Auryn Confirms Age of Mineralizing Intrusives at Sombrero District
Equivalent to Major Deposits in the Andahuaylas-Yauri
Belt
Vancouver, Canada – January 17th,
2020 – Auryn Resources Inc.
(TSX: AUG, NYSE American: AUG) (“Auryn” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce it has
identified the age of the intrusives directly associated with
mineralization at the Sombero copper – gold skarn project in
Peru. Based on results from five uranium – lead samples
obtained from diorite sills at the Ccascabamba and Nioc targets,
ages range from 38.85 to 40.47 million years (Figure 1). This
places the mineralization within the same Eocene-aged metallogenic
event that produced several world-class deposits in the
Andahuaylas-Yauri belt, such as Las Bambas (Figure 2). It also
establishes that the belt extends over 100 kilometers to the west,
where the Sombrero project is located.
A Message from Michael Henrichsen, C.O.O. & Chief
Geologist:
“The
age dating results represent a very significant development in our
exploration model and further support the potential for the
discovery of world-class deposits. We are very fortunate to have
been first movers on the Sombrero district, consolidating over
130,000 hectares, and to now have determined the world-class
Andahuaylas-Yauri belt extends to include Auryn’s
property.”
Table 1
below compares ages of mineralizing intrusives from Sombrero to
select major deposits to the east in the Andahuaylas-Yauri
belt:

Ccasccabamba and Nioc targets within the Sombrero project. The
mineralizing intrusives are Eocene in age and equivalent to other
world-class deposits to the east, such as Las Bambas.
Figure 2: Illustrates the potassium-argon age dates of intrusives
associated with world-class deposits within the Andahuaylas-Yauri

dates are equivalent to those obtained in the Sombrero
district.

About Auryn
Auryn
Resources is a technically-driven junior exploration company
focused on finding and advancing globally significant precious and
base metal deposits. The Company has a portfolio approach to asset
acquisition and has seven projects, including two flagships: the
Committee Bay high-grade gold project in Nunavut and the Sombrero
copper-gold project in southern Peru. Auryn’s technical and
management teams have an impressive track record of successfully
monetizing assets for all stakeholders and local communities in
which it operates. Auryn conducts itself to the highest standards
of corporate governance and sustainability.
About Sombrero
This
project consists of the North Sombrero and South Sombrero
properties, comprising over 120,000 mineral claims owned or
optioned by Auryn Resources. The copper-gold Sombrero mining
concessions are located 340 kilometers SE of Lima in southern Peru
and are hosted in the Andahuaylas-Yauri belt. This belt is
interpreted to be on the north-western margins of this
Eocene-Oligocene aged copper-gold porphyry and skarn belt that
hosts the Las Bambas, Haquira, Los Chancas, Cotambambas,
Constancia, Antapaccay and Tintaya deposits. The project is
characterized by a strong structural control and significant copper
and gold values from historical surface samples. The principle
targets at Sombrero are copper-gold skarn and porphyry systems and
precious metal epithermal deposits.
Sombrero Age Dating, 2019
A total
of seven samples of magmatic rocks were collected for U-Pb zircon
geochronology analysis. From those, two samples (referred to above
as A and B) were sent to Geolab SHRIMP IIe, Institute of
Geochemistry – University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. They were
analysed through the ‘Sensitive High Resolution Ion
Microprobe IIe’ method, or SHRIMP. The other five samples (C,
D, E, F, and G) were sent to CODES Analytical Laboratory,
University of Tasmania, Australia, where it was found that only
three contained zircon. Those three samples were then analysed with
an ASI RESOLution S-155 ablation system with a Coherent Compex Pro
110 Ar-F excimer laser.
