[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 6, 2020) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (the \"Company\" or \"Origen\") is pleased to announce the confirmation of multiple high grade gold and silver veins from the initial reconnaissance conducted at the Windy prospect on the Wishbone Property (see Company news release dated July 22 and August 19, 2020) and support for the high prospectivity of the Windy target area as originally believed. Key Highlights The recent exploration program was successful in verifying historical results and confirmed the location of historical drilling and trenching at Windy while identifying additional mineralization and exploration targets. Higher than expected silver grades were encountered with one 60cm chip sample grading 1173 g/t Ag from the Camp vein; Two new gold bearing quartz veins discovered with one grading 16.3 g/t Au over a 0.2m chip; 1000m x 500m area exhibits broad gold-silver mineralization open in all directions; A significant percentage of samples collected in 2020 returned notable gold grades; A region of highly anomalous gold in soils remains unexplored 100 to 400m to the south of the historical veins where cover potentially conceals undiscovered veins. Compelling mineralization and structural setting at Windy warrant comprehensive geophysical program to assist in defining drill targets; and The company has geologists on the ground conducting a follow up program and has commissioned a contract geophysicist to advise on the type and scope of a geophysical survey to be conducted. \"Our first program at Windy not only confirmed our logic in securing the project but has also expanded on it with impressive new discoveries. Now with firsthand knowledge of the project, we keenly await the results of our follow up program,\" states Blake Morgan, Company President. Windy Target Area Gold-Silver Mineralization The 2020 reconnaissance exploration program at Windy focused within a 1000 x 500m area within a mid-slope plateau where previous operators identified a series of gold bearing quartz veins and defined a broad exceedingly high gold in soil geochemical response adjacent and along slope to the known veins. The recent exploration program was designed to verify the historic results and determine if the Windy target area is as compelling as originally assessed. The July 2020 reco...
