Daura Gold Announces Completion of 27 km of Induced Polarization Surveying and Advances Drill Target Definition at the Cerro Bayo Gold-Silver Project, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina

January 20, 2026

January 20, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV:DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of 27 line-kilometers of Induced Polarization (IP) profiling at the Cerro Bayo Gold–Silver Project (“Cerro Bayo” or the “Project”), located in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.


The completed IP program provides a robust geophysical framework that will be used to define and prioritize drill targets for the Company’s planned Phase 1 drilling program totaling approximately 1,500 meters.


Key Project Highlights Include:

  • Completion of seven IP profiles across the project for an aggregated 27 line-kilometers of pole-dipole survey
  • The 7 profiles were sited over previously identified drill target areas to define targets for the Phase 1 drill program, slated to begin in mid-February
  • The IP responses aided in the delineation of structurally controlled zones interpreted to represent silicified veins and mineralizing conduits


Mark Sumner, CEO of Daura Gold commented:  “The completion of seven Pole–Dipole IP survey lines marks an important milestone for Daura, providing valuable insight into the geometry and extent of potential mineralization across 15 priority targets within both our northern and southern target areas. The results have clearly delineated structurally controlled zones, which we interpret as potential mineralizing conduits and feeder structures. This data will play a key role in refining and prioritizing drill targets ahead of our planned Phase 1 drill program.”


Cerro Bayo: Electrical Induced Polarization (IP) Surveys and Preparation for Drilling:

A Pole–Dipole IP profiling program has been completed, 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. 15 drill targets were generated from the integration of previous geochemical sampling and a Previous Gradient Array IP survey covering the southern area of the license area.


A Phase 1 program of 22 diamond drill holes for approximately 1,500m aims to test the 15 targets for approximately 1,500m diamond drilling. In the northern target area, three IP profile lines were completed and 8 drill targets have been identified, of which 3 targets will be tested with 8 diamond drill holes for 500m. In the southern area 7 drill targets will be tested with 14 drill holes for 1,000m of diamond drilling.

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.
