Origen Starts 885 Line Kilometre Airborne Magnetic and VTEM Geophysical Survey Over Middle Ridge Project in Newfoundland
Vancouver, January 21, 2021 - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (FSE: 4VX) (the "Company" or "Origen") is pleased to announce the commencement of an 885 line kilometre airborne magnetic and VTEM survey on its 7,875 hectare Middle Ridge Gold Project in Newfoundland.

Origen has contracted Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario to conduct the survey.

"We are excited to take this opportunity to conduct an airborne survey well prior to the spring season and the planned commencement of our field program. Information gained from this survey will benefit us greatly in preparation for our exploration program by allowing us to prioritize exploration targets for in field follow-up and will provide invaluable aid in the subsequent development of quality drill targets," states Company President Blake Morgan.
