Daura Gold Announces Additional High-Grade Surface Sampling Results from Antonella Main Zone & Antonella North: 22.84 g/t Au & 102 g/t Ag (Main Zone) & 7.98 g/t Au & 189 g/t Ag (North)

February 4, 2026

February 4, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV:DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura”) is pleased to announce further high-grade surface sampling results from the Company's flagship Antonella Project ("Antonella" or the "Project") and the previously announced vein discovery approximately 1km north of the Antonella main zone, Antonella North, in Ancash, Peru.


Antonella is adjacent to Highlander Silver Corp's Bonita Project, located in a prolific metallogenic belt hosting significant deposits such as Antamina and Barrick's past producing Pierina gold mine. The Project's vein system is hosted in Tertiary volcanic rocks of the Calipuy Group and controlled by NW-SE trending faults, with silicification and argillic alteration halos up to 40 meters wide. The Antonella North vein system is a previously undescribed, separate vein array adjacent and parallel to Antonella.


"Mapping and sampling at Antonella and Antonella North continues to deliver high grade assays, expanding the footprint of the project at surface," said Mark Sumner, CEO of Daura. "We will continue working to establish the critical foundations of community engagement, regulatory approvals and exploration-driven knowledge to drive momentum for our flagship project."


Sampling Highlights:


  • 13 rock chip samples were collected from the Antonella main zone.

  • Standout samples from Antonella main zone:
  • 22.84 g/t Au & 102 g/t Ag.
  • 7.83 g/t Au & 57.1 g/t Ag; and
  • 1.26 g/t Au & 24.8 g/t Ag.


  • 11 rock chip samples were collected from Antonella North, approximately 1km north of the Antonella main zone.


  • Standout samples from Antonella North:
  • 7.98 g/t Au & 189 g/t Ag; and
  • 3.95 g/t Au & 110 g/t Ag.


Figure 1(below) shows the sampling results with respect to previous sampling at Antonella North, together with highlighted sampling from Antonella main zone.

The reported results from mineralization at Antonella North are associated with vein-type structures ranging from 0.3 to 1.0 m widths trending:

  • 015° in the northern sector, where they outcrop over an approximate length of 60 m and contain high gold and silver grades;
  • 348° in the southern sector, where the vein widths outcrops over a length of approximately 30 m and the mineralization is characterized by high gold and silver grades.


The reported results from mineralization at Antonella main zone are associated with vein-type structures ranging from 0.3 to 1.0 m widths trending:

  • 095°, where they outcrop over an approximate length of 10 m and contain high gold and silver grades.

Structural interpretation from recently acquired satellite imagery has identified two distinct structural corridors, namely Antonella & Antonella North. These regional corridors are each over 5km long and represent NW trending compressional strike-slip duplex fault arrays that were in-part reactivated as extensional mineralizing systems associated with bonanza-grade precious metal mineralization.

Next Steps

Daura will continue geological mapping and sampling across the Antonella concessions, when the community's permission is obtained. Geophysical surveys using magnetometry are planned to further define structures associated with mineralization. Structural targeting in conjunction with satellite alteration mapping is currently in progress and results of this work will aid in more detailed exploration, including geological targeting for follow-up ground truthing and sampling.

Technical Information and Quality Control / Quality Assurance

Grab samples were collected by the Company's geologists and the individual samples, bagged, sealed and placed into sealed dispatch bags under the direct supervision of the Company's staff before being dispatched to Actlabs Skyline Peru, an arms-length laboratory, for preparation and analysis. The entire sample was dried and crushed to 75% passing 2mm, with splits pulverized to 95% passing 106 microns.


Gold was analyzed by 30g charge Fire Assay, with an Atomic Adsorption finish. Multi-element analysis was carried out on a 4-acid digest aliquot by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and over-range samples were subsequently determined by appropriate single element analyses, in accordance with Actlabs standard procedures.


The internal QA/QC program included the submission of 10% quality control materials including field duplicates, blanks and Certified Reference Material (CRM) standards. Coarse rejects and pulps are retained in secure storage for future verification or testing as required. QA/QC results were reviewed by the Company's technical team, led by Martin Zegarra, and were found to be within acceptable limits.


Readers are cautioned that that grab samples are selective by nature and not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the Project.

March 4, 2026
March 4, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV:DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura” ) is pleased to announce that it has expanded the land package of the 100%-owned Tayacoto Project located in Peru (“Tayacoto” or the “Project”), by staking the 1,000-hectare Agustina concession immediately north of Tayacoto. This strategic acquisition consolidates the Company’s control over the northern extension of the interpreted structural corridor that hosts mineralization within Tayacoto. The concession was acquired by direct application through INGEMMET, Peru’s state agency for mining concessions. Mark Sumner, Daura’s CEO, commented: “The addition of the Agustina concession represents an important step in consolidating the broader Tayacoto district. Tayacoto hosts high-grade silver-gold-copper-lead vein mineralization outboard of Daura’s principal porphyry-type exploration targeting. The addition of Agustina strengthens our control in the area, providing an opportunity to expand both the known polymetallic vein systems and evaluate the porphyry potential in a mineralizing district containing world-class deposits that fit within an iIntrusion-centered exploration model.” The concession (highlighted in red with a black outline in Figure 1 ) lies within a region previously termed the Pucajirca Volcanic Center. This ‘volcanic center’ contains a number of porphyry-type prospects hosted within the Calipuy Volcanic Group, including Highlander Silver Corp.’s Cerro Colorado and Daniela projects. Previously reported reconnaissance mapping and sampling within the Tayacoto concession returned high-grade surface sampling results, including 6.1 g/t Au, 1,153 g/t Ag, 0.4% Cu, and >14% Pb ( Daura News Release, November 11, 2025 ). These results confirm strong silver-lead mineralization with subordinate copper, zinc, and gold. This reported sampling is situated approximately 2.5 km east of Highlander Silver Corp.’s Daniela project and 1.5 km west of Daura’s porphyry-type exploration target within the Tayacoto concession ( Figure 2a ). The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource at Tayacoto, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. The Company is currently undertaking a remote sensing targeting program integrating surface sampling results, ASTER-derived hydrothermal alteration mapping, and detailed structural targeting analysis ( Figure 2b ).

