Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 2, 2025) - Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV: DGC) (formerly Daura Capital Corp.) (the "Company" or "Daura") is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement with the District Municipality of Pampas Grande, located in the Ancash Department, 28 km south of the Company's flagship Antonella project as well as the San Luis gold project. The Company is also pleased to announce the commencement of extensive geological mapping and rock sampling activities in the Pampas 1 and 2 areas, aimed at assessing and enhancing the understanding of the mineralization and economic potential within these key exploration sites.
Pampas 1 and 2 Exploration Program
Daura's Pampas 1 and 2 project consists of 1200 hectares of prospective land characterized by pyroclastic ash flow deposits and andesitic lava flows from the Calipuy Group (Cenozoic volcanic). Recognizing the potential for valuable mineral deposits, Daura is undertaking geological mapping at a scale of 1:10,000 to delineate the area's geology and evaluate its economic prospects. Rock sampling utilizing the rock chip technique will be conducted in targeted areas of interest, with subsequent analysis performed using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) methods to ensure low detection limits. This mapping and sampling program will provide crucial insights into the economic potential of the Pampas 1 and 2 concessions.
The area is in a highly prospective zone where several national and international mining companies have interest, including Barrick and JX Nippon Mining & Metals. Pampas 1 and 2 are within a 6 kms radius of Barrick's mining claims and there is a history of artisanal mining in the region.
Luis Saenz, CEO of Daura, stated: "Today marks a significant milestone for our company as we have officially signed a community agreement that reflects our commitment to responsible exploration and collaboration. This partnership not only strengthens our ties with the community but also ensures that we engage transparently and respectfully with those affected by our activities. Daura remains committed to advancing its exploration initiatives and maximizes the potential of its mineral assets. These mapping and sampling endeavors at Pampas 1 and 2 are pivotal steps in the company's strategy to enhance its resource base and deliver value to stakeholders. We have a large land package in an established region with many mid-tier and large cap mining companies including Barrick, Vale and Highlander Silver who are all currently active in the area. As we start our mapping and sampling programs, we look forward to working closely with our neighbours."
