situated within the northern part of the Wishbone property and was the primary target area of interest through Teck's 1981 to 1988 exploration programs on the property. Subsequent to Teck in 1981 and 1982 discovering a concentration of markedly high gold grades in soils (see Company news release dated July 15, 2020) and the discovery of the first gold bearing quartz vein in 1986, Windy was subject to a more comprehensive prospecting and trenching program in 1987. At the conclusion of the 1987 exploration program, seven gold mineralized quartz-sulphid...
