Highlights

Acquisition of newly staked 4,700 hectares in the Yanamina Project area, approximately 40km north of Daura's high-grade Antonella target and the bonanza grade San Luis Gold Project owned by Highlander Silver.

Yanamina compliments Daura's project portfolio in the Ancash Department, which is well-known for mining in Peru with major historical production from Barrick's Pierina gold mine, approximately 40km from Yanamina. And 94km from the Tier 1 Antamina Mine, owned by Glencore, Teck and Mitsubishi.
A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource.
Luis Saenz, Daura CEO, commented: "The expansion of our land position at Yanamina represents a significant step forward in our strategy to build a high-quality gold-silver portfolio in one of Peru's most prolific mining regions. The newly acquired claims lie in a highly prospective area that mirrors the geology of known surficial mineralization at Yanamina and strengthens our exploration pipeline. With historical resources already defined, our next steps will focus on validating and expanding the resource base while unlocking new targets across this underexplored ground."
