Origen Increases REE Land Position and Provides an Exploration UpdateJune 10, 2026 9:00 AM
NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 10, 2026) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (FSE: 4VXA) (the "Company" or "Origen") is pleased to announce that it has made application to acquire the Rare Earth Elements rights for an additional 7,865 hectares in Piaui Brazil.Exploration planning and permitting has now commenced. Key Points:Applications have now been submitted to acquire an additional 7,865 hectares for a grand total today of 76,479 hectares.Signed contract with Aero Cientifica to conduct a 2695 km Airborne Radiometric survey.Permitting is underway for both ground sampling and airborne surveys.Community and State Government engagement meetings are being held.Crews have now completed the field Due Diligence on the recently announced Campo de Cima project and are awaiting results.Based on newly sourced geological information, Origen has made applications to acquire an additional 7,865 hectares within Piaui state in northern Brazil. The new areas cover either existing showings and/or favourable geology that may host REEs. When approved, Origen will control the exploration rights to over 76,000 hectares in the states of Bahia and Piaui.Permitting has commenced to allow the Company to conduct an airborne radiometric survey over its northern most claims. Radiometrics are recognized a key tool in the identification of prospective REE layers within the region. The fixed wing survey will total 2695-line km and will be a stepping stone to identifying hidden targets for further investigation. Origen has contracted Aero Cientifica, Servicos Aereos Especializados of Rio de Janeiro to conduct the survey.In conjunction with the airborne survey a detailed mapping and sampling program will focus on the initial REE discovery areas and investigate tracing the phosphate beds hosting the REEs beyond that original prospect. Results of the mapping and sampling will be used in conjunction with the airborne to extend target generation across the Picos area Property. Permitting is also underway to conduct ground follow up work on both project areas. A key component of permitting involves local community, municipal and State level meetings. Several productive meetings have been held to date, and the Company has hired a local representative to assist in communication at the community level. Origen has added a section to our website with Portuguese translation of news releases to assist in keeping local communities informed."We are very pleased with the reception that our representatives have been received from state government, local government and individual landowners. With the acquisition phase well underway our work now is transitioning to developing drillable targets at the Picos and Campo de Cima projects. We look forward to working with our local partners to explore and develop our portfolio of REE projects," states Gary Schellenberg, CEOField due diligence on the Campo de Cima project, announced on April 26, 2026, has now been completed. The primary target area is 4km x 6km in size and vendor sampling shows it is highly anomalous with REE in soils suggesting an ionic absorption clay target. During the due diligence fieldwork, Origen staff visited the Campo de Cima licences, collecting soil and rock samples at key showings and other outcrops of what are understood to be the prospective strata. During three days at Campo de Cima, 13 stations were visited to conduct soil mapping and investigation of the anomalous areas previously identified by the vendor. Seven (7) soil samples were collected for confirmation of the vendor-identified anomalies and have now been submitted to SGS Geosol in Belo Horizonte. SGS Geosol is an analytical laboratory with experience in analysis of geological materials and holding ISO 9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 certification. All samples will be digested by lithium metaborate fusion and finished by ICP-OES/MS in addition to being analysed using an ammonium sulphate leach followed by ICP-OES finishing (Lab codes ICP95A, IMS95A, ICM694).

