Tri Origin Exploration Ltd. announced that it has acquired a new property strategically located 20 kilometres west of the Detour Lake Gold Mine and 180 kilometres north of Timmins, Ontario. It is interpreted by Tri Origin to be underlain by a previously unexplored extension of the Detour Lake Gold Mining District and, as such, represents a unique opportunity for the Company. The Detour West property consists of 30 staked mining claims comprising 480 claim units covering an area of approximately 19,000 acres owned 100% by Tri Origin.

The claims tie directly onto mining claims held by Detour Gold Corporation the operator of the nearby Detour Lake Mine which has a 15.5 million ounce gold reserve making it one of the gold reserves in Canada.
