Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 20, 2026) - Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV: DGC) ("Daura" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of 27 line-kilometers of Induced Polarization (IP) profiling at the Cerro Bayo Gold–Silver Project ("Cerro Bayo" or the "Project"), located in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.

The completed IP program provides a robust geophysical framework that will be used to define and prioritize drill targets for the Company's planned Phase 1 drilling program totaling approximately 1,500 meters.

Key Project Highlights Include:

• Completion of seven IP profiles across the project for an aggregated 27 line-kilometers of pole-dipole survey

• The 7 profiles were sited over previously identified drill target areas to define targets for the Phase 1 drill program, slated to begin in mid-February

• The IP responses aided in the delineation of structurally controlled zones interpreted to represent silicified veins and mineralizing conduits

Mark Sumner, CEO of Daura Gold commented: "The completion of seven Pole–Dipole IP survey lines marks an important milestone for Daura, providing valuable insight into the geometry and extent of potential mineralization across 15 priority targets within both our northern and southern target areas. The results have clearly delineated structurally controlled zones, which we interpret as potential mineralizing conduits and feeder structures. This data will play a key role in refining and prioritizing drill targets ahead of our planned Phase 1 drill program."

Cerro Bayo: Electrical Induced Polarization (IP) Surveys and Preparation for Drilling:

A Pole–Dipole IP profiling program has been completed, consisting of four lines in the southeastern area and three additional, shorter lines in the northwestern area, for a total of approximately 27 line-kilometers. 15 drill targets were generated from the integration of previous geochemical sampling and a Previous Gradient Array IP survey covering the southern area of the license area.

A Phase 1 program of 22 diamond drill holes for approximately 1,500m aims to test the 15 targets for approximately 1,500m diamond drilling. In the northern target area, three IP profile lines were completed and 8 drill targets have been identified, of which 3 targets will be tested with 8 diamond drill holes for 500m. In the southern area 7 drill targets will be tested with 14 drill holes for 1,000m of diamond drilling.

Next Steps

In parallel with the Q1, 2026 drill program, Daura has initiated a regional Gradient Array IP survey in the northern part of the license area. Results from this work will be integrated with existing geological and geochemical datasets to support the second phase of the drill program.
