ORIGEN ANNOUNCES VOLUNTARY ADOPTION OF SEMI-ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORTING PILOT

Origen Resources Inc. has elected to voluntarily participate in the semi-annual financial reporting pilot program. The SAR pilot was introduced by the Canadian Securities Administrators under Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 (Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers).

By participating in the SAR pilot, the company is exempt from the requirement to file interim financial reports and associated management's discussion and analysis for the first and third financial quarters of its financial year. The company, which has a March 31 financial year-end, will continue to file its audited annual financial statements and its semi-annual interim financial reports (for the second financial quarter), along with the related MD&A and officer certifications, within the timelines required by applicable securities laws.

The company's board of directors approved the transition to semi-annual reporting to significantly reduce the administrative and compliance burdens associated with quarterly reporting. This shift allows management to optimize resource allocation, redirecting executive time and corporate capital directly toward enhancing the company's core business operations and strategic growth initiatives. The company confirms it meets all the eligibility criteria to participate in the SAR pilot, including having annual revenues of $10-million or less in its most recent audited financial statements.

The company intends to skip the filing of its interim financial report and MD&A for the first financial quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company's next scheduled financial filing will be its semi-annual financial statements for the six-month period ending Sept. 30, 2026. This news release is being filed pursuant to Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 (Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers).
