Posted on behalf of Daura Gold - With gold near US$4,120/oz and silver near US$61/oz, DGC.v, DGCOF has been clear about where the leverage now points: Peru's 100%-owned Antonella.
The priority case is straightforward. Antonella is 100%-owned with no insider royalties, roughly 10,600 ha in Ancash region, about 15 km from Barrick's past-producing Pierina mine (district context, not ownership). Surface sampling returned 22.84 g/t gold plus 102 g/t silver at the main zone, and 7.98 g/t gold plus 189 g/t silver at Antonella North (surface grab samples, not intercepts). Fewer than 30% of the veins have been drill tested, with mineralization from surface to about 60 m and open at depth.
The gating item is a long-term community access agreement, which management expects to secure before drilling. Once in hand, the plan runs a high-resolution drone magnetic survey, then geophysics and drill targeting, then a rig for roughly 2,000 to 3,000 m, weather and permitting dependent.
In Argentina, Cerro Bayo Phase 2 step-out drilling plus the first-ever drill test at La Flora are lined up for Q3 2026.
For the Antonella surface figures, see the May 13, 2026 news release.

The project comprises a large land package covering multiple mineral concessions and hosts numerous gold-silver bearing structures distributed across a district-scale hydrothermal system.Mineralization is associated with structurally controlled epithermal veins, silicified breccias, and hydrothermal alteration zones developed within Jurassic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. Surface sampling has identified multiple gold and silver anomalies, with mineralized structures traced over significant strike lengths and remaining open for further exploration.The La Flora Project benefits from excellent infrastructure and is located approximately 16 kilometres from the Cerro Bayo Project, both hosting multiple epithermal vein targets prospective for high-grade gold and silver mineralization. Daura has the option to earn up to an 80% interest in the La Flora and Cerro Bayo Projects (collectively, the "Projects") pursuant to its option agreement with Latin Metals Inc. (TSXV: LMS) (OTCQB: LMSQF).Deseado Massif: A World-Class Gold-Silver DistrictThe Projects are located within the Deseado Massif, a globally recognized precious metals district that has produced more than 20 million ounces of gold and 600 million ounces of silver since 1990. The region hosts several major mines and deposits, including Newmont's Cerro Negro and Hochschild Mining's San José operations.Technical Information and Quality Control / Quality AssuranceGrab 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 Alex Stewart International Argentina S.A., Perito Moreno, Santa Cruz, Argentina, 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 finishand over-range samples were subsequently determined by appropriate single element analyses, in accordance with Alex Stewart's standard procedures.The internal quality assurance and quality control (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 Geodex Consultants Ltd., a third-party independent consultancy, and were found to be within acceptable limits before being uploaded into Datashed by Geomax Ltd., an independent arms-length database manager.

Daura Gold (C$22.5M MCAP): Two High-Grade Gold-Silver Shots on Goal with 2026 Drilling Catalysts in Peru & Argentina
Posted on behalf of Daura Gold Corp.- Investor Insights: Daura Gold Corp.
High-Grade Gold & Silver Exploration Across Peru and Argentina
A recent Resource Talks interview with Daura Gold CEO Mark Sumner provided a comprehensive overview of the company's strategy, project portfolio, permitting progress, financing position, and upcoming catalysts.
At a market capitalization of approximately C$22.5 million, Daura Gold is advancing two distinct high-grade precious metals opportunities: the Antonella Project in Peru and the Cerro Bayo–La Flora Project in Argentina. While investors remain focused on drilling at Antonella, management emphasized that both projects have the potential to create significant value over the coming years.
The Core Strategy: Two Shots on Goal
Daura's strategy is not to spread capital equally across multiple assets. Instead, management views Antonella and Cerro Bayo–La Flora as the company's two primary value drivers.
While the company also controls the Yanamina and Tayacoto projects in Peru, management made clear that those assets currently play a secondary role. The majority of technical and financial resources are being directed toward advancing Antonella and expanding the Cerro Bayo opportunity.
The rationale is straightforward: maintain exposure to two high-quality precious metals districts while reducing reliance on a single exploration outcome.
Antonella: The Flagship Project
Antonella sits within Peru's prolific Cordillera Negra epithermal belt, approximately 5 km from Highlander Silver's San Luis Project.
Management repeatedly highlighted that Antonella remains the company's primary focus and the project that investors are most eagerly awaiting.
Why Antonella Matters
Several factors make Antonella stand out:
• Located in a proven high-grade district that has attracted significant industry attention.
• Historical drilling returned encouraging gold-silver intercepts despite limited testing.
• Less than 30% of known veins have been drill tested.
• Multiple vein corridors remain open and largely unexplored.
• The project has never been systematically evaluated using modern exploration methods.