Origen Signs LOI to Acquire an Additional Rare Earth Project in BrazilApril 16, 2026 8:30 AM
NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2026) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (FSE: 4VXA) (the "Company" or "Origen") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire an additional prospective Rare Earth Elements (REE) project in Brazil. The mineral concession package totals over 33,000 hectares in Piauí State within the northeastern region of Brazil (the "Property"). Key HighlightsThe prospective 33,075 hectare claim package is located in Bahia and Piauí States and significantly enhances the Company's district scale footprint and diversification in this emerging area. Property wide shallow soil sampling completed by the Vendor identified an anomalous REE area approximately 4 km x 6 km and centered on a high value of 282 ppm TREO+Y.The primary target model is the Ion Absorption Clay-hosted REE deposit model.IACD-style deposits produce over 80% of all heavy (H)REE supplies worldwide (as estimated in 2024).Exclusive 150 day Due Diligence period."With this acquisition, Origen will be one of the largest claim holders in this emerging Rare Earth belt, controlling over 68,000 ha. Early-stage, impactful acquisitions have been key to our success in the past, and being among the first to identify the significance of this belt has allowed our team to acquire this district-scale land package. Due diligence work on this project will commence in the coming weeks to further define the prospectivity of this new claim package," states Gary Schellenberg, CEO and Director. Incorporadora e Mineração Santa Rosa Ltda. ("Santa Rosa" or the "Vendor") has identified a significant ionic clay-hosted rare earth element ("REE") target over an area of approximately four by six kilometres within this new 33,000 hectare land package in northeastern Brazil.Initial reconnaissance soil sampling, conducted on a wide sample separation of approximately 1.5 kilometres, has defined a spatially coherent anomalous zone, with seven (7) out of thirty-three (33) samples returning elevated values, including a peak of 282 ppm TREO+Y. The consistency of anomalous values across wide spacing strongly encourages follow-up infill and systematic exploration. Laboratory analysis was conducted by SGS Geosol, a recognized commercial laboratory with experience in geochemical analysis and holds ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 certification.The REE mineralization is interpreted to be hosted within lateritic profiles developed over the Rio Preto Group, a geological setting analogous to other emerging ionic clay-hosted REE deposits in Brazil, including Serra Verde (Goiás) and Caldeira (Minas Gerais). This style of REE mineralization is increasingly recognized for its potential for lower energy mining requirements, less chemically aggressive recovery, and strategic importance in the global supply of critical minerals.Origen has been granted an exclusive 150 day Due Diligence Period and may enter into a definitive agreement upon completion. Fieldwork for the Due Diligence Period will be assisted by the Vendor and a Brazilian consultant, with oversight by Coast Mountain Geological Ltd. of Vancouver, Canada.John Harrop, P Geo., a Qualified Person as that term is defined in NI 43-101, has supervised the preparation, or approved the scientific and technical disclosure in the news release. Mr. Harrop is employed by Coast Mountain Geological Ltd. He is not independent of the Company as defined in NI 43-101. He is independent of the SGS Geosol laboratory. Terms of the AcquisitionTo acquire a 70% interest following a positive due diligence outcome and entering into a definitive agreement, Origen will pay the Vendor $100,000 USD and issue 2,000,000 shares. Origen will make a further and final payment of $100,000 USD and issue 4,000,000 shares upon the second anniversary of the definitive agreement. Within two years of completion of the Due Diligence Period, Origen must also incur $1,500,000 of exploration expenditures. After this two year period, Origen and the Vendor will enter into a 70/30 Joint Venture. The Vendor will retain a 2% royalty of which 1% can be purchased at any time prior to commercial production for $1,500,000 USD. About OrigenOrigen is fully focused on this new Brazilian REE acquisition, its 100% interest in the Los Sapitos Lithium project in Argentina and its 100% owned gold-silver Wishbone project in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, along with a property portfolio of two 100% owned precious and base metal projects in southern British Columbia it is actively seeking partners for.

