Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 11, 2025) - Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV: DGC) ("Daura" or the "Company") is pleased to announce high-grade surface sampling results from its 100% owned Tayacoto Project ("Tayacoto" or the "Project"), located 14.5km northeast of the Company's flagship Antonella Project in Ancash, Peru. The surface sampling confirms strong precious metal mineralization with associated copper, zinc, and lead, situated approximately 2.5km east of Highlander Silver Corp.'s Daniela project.

Tayacoto lies within a prolific metallogenic belt that hosts world-class deposits such as Antamina and Barrick's past-producing Pierina gold mine. The mineralization at Tayacoto is hosted in Tertiary volcanic rocks of the Calipuy Group and is controlled by NW-SE-trending faults, exhibiting silicification, and argillic alteration.

Highlights of the Sampling Program:

  • 22 rock chip samples collected across the project.
  • 8 samples exceeding 45 g/t Ag, with values up to 1,249 g/t Ag.
  • 2 samples showing 6.1 g/t Au, and 3.3 g/t Au.
  • Copper values as high as 2.9% Cu.
  • Standout samples include:
    • 6.1 g/t Au, 1,153 g/t Ag, 0.4% Cu, >14% Pb;
    • 3.3 g/t Au, 1,249 g/t Ag; 0.9% Cu, >24.6% Pb;
    • 0.2 g/t Au, 101 g/t Ag, 0.6% Pb.
    • 63.9 g/t Ag, 2.6% Cu, 6% Pb; 2.6% Zn;
    • 71.7 g/t Ag, 2.9% Cu, 8.8% Pb, 2.3% Zn;
    • 78.4 g/t Ag, 1.3% Cu, 3.7% Pb, 0.4% Zn; and
    • 101 g/t Ag, 0.6% Pb, 01% Zn

The mineralization at the Tayacoto Project is related to an epithermal vein system, with vein widths ranging from 0.2 m to 1 m. The veins show iron oxides forming gossan in some areas, while in others, there are zones of argillic alteration and silicification. The surface sampling confirms strong precious metal mineralization with associated copper, zinc and lead.

"The results from Tayacoto reinforce the strength of Daura's exploration portfolio and highlight the discovery potential in this district," said Mark Sumner, CEO of Daura. "The high grades showing at surface at Tayacoto immediately raise the profile of this project for Daura. Situated only 14.5km from our flagship Antonella project, Tayacoto represents another opportunity for Daura to create significant value through disciplined and systematic exploration in one of the most exciting gold-silver districts in Peru."

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 and were found to be within acceptable limits.
