Executive Summary

  • Daura Gold Corp. announced high-grade surface sampling results and vein extensions located approximately one kilometer north of the main Antonella project zone in Ancash, Peru.
  • The sampling program identified significant gold and silver mineralization, confirming the continuity of the vein system to the north and highlighting the exploration potential of the Antonella project.
  • The company plans to continue geological mapping, sampling, and geophysical surveys to define drill targets, pending community permission.

Key Details

  • Sampling Program: 31 rock chip samples were collected approximately one kilometer north of the Antonella vein system.
  • Standout High-Grade Samples:
    • 57.34 g/t Au and 125 g/t Ag
    • 24.63 g/t Au and 128 g/t Ag
  • Additional High-Grade Samples:
    • 6.52 g/t Au and 32.6 g/t Ag
    • 3.47 g/t Au and 32 g/t Ag
    • 1.69 g/t Au and 21 g/t Ag
  • 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 meters wide.
  • Next Steps:
    • Continue geological mapping and sampling across Antonella concessions, specifically the northern (Estrella 02-19) and southern (Estrella 03-19) blocks.
    • Conduct geophysical surveys using magnetometry to define structures associated with mineralization.
    • Use results to guide drill target definition for upcoming exploration programs.
    • Progress is contingent upon obtaining community permission.
  • Laboratory and QA/QC:
    • Samples were analyzed at Actlabs Skyline Peru.
    • Gold analyzed by 30-gram charge fire assay with atomic absorption finish.
    • Multielement analysis via inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES).
    • QA/QC included 10% quality control materials (field duplicates, blanks, certified reference materials); results were within acceptable limits.
  • Qualified Person: Stuart Mills, Vice-President of Exploration, reviewed and approved the technical information.

Notable Quotes

  • "Assays from Antonella continue to deliver excellent results as we uncover new zones of high-grade gold and silver mineralization," said Mark Sumner, chief executive officer 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."
