Daura Gold Announces High Grade Surface Sampling Results at Tayacoto Project: 6.1 g/t Au and 1,153 g/t Ag; 3.3 g/t Au and 1,249 g/t Ag

Executive Summary

• Daura Gold Corp. reported high‑grade surface sampling results from its 100% owned Tayacoto Project in Ancash, Peru, highlighting significant silver (up to 1,249 g/t Ag) and gold (up to 6.1 g/t Au) grades along with notable copper, lead, and zinc values.
• The results reinforce the exploration potential of the Tayacoto area, situated only 14.5 km from Daura’s flagship Antonella Project, and suggest a strong epithermal vein system with mineralization comparable to world‑class districts nearby.
• The company cautions that the grab samples are selective and may not represent true underlying mineralization, but the data provide a compelling basis for further systematic exploration.

Key Details

• Sampling Program: 22 rock chip samples collected across the Tayacoto Project.
• Top Silver Grades: 8 samples > 45 g/t Ag; highest values of 1,249 g/t Ag and 1,153 g/t Ag.
• Gold Grades: 2 samples with 6.1 g/t Au; 3.3 g/t Au reported in separate sample.
• Base Metal Highlights: Copper up to 2.9 % Cu; Lead up to > 24.6 % Pb; Zinc up to 2.3 % Zn in various samples.
• Representative High‑Grade Samples:
• 6.1 g/t Au, 1,153 g/t Ag, 0.4 % Cu, >14 % Pb
• 3.3 g/t Au, 1,249 g/t Ag, 0.9 % Cu, >24.6 % Pb
• 0.2 g/t Au, 101 g/t Ag, 0.6 % Pb
• 63.9 g/t Ag, 2.6 % Cu, 6 % Pb, 2.6 % Zn
• 71.7 g/t Ag, 2.9 % Cu, 8.8 % Pb, 2.3 % Zn
• 78.4 g/t Ag, 1.3 % Cu, 3.7 % Pb, 0.4 % Zn
• 101 g/t Ag, 0.6 % Pb, 0.1 % Zn
• Vein Characteristics: Epithermal vein widths 0.2–1 m; mineralization hosted in Tertiary volcanic rocks of the Calipuy Group, controlled by NW‑SE trending faults with silicification and argillic alteration.
• Geological Context: Located within a prolific metallogenic belt that hosts Antamina and Barrick’s former Pierina gold mine. Proximity to Highlander Silver Corp.’s Daniela project.
• Quality Assurance/Control: Samples processed by Actlabs Skyline Peru; fire assay for Au, ICP‑OES for multi‑elements; 10 % QA/QC materials (duplicates, blanks, CRMs) within acceptable limits.
• Qualified Person: Stuart Mills, QP (Vice President of Exploration), reviewed and approved the technical information per NI 43‑101.

Notable Quotes

“The results from Tayacoto reinforce the strength of Daura's exploration portfolio and highlight the discovery potential in this district,” said Mark Sumner, CEO of Daura.
“The high grades showing at surface at Tayacoto immediately raise the profile of this project for Daura… another opportunity … to create significant value through disciplined and systematic exploration.”
