Daura samples 22.84 g/t Au, 102 g/t Ag at Antonella

Executive Summary

• Daura Gold Corp. announced high-grade surface sampling results from its flagship Antonella project in Ancash, Peru, specifically targeting the Antonella Main Zone and the newly discovered Antonella North zone.
• Significant high-grade intercepts were reported, including 22.84 g/t Au and 102 g/t Ag from the Main Zone, and 7.98 g/t Au and 189 g/t Ag from Antonella North.
• The company identified two distinct structural corridors over five km long, representing northwest-trending compressional strike-slip duplex fault arrays reactivated as extensional mineralizing systems.

Key Details

• Antonella Main Zone Sampling:
  • 13 rock chip samples collected.
  • Top result: 22.84 g/t Au and 102 g/t Ag.
  • Additional high-grade samples: 7.83 g/t Au and 57.1 g/t Ag; 1.26 g/t Au and 24.8 g/t Ag.
  • Mineralization associated with vein-type structures ranging from 0.3 to 1.0 m widths trending 095 degrees, outcropping over an approximate length of 10 m.
• Antonella North Sampling:
  • Located approximately 1 km north of the Antonella Main Zone.
  • 11 rock chip samples collected.
  • Top result: 7.98 g/t Au and 189 g/t Ag.
  • Additional high-grade sample: 3.95 g/t Au and 110 g/t Ag.
  • Northern sector: Veins trending 015 degrees, outcropping over ~60 m with high gold and silver grades.
  • Southern sector: Veins trending 348 degrees, outcropping over ~30 m with high gold and silver grades.
  • Vein widths range from 0.3 to 1.0 m.
• Geological Context:
  • The vein system is hosted in Tertiary volcanic rocks of the Calipuy Group.
  • Controlled by northwest-southeast-trending faults with silicification and argillic alteration halos up to 40 m wide.
  • Satellite imagery identified two structural corridors (Antonella and Antonella North) over 5 km long, representing compressional strike-slip duplex fault arrays reactivated as extensional mineralizing systems associated with bonanza-grade precious metal mineralization.
• Next Steps:
  • Continued geological mapping and sampling contingent on community permission.
  • Planned geophysical surveys using magnetometry to define structures.
  • Structural targeting and satellite alteration mapping currently in progress to aid in detailed exploration and ground truthing.
• Technical & QA/QC:
  • Samples analyzed at Actlabs Skyline Peru (fire assay for gold, ICP-OES for multielement).
  • QA/QC program included 10% quality control materials (duplicates, blanks, CRMs).
  • Results reviewed by Qualified Person (QP) Stuart Mills, VP of Exploration.

Notable Quotes

• "Mapping and sampling at Antonella and Antonella North continues to deliver high-grade assays, expanding the footprint of the project at surface," said Mark Sumner, chief executive officer of Daura. "We will continue working to establish the critical foundations of community engagement, regulatory approvals and exploration-driven knowledge to drive momentum for our flagship project."
