[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 15, 2020) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (the \"Company\" or \"Origen\") is pleased to announce plans for fieldwork on the recently acquired Wishbone property (Wishbone\" or \"Project\") (see Company news release dated June 1, 2020). Fieldwork is commencing in mid-July and is designed to confirm and assess the numerous sites historically reporting high grade gold geochemical results in soil and rock in preparation for a larger exploration program. Key Highlights Nine gold and copper-gold mineralized zones over 10 km trend; Soil samples reporting over 1 g/t Au at multiple target areas; Two above limit, >3 g/t Au soil samples and a separate six consecutive sample stations reporting >0.5 g/t Au in soils on the southernmost sample line of the Windy soil grid; Age of mineralization similar to Brucejack; and Exploration strategy in place and commencement of the 2020 fieldwork. \"Acquiring a property with so many prospective targets in an area as productive as the Golden Triangle was a significant success for Origen. The parallels that we see across the multiple targets at Wishbone relative to the more advanced projects in the district highlights the scale and large potential of the Wishbone Property\" states Blake Morgan, President. Wishbone Background The Wishbone project sits prominently within British Columbia's Golden Triangle (Fig 1), a richly endowed mineral district in the northwest of the province. The Property contains numerous, underexplored gold vein, gold stockwork and copper-gold volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) prospects with the gold vein mineralizing event reporting a similar age as that of the mineralization at Brucejack. Wishbone consists of a group of 10 claims totalling 3,832 ha approximately 45km northwest of Bob Quinn Lake on the Stewart-Cassiar highway (Hwy 37), 12km west of the Company's LGM property and is immediately adjacent to the east of the Galore Creek Mining Corp claim block (Fig 2). Wishbone was originally staked by Teck Explorations Limited in 1980 which they operated until 1988. Teck conducted systematic detailed mapping, soil sampling and trenching which identified at least nine (9) mineralized zones over a N-S trend of approximately 10km length (Fig 3). Reconnaissance soil sampling by Teck identified three prospective...
