Triangle of British Columbia. The Company has listed its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol ORGN.
On April 28, 2020, the Company and Raffles Financial Group Limited (formerly Explorex Resources Inc.) closed their Plan of Arrangement. Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Raffles has spun out certain assets and liabilities to the Company, along with the transfer of $500,000 in cash, for consideration of 13,621,958 common shares and 935,325 share purchase warrants of the Company to Raffles’ shareholders.
The share purchase warrants were issued pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, whereby holders of outstanding Raffles warrants received, in exchange for each warrant, one Raffles replacement warrant and 0.5 warrant of the Company, both with exercise prices based on the proportionate market value of two companies after the completion of Plan of Arrangement. The fair value of the share purchase warrants was determined to be $Nil. All share purchase warrants issued pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement expired during the period.
The fair value of the net assets transferred to the Company, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement consisted of the following assets and liabilities:
| Assets: | $ |
|---|---|
| Cash | 506,899 |
| Receivables | 6,287 |
| Prepaid expenses | 2,375 |
| Exploration and evaluation assets | 2,197,415 |
| Total assets | 2,712,976 |
| Liabilities: | |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (181,976) |
| Flow-through obligation | (31,000) |
| Fair value of net assets contributed | 2,500,000 |
The Company assumed a flow-through obligation of $31,000 as Raffles had not completely fulfilled its commitment to incur exploration expenditures by December 31, 2018 in relation to flow-through share financings in October 2017. The Company may be required to indemnify flow-through individual investors for the amount of increased taxes payable by the flow-through investor as a consequence of the failure of Raffles to incur qualifying exploration expenditures previously renounced to the flow-through investors.
The Plan of Arrangement resulted in an increase of share capital amounting to $2,500,000.

Overall Performance
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional equity financing and achieve future profitable operations. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $2,762,017 (March 31, 2020 – deficiency of $129,806), had not yet achieved profitable operations and has retained earnings of $828,813 since its inception which is due to revaluation of the Company’s investment. The Company expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. All of these circumstances comprise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for the Company’s financial statements, it could be necessary to restate the Company’s assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds.
Corporate Update
On April 28, 2020, the Plan of Arrangement closed and as a result, the Company appointed to the Board Gary Schellenberg, Mike Sieb, William Wishart, James Mustard and Jerry Bella.
On May 6, 2020, the Company announced that Jerry Bella resigned from the Board of Directors, effective immediately. Origen wishes to thank Mr. Bella for his efforts and wishes him well in his future endeavors. As well, the Company appointed Geoff Schellenberg as a director. Mr. Geoff Schellenberg has over 10 years of experience in the mineral exploration industry.

Mr. Schellenberg holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of British Columbia.
On May 14, 2020, Origen appointed Blake Morgan to the roles of President and Director effective immediately. Mr. Morgan has 15 years’ experience in the mining industry including 10 years dedicated to the mining and natural resource sector in Australia with Rio Tinto, BMA Metals (subsidiary of BHP) and Santos Ltd. Gaining first-hand knowledge, culture, and an understanding of mining operations he then made the move from Australia to Canada and has been instrumental in consolidating significant exploration land packages and financing their development for private resource exploration companies in British Columbia.
On June 1, 2020, the Company appointed Michael Collins as a director. Mr. Collins has an exceptional skill set in project development and analysis which is supported by a wide industry network. Through his work as a geologist and running a mining engineering office in Vancouver, he has developed an understanding of numerous mineral camps and deposit types around the world.

