Auryn Applies Machine Learning for Targeting High-Grade Gold at Committee Bay

30 January 2019

Vancouver, British Columbia – January 30, 2019 – Auryn Resources Inc. (TSX: AUG, NYSE AMERICAN: AUG, “Auryn” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has implemented an artificial intelligence program to assist in the targeting of high-grade gold mineralization at Committee Bay. Auryn is teaming up with Computational Geosciences Inc. (CGI) to employ their proprietary VNet segmentation deep learning algorithm.

Michael Henrichsen, COO & Chief Geologist:

“The Committee Bay belt represents a global opportunity for substantial gold deposits. As a technical team, we remain committed to discovering large-scale gold deposits and we will continue to use innovative techniques, such as machine learning, to improve our probability of success when working on a widely till-covered belt.

“The CGI machine learning platform will leverage our highly-disciplined and thorough approach to data collection with the deep knowledge of Auryn’s technical team to produce the highest probability targets. We look forward to revealing our revised targets later this month.”
