Phoenix, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - October 6, 2020) - The Stock Day Podcast welcomed Auryn Resources (TSX: AUG) (NYSE American: AUG) ("the Company") after the completion of its successful shareholder vote in support of spinning out Auryn's Peruvian projects to shareholders, acquiring Eastmain Resources and renaming as Fury Gold Mines ("Fury"), a Canadian-focused gold exploration and development company. The vote also approved of a C$23M financing for Fury, which will fund the inaugural 50-thousand-meter drill program planned to commence in November at the newly acquired Eau Claire project in Quebec. Auryn's Executive Chairman and Director, Ivan Bebek, joined Stock Day host Everett Jolly.

"What we've just announced is that we are splitting Auryn into three companies, and we are taking over Eastmain," shared Bebek. Auryn entered into an agreement at the end of July to acquire Eastmain Resources in an all-share deal set to close on October 9, 2020. "Auryn is going to change its name to Fury Gold Mines… [and] it's going to be led by a CEO of the name Mike Timmins," he added. Timmins formerly worked at Agnico Eagle as the VP of Corporate Development and has a similar vision for the growth of Fury, which Bebek says will begin trading as soon as next week.

"The other two entities will be Sombrero Resources and Tier One Metals," said Bebek, speaking of the two companies spinning out from Auryn and holding the Peruvian assets. "For Sombrero Resources I'll be the CEO and for Tier One Metals I'll be the Chair," he added. "Sombrero's focus will be on the big gold and copper district we have…A once in a lifetime chance we're describing to go find one of the world's largest copper discoveries in Southern Peru," said Bebek, before elaborating on the potential of the project. He then shared that Sombrero Resources should be able to secure drill permits in Q1, and investors can expect to see Sombrero trading at that time as well.

Bebek then expanded on Tier One Metals, including the potential of multi-kilo silver discoveries. "In the spirit of wanting more for shareholders, we've identified a couple of other assets that are silver and gold acquisitions that we want to go and pursue before Tier One Metals resumes trading, which is expected in February of 2021," shared Bebek. "It's a pretty awesome transformation event."

"When can investors take advantage of this deal?", asked Jolly. "Our personal advice to ourselves and our friends and family is to buy shares prior to the spin out so that you get all three. The last day that we are aware of to do that is by the end of business this Thursday, October 8th," explained Bebek.

"What do you think this deal is going to create for the shareholders?", asked Jolly. Bebek elaborated on the potential of the Company's divisions, "Ultimately, yes, I'm saying that all three companies should add up to 3x Auryn's value by the time they get trading."

The conversation then turned to the Company's strategy for Fury Gold Mines Limited. "I would have to go with drilling first," said Bebek. "The 50,000-meter drill program that we're starting on November 1st is going to be substantial," he continued, noting that the project currently represents a 1.1-million-ounce deposit. "With this program, our goal is going to be to see if at the very least we can double it, which would be a tremendous value to shareholders," said Bebek. "Fury is going to become a drilling company essentially."

To close the interview, Bebek expressed his confidence in the Company's potential and value as they reorganize at the beginning of a bull market. "I think investors should take away the chance of a lifetime for us to create substantial shareholder value going forward," said Bebek.
