ORIGEN IP PROGRAM OUTLINES NEW GOLD-SILVER TARGET AT THE 100% OWNED WISHBONE PROJECT IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE
Origen Resources Inc. has released results from the recently completed induced polarization geophysical program on the company's 100-per-cent-owned Wishbone gold-silver project located in the prolific Golden Triangle in Northern British Columbia.
Key highlights:
- The survey tested known gold-silver vein mineralization at the Windy target and extended 700 metres farther southhwest to explore an extensive greater-than-50-part-per-billion gold-in-soil anomaly.
- Two gold-bearing veins show distinct responses. North Main vein corresponds to a resistivity high while the Main vein corresponds to a distinct resistivity low with high chargeability.
- Similar features are identified underlaying the Au-in-soil anomaly.
- Survey results encourage a more extensive survey to support a 3-D inversion model.
"We are pleased that IP appears to be a viable exploration tool to explore this target-rich project. Known gold veins at the Windy showing were detected as resistivity features, and a significant series of new resistivity targets have been revealed corresponding with strongly anomalous gold values in soil from the 2024 exploration campaign. We are excited to expand this survey over other targets on the property in preparation for diamond drilling in summer 2026," stated Gary Schellenberg, chief executive officer and director.
Wishbone is adjacent to the Galore Creek project jointly owned by Teck Resources and Newmont. Covering 3,941 hectares, the property has 11 target areas encompassing a high-grade gold-silver quartz-carbonate vein, as well as volcanogenic massive sulphide style mineralization, including the newly exposed Lake showing discovered in August of 2024 (see news release dated Nov. 26, 2024). Here, several boulders have been found at the base of the rapidly retreating Central Glacier with values exceeding 90 parts per million gold, including one returning 202.6 ppm gold.
The induced polarization survey
In early September, SJ Geophysics performed a two-line IP survey over the Windy mineralized area totalling 1.3 line kilometres. A Volterra distributed acquisition system was employed, and data were acquired using an in-line array with 25-metre and 50-metre dipoles. Current injections occurred every 25 to 50 m and were situated northeast of the in-line array. The two survey lines of a 300-metre and 1,000-metre length were spaced 100 m apart and ran roughly northeast/southwest.
The IP survey identified features interpreted to correspond with two known gold-bearing quartz veins (North Main vein and Main vein) at the Windy occurrence with distinct resistivity high and low features and chargeability low and high features, respectively. Additionally, a series of signatures over a 400-metre interval starting approximately 200 m southwest of the Main vein is interpreted to reflect similar structures crossing the survey line. Near-surface combined resistivity and chargeability lows for 200 m south of the Main vein correlate with alteration mapping. Based on the results of this initial survey, the company plans to conduct an expanded IP survey that will support 3-D modelling in preparation for a drilling campaign in 2026.
John Harrop, PGeo, a qualified person as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101, has supervised the preparation, or approved the scientific and technical disclosure, in the news release. Mr. Harrop is employed by Coast Mountain Geological Ltd. He is not independent of the company as defined in NI 43-101.
About Origen Resources Inc.
Origen is a project generator focused on identifying and advancing high-potential mineral exploration opportunities. The company is currently conducting due diligence on a prospective rare earth element project in Brazil under a recently signed letter of intent while continuing to advance its 100-per-cent-owned Los Sapitos lithium project in Argentina and the Wishbone gold-silver project in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. Origen also holds a portfolio of three additional precious and base metal projects in Southern British Columbia for which it is actively seeking partners.
