About Gold Orogen (1475039 B.C. Ltd.)

Gold Orogen is an early-stage exploration pure play with quality assets in the Yukon and New Brunswick, Canada. Optionality exists as assets are diversified on two mineral belts that are known to have prolific gold endowment.

The New Brunswick assets, McIntyre Brook and Riley Brook, sit on a highly prospective belt that has seen many exciting discoveries, including Dalradian, New Found Gold and Calibre Mining. Kinross-Puma surrounds McIntyre Brook. A 19.9-per-cent strategic partner was brought in, and a joint venture was formed to create one of the largest land packages in New Brunswick with mineral rights spanning 445 square kilometres.

In the Yukon, Golden Culvert/Win sits on the southern end of the Tombstone belt, which in recent years has seen extensive exploration success. It has reduced intrusion (reduced intrusion-related gold system) targets and sedimentary-hosted orogenic mineralization. Over 4,500 metres have been drilled with 50-gram=per-metre intercepts.

We seek Safe Harbor.
