DAURA GOLD ANNOUNCES HIGH-GRADE SURFACE SAMPLING RESULTS AND VEIN EXTENSIONS NORTH OF ANTONELLA MAIN PROJECT ZONE: 57.34 G/T AU & 125 G/T AG; 24.63 G/T AU & 128 G/T AG

Daura Gold Corp. has released high-grade surface sampling results and the delineation of vein extensions in the northern zone of the company's flagship Antonella project in Ancash, Peru. The work confirms strong gold and silver mineralization, and supports the continuity of Antonella's vein system to the north of the main project zone.

Antonella is 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.

Highlights of the sampling program:

• 31 rock chip samples were collected approximately one kilometre north of Antonella vein system with mineralization of gold and silver;
• Standout samples of:
  • 57.34 grams per tonne Au and 125 g/t Ag; and
  • 24.63 g/t Au and 128 g/t Ag;
• Additional high-grade gold samples include:
  • 6.52 g/t Au and 32.6 g/t Ag;
  • 3.47 g/t Au and 32 g/t Ag; and
  • 1.69 g/t Au and 21 g/t Ag.

"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."

Next steps

Daura will continue geological mapping and sampling across the Antonella concessions, including northern (Estrella 02-19) and southern (Estrella 03-19) blocks, 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 coming exploration programs.

Technical information and quality control/quality assurance

Grab samples were collected by the company's geologists, and the individual samples were 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 microns.

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, and overrange samples were subsequently determined by appropriate single element analyses in accordance with Actlabs standard procedures.

The internal quality assurance/quality control program included the submission of 10-per-cent quality control materials including field duplicates, blanks and certified reference material 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 disclosed are selected samples and may not represent true underlying mineralization.