February 23, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV:DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura” ) is pleased to announce that, following a detailed review of historical drill core, new high-grade infill sampling results have significantly enhanced the precious metals intercepts at its flagship Antonella Project (“Antonella” or the “Project”), adjacent to Highlander Silver Corp.’s Bonita Project in Ancash, Peru. The previous, private owner of the Project drilled 12 holes at Antonella in 2011 and selectively sampled drill core, leaving significant mineralized intervals unsampled. Systematic infill sampling of the historic core has increased gold equivalent ‡ gram meters * for the Project’s significant intercepts # by 51%, confirming higher-grade continuity in the key vein systems from existing core. Highlights are listed below with corresponding images, drill map and sections in Figures 1-5. Drill intercepts are in Table 1. Mark Sumner, CEO of Daura commented, “The systematic infill sampling of historic drill core has significantly increased the previously reported gold and silver intervals at Antonella, revealing wide intercepts across multiple holes and identifying high grade vein mineralization in 9 of 12 drill holes. This new data underpins the potential of the Antonella project, as well as the quality of Daura’s technical team by recognizing and executing on the opportunity to enhance our drilling dataset”. Stuart Milles, VP of Exploration for Daura, commented, “The upgraded drill intercepts at Antonella provide critical new insights into Antonella’s mineralizing system, including high-value pathfinder geochemical vectors. These data are essential for targeting high-grade extensions and expansion of the Antonella deposit in the Company’s future planned drill program”. Highlights of the Recent Drill Core Infill Sampling Program: 513 infill drill core samples were collected from the historic drill core from Antonella Main zone. CBD11004B - 22.4m at 4.36 g/t Au & 23 g/t Ag from 36.8m, including: 1.50m at 4.85 g/t Au and 11.40 g/t Ag from 40.1m; 1.20m at 8.77 g/t Au and 60.90 g/t Ag from 42.6m; 0.50m at 18.86 g/t Au and 24.50 g/t Ag from 50.2m; 0.65m at 20.52 g/t Au and 45.70 g/t Ag from 51.9m; and 0.80m at 19.25 g/t Au and 241 g/t Ag from 52.55m. CBD11004A - 17.2m at 0.95 g/t Au & 10 g/t Ag (1.11 g/t AuEq. ‡ ) from 30.4m, including; 1.10m at 2.85 g/t Au and 39.8 g/t Ag from 42.3m; and 1.30m at 2.33 g/t Au and 14.4 g/t Ag from 43.4m.

February 17, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV:DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura” ) is pleased to announce that it has commenced its Phase One diamond drilling program at the Cerro Bayo Gold–Silver Project (“Cerro Bayo” or the “Project”), located in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. Cerro Bayo is located in Argentina’s premier gold-silver district, the Deseado Massif, which has produced 600+ million ounces of silver and 20+ million ounces of gold since 1990 and hosts major mines like Newmont’s Cerro Negro and Hochschild’s San Jose. See the details of Daura’s option agreement on Cerro Bayo in the Company’s news release dated November 3, 2025 ( Cerro Bayo News Release ). “The commencement of drilling at Cerro Bayo is a key milestone for Daura and marks the first systematic drill test of this highly prospective project,” said Mark Sumner, CEO of Daura Gold. “With 15 well-defined targets supported by geochemistry and IP geophysics, this Phase One program gives us multiple opportunities for discovery and represents an important step in unlocking this project’s potential.” Drill Program Overview The Phase One drilling program will consist of approximately 22 diamond drill holes totaling 1,500 metres, designed to test 15 priority exploration targets generated from the integration of historical geochemical sampling, gradient array Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey and defined by IP Profiling. In the northern target area, three pole-dipole IP profile lines were completed, resulting in the identification of eight drill targets. Initial drilling will focus on three priority targets, which will be tested with ten diamond drill holes totaling approximately 500 metres. In the southern target area, seven priority drill targets have been outlined and will be tested with 14 diamond drill holes totaling approximately 1,000 metres. These targets are associated with Apparent Resistivity features that coincide with the surface geochemical responses and are interpreted as structural controls, consistent with the Project’s low-sulfidation epithermal gold–silver mineralization model. The objective of the program is to confirm the presence, continuity, and orientation of mineralized structures at depth, while advancing multiple target areas toward potential follow-up drilling. The Company will provide updates as drilling progresses and analytical results are received and interpreted.
