Orogen Royalties Sells the Kalium Canyon Gold Project to Green Light Metals

VANCOUVER, September 26, 2022 - (TSX.V:OGN)(OTCQX:OGNRF) Orogen Royalties Inc. ("Orogen" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into and closed a purchase and sale agreement (the "Agreement") pursuant to which Green Light Metals Inc. ("Green Light") and its subsidiary Green Light Wisconsin LLC ("GLW") have acquired a 100% interest in the Kalium Canyon Gold Project (the "Project") from Orogen's subsidiary, Renaissance Exploration, Inc. ("Renaissance"). In connection with the Agreement, Renaissance and Badger Minerals LLC (a subsidiary of Green Light) have terminated their option agreement with respect to the Project (announced July 15, 2021).

Under the terms of the Agreement, GLW has acquired a 100% interest in the Project by paying $30,000 cash and issuing 1,000,000 common shares of Green Light at a deemed value of $400,000, subject to certain provisions upon listing on a recognized Canadian stock exchange. Orogen will retain up to a 3% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty and a one-time pre-production payment on certain claims up to US$5 million should the property be placed into commercial production.

About the Kalium Canyon Gold Project

The Project covers 135 claims in the Walker Lane trend (Figure 1) where many low sulfidation epithermal gold discoveries in Nevada have been found, including AngloGold Ashanti NA's Silicon deposit and Merlin area (where Orogen holds a 1% NSR royalty), North Bullfrog, C-Horst/Lynnda Strip, and Eastside. Locally, the project lies within the Red Mountain district where approximately 10 million ounces of silver were produced.

The Project contains the Kalium and Argenta zones, northeast trending mineralized structures that run parallel to the historic 16-1, Nivloc, and Mohawk mines where production came from large continuous veins underground. (Figure 2).

The Kalium structure is an undrilled, one- to two-kilometre-long corridor overlain by a steam heated cell of alunite-kaolinite alteration. The Argenta structure to the southeast is approximately four to five kilometres long and hosts a known gold-rich stockwork vein system with historic chip channel samples from 1947 of 15 metres grading 3.74 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and later reverse circulation drilling returning up to 46 metres grading 1.2 g/t gold. The mineralization is hosted by high-angle breccias which are open to depth. Siliceous sinters exposed at the surface attest to the shallow level of exposure of this structural zone, similar to the shallow style of alteration exhibited by the Kalium structure.

Both structural zones have potential for hosting precious metal mineralization beneath shallow caps, and past drilling has been limited to small portions of these systems.

Transaction Details

GLW has acquired a 100% interest in the Project by paying $30,000 cash and issuing 1,000,000 common shares of Green Light at a deemed value of $400,000, subject to certain provisions upon listing on a recognized Canadian stock exchange:

• Should the listing price of Green Light be less than $0.40 per common share, Green Light will issue additional top-up shares such that the total share issuance value equals $400,000.
• In the event Green Light is not listed on a recognized Canadian exchange within two years, Green Light shall pay Orogen an additional $100,000 cash.

Orogen will retain a 3% NSR royalty on 34 KC claims and 80 MS claims of which 1% can be purchased for US$2.0 million. In addition, Orogen will retain a 2% NSR royalty on the Marty 8-14 and 30-35 claims.

On the Marty 1-7 and SP 11 claims, Orogen will receive a one-time payment of US$5 per ounce gold-equivalent based on gold equivalent ounces estimated in a mineral reserve and resource statement set out in a NI 43-101 feasibility study and paid within 60 days from the start of commercial production, capped at US$5.0 million.
