Auryn Resume Work in Peru!

Auryn Resources is resuming exploration activities at its Sombrero- gold skarn mineralization and Curibaya- silver & gold veins, projects in southern Peru. The Company has received approval from the Peruvian government to resume work following restrictions that had been put in place due to Covid-19.

 

In a message from Ivan Bebek, Executive Chairman & Director said, "It is very exciting to be getting back to work in Peru. Our exploration opportunities are substantial and although Covid has lengthened the process to acquire permits, this time has allowed us to become more involved with surrounding communities, and we can now move forward with a much more comprehensive foundation.

 

"We are confident that our drill permit for Sombrero will advance as restrictions in Peru continue to ease and we appreciate the patience and support from our shareholders through the last quarter of uncertainties. We are looking forward to the second half of 2020, which will be busier as we resume exploration and permitting efforts at both our Curibaya and Sombrero projects."

 

In a Summary of Peruvian Work Plan informs for Curibaya Project that the upcoming work plan at the Curibaya project consists of pre-drilling work, with the intent of applying for a drill permit as soon as targeting is complete. The program is outlined as follows 1: Improvement of road access, due to previous flood damage, and establishment of an exploration camp on site.

 

Sombrero Project, the work plan at the Sombrero project consists of continuing the drill permitting process that has been suspended due to Covid-19 restrictions emplaced by Peruvian authorities. Our Peruvian community teams are working with the Huanca Sancos community to deliver a positive outcome for the Consulta Previa process, to which we are liaising with the government and community to ensure support of Auryn's drill program at the Sombrero Main target area.

 

In addition, Auryn is working towards traditional community agreements with the Lucanamarca and San Jose de Huarcaya communities such that the Nioc and Good Lucky targets can be advanced while awaiting drill permits.

 

In addition, Auryn plans to advance the Ccello high sulphidation precious metal target in the southern region of the Sombrero district with a ground-based geophysical induced polarization survey over the two-by-two-kilometer alteration system that is characterized by silver mineralization and associated pathfinder elements of arsenic and antimony.
