News Release
Daura Gold Provides an Update on Drilling at Cerro Bayo & AI-Supported Analytics for Drill Targeting

April 1, 2026

April 1, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV:DGC, OTCQB: DGCOF) (the “Company” or “Daura”) is pleased to provide an update on 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 hosts major mines like Newmont's Cerro Negro and Hochschild's San Jose.


Daura has completed 14 holes across 10 drill targets and assays are pending. The Company has also commenced drilling on 3 step-back holes at the Ingrid, Elena and Eugenia target areas. The results from the first 14 holes are pending and the Company will publish the data when the assays are received in the next 4-6 weeks.


Stuart Mills, VP of Exploration for Daura, commented, "We are pleased with the progress of our drilling program so far, having completed 14 holes across 10 targets. Stepping back from holes 5, 12 & 14 is expected to provide greater clarity on the broader system and help guide our next phase of drilling. We look forward to reporting results as they become available. In parallel, Geomorphic's AI platform continues to enhance our targeting by optimizing drill placement through real-time data integration and vectoring."


The Company is using Geomorphic AI's proprietary artificial intelligence (AI)-driven geoscience platform. Geomorphic provides remote geological and data science support for Daura's ongoing drill program at Cerro Bayo, including geochemical baseline analysis, pathfinder modelling, spatial vectoring, target ranking, and real-time drill result integration. The work is powered by proprietary AI geology agents that streamline multi-element statistics, anomaly detection, and target scoring. As new assay data arrives, the agents cross-validate results against the surface geochemistry model, flag discrepancies, and update targeting recommendations. Geomorphic has also built custom field tooling, including assay bulletins, and a scored blind-target catalog to help Daura prioritize drill collar placements. The continuous feedback loop between field results and model refinement sharpens targeting with every hole drilled.

Daura Gold Expands Land Position With Strategic Claim North of the Tayacoto Project

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 ).

Daura Gold Reports High-Grade Results From Antonella Infill Sampling of Historic Drill Core: Upgrading Significant Intercepts, Including: 22.4m at 4.36 g/t Au & 23 g/t Ag From 36.8m

February 23, 2026
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.
