Auryn Resources Inc. Confirms Age of Mineralizing Intrusives at Sombrero District Equivalent to Major Deposits in the Andahuaylas-Yauri Belt

Auryn Resources Inc. announced 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. 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. It also establishes that the belt extends over 100 kilometers to the west, where the Sombrero project is located.