Below is a description of the material mineral projects and the underlying agreements:
Kagoot Brook Cobalt Project, New Brunswick
On April 28, 2020, the Company acquired the Kagoot Brook Cobalt Project (“Kagoot Brook”) as part of the Plan of Arrangement.
On May 11, 2020, the Company entered into a Sale, Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Assumption Agreement”) with West Mining Corp. (formerly Ironwood Capital Corp.) (“West”) with respect to the purchase and assumption by West of all of the Company’s rights, title and interest in, to and under its interest in an option and joint venture agreement relating to Kagoot Brook dated May 10, 2018, and as amended on January 7, 2020, with Great Atlantic Resources Corp. (“Great Atlantic”) (the “Underlying Agreement”). For consideration, West issued an aggregate of 500,000 common shares, valued at $90,000, to the Company. As a result, the Company recognized a write off of $10,000 in exploration and evaluation assets during the period ended December 31, 2020.
Pursuant to the Underlying Agreement, the Company had the right to earn a 75% interest in the Kagoot Brook located near Bathurst, New Brunswick (the “Option”).
To successfully exercise the Option, the Company was required to:
-
Incur a total of $650,000 of exploration expenditures by May 10, 2022; and
-
Make aggregate cash payments of $125,000 to Great Atlantic as follows: $15,000 by January 23, 2019 (paid by Raffles); $30,000 by May 23, 2020 (paid); $30,000 by January 23, 2021 (paid by West subsequent to period end); and $50,000 by January 23, 2022.
Upon earning 75% interest in Kagoot Brook by the Company, the parties would enter into a joint venture. If a joint venture party did not contribute its proportionate share of expenditures on Kagoot Brook, the noncontributing party’s joint venture interest would be reduced proportionately. If Great Atlantic’s joint venture interest was reduced to 5% or less, Great Atlantic would be deemed to have withdrawn from the joint venture and its remaining interest in Kagoot Brook would convert into a 3% NSR royalty, with the Company having the right to repurchase up to 2% of such royalty for $1,000,000 per each 1% of NSR royalty. Should Great Atlantic seek to sell any portion of the remaining NSR royalty, the Company would retain a first right of refusal.

target consists of a 300 m x 300 m gold-in-soil anomaly discovered by Noranda in 1991 and has only experienced minimal field exploration to date.
On August 5, 2020, the Company announced the commencement of fieldwork at three gold-copper target areas (Red Zone, Grizzly, and Lucifer) on its wholly owned LGM property, comprising 26,771 hectares (ha.) in the highly prospective Golden Triangle of Northwest British Columbia.
Key Highlights
-
The newly identified and highly gossanous Red Zone, on strike from Evergold Corp.’s Snoball property, is undergoing the first ever systematic exploration.
-
The Grizzly prospect will be explored upslope from the historical Au-Cu soil anomaly as data analysis points to an upslope source.
-
The Origen team will investigate an overlooked quartz-sericite-pyrite altered zone 1 km NE of the Lucifer Au-Cu mineral showing with multiple samples > 100 ppb Au in soil and rock.
-
Some of the mineralization discovered to date on the Property appears to be associated with the same intrusive rocks thought to be responsible for the Snip (Au), KSM (Au-Cu-Ag), Bronson Slope (Au-Cu), Brucejack (Au-Ag) and other important mineral occurrences.
-
Assay results will be expedited to allow for follow up work and possibly drilling during this exploration season.
The Wishbone project, located 12km to the west of LGM, hosts numerous high-grade precious metal showings and has only seen sporadic exploration work since the 1980’s.
On July 22, 2020, the Company provided highlights from the historical trenching and drill programs conducted at the Company’s Wishbone property prominently situated within British Columbia’s Golden Triangle with exploration field crews at site assessing the numerous high grade gold occurrences reported from the historical work conducted at the Windy Gold Zone.
Key Highlights
-
Seven gold mineralized quartz-sulphide veins were uncovered by Teck in 1986 within a small 400 x 500 metre area;
-
Main Vein was traced for 500 metres in length and is apparently getting wider to the east where depth of overburden precluded exposure by hand trenching; 7.8 g/t Au over 3.3m, including 19.1 g/t Au over 1.6m, chip samples at the eastern end of the Main Vein;
-
All the known veins remain open along trend;
-
Nine drill holes tested the central area of the exposed veins with all the holes reporting notable intersections of gold mineralization; and
-
A region of highly anomalous gold in soils remains unexplored 200m to the south of the Main Vein.
On October 6, 2020 the Company announced the confirmation of multiple high grade gold and silver veins from the initial reconnaissance conducted at the Windy prospect on the Wishbone Property (see the Company’s news release dated July 22 and August 19, 2020) and support for the high prospectivity of the Windy target area as originally believed.

