Daura Gold Corp. (TSX-V: DGC) — currently trading around C$0.38 per share — has announced high-grade gold-silver results from systematic infill sampling of historic drill core at its flagship, 100%-owned Antonella project in Peru’s Ancash region.
The results enhance previously reported precious metals intercepts, with DGC confirming a significant upgrade to gold-silver mineralization identified within 12 historical diamond drill holes totaling 2,461 meters.
Past operators had sampled only 360 meters of drill core out of the 2,461 meters reviewed by Daura. Daura completed 513 samples across the 12 holes as part of the historic infill sampling program, significantly improving the geological dataset and supporting a refined interpretation of mineralized continuity within key vein systems.
In fact, the company reports the identification of vein intercepts during re-logging that were previously completely unsampled and untested in 9 out of the 12 holes.
Overall, the program produced a number of standout near-surface intercepts including hole CBD11004B, which returned 22.4 meters grading 4.36 g/t gold and 23 g/t silver from 36.8 meters depth.
Daura Gold CEO Mark Sumner — whom you’ll hear from next in our exclusive interview — commented on the high-grade results from Antonella via press release:
“The systematic infill sampling of historic drill core has significantly increased the previously reported gold and silver intervals at Antonella, revealing wide intercepts across multiple holes and identifying high grade vein mineralization in 9 of 12 drill holes. This new data underpins the potential of the Antonella project, as well as the quality of Daura’s technical team by recognizing and executing on the opportunity to enhance our drilling dataset.”
The program also identified gold-silver mineralization associated with elevated pathfinder elements, with Daura Gold VP of Exploration Stuart Mills adding:
“The upgraded drill intercepts at Antonella provide critical new insights into Antonella's mineralizing system, including high-value pathfinder geochemical vectors. These data are essential for targeting high-grade extensions and expansion of the Antonella deposit in the Company's future planned drill program.”
The results further support DGC’s newly released surface sampling results from both Antonella Main and the recently identified Antonella North vein system (situated ~1 km north of Antonella Main), confirming strong gold-silver mineralization across multiple surface exposures and further expanding the known footprint of the Antonella system.
Highlights from that program included:
- Antonella Main Zone: 22.84 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 102 g/t silver
- Antonella North Zone: 7.98 g/t gold and 189 g/t silver
Those results reinforce the presence of multiple near-surface, high-grade vein structures across the broader property area and support the interpretation of Antonella as a growing, district-scale gold-silver system.
Antonella is situated within a highly productive metallogenic belt that hosts several major deposits, including Antamina and Barrick’s past-producing Pierina gold mine.
Importantly, the project lies directly adjacent to Highlander Silver’s Bonita Project where recent drilling has delivered strong gold-silver intercepts along the same regional structural corridor.
While the newly identified extensions at Antonella Main & North have yet to be drill-tested, the combination of high-grade surface assays at Antonella and Highlander’s ongoing success at Bonita continues to validate the broader exploration potential of this emerging gold-silver district.
Recent structural interpretation conducted by the DGC team using high-resolution satellite imagery has identified two distinct mineralized corridors associated with Antonella Main and Antonella North, each extending for more than 5 kilometers.
The corridors host multiple parallel vein arrays and remain open along strike, providing significant room for continued expansion as exploration advances at the flagship project.
With early positive results in hand, DGC is advancing surface mapping and sampling across its Antonella concessions, while targeted geophysical work and structural analysis continue to refine drill targeting ahead of Phase-1 drilling planned for later in the year.
Systematic Portfolio Expansion
Beyond Antonella, Daura Gold is advancing its broader multi-project gold-silver portfolio across Argentina and Peru.
For a detailed overview, click here for our newly-updated Daura Gold report.
In Argentina, Daura’s fully permitted Cerro Bayo gold-silver project has commenced Phase One drilling, representing the first modern drill test of the property.
Cerro Bayo is situated within the Deseado Massif — Argentina’s premier gold-silver district — which has yielded more than 600 million ounces of silver and 20 million ounces of gold and hosts major mines such as Cerro Negro and San José.
DGC’s newly launched Phase One program will test 15 priority targets defined through integrated geochemical and IP geophysical surveys across 22 diamond drill holes totaling approximately 1,500 meters.
Exploration efforts at Cerro Bayo are focused on two primary target zones:
Northern Target Area: Three pole-dipole IP lines defined eight targets with initial drilling focused on three priority zones across 10 diamond drill holes totaling approximately 500 meters.
Southern Target Area: Seven priority targets will be tested through 14 diamond drill holes totaling roughly 1,000 meters, targeting Apparent Resistivity anomalies coincident with surface geochemistry and interpreted structural controls consistent with a low-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver model.
In Peru, surface work is ongoing at Daura’s Yanamina and Tayacoto projects located within the broader Antonella district, further expanding Daura’s footprint in the Ancash region.
Surface work at Yanamina continues to define mineralized structures and alteration zones consistent with epithermal-style gold-silver systems with exploration focused on expanding the mineralized footprint and refining drill targets through systematic geological and geochemical evaluation.
Fieldwork at Yanamina is progressing in parallel with preparation of a maiden NI 43-101 resource.
Also in Peru, early-stage fieldwork is underway at Tayacoto to map mineralized zones and delineate initial targets.
Exploration efforts at Tayacoto remain focused on refining targets and advancing the geological understanding of the emerging gold-silver system. As multiple exploration programs advance across the portfolio, Daura Gold — still valued below C$35 million — provides speculators diversified, drill-driven upside in a strengthening precious metals market.
