(TSXV: DGC) (OTC Pink: DGCOF) (the \"Company\" or \"Daura\") is pleased to announce that it has expanded the land package of the 100%-owned Tayacoto Project located in Peru (\"Tayacoto\" or the \"Project\"), by staking the 1,000-hectare Agustina concession immediately north of Tayacoto.This strategic acquisition consolidates the Company's control over the northern extension of the interpreted structural corridor that hosts mineralization within Tayacoto. The concession was acquired by direct application through INGEMMET, Peru's state agency for mining concessions.Mark Sumner, Daura's CEO, commented: \"The addition of the Agustina concession represents an important step in consolidating the broader Tayacoto district. Tayacoto hosts high-grade silver-gold-copper-lead vein mineralization outboard of Daura's principal porphyry-type exploration targeting. The addition of Agustina strengthens our control in the area, providing an opportunity to expand both the known polymetallic vein systems and evaluate the porphyry potential in a mineralizing district containing world-class deposits that fit within an intrusion-centered exploration model.\"The concession (highlighted in red with a black outline in Figure 1) lies within a region previously termed the Pucajirca Volcanic Center. This 'volcanic center' contains a number of porphyry-type prospects hosted within the Calipuy Volcanic Group, including Highlander Silver Corp.'s Cerro Colorado and Daniela projects.Previously reported reconnaissance mapping and sampling within the Tayacoto concession returned high-grade surface sampling results, including 6.1 g/t Au, 1,153 g/t Ag, 0.4% Cu, and >14% Pb (Daura News Release, November 11, 2025). These results confirm strong silver-lead mineralization with subordinate copper, zinc, and gold. This reported sampling is situated approximately 2.5 km east of Highlander Silver Corp.'s Daniela project and 1.5 km west of Daura's porphyry-type exploration target within the Tayacoto concession (Figure 2a). The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource at Tayacoto, and it is uncertain if further exploration will...
