[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 23, 2023) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (FSE: 4VXA) (the \"Company\" or \"Origen\") Origen is pleased to announce results from the recent Wishbone Project site visit and sampling program completed by Dr. Thomas Hawkins and John Harrop. New high-grade gold samples were found at surface in glacial boulders on both edges of the rapidly-retreating central glacier. Figure 1 - New results from the August mapping and sampling New results from boulders found along the southern edge of the central glacier have returned 202.6 ppm gold in an area that was previously identified as being a primary silver-rich zone. Separate samples collected from boulders from this area contained up to 109 ppm silver and 1.2% copper. This sample is compared to the 175.5 ppm gold sample collected from a glacial boulder on the northern edge of the same glacier in 2021. Gary Schellenberg stated, \"Given the area over which we are finding gold and silver there is a remarkable amount of gold at surface on the property. We are confident that we are finally close to the bedrock source of these high-grade boulders and soil samples, coincident with prospective geophysical structures beneath the rapidly retreating glacier in the center of the property. This area will become the focus of work going forward.\" At the Windy showing located on the northern part of the property, two notable soil samples were collected south of historical drilling and trenching for confirmation of a historical gold in soil anomaly. The two samples returned 1.08 ppm gold and 8.57 ppm gold. There is no known mineralisation in the area of these results. Following up on the results will be a priority next year. During the brief site visit, gold was found in exposed structurally-hosted gold veins at the 'Goldie' target, an area lying between the Windy and Rat showings. This find shows that the ground between the two historically richest prospects remains prospective for gold-bearing structures. Very little exploration has been completed on this area to date. Of the 53 rock samples collected across the entire property, 35 contained greater than 0.1ppm gold, with 15 samples greater than 1 ppm gold.
