[{"type":"text","content":"Auryn to Sample Historical Drill Core at SombreroVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 29, 2019 / Auryn Resources Inc. (TSX: AUG, NYSE AMERICAN: AUG, ''Auryn'' or the ''Company'') is pleased to announce that it has gained access to drill core from 8 historical drill holes totaling 988 meters of drilling from the Fierrazo target at its Sombrero Project in Southern Peru (Figure 1). The historical drilling was conducted in 2013 by a supplier of concession-holder Corporacion Aceros Arequipa S.A., an established Peruvian steel company, that was focusing on iron skarn mineralization. The drilling ranged in depths from 51 meters to 217 meters, and is in the area where Auryn recently sampled 232 meters of 0.55% of copper equivalent (0.47% copper and 0.13 g/t gold) on surface (see April 3, 2019 news release).A Message from Michael Henrichsen, COO & Chief Geologist:''We are looking forward to receiving the assay results of the historical drill core as it is from the well-mineralized area of Fierrazo where Auryn recently completed surface channel sampling. The results from this core will provide a critical first look at the third dimension of mineralization at the Sombrero project and will rapidly advance our technical teams understanding of the controls of copper - gold mineralization within the project.'' A preliminary review of the drill holes from the Fierrazo prospect indicate that the holes will provide assays from both oxide and sulphide zones within the exoskarn body at Fierrazo. Previous sampling of these holes is incomplete as only partial sections of these holes were sampled targeting iron skarn mineralization. Auryn is currently logging the historical drill holes in preparation for sampling and to gain an understanding of the geological controls on copper-gold mineralization. This data will provide an important calibration of the geophysical responses of the Company's targets, which are currently being permitted for drilling.A Message from Ivan Bebek, Executive Chairman & Director:''We are fortunate to gain access to drill core a few months prior to our maiden drill program.The results from the core and the continued advancement of additional targets through ongoing surface sampling will make for what should be an exciting flow of news as we await drill permits for Sombrero.''
