Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - December 7, 2021 - NewOrigin Gold Corp. (TSXV:NEWO) (OTC:TROIF) has received a drill permit for its Sky Lake gold property on November 30, 2021. Sky Lake is NewOrigins’s flagship gold property. The drill permit is effective for a three year term and covers the historic Koval gold zone where NewOrigin has an earn-in with Barrick in addition to west and east extensions on strike of Koval owned 100% by NewOrigin.  Permit delays due to Covid 19 are being resolved as Northern Ontario communities emerge from the pandemic. NewOrigin remains actively engaged with local First Nation communities to establish an “Early Exploration Agreement” at Sky Lake in order to responsibly move forward with a drill program. The Company is currently drilling at its North Abitibi gold project and will await assay results before proceeding with a decision to resume exploration at Sky Lake.

“With drill permitting in place at Sky Lake, NewOrigin is contemplating a summer 2022 drill program designed to test the historic Koval zone, and for extensions along strike to the east and west. With the lifting of Covid 19 restrictions, NewOrigin is now able to engage in more meaningful discussions with local First Nation communities at Sky Lake, in order to plan this proposed program.” commented David Farquharson, President of NewOrigin.
