Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 30, 2026) - Origen Resources Inc. (CSE: ORGN) (FSE: 4VXA) (the "Company" or "Origen") announces today that it has elected to voluntarily participate in the Semi-Annual Financial Reporting Pilot (the "SAR Pilot") program. The SAR Pilot was introduced by the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "CSA") under Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers.

By participating in the SAR Pilot, the Company is exempt from the requirement to file interim financial reports and associated Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the first and third financial quarters of its financial year. The Company, which has a March 31 financial year end, will continue to file its audited annual financial statements and its semi-annual interim financial reports (for the second financial quarter), along with the related MD&A and officer certifications, within the timelines required by applicable securities laws.

The Company's board of directors approved the transition to semi-annual reporting to significantly reduce the administrative and compliance burdens associated with quarterly reporting. This shift allows management to optimize resource allocation, redirecting executive time and corporate capital directly toward enhancing the Company's core business operations and strategic growth initiatives. The Company confirms it meets all the eligibility criteria to participate in the SAR Pilot, including having annual revenues of $10 million or less in its most recent audited financial statements.

The Company intends to skip the filing of its interim financial report and MD&A for the first financial quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Company's next scheduled financial filing will be its semi-annual financial statements for the six-month period ending September 30, 2026. This news release is being filed pursuant to Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers.

About OrigenOrigen is fully focused on this new Brazilian REE acquisition, while holding a 100% interest in the Los Sapitos Lithium project in Argentina, the Wishbone project in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, and three other 100% owned precious and critical metal projects in southern British Columbia.

On behalf of Origen,

Gary SchellenbergCEO and Director
