Auryn Resources (TSX:AUG,NYSEAMERICAN:AUG) has announced encouraging, new surface results from the Sombrero gold-copper project in southern Peru.

Highlights from these results include trenches with 99 meters of 0.46 percent copper equivalent and 105 meters of 0.3 percent copper equivalent, where mineralization remains open, and several high-grade gold structures, which sampled up to 193 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold.

Executive chairman and director of Auryn, Ivan Bebek said:

“These are the type of results we anticipated from our Sombrero project and we have only just scratched the surface. These initial results confirm the potential scale and strength of the mineralized system at Sombrero.
“Between our plans for drilling this summer at Committee Bay in Nunavut and our work at Sombrero, it is going to be an exciting year for Auryn shareholders. We are expecting surface results out of Peru throughout the year and we are aiming to commence our first Sombrero drill program in Q4.”
