Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2025) - Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV: DAU) ("Daura" or the "Company") is pleased to announce high-grade surface sampling results and the delineation of vein extensions at the Antonella Project ("Antonella" or the "Project") in Ancash, Peru. The work confirms strong gold and silver mineralization and supports the continuity of Antonella's vein system toward Highlander Silver Corp's adjacent Bonita Project, reinforcing the potential for a unified mineralized corridor.
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 NW-SE trending faults, with silicification and argillic alteration halos up to 40 meters wide.
Highlights of the Sampling Program:
- 47 rock chip samples collected across the Antonella vein system and southwest extensions.
19 samples exceeding 100 g/t Ag, with values up to 650 g/t Ag.
6 samples exceeding 10 g/t Au, with grades up to 22.6g/t Au.
- Standout samples include:
- 22.6 g/t Au & 101 g/t Ag;
- 17.65 g/t Au & 348 g/t Ag; and
- 16.05 g/t Au & 320 g/t Ag.
- Mapping confirmed mineralized veins extending southwest toward Highlander Silver's Bonita Project.
"The mapping and sampling confirm the extension of high-grade veins southwest toward Bonita, solidifying our view of a continuous mineralized system," said Martin Zegarra Diaz, lead geologist on the Project. "These results provide a strong foundation for defining drill targets in this emerging district."

Key veins mapped at surface include:
Esperanza Vein: Exposed over approximately 300 meters with an average thickness of 0.8 meters, narrowing to 0.2-0.3 meters at the northwest and southeast ends.
Romina Vein: Exposed over approximately 350 meters with an average thickness of 0.5-0.8 meters, narrowing to 0.2 meters toward the northwest.

Between these structures, secondary veins and branches (0.05-0.3 meters thick) have been identified, with minor mineralized features extending southwest, suggesting further continuity in that direction.
These results confirm epithermal-style mineralization rich in Ag, Au, Pb, and Cu, associated with the extension of the Antonella vein system toward the southwest.
Antonella lies approximately 700 meters northeast of Highlander Silver's Bonita Project, within the same structural corridor. Daura's recent sampling correlates strongly with Highlander's July 2025 Bonita drill results, including broad high-grade intercepts such as 23.1 m grading 4.92 g/t Au and 16.56 g/t Ag (BOD-008). Historical drilling at Antonella also returned notable results, including 17.5 m grading 3.27 g/t Au and 22.6 g/t Ag (CBD11004B). These results collectively reinforce the potential for a continuous high-grade vein system across the district.

- 0.95m at 1.7 g/t Au and 186 g/t Ag (from 122.1)
Next Steps
Daura will continue geological mapping and sampling across the Antonella concessions, including northern (Estrella 02-19) and southern (Estrella 03-19) blocks. Geophysical surveys using drone-assisted magnetometry are planned to further define structures associated with mineralization. The results will guide drill target definition for upcoming exploration programs.
