Aurora, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 9, 2015) - Tri Origin Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: TOE) ("Tri Origin" or "The Company") is pleased to announce that a field program at its Sky Lake gold property located 30 kilometres southwest of Pickle Lake, Ontario has been completed and that obligations of an earn-in option held by the Company over a small claim group comprising a portion of the property have been met and an 80% interest in these claims has been vested with Tri Origin. The program was successful in delineation of new drill targets along strike from an area of known gold occurrences. These targets have been confirmed through geological, geophysical and geochemical surveying and drill testing is warranted.

Field work consisted of Induced Polarization ("IP") geophysical surveying conducted along 6 kilometres of newly cut grid, geological mapping and overburden geochemical sampling at areas interpreted to be underlain by altered and mineralized rock. This work was conducted at the central portion of Tri Origin's 23 kilometre long property within claims held under option from Kitrinor Metals Inc ("Kitrinor"). Tri Origin has now met all requirements of the Kitrinor option and has acquired an 80% interest in the Kitrinor claims.

The program was designed to explore for and identify new, orebody-scale targets in the vicinity of historic gold occurrences delineated during the 1950's which occur on adjacent patent claims. IP surveying was conducted approximately 1.5 kilometres to the south and east of these gold occurrences and detected previously unrecognized anomalies in sand and muskeg covered areas. Geological mapping uncovered altered rocks in a prospective geological environment nearby the IP anomalies and results from geochemical analyses of mineral soil and humus samples collected over the IP survey area are being compiled to prioritize anomalies for future drill testing. Tri Origin's application of modern exploration techniques has been the first work in this area since the 1980's. Tri Origin was successful in its intent to detect new prospective targets during this initial test program that may indicate covered gold deposits or previously unknown extensions of known gold zones and to thereby substantiate the planning of a larger survey and diamond drill program in the future.

The Sky Lake gold property covers a 23 kilometre long portion of a well-mineralized belt of volcanic and sedimentary rock that lies midway between the past-producing gold deposits of the 2 million ounce Pickle Lake Gold District to the northeast and the Golden Patricia gold mine to the west. The geological environment being investigated by the Company strongly resembles that hosting the important current and past-producing LaRonde, Bousquet and Doyon gold mines in Quebec where over 25 million ounces of gold have been identified and recovered by mining companies including Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd, IAMGOLD Corporation, Barrick Gold Corporation and LAC Minerals Ltd.

Tri Origin is excited about its prospects at Sky Lake. It has assembled a district-scale property and designed an exploration program focused on its systematic evaluation in the search for multi-million ounce gold deposits of the Bousquet/LaRonde type.

Follow-up work programs are being designed by the Company and shareholders will be informed of commencement of the next phases of work at the Sky Lake gold project.
