Vancouver, B.C. June 26, 2024 (TSX.V:OGN) (OTCQX:OGNRF) Orogen Royalties Inc. ("Orogen" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the acquisition of the TCS volcanic-hosted-massive-sulphide (VHMS) project thirteen kilometres east of Dease Lake, British Columbia.

TCS Project Highlights

• TCS is an undrilled copper-zinc target located 80 kilometres west of the Kutcho Copper project (Measured and Indicated resources of 22.8 Mt grading 1.52% copper, 2.18% zinc and 0.39 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold, and 12.8 Mt of Inferred resources grading 1.10% copper, 1.58% zinc, and 0.25 g/t gold)¹
• Recently identified geophysical anomalies coincident with anomalous surface geochemistry at TCS have defined three high priority targets 
• Located within an area of excellent regional infrastructure including access roads, power and paved highways providing access to port facilities
• Northern British Columbia is a top tier mining jurisdiction including the Red Chris copper-gold mine and Brucejack gold mine (both operated by Newmont Corporation)
• TCS was developed under Orogen's generative and project identification program in 2023 and is available for option or sale

Orogen acknowledges that the TCS project is situated in the traditional territory of the Tahltan Nation and is committed to developing a positive and mutually beneficial relationship based on respect and transparency.

About the TCS Project

The TCS project consists of 1,850 hectares of gentle terrain in northwestern British Columbia approximately thirteen kilometres from Dease Lake.  The project is hosted within the King Salmon allochthon, a 10-20 kilometre wide thrust and fault bounded block that contains the Kutcho VHMS deposit (Measured and Indicated resources of 22.8 Mt grading 1.52% copper, 2.18% zinc and 0.39 g/t gold, and 12.8 Mt of Inferred resources grading 1.10% copper, 1.58% zinc, and 0.25 g/t gold)¹.

Exploration on the TCS project includes geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysics that identified a window of outcropping bimodal metavolcanics coincident with anomalous copper and zinc in soils and associated float samples containing up to 3.2% copper and 3.5% zinc.

A 223 line-kilometre VTEM geophysical survey completed in 2023, identified several high priority conductors related to the anomalous surface geochemistry extending under a region of surficial cover and reworked sediments (Figure 2). These priority conductors are interpreted to be at the top of the folded bimodal volcanic section similar to the setting at the Kutcho project (Figure 2).

The conductors could be rapidly advanced to drill-ready massive sulphide targets with the potential to host high grade copper, zinc and potentially gold.

TCS is available for option or sale.

Acquisition terms

The Company has acquired a 100% interest in the TCS project from a syndicate of prospectors (the "Syndicate") by paying the Syndicate $25,000 cash and making exploration expenditures of $125,000.  

After the third anniversary of the acquisition of the TCS project, the Company will pay the Syndicate $20,000 per annum, until the completion of 15,000 metres of drilling.  If at any time the Company enters into a future agreement to option or sell the TCS project to which any payment (a "Future Payment") is received, the Syndicate will be entitled to receive 20% of the Future Payment.   In the event a Future Payment involves a royalty interest on the TCS project, the Company will be able to purchase half of the Syndicate's royalty for $200,000 for each 0.1%.