Key Highlights
-
The recent exploration program was successful in verifying historical results and confirmed the location of historical drilling and trenching at Windy while identifying additional mineralization and exploration targets.
-
Higher than expected silver grades were encountered with one 60cm chip sample grading 1173 g/t Ag from the Camp vein;
-
Two new gold bearing quartz veins discovered with one grading 16.3 g/t Au over a 0.2m chip;
-
1000m x 500m area exhibits broad gold-silver mineralization open in all directions;
-
A significant percentage of samples collected in 2020 returned notable gold grades;
-
A region of highly anomalous gold in soils remains unexplored 100 to 400m to the south of the historical veins where cover potentially conceals undiscovered veins.
-
Compelling mineralization and structural setting at Windy warrant comprehensive geophysical program to assist in defining drill targets; and
-
The company has geologists on the ground conducting a follow up program and has commissioned a contract geophysicist to advise on the type and scope of a geophysical survey to be conducted.

Gold's (TSXV-NFG) extensive land package containing their exciting Keats Zone gold discovery on the Queensway Project lies approximately 50 km to the north of the property.
Between 1970-1971 Noranda Exploration carried out an airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey followed up by some ground geophysics and drilling on a portion of the property. The exploration program was targeting Cu-Zn-Pb Volcanic hosted massive sulphides. Two diamond drill holes were drilled on the property one of which contained a number of sulphide rich quartz veins that were never assayed. "We are very pleased to have acquired such a promising land package in the highly prospective Gold Camp in Newfoundland.
The Company announced the commencement of an 885 line kilometre airborne magnetic and VTEM survey on its 7,875 hectare Middle Ridge Gold Project in Newfoundland. In the Exploits Subzone gold belt, high resolution magnetics and EM surveys have been demonstrated to highlight geologic structures that are critical in exploration for structurally hosted orogenic gold. Origen has contracted Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario to conduct the survey. Lines will be flown at 100 metre spacing to provide high resolution magnetic and electromagnetic (EM) data, which are imperative for identifying the deep-seated structures that host orogenic gold.

Mineral exploration is typically a seasonal business, and accordingly, the Company’s operating expenses, and cash requirements will fluctuate depending upon the season and the level of activity. The Company’s primary source of funding is through the issuance of share capital. When the capital markets are depressed, the Company’s activity level normally declines accordingly. As capital markets strengthen, and the Company is able to secure equity financing with favorable terms, the Company’s activity levels, and the size and scope of planned exploration projects will typically increase.
Related Party Transactions
Key management personnel are the persons responsible for the planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company and include both executive and non-executive directors, and entities controlled by such persons.

The Company does not have any commitments for material capital expenditures, and none are presently contemplated other than normal operating requirements. The Company is dependent on the sale of common shares to finance its exploration activities, property acquisition payments and general and administrative costs. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will always be available to the Company in the amount required at any particular time, for any particular period, or if available, that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company.
The Company does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund its exploration activities, its acquisitions and its administration costs. The Company is reliant on equity financing to provide the necessary cash to continue its operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The details of the Company’s accounting policies are presented in Note 3 of the condensed interim financial statements ended December 31, 2020.
Capital Management
Capital is comprised of items within the Company’s shareholders’ equity. As at December 31, 2020, the Company’s shareholders’ equity was $6,221,590. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial strength and to protect its ability to meet its on-going liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, current financial strength rating requirements and internally determined capital guidelines and calculated risk management levels.
The Company is dependent on the capital markets as its sole source of operating capital and the Company’s capital resources are largely determined by the strength of the junior resource markets and by the status of the Company’s projects in relation to these markets, and its ability to compete for investor support for its projects. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Management Financial Risks
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of cash and investments are based on Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the Company’s receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying values due to their short-term nature.
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and receivables. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions.
The majority of the Company’s cash is held with major Canadian based financial institutions. Receivables are due primarily from government agency.
Liquidity risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $149,381 to settle current liabilities of $78,148.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.
(a)
- Interest rate risk
The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The interest rate risk on cash is not considered significant.
– Management Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2020
22
==> picture [101 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
(b) Foreign currency risk
The Company does not have assets or liabilities in a foreign currency.
(c) Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors the commodity prices of precious metals, individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
The Company's investment of $2,676,297 is subject to fair value fluctuations. As at December 31, 2020, if the fair value of the Company's investment had decreased/increased by 10% with all other variables held constant, income and comprehensive income for the period ended December 31, 2020 would have been approximately $267,629 higher/lower.
Risk and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations and results are subject to a number of different risks at any given time. These factors include, but are not limited to, disclosure regarding exploration, additional financing, project delay, titles to properties, price fluctuations and share price volatility, operating hazards, insurable risk and limitations of insurance, management, foreign country and regulatory requirements, currency fluctuations and environmental regulation risk.
a) the state of the capital markets, which will affect the ability of the Company’s to finance mineral property acquisitions and expand its contemplated exploration programs;
b) the prevailing market prices for base metals and precious metals;
c) the consolidation and potential abandonment of the Company’s property as exploration results provide further information relating to the underlying value of the property; and
d) the ability of the Company to identify and successfully acquire additional mineral properties in which the Company may acquire an interest whether by option, joint venture or otherwise, in addition to or as an alternative to the property.

