Exploration Asset Portfolio Update

Spring Peak gold project, Nevada, USA - Headwater Gold Inc (CSE: HWG) ("Headwater") recently announced a 7,000 metre drill program in partnership with Newmont Corporation. The 20 to 25 hole program will focus on extensions of the Disco Zone, a low-sulphidation epithermal gold discovery made in 2022. District-scale exploration, including gravity and Controlled-source Audio-frequency-Magnetotellurics (CSAMT) geophysics, airborne magnetics and radiometrics, and soil sampling utilizing Newmont's Deep Sensing Geochemistry methodology are also planned1. Orogen retains the rights to a cash payment and up to a 1% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty interest on the Spring Peak project.

MPD South (formerly Axe) copper-gold porphyry, British Columbia, Canada - Kodiak Copper Corp. (TSX.V KDK) ("Kodiak") announced a 10,000 metre drilling program on the MPD (North and South) project designed to test six exploration targets. Four of the targets, including the 1516, South, Adit and Celeste2,3 areas are within the MPD South where Orogen holds a royalty area of interest. Orogen holds an equity interest in Kodiak and a 2% NSR royalty subject to a 0.5% buydown on the MPD South claims.

Ghost Ranch gold project, Nevada, USA - Ivy Minerals Inc. (Private) recently completed a five-hole 2,130 metre diamond drill program. The program targeted an anticlinal axis interpreted from a 2023 Audio-frequency Magnetotelluric ("AMT") geophysical survey. All drill holes intersected oxidized carbonate bearing rocks with variable decalcification and silicification. Assay results are pending. Orogen holds the right to a 1% NSR royalty on the Ghost Ranch project.

Maggie Creek gold project, Nevada, USA - Nevada Gold Mines ("NGM") is following-up on the three-hole 1,282 metre drill program completed in 2023 with exploration across various areas of the project, including a core tail to test the deeper prospective Lower-Plate beneath the 2023 holes. The core tail, which was started in early July, intersected Lower Plate rocks of the Rodeo Creek formation at 442 metres. The drilling is ongoing and planned to approximately 1100 metres. Orogen holds the right to cash payments and a 2% NSR royalty on the Maggie Creek property.

HWY 37 (Ball Creek East and Hank claims) copper-gold porphyry project, British Columbia, Cananda - Kingfisher Metals Inc. (TSX.V. KFR) ("Kingfisher") is planning a Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic ("ZTEM") airborne geophysical survey, mapping and Induced Polarization ("IP") surveys on the HWY 37 and Hank properties4,5. Orogen holds an equity position in Kingfisher, rights to share payments, and to acquire a 1% NSR royalty for C$1 million on the Ball Creek East claims.

Cuprite gold project, Nevada, USA - Strikepoint Gold Inc (TSX.V: SKP) ("Strikepoint") released results from a 3,100 metre reverse-circulation drill program on the Cuprite epithermal property7. The encouraging results confirmed gold bearing mineralization below the mercury bearing residual silica cap at surface. Alteration mineralogy will be used to vector into targets for a future phase of drilling. Cuprite was generated from the exploration alliance between Orogen and Altius Minerals Corporation ("Altius") using similar analyses and techniques that identified the Expanded Silicon gold deposit. Orogen and Altius each hold an equity interest in Strikepoint and a 1.5% NSR royalty interest on the Cuprite project subject to a 0.25% buydown.

Si2 gold project, Nevada, USA - K2 Gold Corporation (TSX.V: KTO) ("K2") is conducting hyperspectral analysis on drill core from their 2023 exploration program that identified weakly anomalous gold beneath the mercury rich steam cap. The results will be used to vector into future drill targets8. Orogen holds the right to cash payments and a 2% NSR royalty on the Si2 project.

Rosterman gold project, Kenya - Shanta Gold Limited (Private) ("Shanta") is planning up to two drill holes on the Rosterman orogenic gold exploration target in Kakamega county, western Kenya. Rosterman lies north of the Isulu and Bushiangala deposits9 which contain a combined global gold resource of 1.285 million ounces grading 10.6 g/t gold including indicated resources of 722,000 ounces grading 11.45 g/t10.
