Daura Gold Unveils Promising Sampling Results from Antonella Project

Daura Gold Corp. has reported significant findings from its exploration efforts at the Antonella Project in Ancash, Peru. On December 2, 2025, the company announced high-grade surface sampling results that indicate strong gold and silver mineralization in the northern zone of the project. This discovery supports the continuation of the vein system northward from the main project area.

The Antonella Project is situated in a region known for its rich mineral deposits, including notable neighboring sites like the Antamina and the former Pierina gold mine operated by Barrick. The project features a vein system located within tertiary volcanic rocks of the Calipuy Group and is influenced by northwest-southeast trending faults. Notably, areas of silicification and argillic alteration extend up to 40 meters wide.

Sampling Highlights

In a recent sampling program, Daura Gold collected 31 rock chip samples approximately one kilometer north of the existing Antonella vein system. The standout results include values of 57.34 g/t Au and 125 g/t Ag, as well as 24.63 g/t Au and 128 g/t Ag. Additional notable samples recorded include 6.52 g/t Au with 32.6 g/t Ag, 3.47 g/t Au with 32 g/t Ag, and 1.69 g/t Au with 21 g/t Ag.

Mark Sumner, CEO of Daura Gold, expressed enthusiasm over the results, stating, “Assays from Antonella continue to deliver excellent results, as we uncover new zones of high-grade gold and silver mineralization. This discovery of high-grade gold and silver north of our main project zone further confirms the potential at Antonella.” He added that the company aims to advance toward Highlander’s Bonita project while prioritizing work on the promising veins identified in the north.

Next Steps for Exploration

Daura Gold plans to continue geological mapping and sampling throughout the Antonella concessions, which include northern (Estrella 02-19) and southern (Estrella 03-19) blocks, contingent upon obtaining permission from the local community. The company also intends to conduct geophysical surveys utilizing magnetometry to better define structures linked to mineralization, which will aid in outlining drill targets for future exploration initiatives.

Quality Control Measures

The sampling process involved the collection of grab samples by the company’s geologists, who bagged and sealed the samples under direct supervision before sending them to Actlabs Skyline Peru for preparation and analysis. The samples underwent thorough testing, with gold analyzed through a 30-gram fire assay and multi-element analysis conducted via Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). A robust internal quality control program included the submission of control materials, and results were deemed acceptable by Daura’s technical team, led by Martin Zegarra.

Cautionary Notes

Readers are advised that grab samples, while promising, are selected samples and may not fully represent the overall mineralization. The company’s qualified person, Stuart Mills, who serves as the Vice President of Exploration, has reviewed the scientific and technical information in this release and approved its content.