Origen Signs Definitive Agreement and Increases Rare Earth Element Land Position in Brazil to 35,000 HectaresApril 2, 2026 9:00 AM
NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 2, 2026) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (FSE: 4VXA) (the "Company" or "Origen") is pleased to announce that it has now signed a Definitive Agreement (the "Agreement") with Weberte Giovan de Almeida and Associates (the "Vendor") to acquire a 90% interest in 2 REE project areas in Piauí state Brazil. In addition, the Company has been granted a Right of First Refusal over 5 additional project areas within the state. All of the project areas covered under the Agreement were targeted to encompass newly documented REE occurrences reported by the Brazilian Geological Survey or Serviço Geológico do Brasil ("SGB") in Informe Técnico Número 27 in June 2025.Key Points:Definitive agreement signed with the Vendor.Increased land package by staking over 21,000 adjacent hectares.New package covers ground where known mineralization is predicted to extend.Due diligence sampling confirms Vendor and SGB results.Based on initial field observations by Origen during its due diligence and observing that the basin stratigraphy suggested that prospective beds could extend beyond the existing claims, the Company made application for an additional 21,650 hectares for rare earths within the district. All the applications have now been granted resulting in Origen controlling over 35,540 hectares of prospective ground within this emerging REE District."Based on our initial observations, this project has all the ingredients to turn into something significant and launch this region of Brazil into the REE spotlight. We are excited by the level of confidence and enthusiasm that the field due diligence program has generated, and we will be moving forward to exploit first mover advantage and solidify a basin-scale land position," states Gary Schellenberg, CEO.During the fieldwork phase, Origen staff visited both licenses covered by the Agreement, collecting soil and rock samples at key showings and other outcrops of what are understood to be the prospective strata. During three days on the two licenses, 23 rock samples and 16 soil samples were collected at 31 stations for confirmation of the SGB-identified anomalies and characterization of the prospective horizons in preparation for planning exploration. All soils and a selection of rocks were tested using a portable X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer prior to shipment to SGS Geosol, an analytical laboratory with experience in analysis of geological materials and holding ISO 9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 certification. All samples were digested by lithium metaborate fusion and finished by ICP-OES/MS. All soil samples and selected rocks were additionally analyzed using an ammonium sulphate leach followed by ICP-OES finishing (Lab codes ICP95A, IMS95A, ICM694). All samples were further tested with a radiometric spectrometer, which was also used to characterize outcrops in the field. Laboratory, field XRF, and field radiometric analysis confirmed previous results provided by the vendor and published by SGB. Due diligence fieldwork also confirmed that the mineralization is present in specific phosphate nodule bearing beds and in phosphatic sandstone beds. Consequently, acquisition of additional ground where these prospective beds are predicted to continue was warranted. The Company now feels they are well equipped to create an exploration plan for permitting and communication with local stakeholders.The Company has retained Coast Mountain Geological Ltd. ("Coast Mountain") to provide technical and project management services. Coast Mountain is a company holding 2.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company, and of which one of the directors of the Company owns 60% of the shares of Coast Mountain.John Harrop, P Geo., a Qualified Person as that term is defined in NI 43-101, has supervised the preparation, or approved the scientific and technical disclosure in the news release. Mr. Harrop is employed by Coast Mountain Geological Ltd where approximately 10% of his time is spent on Origen matters. He is not independent of the Company as defined in NI 43-101. Mr. Harrop also holds incentive stock options of Origen. The Company does not believe Mr. Harrop's independence is compromised by his role with Coast Mountain and the options of Origen held, and that Mr. Harrop is an independent QP of Origen for the purposes of this news release.The Company and Mr. Harrop are independent of SGS Geosol Laboratory.Terms of the AcquisitionTo acquire a 90% interest, Origen will pay the Vendors $50,000 USD and issue 2,000,000 shares. Additionally, within two years of the completion of its CSE filing requirements as it relates to the Agreement, Origen must incur $1,000,000 of exploration expenditures. After this two-year period, Origen will issue to the Vendor a number of shares of the Company equal to 15% of the outstanding shares and grant the Vendor a seat on the Board of Directors. The total number of shares that will make up 15% ownership will include the 2,000,000 shares issued at the outset (regardless of whether or not the Vendor is then a holder of such initial shares). After the 90% interest is earned, the parties will operate the projects via a newly formed corporate entity.The Vendor also grants Origen a right of first refusal on their five (5) other exploration concessions totalling approximately 9,903 hectares located in Piauí State that are analogous to the two (2) REE project areas announced in this news release.All shares issued to the Vendor will have a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.FinancingIn conjunction with the signing of the Agreement, the Company has arranged a $500,000 financing comprised of the non-brokered private placement of 10,000,000 units at $0.05 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share plus one-half share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable over the next 18 months at a price of $0.075 into a common share.The financing is subject to the Company's completion of its filing requirements with the CSE.

Origin is not on anyone's radar and that is how the small investor can make real money
Just a reminder to keep your eye on the prize
The North American Plastic Caps And Closures Market size was estimated at USD 14.61 billion in 2024,

An all PET bottle makes sense especially if Origin can deliver on price, extended shelf life of product and the big one;
AI answer
Yes, an all-PET bottle and cap system is generally considered better for recycling and sustainability because it simplifies the recycling process and allows for more efficient use of recycled PET materials

Did Blackrock invest in ORGN?

Origin isn’t touting this innovation as the first-ever PET cap, but rather an option that’s not commonly available in the market and could be transformational for the sector, Bissell said.

“It’s not as though we’re the first people ever to try to make a PET cap for bottles. ... It’s that they weren’t successful for a variety of reasons,” Bissell said. “That’s what we really solve — we’re processing the material differently so that we can get to a cap economically that fits to an 1881 standard bottle.”
.
Tethering caps to the bottle is one way to ensure they’re recovered, and the concept is included in EU single-use plastic legislation set to take effect next year. Tethering keeps the cap affixed to the bottle with the plastic tamper-evident band once a user breaks the band upon opening the bottle. Tetra Pak is among the companies preemptively introducing tethered caps, as is Berry Global via a partnership with Coca-Cola. Bissell said tethering will be an option for Origin’s PET cap customers.

Bissell said the plants for manufacturing Origin’s PET caps will be different from the company’s biomass-based PET component plants

Barron's Feb 17, 2024
It’s also a quandary for the consumer packaged-good industry. Under pressure from activist shareholders and governments, companies like Coca-Cola (ticker: KO), Mondelez International (MDLZ), and Nestlé (NSRGY) have promised to cut back on new plastic and use more recycled content. Yet progress reports show many companies using more plastic and falling short of sustainability targets—colliding with market forces that are making it tougher to cut back.

