Daura Gold Corp. (TSX-V: DGC) — newly issued and currently trading around C$0.15 per share in a near-record gold market — is advancing the Antonella and Cochabamba early-stage exploration projects located in the Ancash region of north-central Peru.
The region lays host to a number of significant precious and base metals mines and projects with active majors, including Barrick, Newmont, and Anglo American.
That includes the Antamina Mine, which is renowned for its high-grade copper-zinc-silver ores; the Pierina Mine, a high-grade gold producer; the Casma Mine, known for its polymetallic deposits; and the Pachapaqui mine, which produces silver, lead, zinc, and copper.
Daura Gold, which boasts a highly-experienced in-country team, holds over 9,000 hectares of exploration concessions in the Ancash region:
- Antonella Property (Current Flagship): 900-hectare high-grade gold target situated directly adjacent to Highlander Silver’s bonanza-grade San Luis gold project and bordering the Bonita target.
- Cochabamba Property: 8,123-hectare gold-silver-copper target comprising 10 mining concessions with previous drilling by Minera Silex.
The Antonella gold project (acquired from Estrella Gold S.A.C. in January 2025) is the present area of exploration focus.
As noted, the project sits directly adjacent to Highlander Silver’s San Luis Project
(bordering the Bonita target), which lays host to approximately 350,000 ounces Au at roughly 22 grams per tonne (see below).
The Antonella Project itself boasts nearly 2,500 meters of historical drilling, which produced a number of high-grade gold intercepts across narrow widths as detailed in the below image.
The breadth and depth of mineralization at Antonella are key parameters the Daura Gold team plans to flesh out in future drill rounds.
Earlier we touched on the fact that the region has attracted the interest and operations of majors such as Barrick, Newmont, and Anglo American. A key reason for that is the exceptionally high gold grades that grace the Ancash district’s mining landscape — and therein lies the near-term excitement.
Daura Gold’s main exploration focus is on the flagship Antonella Project. Worth noting, Barrick recently filed for drill permits on Highlander Silver’s San Luis Project, which, again, is situated just to the south of Antonella.
Also noteworthy, Highlander Silver recently closed a large C$32M financing, which shows just how prospective the region is for high-grade gold discovery and development.
Next steps for Daura Gold at Antonella include mobilizing a field crew to site for an initial program of geological mapping and sampling with the aim of vectoring in on the first set of priority drill targets.
Permitting is well underway at the property wherein the company expects to announce details on its upcoming field program, and forthcoming drill program, in short order.
Importantly, the permitting climate in Peru has improved dramatically over the last few years, which should prove invaluable to Daura’s ongoing permitting efforts in the Ancash region.
For a much deeper dive, our own Gerardo Del Real of Junior Resource Monthly caught up with Daura Gold director Mark Sumner to discuss the team, the permitting progress, and the exploration approach at Antonella. Please enjoy!
