Origen Resources Unveils Promising Results from B.C. Projects

On December 11, 2025, Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (FSE: 4VXA) announced significant findings from its LiDAR and rock sampling initiatives at the Broken Handle and Bonanza Mountain projects. Both projects are located north of Grand Forks, British Columbia, and are fully owned by Origen. The results reveal new mineralization opportunities and highlight the region’s historical mining significance.

Key Discoveries at Broken Handle

The LiDAR survey at the Broken Handle project uncovered at least 32 previously unknown historical workings. Subsequent ground evaluations confirmed new mineralized showings with impressive assay results, including up to 92 g/t Ag, 0.59% Cu, and 0.377 g/t Au. These findings prompted Origen to expand the project area by 356 hectares to encompass areas of rediscovered historical mining activity.

Located just 3 kilometers south of the renowned Franklin silver and gold mining camp, the Broken Handle project has a rich history of production. This camp generated over 1,392,000 ounces of silver and 55,500 ounces of gold over a span of 76 years. Recent exploration has rediscovered several prominent mineral occurrences that had not been explored since the 1920s, including significant grab samples from various showings.

Insights from the Bonanza Mountain Project

The Bonanza Mountain project also yielded promising results from its recent exploration activities. The LiDAR survey revealed at least 11 potential historical workings, with two shallow backpack drill holes completed at the Main Shaft. One of these holes produced a notable intercept of 0.52% Cu, 2.81% Zn, 0.022% W, and 10.8 g/t Ag over a length of 0.9 meters. This marks the first recorded tungsten grades within the Main Shaft skarn on the property.

The Bonanza Mountain site, historically known as Knight’s Camp, saw significant exploration from the late 1800s into the early 1900s. The property encompasses a significant polymetallic soil anomaly associated with the historic workings. Grab samples from earlier explorations have indicated substantial grades, including 2.44% Cu and 31 g/t Ag.

According to Gary Schellenberg, CEO and Director of Origen, “The shear number of new LiDAR generated targets across these two projects is quite impressive and reflects the mineral potential that historic miners exploited.” He further expressed hope that modern exploration methodologies could lead to the discovery of a new critical and precious metal camp comparable to the nearby Franklin camp.

Looking ahead, Origen plans an aggressive field program for 2026 to further investigate the newly identified workings and prepare the projects for drilling. This includes applying for a Multi-Year Notice of Work permit and extending geochemical grids to cover the newly rediscovered areas.

The company is also advancing its other projects, including the Los Sapitos Lithium Project in Argentina and the Wishbone Gold-Silver Project in British Columbia. Origen is actively seeking partners for its portfolio of mineral exploration opportunities.
