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.

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.

(TSXV:DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura” ) is pleased to announce further high-grade surface sampling results from the previously announced vein extensions in the northern zone of the Company’s flagship Antonella Project (“Antonella” or the “Project”) 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. “These additional high-grade results from the northern vein extensions at Antonella, build on our recent discoveries and underscore the expanding mineralization footprint of the Antonella Project,” said Mark Sumner, CEO of Daura. “The northern veins at Antonella clearly warrant more attention as we work towards tying these zones together and advance SE towards Highlander’s Bonita project.” Highlights of the Sampling Program: 18 rock chip samples were collected approximately 1km north of the Antonella main zone. Standout samples of 55.83 g/t Au & 220 g/t Ag; and 12.33 g/t Au & 99.1 g/t Ag. Additional high grade gold samples include: 2.81 g/t Au & 17.5 g/t Ag; and 1.36 g/t Au & 8 g/t Ag. Figure 1(below) shows the recent sampling results with respect to previous sampling at Antonella North, together with highlighted sampling from Antonella Main.
December 22, 2025
December 22, 2025 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV:DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura” ) is pleased to announce the commencement of Induced Polarization Electrical Pole - Dipole Profiling and Gradient Array Surveys within the Cerro Bayo gold-silver project located in the prolific Deseado Massif , Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. Key Project Highlights Include: Five priority drill target areas identified by geochemistry, mapping, IP surveys and over 100 line-km of detailed magnetics; Initiation of 27 line-kilometer Pole - Dipole Induced Polarization (IP) Profiling of drill target areas within the Cerro Bayo Property Daura is preparing a Phase 1, 1,500 meter drill program planned for Q1, 2026. Mark Sumner, CEO of Daura Gold commented: "We are very pleased to initiate our geophysical surveys, which will be key to building upon the historical generative exploration on a number of priority drill target areas within the fully permitted zones at Cerro Bayo. This critical step sets the stage for a first phase drilling program in Q1 2026, as we seek to unlock the potential of this high-quality epithermal gold-silver project." Cerro Bayo: Electrical Induced Polarization (IP) Surveys and Preparation for Drilling: A Pole-Dipole IP profiling program has commenced, consisting of four lines in the southeastern area and three additional, shorter lines in the northwestern area, for a total of approximately 27 line-kilometers. The objective of the program is to complete these transects across the five highest-priority drill target areas before the end of the year. The aim of the profiles is to determine the geometry of the silicified zones previously identified from Gradient Array IP surveying. The silicified zones (silica cap) are anomalous in gold, +/- silver and represent the upper parts of a Low Sulphidation Epithermal (LSE) mineralizing system. The presence of silica cap at Cerro Bayo strongly indicates that the LSE system, with its attendant structurally controlled feeder zone, is preserved. Elsewhere within the Deseado Massif, these feeder zones are host to bonanza grade precious metal deposits, e.g. Newmont's Cerro Nego mine. In Q1 2026, Daura will begin regional Gradient Array surveying on a nominal 200m x 25m offset grid, covering an area of 78km2. This work aims to screen the northern part of the licence area for similar resistivity and or chargeability anomalies to those generated by the previous regional Gradient Array Surveying carried out by Barrick Gold in a previous joint venture with Latin Metals. The 'Barrick Gradient' survey successfully defined extensive linear zones of silicification, which when sampled were significantly anomalous in precious metals.