Other Risk Factors
Additional Financing
The Company has limited financial resources and provides no assurance that it will obtain additional funding for future acquisitions and development of projects or to fulfill its obligations under applicable agreements. The Company provides no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the Company’s properties with the possible dilution or loss of such interests. Further, revenues, financings and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including the success, if any, of exploration programs and general market conditions for natural resources. The Company provides no assurance that it can operate profitably or that it will successfully implement its plans for its further exploration and development of its properties.
Permits and Licenses
The Company will require licenses and permits from various governmental and non-governmental authorities for its operations. The Company has obtained, or plans to obtain, all necessary licenses and permits required to carry on the activities it is currently conducting or which it proposes to conduct under applicable laws and regulations. However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in regulations and in various operating circumstances. The Company provides no assurance that it will obtain all necessary licenses and permits required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations.
Political Regulatory Risks
Any changes in government policy may result in changes to laws affecting ownership of assets, mining policies, monetary policies, taxation, rates of exchange, environmental regulations, and labour relations, repatriation of income and return of capital. This may affect both the Company’s ability to undertake exploration and development activities in respect of the properties in the manner currently contemplated, as well as its ability to continue to explore, develop and operate the properties. The possibility that future governments may adopt substantially different policies, which might extend to expropriation of assets, cannot be ruled out.
Currency Risk
Currency fluctuations may affect the cash flow which the Company may realize from its operations, since most mineral commodities are sold in a world market in United States dollars. The Company’s costs are incurred primarily in Canadian dollars.
Dependence on Key Individuals
The Company is dependent on a relatively small number of key personnel, the loss of any one of whom could have an adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the Company will be highly dependent upon contractors and third parties in the performance of its exploration and development activities. The Company provides no guarantee that such contractors and third parties will be available to carry out such activities on behalf of the Company or be available upon commercially acceptable terms.

Competitive Factors in the Precious and Base Metals Markets
Most mineral resources including precious and base metals are essentially commodities markets in which one would expect to be a small producer with an insignificant impact upon world production. As a result, production, if any, would be readily sold and would likely have no impact on world market prices. The significant downturn in the world economies in recent months has driven the commodities prices much lower which has made raising capital more difficult than past years.

Forward-Looking Information
This MD&A, which contains certain forward-looking statements, are intended to provide readers with a reasonable basis for assessing the financial performance of the Company. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “contemplate”, “target”, “plan”, “intends”, “continue”, “budget”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “schedule” and similar expressions identify forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies.
Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in the currency markets such as Canadian dollar, fluctuations in the prices of commodities, changes in government legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, or other countries in which the Company carries or may carry on business in the future, risks associated with mining or development activities, the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risk of obtaining necessary licenses and permits, and quantities or grades of reserves. Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect the Company’s actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those acknowledged in such statements. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable laws.
