Daura Gold Announces Additional High-Grade Surface Sampling Results from Vein Extensions North of Antonella Main Project Zone: 55.83 g/t Au & 220 g/t Ag; 12.33 g/t Au & 99.1 g/t Ag
Daura Gold Announces Additional High-Grade
Surface Sampling Results from Vein
Extensions North of Antonella Main Project
Zone: 55.83 g/t Au & 220 g/t Ag; 12.33 g/t Au &
99.1 g/t Ag
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 6, 2026) - Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV: DGC)
("Daura" or the "Company") is pleased to announce further high-grade surface sampling results from the
previously announced vein extensions in the northern zone of the Company's flagship Antonella Project
("Antonella" or the "Project") in Ancash, Peru.
Antonella is adjacent to Highlander Silver Corp's Bonita Project, 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 NW-SE
trending faults, with silicification and argillic alteration halos up to 40 meters wide.
"These additional high-grade results from the northern vein extensions at Antonella, build on our
recent discoveries and underscore the expanding mineralization footprint of the Antonella Project,"
said Mark Sumner, CEO of Daura.
"The northern veins at Antonella clearly warrant more attention as
we work towards tying these zones together and advance SE towards Highlander's Bonita project."
Highlights of the Recent Sampling Program:
18 rock chip samples were collected approximately 1km north of the Antonella main zone.
Standout samples of
55.83 g/t Au & 220 g/t Ag; and
12.33 g/t Au & 99.1 g/t Ag.
Additional high grade gold samples include:
2.81 g/t Au & 17.5 g/t Ag; and
1.36 g/t Au & 8 g/t Ag.
Figure 1(below) shows the recent sampling results with respect to previous sampling at Antonella North,
together with highlighted sampling from Antonella Main.

The mineralization north of Antonella is associated with vein-type structures ranging from 0.3 to 1.0 m
widths trending:
N15° in the northern sector, where they outcrop over an approximate length of 90 m and contain
high gold and silver grades;
N348° in the southern sector, where the vein widths outcrops over a length of approximately 150 m
and the mineralization is characterized by high gold and silver grades with the presence of lead,
zinc, and copper; and
N300° in the northeastern area, where the vein-type structures outcrop over approximately 120 m.

Next Steps
Daura will continue geological mapping and sampling across the Antonella concessions, 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 upcoming
exploration programs.

Technical Information and Quality Control / Quality Assurance
Grab samples were collected by the Company's geologists and the individual samples, 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 arms-length laboratory, for preparation and analysis. The entire
sample was dried and crushed to 75% passing 2mm, with splits pulverized to 95% passing 106
microns.
Gold was analyzed by 30g charge Fire Assay, with an Atomic Adsorption finish. Multi-element analysis
was carried out on a 4-acid digest aliquot by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission
Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and over-range samples were subsequently determined by appropriate single
element analyses, in accordance with Actlabs standard procedures.
The internal QA/QC program included the submission of 10% quality control materials including field
duplicates, blanks and Certified Reference Material (CRM) 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 that grab samples are selective by nature and not necessarily indicative of
similar mineralization on the Project.
