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.

  • 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.

Daura Gold Announces Exploration Program at Antonella Project

August 5, 2025
August 5, 2025 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp. (formerly Daura Capital Corp.) (TSXV:DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura” ), through its subsidiary Estrella Gold S.A.C. in Peru is pleased to announce that it has obtained permits to proceed with its planned exploration program at its flagship Antonella, located in the Ancash Department, bordering the San Luis gold project. The Company will proceed with an extensive geological mapping, rock sampling and geophysical survey within the Antonella concession areas, aimed at assessing and enhancing the understanding of the mineralization and economic potential within these key exploration sites. Antonella Exploration Program Daura’s flagship property spans 900 hectares, hosting the Antonella Target. Historical information from past exploration, including sampling and diamond drilling, has confirmed the continuity of gold and silver veins. Additionally, base metals such as copper, lead, and zinc have been identified at depth, highlighting the area's multi-metal potential. The Antonella Project is situated approximately 5.5 kilometers southwest of the San Luis Project and displays gold-silver vein-type mineralization, accompanied by base metals such as copper and zinc. Diamond drilling has confirmed the continuity of mineralization at depth. Located 2.2 kilometers southeast of Antonella, the Bonita Project also hosts gold-silver vein mineralization, which is interpreted to be a possible southeastern extension of the Antonella vein system. The Antonella and Bonita projects are structurally controlled by NW-SE-trending faults that correspond to first-order structures of the Andean orogenic belt. These major fault systems have acted as primary conduits for hydrothermal fluid flow. Subsequent extensional deformation, related to differential stress regimes within the Andean system, has generated a network of second-order strike-slip faults with predominantly E-W and NE-SW orientations. These secondary structures likely acted as dilation zones, enhancing permeability and facilitating mineral deposition. The Antonella and Bonita vein systems exhibit a consistent Andean structural orientation (NW-SE) and are interpreted as segments of a single, laterally continuous epithermal system. Structural and lithological continuity, as well as comparable mineralogical and geochemical characteristics, support this interpretation. Historical surface exploration in the Antonella area has included mapping and the collection of 397 rock chip and channel samples along exposed ridge crests. Geochemical assays returned anomalous to high grades, with peak concentrations up to 155 g/t Au and 714 g/t Ag, indicating a robust epithermal signature.

Daura Gold Closes the Acquisition of the Yanamina Epithermal Gold-Silver Project in Ancash Peru

July 29, 2025
July 29, 2025 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV: DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura” ) is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated June 2, 2025, it has completed the acquisition Yanamina gold-silver project (the “ Yanamina Project ”) from EVR Resources Limited (“ EVR ”). The Yanamina Project is located in the Ancash Department of central Peru, 40km north of the Daura’s Antonella and Highlander Silver’s bonanza grade San Luis gold-silver project. Highlights The Yanamina Project has a historic mineral resource of 83,100 (oz) of gold (Au) at 1.65 g/t Au indicated and 123,700 oz of Au at 1.19 g/t Au inferred. The Company plans to undertake work to verify and update the historical estimate as a priority. (See “Yanamina Historical Mineral Resource” below for further details.) Exploration upside and multiple drill targets on the property given limited and focused historical drilling. Open extensions to resources at depth and lateral extensions and significant faulted extension target at depth. Previous drilling identified a high-grade core zone locally grading at 5 g/t Au over 5 meters within a mineralized envelope averaging 2.5 g/t Au over intervals from 20-30 meters. Daura has the opportunity to update the Yanamina historical resource estimate and bring a current resource estimate into Daura’s resource profile. 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 north of the bonanza grade San Luis Gold Project owned by Highlander Silver. 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: “Closing the acquisition of the Yanamina Gold-Silver Project is a significant step for Daura Gold as we advance our strategy of building a high-quality portfolio in Peru’s most prolific mining districts. Yanamina not only adds an established historical resource to our asset base but also offers near-term exploration potential with multiple open targets. Its proximity to major past-producing and active mines like Pierina and Antamina underscores the strategic value of this acquisition. With this addition, we are well-positioned to continue our growth and unlock further value for our shareholders.” Figure 1. Below represents Daura’s land package

Daura Gold Expands Land Position with Agreement to Acquire Strategic Claims Adjacent to Antonella and Bonita Projects

July 16, 2025
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.
