Daura Gold Announces High-Grade Surface Sampling Results and Vein Extensions at Antonella Project, Reinforcing Continuity with Highlander Silver's Bonita Project

September 9, 2025

September 9, 2025 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp.  (formerly Daura Capital Corp.) (TSXV:DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura”), is pleased to announce high-grade surface sampling results and the delineation of vein extensions at the Antonella Project ("Antonella" or the "Project") in Ancash, Peru. The work confirms strong gold and silver mineralization and supports the continuity of Antonella's vein system toward Highlander Silver Corp's adjacent Bonita Project, reinforcing the potential for a unified mineralized corridor.


Antonella is 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.


Highlights of the Sampling Program:


  • 47 rock chip samples collected across the Antonella vein system and southwest extensions.
  • 19 samples exceeding 100 g/t Ag, with values up to 650 g/t Ag.
  • 6 samples exceeding 10 g/t Au, with grades up to 22.6g/t Au.
  • Standout samples include:
  • 22.6 g/t Au & 101 g/t Ag;
  • 17.65 g/t Au & 348 g/t Ag; and
  • 16.05 g/t Au & 320 g/t Ag.
  • Mapping confirmed mineralized veins extending southwest toward Highlander Silver's Bonita Project.


"The mapping and sampling confirm the extension of high-grade veins southwest toward Bonita, solidifying our view of a continuous mineralized system," said Martin Zegarra Diaz, lead geologist on the Project. "These results provide a strong foundation for defining drill targets in this emerging district."

Key veins mapped at surface include:

  • Esperanza Vein: Exposed over approximately 300 meters with an average thickness of 0.8 meters, narrowing to 0.2-0.3 meters at the northwest and southeast ends.
  • Romina Vein: Exposed over approximately 350 meters with an average thickness of 0.5-0.8 meters, narrowing to 0.2 meters toward the northwest.
Figure 2: Outcrops of the Romina and Esperanza Veins at Antonella, showing robust surface mineralization trending southeast towards Highlander’s Bonita Project.

Between these structures, secondary veins and branches (0.05-0.3 meters thick) have been identified, with minor mineralized features extending southwest, suggesting further continuity in that direction.


These results confirm epithermal-style mineralization rich in Ag, Au, Pb, and Cu, associated with the extension of the Antonella vein system toward the southwest.


Antonella lies approximately 700 meters northeast of Highlander Silver’s Bonita Project, within the same structural corridor. Daura’s recent sampling correlates strongly with Highlander’s July 2025 Bonita drill results, including broad high-grade intercepts such as 23.1 m grading 4.92 g/t Au and 16.56 g/t Ag (BOD-008). Historical drilling at Antonella also returned notable results, including 17.5 m grading 3.27 g/t Au and 22.6 g/t Ag (CBD11004B). These results collectively reinforce the potential for a continuous high-grade vein system across the district.

  • 17.5m at 3.27 g/t Au and 22.6 g/t Ag (from 40.1) including:
  • 5.75m at 5.1 g/t Au and 31.9 g/t Ag (from 40.1)
  • 3.25m at 6.4 g/t Au and 44.1 g/t Ag (from 42.6)
  • 0.95m at 8.87 g/t Au (from 44.9m)
  • 0.8m at 19.25 g/t Au and 241 g/t Ag (from 52.55)
  • 5.05m at 11.6 g/t Au and 90.5 g/t Ag (from 52.55)
  • 0.8m at 15.55 g/t Au and 30.4 g/t Ag (from 56.8)
  • 2.75m at 2.4 g/t Au and 25.4 g/t Ag (from 84.65)
  • 1.85m at 1.4 g/t Au and 97.5 g/t Ag (from 121.2)
  • 0.95m at 1.7 g/t Au and 186 g/t Ag (from 122.1)


Next Steps

Daura will continue geological mapping and sampling across the Antonella concessions, including northern (Estrella 02-19) and southern (Estrella 03-19) blocks. Geophysical surveys using drone-assisted magnetometry are planned to further define structures associated with mineralization. The results will guide drill target definition for upcoming exploration programs.

