Auryn Expands Sombrero District
(PresseBox) - Auryn Resources Inc. (TSX: AUG, NYSE American: AUG) (?Auryn? or the ?Company - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89IOKIaiPvc&index=1&list=PLBpDlKjdv3yrtJgU748Qq7eaRUpid3YYq&t=32s) is pleased to announce that it has staked a substantial land position in the Andahuaylas-Yauri belt in southern Peru. This area hosts significant large-scale porphyry and skarn deposits such as the Las Bambas, Tintaya, Antapaccay, Cotabambas, Los Chancas, and Constancia deposits, as well as Auryn?s undrilled Sombrero project (Figure 1).
Approximately 60,000 hectares has been applied for 75 kilometers to the southeast of Auryn?s Sombrero project, establishing the Company as a dominant player within the region. The areas staked represent both epithermal gold-silver and copper-gold skarn/porphyry targets (Figure 2 & 3). were typically five-times background level.
This latest staking has more than doubled the Company?s current land position to over 100,000 hectares in the region. The next stage of Auryn?s exploration process will be to conduct systematic follow-up work consisting of high-density stream sediment sampling, reconnaissance rock sampling, mapping, trenching and geophysical programs.
Michael Henrichsen, Auryn?s COO and Chief Geologist, stated, ?This is a rare opportunity in the region as we don?t believe there has been any systematic exploration in this area of Peru due to the perceived nature of an overlying post-mineralization volcanic cover. Our field observations resulted in the identification of several erosional windows through the volcanic cover that exhibit epithermal, porphyry and skarn styles of mineralization. More importantly, the overlying volcanic cover rock has been observed to host precious metal style epithermal mineralization.?
Michael Henrichsen, P.Geo, COO of Auryn, is the Qualified Person who assumes responsibility for the technical disclosures in this press release.

Peru Stream Sediment Samples, 2017:
Samples between 0.5 to 3kg were collected from stream sediments. The samples were then sent to ALS Lab in Vancouver, BC for preparation and analysis. They are analyzed using Ultra-Trace Au by Cyanide Extraction and ICP-MS finish method (Au-CN44) and ultra-trace multi-element Aqua Regia digest ICP-AES/ICP-MS method (ME-MS41L). Samples from follow-up stream sediment survey are analyzed using Super-Trace Au and multi-element by Aqua Regia digest and ICP-MS finish method (AuME-ST44). QA/QC programs using internal standard samples, field and lab duplicates, re-assays, and blanks indicate acceptable accuracy and precision in a large majority of standards assayed.