- partners "with no changes needed to their tooling or production processes."
"We successfully completed our third manufacturing development run on production-scale equipment, producing thousands of caps per hour. Our initial product passed third-party tests, validating that performance meets or exceeds industry standards, and we have conducted preliminary consumer testing. Our partners have conducted extensive diligence and demonstrated strong organizational alignment across procurement, R&D, marketing, and sustainability to move forward with Origin's solution.
And we are now at the letter-of-intent phase with multiple leading CPG companies that collectively consume tens of billions of caps per year. "
.
Origin saw $13 million in revenues from partners in the 4th quarter. Partners are more than just interested.

"independent of the scale-up of our biomass conversion technology "
from Q4 CC;
...we now have a path to profitability entirely independent of the scale-up of our biomass conversion technology and related manufacturing plant construction. These initiatives are led by our all-PET caps and closures business, a highly differentiated solution for the over $65 billion caps and closures market.
.
If profitable numbers are possible as soon as '25 there must be someone running trials now and are ready for licensing? Independent of scale-up is a huge statement. The partners looking to get into PET caps will be using in house materials.

Gets better;
Other near-term revenue-generating technologies are in development. Like our all-PET caps and closures, these new applications enabled by Origin technologies are NOT DEPENDENT ON ORIGIN 1 OR ORIGIN 2 FOR PRODUCTION AND sale but capable of using materials produced from these plants. These applications leverage Origin’s chemical expertise, depth of application knowledge, and intellectual property, with further details to be provided as development progresses

Profitability in 2025 if Cap market is a success. Shorter timeline for an answer;
Selling well below cash with a big catalyst possible in next few months, plan will be converting to wood residue.
.
Waiting on news the company is getting results from wood chips. Management says in the next few months. That path to profitability being based on plastic caps and enclosures looks legit as sales in the sector are over $60+ billion worldwide yearly and growing. Major providers for the market are looking for greener answers to their petroleum based closures.

$11.82 billion in US sales in 2024

Major companies in the sector are looking for low carbon answers.

This was always a lottery ticket that would pay off big or head to zero if end product from test scale site didn't produce a viable product.
No new partners being announced at this stage is telling. GLTA
.
The next CC is the absolute last hope and management's doesn't seem to have anything to pump.

ORGN new 52 week low

No update on commercial scale test runs is not good. Management needs to come out of hiding.

Maersk completed the first bio-methanol voyage this year. To get enough green methanol it was collected at landfills.
August 17, 2023
By Bernardo Burga, Renewable Fuels, BloombergNEF
Capacity needs to rev up – and fast
Though there is great optimism for green methanol within the shipping industry, there are still significant hurdles across the value chain for widespread methanol adoption. BNEF’s database of upcoming green methanol projects forecasts an annual capacity of 5.5 million metric tons by 2027 – roughly 11 times the capacity today.

This is an enormous increase, but it’s just a fraction of what is needed.

The 'radical pivot" Wall Street says revealed suddenly in last Q. Versus Science review from 2021
Origin’s technology begins with the controlled acid degradation of biomass into CMF. The control and optimization of this reaction is Origin’s primary value addition and core innovation. The reaction producing CMF also produces a carbonaceous byproduct, hydrothermal carbon (HTC), in quantities on the order of twice that of CMF (depending on feedstock), as well as several other byproducts. As a result, monetizing HTC is important to Origin’s economics. Origin plans to use HTC as a fuel and target renewable energy markets in the near-term but plans to develop higher value end-uses in the future.

Origin 1 - first commercial-scale biobased chloromethyl furfural (CMF) plant at Sarnia, Ontario. Biomass-derived 5-(chloromethyl)furfural (CMF) recently has garnered increasing attention over 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) as a significant platform molecule for a wide spectrum of value-added chemical compounds. This is due to CMF being able to be produced in higher yields under mild conditions directly from raw biomass compared to HMF. In this study

The byproduct? The plant will also produce hydrothermal carbon (HTC), with uses in sustainable carbon black for automotive tires.

Waiting for PR results in near term as partners get product to use as a "drop in" product that can be used with current machinery. The Husky results was an early example of what can be expected.

May 10, 2022 - Proman and Maersk agreement aims to supply 100,000 to 150,000 tons of green methanol yearly. The project will be built by Proman with target start of operations in 2025, producing bio-methanol from non-recyclable forestry residues and municipal solid waste.