Management noted that the original 2011 drilling program was essentially a scout campaign that successfully identified mineralization but left substantial upside untouched.
The Main Obstacle Has Never Been Geology
According to Sumner, the primary challenge in the district has historically been community relations rather than geology.
The nearby San Luis Project experienced more than a decade of community-related delays before agreements were reached and drilling resumed.
Daura believes the geological potential is exceptional, describing the district as "God's country" for epithermal gold-silver exploration.
The company is currently working toward securing a long-term community access agreement, which is required before advancing drilling permits and major field programs.
What Happens After Community Agreements?
Once access agreements are secured, management outlined a clear path forward:
Conduct a high-resolution drone magnetic survey across the project.
Refine structural interpretations beneath covered areas.
Finalize drill targeting.
Advance toward maiden drilling.
Importantly, management indicated that Antonella is not years away from drilling.
The remaining work is measured in months rather than years.
Can Antonella Be Drilled This Year?
Management stated that drilling remains a possibility before the end of 2026.
The goal would be to mobilize rigs before late November, potentially allowing 2,000–3,000 metres of drilling before seasonal weather limitations arrive.
While management stopped short of guaranteeing drilling this year, the objective remains firmly intact.
How Big Could Antonella Become?
While emphasizing the early-stage nature of the project, management outlined its long-term vision.
The company referenced external analysis suggesting nearby Bonita-style mineralization could potentially support a million-ounce-scale system.
Daura's internal objective is larger:
• Multi-million-ounce discovery potential.
• Multiple vein corridors.
• High-grade epithermal gold-silver mineralization.
• District-scale upside across the broader land package.
Management suggested that 2–3 million ounces would represent an ideal long-term outcome.
What Size Deposit Would Matter?
When asked what would constitute a meaningful discovery, management stated that:
• 500,000 ounces would likely be the minimum threshold to attract serious acquisition interest.
• Multi-million-ounce potential is the ultimate target.
This provides investors with a useful framework for evaluating future drill results.
Cerro Bayo–La Flora: The Near-Term Catalyst Machine
While Antonella attracts most investor attention, Cerro Bayo–La Flora may provide the most immediate news flow.
The Phase 1 drill program confirmed a large epithermal system and generated enough encouragement for management to immediately commit to a Phase 2 campaign.
Management stated unequivocally that Phase 2 drilling will proceed.
Why Management Was Encouraged By Phase 1
The market reaction to initial drill results was muted, but management viewed the program differently.
Key points:
• Only 1,500 metres were drilled.
• The land package covers nearly 30,000 hectares.
• More than 10 targets have been identified.
• Several targets remain completely untested.
Management argued that hitting meaningful gold and silver mineralization during such an early-stage campaign validated the exploration model.
Notably, the company identified promising follow-up opportunities at both the Ingrid and Elena targets.
La Flora May Be The Most Important Target
Management repeatedly emphasized La Flora as potentially the most exciting target on the property.
Highlights include:
• Multiple vein corridors mapped over more than 2 kilometres.
• Surface samples returning up to 82 g/t gold.
• Silver values up to 1,250 g/t.
• Visible gold observed at surface.
Perhaps most importantly, La Flora was not drill tested during Phase 1 due to permitting limitations.
The target is expected to be included in the next drill campaign.
What Must Phase 2 Deliver?
Management outlined three key objectives:
Expand and follow up on the encouraging mineralization identified at Ingrid.
Further evaluate high-grade gold intercepts at Elena.
Conduct the first-ever drilling at La Flora.
Success in any of these areas could significantly improve the market's perception of the project.
Which Project Has Better Odds?
Interestingly, management acknowledged that investor attention remains overwhelmingly focused on Antonella.
The reasons include:
• Proximity to Highlander Silver's San Luis Project.
• Strong district pedigree.
• Existing drill results.
• Significant industry attention surrounding neighboring discoveries.
However, management also suggested that Cerro Bayo–La Flora may possess greater district-scale exploration potential due to its size, target inventory, and underexplored nature.
Rather than choosing between the two, Daura believes shareholders benefit from exposure to both.
Financial Position
The company raised approximately C$7 million in October 2025.
Management indicated that Daura remains adequately funded to advance current exploration plans and Phase 2 drilling in Argentina.
The company continues to evaluate financing opportunities but remains focused on maximizing exploration success rather than rushing back to the market.
Insider Alignment
Several points stood out regarding management alignment:
• CEO Mark Sumner owns approximately 4 million shares.
• Shares were purchased rather than granted.
• Management stated there are no "free shares" within the insider group.
• No insiders hold royalties on Antonella or the core Peru projects.
• The company currently has no change-of-control ("golden parachute") agreements.
