December 2, 2025 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV:DGC) (the “Company” or “Daura”) is pleased to announce high-grade surface sampling results and the delineation of vein extensions in the northern zone of the Company’s flagship 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 to the north of the main project zone.
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:
- 31 rock chip samples were collected approximately 1km north of Antonella vein system with mineralization of Au and Ag.
- Standout samples of
- 57.34 g/t Au & 125 g/t Ag; and
- 24.63 g/t Au & 128 g/t Ag.
- Additional high grade gold samples include:
- 6.52 g/t Au & 32.6 g/t Ag;
- 3.47 g/t Au & 32 g/t Ag; and
- 1.69 g/t Au & 21 g/t Ag.
"Assays from Antonella continue to deliver excellent results, as we uncover new zones of high-grade gold and silver mineralization,” said Mark Sumner, CEO of Daura.
“This discovery of high-grade gold and silver, north of our main project zone, further confirms the potential at Antonella. We remain excited to advance southeast toward Highlander's Bonita project while simultaneously prioritizing additional work on the highly promising veins identified in the north as exploration progresses."
Next Steps
Daura will continue geological mapping and sampling across the Antonella concessions, including northern (Estrella 02-19) and southern (Estrella 03-19) blocks, when the community's permission is obtained. Geophysical surveys using magnetometry are planned to further define structures associated with mineralization. The results will guide drill target definition for upcoming exploration programs.
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 grab samples disclosed are selected samples and may not represent true underlying mineralization.
