Origen Increases REE Land Position and Provides an Exploration Update

Origen Resources methodically consolidates a district-scale Brazilian REE land package, but pending assay results and a tightening cash position keep the stock range-bound.

Executive Summary
  • Origen Resources has applied to acquire an additional 7,865 hectares of Rare Earth Elements (REE) rights in Piaui, Brazil, expanding its total prospective land package to 76,479 hectares across Bahia and Piaui states.
  • The company signed a contract with Aero Cientifica for a 2,695-line km fixed-wing airborne radiometric survey over its northernmost claims, with permitting currently underway.
  • Field due diligence on the Campo de Cima project was completed, identifying 13 stations for soil mapping. Seven soil samples were submitted to SGS Geosol to confirm vendor-identified ionic absorption clay targets; analytical results are pending.
  • Community and state government engagement meetings are actively being held, and a local representative has been hired to facilitate communication.
Material Impact
  • This is an exploration update and land acquisition announcement, not an earnings release. The strategic implication is the continued consolidation of a basin-scale REE land package in an emerging Brazilian belt.
  • The pending SGS Geosol soil assays are the primary near-term catalyst. Positive results would validate the ionic absorption clay model and justify the upcoming airborne survey and subsequent drilling.
  • Financially, the announcement requires continued capital deployment to fund the airborne survey, permitting, and the $1.5M exploration commitment tied to the April 2026 acquisition. No new financing is disclosed in this release.
