DAURA GOLD EXPANDS LAND POSITION WITH STRATEGIC CLAIM NORTH OF THE TAYACOTO PROJECT
Daura Gold Corp. has expanded the land package of the 100-per-cent-owned Tayacoto project, located in Peru, by staking the 1,000-hectare Agustina concession immediately north of Tayacoto.
This strategic acquisition consolidates the company's control over the northern extension of the interpreted structural corridor that hosts mineralization within Tayacoto. The concession was acquired by direct application through Ingemmet, Peru's state agency for mining concessions.
Mark Sumner, Daura's chief executive officer, commented: "The addition of the Agustina concession represents an important step in consolidating the broader Tayacoto district. Tayacoto hosts high-grade silver-gold-copper-lead vein mineralization outboard of Daura's principal porphyry-type exploration targeting. The addition of Agustina strengthens our control in the area, providing an opportunity to expand both the known polymetallic vein systems and evaluate the porphyry potential in a mineralizing district containing world-class deposits that fit within an intrusion-centred exploration model."
The concession lies within a region previously termed the Pucajirca volcanic centre. This volcanic centre contains a number of porphyry-type prospects hosted within the Calipuy volcanic group, including Highlander Silver Corp.'s Cerro Colorado and Daniela projects.
Previously reported reconnaissance mapping and sampling within the Tayacoto concession returned high-grade surface sampling results, including 6.1 grams per tonne gold, 1,153 grams per tonne silver, 0.4 per cent copper and greater than 14 per cent lead (see Daura's news release dated Nov. 11, 2025). These results confirm strong silver-lead mineralization with subordinate copper, zinc and gold. This reported sampling is situated approximately 2.5 kilometres east of Highlander Silver Corp.'s Daniela project and 1.5 kilometres west of Daura's porphyry-type exploration target within the Tayacoto concession. The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource at Tayacoto, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
The company is currently undertaking a remote sensing targeting program integrating surface sampling results, Aster-derived hydrothermal alteration mapping and detailed structural targeting analysis.
