DAURA GOLD ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL HIGH-GRADE SURFACE SAMPLING RESULTS FROM VEIN EXTENSIONS NORTH OF ANTONELLA MAIN PROJECT ZONE: 55.83 G/T AU & 220 G/T AG; 12.33 G/T AU & 99.1 G/T AG

Daura Gold Corp. has released further high-grade surface sampling results from the previously announced vein extensions in the northern zone of the company's flagship Antonella project in Ancash, Peru.

Antonella is adjacent to Highlander Silver Corp.'s Bonita project, 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 northwest-southeast-trending faults, with silicification and argillic alteration halos up to 40 metres wide.

"These additional high-grade results from the northern vein extensions at Antonella, build on our recent discoveries and underscore the expanding mineralization footprint of the Antonella project," said Mark Sumner, chief executive officer of Daura. "The northern veins at Antonella clearly warrant more attention as we work towards tying these zones together and advance SE towards Highlander's Bonita project."

Highlights of the recent sampling program:

• 18 rock chip samples were collected approximately one kilometre north of the Antonella main zone;
• Standout samples of:
  • 55.83 grams per tonne Au (gold) and 220 g/t Ag (silver);
  • 12.33 g/t Au and 99.1 g/t Ag.
• Additional high-grade gold samples include:
  • 2.81 g/t Au and 17.5 g/t Ag;
  • 1.36 g/t Au and eight g/t Ag.

The mineralization north of Antonella is associated with vein-type structures ranging from 0.3 to 1.0 m widths trending:

• North 15 degrees in the northern sector, where they outcrop over an approximate length of 90 m and contain high gold and silver grades;
• North 348 degrees in the southern sector, where the vein widths outcrops over a length of approximately 150 m and the mineralization is characterized by high gold and silver grades with the presence of lead, zinc and copper;
• North 300 degrees in the northeastern area, where the vein-type structures outcrop over approximately 120 m.

Next steps

Daura will continue geological mapping and sampling across the Antonella concessions, 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 arm's-length laboratory, for preparation and analysis. The entire sample was dried and crushed to 75 per cent passing two millimetres, with splits pulverized to 95 per cent passing 106 micrometres.

Gold was analyzed by 30-gram charge fire assay, with an atomic adsorption finish. Multielement analysis was carried out on a four-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 (quality assurance/quality control) program included the submission of 10-per-cent 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 are selective by nature and not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the project.
