July 16, 2025 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV: DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura” ) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement to acquire five strategic mineral concessions totaling approximately 2,900 hectares (the “Project” ) in the Ancash Department of Peru. The Project surrounds the southern half of the Company’s Antonella Project and bordering Highlander Silver’s San Luis project to the south. The Project shares multiple borders to the south and east of the Bonita target where Highlander is currently drilling. The acquisition will further consolidate Daura’s land position in one of Peru’s most prospective gold and silver districts. The concessions, highlighted in red with black frame, lie within the highly prospective Pucajirca volcanic center, a region known for hosting the San Luis, Antonella, and Bonita vein systems. These vein systems are part of the Calipuy Group, which is geologically characterized by andesitic lava flows and pyroclastic ash deposits rich in lithic fragments. While these volcanic units remain largely unaltered across most of the district, they display intense argillic alteration and pervasive silicification near mineralized veins—key indicators for precious metals mineralization. Inside these concessions, zones shown as 1, 2 and 3, are among the immediate development targets to explore. Luis Saenz, Daura CEO commented: “This acquisition marks a further step in Daura’s strategy to consolidate and control one of the most geologically compelling gold-silver districts in Peru. The proximity of these new claims to both the Antonella and Bonita vein systems, along with strong structural and geological continuity, provides an exciting opportunity to extend known mineralization and make new discoveries. We believe these concessions significantly enhance the scale and upside potential of our exploration portfolio.” Daura will assume all concession fees due and payable to Ministry of Mines associated with the Project. The Project will be transferred for the price of US$1.00 (one and 00/100 dollars of the United States of America) per mining concession and a 1% NSR royalty in favor of the vendor. Prior to the commencement of mine construction on the Project, Daura may buy back 50% of the royalty for US$250,000. Completion of the acquisition of the Project remains subject to the negotiation of definitive documentation and the satisfaction of customary closing deliverables. Geological and structural analysis indicates that the vein systems across the Antonella and Bonita projects are controlled by NW-SE trending faults associated with the broader Andean fault system and are complemented by secondary E-W and NE-SW oriented faults. Importantly, the newly acquired claims by DGC fall directly within this structural corridor. Early fieldwork and mapping have identified vein outcrops in Zone 1, with evidence of vein continuity extending southwest into Zone 2—suggesting the potential for a continuous, mineralized vein system connecting the Antonella and Bonita zones. These features underscore the high prospectivity of Zones 1, 2, and 3 for hosting additional gold and silver-bearing veins. Historical drilling on both the Antonella and Bonita projects has confirmed the presence of gold-silver mineralization at depth, with the most robust vein structures and highest grades found toward the southwest—directly aligned with the location of Daura’s new claims. This trend strongly supports the interpretation that these newly acquired concessions could host a direct continuation of the Au-Ag mineralized system, significantly enhancing Daura’s discovery potential in the region.

June 18, 2025 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV: DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura”) is pleased to announce the acquisition of an additional 4,700 hectares contiguous with the Yanamina gold-silver project (“Yanamina” or the “Project”) which is located within close proximity to the Yanamina historical resource. Daura plans to test outcrops in the these newly staked claims which present similar geology to the surficial mineralization at Yanamina. Highlights: Acquisition of newly staked 4,700 hectares in the Yanamina Project area, approximately 40km north of Daura’s high-grade Antonella target and the bonanza grade San Luis Gold Project owned by Highlander Silver. The Yanamina Project has historical indicated resources of 1,566,900 tonnes at 1.65 g/t Au for a total of 83,100 (oz) of gold (Au) and 3,235,000 tonnes at 1.19 g/t Au for a total of 123,700 ounces of Au. The Company plans to undertake work to verify and update the historical estimate as a priority. The newly staked claims are 5 km from HudBay’s Ancash exploration project. Yanamina compliments Daura’s project portfolio in the Ancash Department, which is well-known for mining in Peru with major historical production from Barrick’s Pierina gold mine, approximately 40km from Yanamina. And 94km from the Tier 1 Antamina Mine, owned by Glencore, Teck and Mitsubishi. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. Luis Saenz, Daura CEO commented: “The expansion of our land position at Yanamina represents a significant step forward in our strategy to build a high-quality gold-silver portfolio in one of Peru’s most prolific mining regions. The newly acquired claims lie in a highly prospective area that mirrors the geology of known surficial mineralization at Yanamina and strengthens our exploration pipeline. With historical resources already defined, our next steps will focus on validating and expanding the resource base while unlocking new targets across this underexplored ground.”
