Origen Completes Exploration Program on Its Broken Handle High-Grade Gold-Silver Project, Southern B.C.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 16, 2025) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (the "Company" or "Origen") is pleased to announce that it has completed an exploration program on its road-accessible, 2,098 hectare Broken Handle high-grade gold-silver and base metal project ("Broken Handle" or the "Project") located 50 km north of Grand Forks, B.C.

Key Highlights of Field Program

• Property-wide LiDAR survey completed that outlined greater than 50 areas of potential historical mining workings that ground crews followed up on.
• Ground truthing of the LiDAR-generated targets resulted in the discovery of 38 previously unknown historical adits, shafts, trenches and blast pits.
• 18 rock grab* samples were collected from outcrop and waste piles at the newly discovered historical workings over the course of the short field program.
• Mineralization in the rock grab samples ranged from trace to massive sulphides including pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite.

Property Highlights

• Broken Handle is located 3 km to the south of the prolific Franklin gold mining camp¹ which was a center of activity in the early 1900s and spanned a period of 76 years.
• Recent exploration work rediscovered several historically prominent mineral occurrences including showings that have not seen exploration work since the 1920's.
• Highlighted grab samples* from prior work include 23 g/t Au with 973 g/t Ag from the Zap showing, 7.17 g/t Au from the Alco showing, 0.53 g/t Au, 363 g/t Ag and 0.616% Cu from the Morrell Camp and 0.5 g/t Au, 315 g/t Ag and 1.58% Cu from the C.P.R. showing.

* Grab samples are by definition selective. Grab samples are solely designed to show the presence or absence of mineralization, and are not intended to provide nor should be construed as a representative indication of grade or mineralization at the Project. Refer below for fuller disclosure on the 2019 and 2022 grab sampling program and results.

⁽¹⁾ Camp refers to a colony of miners settled in proximity to a mine, or series of mines or workings.

Exploration crews focussed their attention on areas identified as potential historic workings from a recently completed LiDAR survey. In total, more than 50 areas of interest were identified as potential previously unknown historical workings, and field crews confirmed that the majority of these features were blast pits, trenches, shafts and adits. One adit of note that was discovered on the northern portion of the property was extensive and had timber supports and rails for ore carts indicating that a significant amount of work was put into this particular previously-unknown working. There is no documentation available regarding this adit and it is one of the most significant discoveries made to date on the property. Numerous samples were collected from waste piles and outcrop near these previously unknown workings and included trace to massive sulphides that include pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite.
