Cautionary Notes
Introductory Cautionary Notes
This document has been prepared by Auryn Resources Inc. (the “Company”) to introduce the Company’s mineral exploration projects. Because it is a high
level summary presentation, the information contained herein cannot contain all the information that should be reviewed before making an investment
decision. As noted below, the information herein is qualified by the more detailed information contained in the Company’s continuous disclosure record
found at www.sedar.com and at www.sec.gov. No securities regulatory authority has in any way passed on the merits of this presentation nor any securities
referred herein.
The presentation contains "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements provide guidance about our plans and aspirations in particular relating
to the exploration and potential for development of our mineral properties. These statements, including graphics, involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from the
expectations expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
The Company cannot assume a responsibility to keep this presentation updated. Therefore readers should refer to the risk factors and other current
information discussed in the Company’s Annual Information Form and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2018 and subsequent continuous disclosure
filings with the Canadian Securities Administrators available at www.sedar.com and the Company’s registration statement on Form 40-F filed with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov.
These risks include project title risks. Auryn holds certain of its interests in Peru through Corisur Peru SAC, which controls (among other) certain licenses
(including the Huilacollo and Baños del Indio projects) that are located within a special legal zone which runs 50km back from the Peruvian border. As a non-
Peruvian company, Auryn’s right to ultimately acquire title over the shares issued by Corisur Peru SAC and to own and/or exploit these licenses requires
approval from the Peruvian government. While Auryn is in the process of submitting its applications with respect to the approval and does not currently
foresee any legal reason why it would be denied the approval, some risk of denial or delay should be assumed to exist.
Michael Henrichsen (Chief Operating Officer), P. Geo is the QP who assumes responsibility for the technical contents of this Presentation.
Cautionary note to United States investors concerning estimates of measured, indicated and inferred resources estimates
This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities
laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral resource estimates included in this disclosure have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National
Instrument 43-101 (“Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum classification systems. NI
43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and
technical information concerning mineral projects. These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”), and resource estimates disclosed herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies.
In addition, this disclosure uses the terms “measured and indicated resources” and “inferred resources” to comply with the reporting standards in Canada.
The Company advises United States investors that while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize
them. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into mineral
reserves. Further, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically.
Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the “inferred resources” exist. In accordance with Canadian
securities laws, estimates of “inferred resources” cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of
“measured and indicated resources” or “inferred resources” will ever be upgraded to a higher category or are economically or legally mineable. In addition,
disclosure of “contained ounces” is permitted disclosure under Canadian securities laws; however, the SEC only permits issuers to report mineralization as in
place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

The Mineral Resource estimate prepared by RPA for the Three Bluffs deposit as of May 31, 2017. The Mineral Resource is based on work by RPA in 2013 and new cut-off grades
based on updated metal price, exchange rate, and operating costs. Refer to NI43-101 report dated May 31, 2017 filed at www.sedar.com
Notes:
1. CIM definitions were followed for Mineral Resources.
2. Mineral Resources are estimated at cut-off grades of 3.0 g/t Au for open pit and 4.0 g/t Au for underground.
3. Mineral Resources are estimated using a long-term gold price of US$1,200 per ounce, and a US$/C$ exchange rate of 1:25.
4. Nominal minimum mining widths of five metres (open pit) and two metres (underground) were used.
5. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

Alturas Option Agreement (Sombrero)
§ Under the terms of the Agreement dated on June 28th, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), Alturas granted to Auryn the
exclusive assignable right and conditional option (the “Option”) to acquire either 80% or 100% of the Sombrero
concessions
§ In order to exercise the Option and acquire a participating interests (“Interest”) for 80% of the Sombrero
concessions, Auryn must incur up to US$2.1 million work expenditures within a five year period and make cash
payments of $200,000 as follows:
§ $140,000 upon entering into this Agreement which has been paid; and
§ $60,000 on or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date
§ Upon Auryn having completed its requirements to earn an 80% interest in the Sombrero Project, the parties shall
form a customary 80:20 joint venture vehicle. For a period of 1 year after the formation of the Joint Venture (the
“Initial Period”), Alturas’ 20% interest shall be “free carried” and Auryn shall have a right to acquire the remaining
20% from Alturas for US$5 million
38

RESOURCES
Aceros Option Agreement (Sombrero)
§ Under the terms of certain definitive agreements with Aceros, Auryn, through its wholly owned Peruvian subsidiary, Sombrero Minerales
SAC (“SomMin”), will initially option the three concessions from Aceros through mining assignment and lease agreements using an
internationally recognized bank trustee. Under these agreements, SomMin has a right to form an 80:20 corporate joint venture after
completing a series of cash payments, work commitments and technical studies, which confirm certain minimum relative values of the
two concession groups as detailed below:
§ If the Option is exercised, SomMin will hire an independent engineer to complete two preliminary economic scoping studies (PEAs) over
a period of two years. These PEAs will be a study of the existing magnetite deposits and of any identified non-ferrous (including Cu, Au,
Ag, Mo) mineralization, respectively. If it can be shown that the net present value (NPV) of any non-ferrous deposit located within
Sombrero Main or the Aceros Concessions is greater than five times the NPV of the existing magnetite deposits within the Aceros
Concessions then the Option is considered fulfilled and an 80:20 (SomMin:Aceros) corporate joint venture will be established using a
newly-formed, jointly-owned Peruvian corporation.
§ In the event SomMin is unable to show that the net present value (NPV) of any non-ferrous deposit is greater than five times the NPV of
the existing magnetite deposits, then it can attain an extension of up to three years if an NPV of at least $100 million was shown and
SomMin must pay Aceros an additional $2 million for each year of extension.
§ Once the joint venture is established, it will be governed by a customary shareholders’ agreement with specific provisions allowing for
the dilution of non-contributing parties and drag-along and first refusal rights.
§ Formation of the joint venture also requires that SomMin first exercise its existing option rights with Alturas Minerales SAC to acquire a
100% interest in the underlying Sombrero concessions. No securities of Auryn are involved in the transaction but Auryn will provide a
customary parent company guarantee of SomMin’s obligations to Aceros.