Management repeatedly emphasized that insider success is tied primarily to appreciation in the share price.
Key Catalysts To Watch
Near-Term
• Community access agreement at Antonella.
• High-resolution drone magnetic survey.
• Additional mapping and targeting work.
• Cerro Bayo Phase 2 drill planning.
Medium-Term
• Maiden drill program at Antonella.
• Phase 2 drilling at Cerro Bayo–La Flora.
• First drill testing of La Flora.
Longer-Term
• Potential resource definition drilling.
• Additional discoveries across both districts.
• Advancement of Yanamina and Tayacoto.
Bottom Line
The interview highlighted a company transitioning from project assembly into active discovery mode.
Antonella remains the flagship asset and the catalyst most investors are waiting for, but Cerro Bayo–La Flora may generate the most immediate news flow through Phase 2 drilling.
The central investment thesis rests on two district-scale precious metals opportunities located in proven mining jurisdictions, supported by an experienced management team that has maintained meaningful ownership and remains focused on advancing both projects toward discovery.
For investors, the next major milestones are clear: community agreements and drill permits at Antonella, followed by continued drilling and target expansion at Cerro Bayo–La Flora.

Posted on behalf of Daura Gold -
In an interview with Resource Stock Digest's Gerardo Del Real, DGC (TSXV: DGC, OTC: DGCOF) Chairman and CEO Mark Sumner walked through where the company sits today: an explorer with a freshly confirmed discovery in Argentina and a drill pipeline lining up behind it. With gold around US$4,200/oz and silver near US$65/oz, the backdrop for high-grade exploration in a proven district is about as constructive as it gets.
Cerro Bayo sits in Argentina's Deseado Massif, a district that has produced 600M+ oz silver and 20M+ oz gold since 1990, host to mines like Newmont's Cerro Negro and Hochschild's San José.
The Phase 1 assays, released May 21, 2026, were Daura's first systematic drill test of the property:
- 18 diamond holes, about 1,850 m, across 10 priority targets over 28,397 hectares.
- Confirmed a large low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver system, with mineralization open along strike at all targets.
- CBD26-012: 1.95 m at 8.83 g/t gold.
- CBD26-005: 1.8 m at 739 g/t silver (0.33 g/t gold), within a broader 15.0 m at 1.90 g/t AuEq.
- CBD26-001: 16.35 m at 1.72 g/t AuEq, including 3.60 m at 6.3 g/t AuEq.
- Broad near-surface silver zones the company flags as potential for bulk-tonnage mineralization around higher-grade feeder structures at depth. (AuEq = gold + silver/66.)
The part to keep an eye on is the Phase 2 program planned for Q3 2026:
- Step-out and extension holes to test continuity on the zones Phase 1 opened up, plus targets not yet drilled.
- Initial drill testing at La Flora, a high-grade vein system where visible gold and bonanza-grade surface samples (up to 82 g/t gold and 1,239 g/t silver) have turned up at surface, with that initial drilling targeted for Q3/Q4 2026. (See May 21, 2026 NR.)
Behind that sits the rest of the pipeline: the high-grade Antonella project in Peru's Ancash region (surface sampling up to 22.84 g/t gold and 102 g/t silver), near Barrick's past-producing Pierina mine, plus a Geomorphic AI targeting platform Sumner frames as the technical edge for ranking targets and vectoring the drill bit.
With the system confirmed, mineralization still open along strike, and Phase 2 set to step out across both Cerro Bayo and La Flora, Daura heads into the back half of 2026 with a real catalyst sequence.

