Origin Gold Corporation: Outlines its Exploration Program on La Pantera

04.10.2018  |  GlobeNewswire
MONTREAL, Oct. 04, 2018 - Origin Gold Corporation ("Origin or the “Corporation") (TSX VENTURE: OIC) is pleased to announce the acceptance by the Exchange of the acquisition of an interest of 50% of the La Pantera (the “Property”) by the Corporation (news release of August 17, 2018).

Origin initiated its first surface exploration program on the Property that covers an area of 1,734 hectares in the gold rich San Lucas Range, department of Bolivar, in Colombia. The program is in line with the recommendation of the National Instrument (‘NI”) 43-101 technical report dated August 20th, 2018, prepared by Pierre O’Dowd.

There are two main targets to be addressed by the exploration program:

a. Surface targets

- It will consist of the surface reconnaissance of 10 known zones, totalling an area of 4.11 km2 of saprolite (bedrock decomposed by weathering) being currently mined by artisans via shallow open pits and processed by gravity methods for their gold content.

- The most important zone (No 6) is so far, 3.4 km in length by 400 to 800 metres in width. Limited samples taken by Origin and O’Dowd range from 0.336 g/t Au to 0.536 g/t Au in the Matos mine area (No 2) and from 1.002 g/t Au to 1.282 g/t Au in the Mina Bulla area (No 10). Both mines have underground workings. The mineralized saprolite is above.

- The origin of such widespread gold mineralization has to be explored to determine its potential. It is to be noted that the size of the surface mining areas is much larger now that what is shown on a 2012 map of the concession indicating the increase success of such surface mining operations.

b. Underground mining targets

There are several old and new small gold mining operations on the Property. They have to be evaluated. So far, only 3 of them have been visited and sampled (reconnaissance operation). The results are as follows:

Sample #	Au g/t	Description	Sampler
Bulla 1 11.99 Vein material from U/G operation, 40 cm Origin
Bulla 2A 14.98 Vein material from U/G operation, 45 cm, sulphide rich Origin
Bulla 2B 7.34 Vein material from piles at surface Origin
P006 6.66 Vein material (15% suph) from Mina Torrecillas, U/G Origin
MB P01 24.35 Mina Bulla, vein 0.7 m thick Origin, 2017
MB P02 0.77 Mina Bulal, vein 0.5 m thick Origin, 2017
MB P03 13.65 Mina Bulla, vein 0.45 – 0.50 m thick Origin, 2017
MB P04 14.93 Mina Bulla, vein 0.20 – 0.50 m thick Origin, 2017
MB P05 6.51 Mina Bulla, vein 0.35 – 0.70 , thick Origin, 2017
MB P06 28.57 Mina Bulla, vein 0.55 m thick Origin, 2017
81081 7.49 Mina Los Caballeros, selected material P. O’Dowd
81082 169.63 Mina Bulla, vein in shear zone P. O’Dowd
81086 7.85 Mina Torrecillas, surface pile P. O’Dowd

Note:
All samples of Bulla are channel samples across the indicated widths and different veins.
Exception:
- samples Bula 2B and P06 are a grab samples and not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the Property.

- sample 81082 is a channel sample across a 50 to 70 cm. wide vein.
Samples taken from surface piles are representative of what the pile should run if processed.

Those are very encouraging result. At Mina Bulla area, the amount of parallel mineralized veins could probably be related to presence of a stockwork or shear zone. This possibility will be investigated.

The scope of work of the exploration program:

The Property represents quite a challenge. There is gold there but how much? The initial exploration program will consist of:

- Regional geology and geophysics.

- Survey of saprolite and vein type production; and

- Grade and volume definition of portion of the saprolite.

The program, having a budget of US$100,000, will be done over a period of three months.


Quality Assurance / Quality Control/

All samples were sent to Actlabs in Medellin and were assayed for gold using the following methods:

- Code 1A2 Au – Fire Assay AA

- Code AQ1-AR Ag Agua Regia – AA.

- Code 1A3 Au - Fire Assay Gravimetric (QOP AA-Au)

The samples were properly located (GPS), collected, bagged, numbered (paper tag inside each bag and plastic bag numbered with a marker), described and sealed on site under the supervision of the geologist. They were transported by truck to Medellin to an accredited laboratory (Actlabs in Medellin, Colombia, ISO9001:2015).