November 3, 2025 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV:DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura” ) is pleased to announce it has entered into a binding letter agreement (the “Agreement” ) with Latin Metals Inc. (TSXV: LMS)(OTCQB: LMSQF) (“Latin Metals”) , an arms-length party, granting Daura the right to earn up to an 80% interest in the Cerro Bayo and La Flora gold-silver projects (together, the “Projects” ) located in the prolific Deseado Massif, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. Mark Sumner, President of Daura Gold commented: “As Daura continues to advance its flagship Antonella Project in Peru, this agreement provides the Company with excellent optionality on a high-quality, drill ready target in the Deseado Massif, which is one of the world’s most prolific gold and silver districts. This agreement directly aligns with Daura’s strategy of targeting and advancing high-grade epithermal gold and silver systems in proven mineral belts, complementing the Company’s exciting projects in Peru.” Cerro Bayo & La Flora: High-Grade Gold-Silver Potential in the Deseado Massif The Cerro Bayo and La Flora Project lie in the heart of Argentina’s premier gold-silver district, the Deseado Massif, which has yielded more than 600 million ounces of silver and 20 million ounces of gold since 1990 (1) . The district hosts world-class operations such as Newmont’s Cerro Negro Mine (~7 Moz AuEq 2 ) and Hochschild’s San Jose Mine (~64 Moz AgEq 3 ). Exploration to date at Cerro Bayo has defined a 6-kilometre-wide structural corridor with multiple low-sulfidation epithermal-style vein target areas — the same style responsible for the region’s highest-grade precious metal deposits. Key technical highlights include: Nine high-priority drill target areas identified by geochemistry, mapping, IP surveys and over 100 line-km of detailed magnetics; Surface Samples at La Flora have returned up to 71 g/t Au and 150 g/t Ag, and 82 g/t Au and 1,239 g/t Ag. And 2.3 g/t Au and 600 g/t Ag at Cerro Bayo. Drill ready with 21 fully permitted drill pads, following Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approval received in early 2025; Year-round access and strong infrastructure supporting a rapid exploration start-up; Geological and alteration characteristics consistent with known high-grade gold-silver systems in the Deseado Massif. Option Terms Daura will be granted the option (the “ Option ”) to earn a 75% undivided interest in the Projects for a period (the “ Option Period ”) of 38 months from the date of execution and delivery (the “ Effective Date ”) of the Letter Agreement. To exercise the Option, Daura must make aggregate payments of US $1,700,000 to Latin Metals, assume payments of US $400,000 to the Underlying Vendor (as defined below), complete exploration work commitments, and prepare and deliver to Latin Metals a report prepared in accordance with Form 43-101F1 on the Properties (the “ Technical Report ”), addressed to Latin Metals and containing a mineral resource estimate on the Projects. Irrevocable work commitments to be completed on or before April 30, 2026, are 50-line km of IP profiling, 150-line km of gradient array IP, and 1,500 meters of drilling. A total of 28,000m of drilling must be completed prior to the exercise of the Option. The Projects are currently subject to an underlying purchase agreement (see news release dated June 25, 2025) between Latin Metals and Tres Cerros Exploraciones S.R.L. (the “ Underlying Vendor ”). The Underlying Vendor retains a 0.75% NSR royalty, 0.5% of which can be purchased for US $1,000,000, which cost will be assumed by Daura. Top Up Right Concurrently with the exercise of the Option, Daura may give notice to Latin Metals of its intention to increase its interest in the Projects to 80% (the “ Top-Up Right ”). To exercise the Top-Up Right, Daura must make cash payments to Latin Metals based on the measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources included in the mineral resource estimate set out in the Technical Report, as follows: US$7.00 per gold equivalent ounce of measured and indicated resources; and US$5.00 per gold equivalent ounce of inferred resources, Table 1: Option Terms
