Auryn Resources Provides Update on 60% of the 2016 Committee Bay Results
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- 10/03/16 Auryn Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: AUG)(OTCQX: GGTCF) ("Auryn" or the "Company") is pleased to announce partial results from its summer exploration program at the 300 km long Committee Bay Gold Project. Highlights include 13.71 meters of 1.91g/t at the Anuri prospect and 23 meters of 2.5g/t and 30 meters of 2.12g/t from the Three Bluffs deposit. During the 8 week summer program, the Company completed a major screening of the Committee Bay greenstone belt with approximately 10,000 meters of rotary air blast ("RAB") drilling, 3,750 meters of diamond drilling at the Three Bluffs deposit, 5,500 regional till samples, 3,100 XRF till samples, 1,000 line kilometers of mapped boulders and 3,500 square kilometers of drone imagery over an 8 week field season covering an estimated 85% of the belt (see figure 1).
Michael Henrichsen, Chief Geologist and COO of Auryn commented, "The initial RAB exploration drill results successfully intersected structures with gold mineralization underneath till cover. This has been a critical step forward on our path to discovery as it allows us to effectively target and drill the numerous high-grade corridors that have been highlighted from our 2016 summer reconnaissance work.
