Orogen Royalties Creates a Royalty on the Camelot Copper-Gold Project

September 02, 2025 at 07:30 AM EDT

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / September 2, 2025 / (TSXV:OGN)(OTC:OGNNF) Orogen Royalties Inc. ("Orogen" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a purchase and sale agreement (the "Agreement") with Prospect Ridge Resources Corp. (CSE:PRR) ("Prospect Ridge") whereby Prospect Ridge has acquired the Camelot (formerly Lemon Lake) copper-gold porphyry project, located in British Columbia, Canada.

To acquire a 100% interest in the Camelot project, Prospect Ridge will pay Orogen C$200,000 in cash or common shares of Prospect Ridge over a six-month period. Orogen will retain a 1% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty with the right to acquire an additional 0.25% NSR royalty from an underlying vendor.

Paddy Nicol, CEO of Orogen commented, "The Camelot project contains a fully permitted drill target outlined by the coincidence of anomalous copper in soils, a magnetic high, and a strong chargeability anomaly with an inferred area of potassically altered monzonite. Prospect Ridge is a well funded and managed exploration company with plans to drill this exciting target in 2025. Orogen maintains its upside exposure to the property through its retained royalty and we are excited to see drill results in the coming months."

Orogen and Prospect Ridge acknowledge that the Camelot project is situated within the traditional territory of the Williams Lake Indian Band, Xatsull First Nation, and the Neskonlith Indian Band. Both companies are committed to developing positive and mutually beneficial relationships with First Nations based on trust and respect and a foundation of open and honest communications.

About the Camelot Copper-Gold Project
The 2,600 hectares Camelot project is located in the prolific Quesnel Belt in British Columbia, known to host both calc-alkaline copper and alkaline copper-gold porphyry systems including Imperial Metal's Mount Polley and New Gold's New Afton mines, and Vizsla Copper's Woodjam deposit cluster.

Figure 1: Location of the Camelot Property

The Camelot property contains the fifteen square kilometre Late Triassic to Early Jurassic composite Lemon Lake pluton with early phases of gabbro and diorite cut by at least two phases of monzonite porphyry, local monzonite breccias and, late monzonite-syenite dykes.

Limited historical exploration work has outlined a multi-kilometre copper in soil anomaly coincident with a 1,700 metre long chargeability (>17mv/V) anomaly developed in an undrilled overburden covered area (Figure 2 Top). The strongest regions of chargeability (>25mV/V) coincide with discrete magnetic highs (Figure 2 bottom).

Drilling in 1974 focused on sparse outcrop exposures of altered monzonite and intersected 21.3 metres of 0.25% copper with no gold assays. Additional drilling in 2022 intersected copper and gold enriched potassically altered Monzonite dykes returning up to 0.67 metres grading 0.61 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 1.45% copper. Both generations of holes are drilled into the peripheries of the chargeability anomaly the core of which remains undrilled.

The mineralization observed in historical drilling consists of chalcopyrite and pyrite associated with moderate K-Feldspar and biotite alteration developed in the monzonitic phase of the intrusive. Quartz veining is absent consistent with a quartz undersaturated alkalic porphyry system analogous to Mount Polley.

The core of the coincident geophysical and geochemical target remains undrilled but is permitted through 2025.

Acquisition Terms
Under the terms of the Agreement, Prospect Ridge can acquire a 100% interest in the Camelot property for a total consideration of $200,000, with $25,000 in common shares of Prospector based on a 10-day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") to be paid within five days of regulatory approval (the "Approval Date"), and $175,000 to be paid in cash or common shares of Prospector (subject to a 10-day VWAP) at the sole discretion of Prospector within six months and two days of the Approval Date. Orogen will retain a 1% NSR royalty on the project.

Orogen will also retain the right to acquire an additional 0.25% NSR royalty subject to an underlying agreement for $500,000.

The Agreement is subject to regulatory approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