Daura Gold Intersects High-Grade Gold & Silver Mineralization and Confirms Large Epithermal System from Phase One Drilling at Cerro BayoMay 21, 2026 7:30 AM
NewsfileHighlightsMultiple gold and silver intercepts returned from initial drilling at Cerro Bayo, with broad zones of near-surface silver mineralization encountered across multiple target areas.CBD26-001 returned 16.35 metres (m) @ 1.72 g/t gold-equivalent (AuEq), including 3.60 m @ihub_tutorial returned 15.0 m @ihub_tutorial, a high-grade silver interval returned 739 g/t Ag and 0.33 g/t Au over 1.8 m. Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 21, 2026) - Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV: DGC) (OTCQB: DGCOF) (the "Company" or "Daura") is pleased to report assay results from its phase one diamond drill program ("Phase One") at the Cerro Bayo project located in the prolific Deseado Massif of Santa Cruz Province, Argentina ("Cerro Bayo").The 1,850-metre program comprised 18 diamond drill holes testing 10 priority targets across the 28,397-hectare property. Significant gold and silver mineralization was intersected in multiple holes during this first-pass drill campaign, including several higher-grade intervals that demonstrate the potential of the epithermal system."The Cerro Bayo and La Flora license areas form part of a very large hydrothermal field spanning more than 400 km² within the Deseado Massif, where multiple target areas identified by previous operators remained effectively untested by drilling," stated Stuart Mills, VP Exploration at Daura Gold. "Phase One drilling successfully intersected broad zones of near-surface silver mineralization and higher-grade gold-silver intervals across multiple target areas, validating several key aspects of our geological model during Daura's preliminary drill campaign."Highlight InterceptsHole CBD26-001:16.35 m at 1.72 g/t AuEq* (0.37 g/t Au, 88.96 g/t Ag) from 28.85 m; including3.60m at 1.43g/t gold (Au) and 321.7 g/t Ag (6.3 g/t AuEq) from 36.05 m.Hole CBD26-005:15.00 m at 1.90 g/t AuEq* (0.07 g/t Au, 120.8 g/t Ag) from 58.7 m; including2.00m at 0.11 g/t Au and 427.4 g/t Ag (6.6 g/t AuEq) from 63.70 m, and1.70m at 0.16 g/t Au and 120.72 g/t Ag (2.0 g/t AuEq) from 68.30 m.3.60 m at 6.08 g/t AuEq* (0.18 g/t Au, 389.88 g/t Ag) from 86.4 m, including1.80m at 0.33 g/t Au and 739.53 g/t Ag (11.53 g/t AuEq) from 86.40 m.Hole CBD26-012:11.95m at 2.1 g/t AuEq (2.0 g/t Au, 6.8 g/t Ag) from 11.45 m, including 1.95m at 8.83 g/t Au and 18.86 g/t Ag (9.1 g/t AuEq) from 17.15 m. See Notes to Intercepts Table & Highlights Additionally, broad zones of silver mineralization were encountered from surface in multiple holes, including:CBD26-001: 43.1 m at 44.3 g/t Ag; andCBD26-005: 34.1 m at 23.2 g/t Ag.The broad near-surface mineralization encountered across multiple target areas supports the presence of a large and well-developed epithermal gold-silver system at Cerro Bayo, with potential for both shallow bulk-tonnage mineralization and higher-grade feeder structures at depth. The Company is continuing to refine targets and compile results in preparation for Phase Two drilling.Mr. Mills continues, "Daura's strategy has been to drill early while continuing to systematically refine and generate new targets across the district. Drilling successfully intersected low sulphidation epithermal veins and breccias associated with higher-grade gold and silver intervals across multiple target areas, confirming several key aspects of our geological model. Importantly, the scale and continuity of mineralization encountered suggest we are vectoring into a well-developed hydrothermal system with only our first phase of drilling. These drill results significantly enhance our confidence in the broader discovery potential at Cerro Bayo and we relish the opportunity to continue systematic, results-driven exploration."Map 1: Concession map of Cerro Bayo with collar locations of Significant Drill Intercepts (Table 1).

The parallel advancement of both target generation, initial drilling and follow-up drilling is designed to create a sustained exploration pipeline with multiple opportunities for discovery across Daura's growing Argentine portfolio.At the La Flora project ("La Flora"), drill permit applications have been submitted, and the Company remains on track for an initial drill program during Q3/Q4 2026. La Flora represents an additional high-priority exploration opportunity where high-grade vein systems and visible gold have been identified at surface (see inset in Map 1).QA/QC and Analytical ProceduresAll of the drill core was split in half using a diamond saw and logged by the Company's geologist on site who outlined the intervals to be sampled. The maximum sample length is approximately 2 meters, and sample lengths are adjusted according to lithological and/or mineralogical contacts.Half drill core samples were collected under the supervision of the Company's geological team and samples were transported by the Company to Alex Stewart Laboratories ("ASI") in Perito Moreno, Santa Cruz, Argentina. The samples were dried, crushed to 80% passing 10 mesh, rotary split before being pulverized to 95% passing 106 microns pulp.Gold and silver analyses were completed in Perito Moreno using 30 g Fire Assay with Atomic Absorption finish, with over-range analyses subsequently determined by appropriate single element analyses, in accordance with ASI's standard procedures. An aliquot of the pulp reject was shipped to ASI's Mendoza laboratory for multi-element analysis consisting of aqua regia digestion and a 42-element suite analyzed by Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The internal quality assurance and quality control (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 Geodex Consultants Ltd., a third-party independent consultancy, and were found to be within acceptable limits before being uploaded into Datashed by Geomax Ltd., an independent arms-length database manager.The Company is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.Qualified PersonStuart Mills, M.Sc., is the Company's qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and has reviewed, verified and approved the scientific and technical information that forms the basis for portions of this news release.
