DAURA GOLD EXPANDS ANTONELLA-LIBELULAS PROJECT IN PERU
Daura Gold Corp. has strategically expanded the company's flagship Antonella-Libelulas project in Ancash, Peru, by staking two new claims in the district --Libelulas 25 and Libelulas 26 -- further expanding its footprint by 2,000 hectares.
The newly staked Libelulas 25 and Libelulas 26 concessions expand Daura's land position east of the Antonella target by approximately 2,000 hectares. The Antonella-Libelulas project now covers approximately 10,600 hectares in the Ancash region of Peru, and hosts several priority exploration targets, including Antonella, Antonella North and Libelulas.
The Antonella-Libelulas project forms part of Daura's broader Ancash land package, which spans more than 18,000 hectares and also includes the Tayacoto and Yanamina projects.
"This was an excellent opportunity for Daura to meaningfully expand our land position in this highly prospective district," stated Mark Sumner, chairman and chief executive officer of Daura Gold. "The new concessions strengthens our control over the eastern extension of the key mineralized structural corridor at Libelulas. Located approximately six km from Highlander Silver's Bonita target and 15 km southwest of Barrick's past-producing Pierina mine, these claims further position Daura within one of Peru's most prolific gold-silver districts. With multiple targets emerging and positive community engagement, we are actively advancing the project with the goal of commencing drilling at Antonella at the earliest opportunity."
The new Libelulas 25 and Libelulas 26 claims were acquired through direct application with Ingemmet, Peru's mining concession authority.
