VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jul 8, 2015) - Auryn Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AUG)(GGTCF) ("Auryn"), and North Country Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NCG) ("North Country") are pleased to announce the initiation of a $4 million 2015 summer exploration program at the Committee Bay Gold Project ("Committee Bay") located in Nunavut, Canada. The 2015 exploration program will focus on existing drill-ready targets as well as new areas identified through a recently completed prospectivity analysis on the southwest region of the Committee Bay belt.
The completion of geological, geophysical, and geochemical analysis on the existing data from the Committee Bay project has resulted in the identification of several targets that are collectively considered as potential deposit "footprints" (please see Figure 1). These targets will be the focus of Auryn's and North Country's near-term exploration efforts in the Committee Bay belt. Further analysis across the central and northeast regions of Committee Bay are expected to be completed by Q4, 2015.
