AURYN Mining Corp. (AUMC)

[Mike Gold]

Since there is some question out there on the role that I play in all of this-perhaps an explaination is in order?

I am a shareholder of Medinah/Cerro..nothing more..nothing less. I am not an insider, or a friend/relative of an insider. I have never been involved with a private placement with the company..all my shares were bought on the open market.

I have only meet board members once at a shareholder meeting in Reno-a number of years ago. I rarely talk with board members but I do try to contact Les or Jim R. about once every week or two. I do network on an almost daily basis with many of the larger shareholders and quite a few of the smaller ones as well. I almost always have a good sense of what is going on at Medinah/Cerro.

My original interest in the company was purely random. I came across NPEC(Now NPER) on the SI thread..and from there learned about Medinah Energy(Minerals). I bought a position in Medinah when they purchased the "Santiago properties"..I believe almost ten years. I have some geology background and was able to quickly realize the potential that the property held.

I have bought shares in the company every year since that time. In last year or so..I bought mostly shares of Cerro due to less dilution of shares as compared to Medinah.

I have played an active role as a shareholder..mostly because I brought in quite number of shareholders into this..and feel obligated to make sure they have the best information available to make investment decision.

I will be here until the end..which I hope is a buyout in the multidollar range.

Let me know if any one has any further questions.
