Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / December 6, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc.
(TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces that
further to its news of December 1st, 2016, Durango’s geological team has completed a limited mapping and sampling
survey at its 100%-owned Mayner’s Fortune limestone project located in British Columbia.
The 320-hectare Mayner’s Fortune property is located 7.5km southwest of Terrace, B.C. and hosts five historically
mapped sub-parallel limestone units. Mapping of the eastern portion of the claim block during this most recent survey confirmed the
presence of broad limestone beds on the property.
Mapping Results
Limestone Unit #5 was chosen to be the focus of the mapping survey, based on its historically reported thickness and
quality as well as accessibility, considering limitations introduced by recent snowfall in the area. The limestone unit was mapped
for an extent of 650 metres along strike and up to 140 metres apparent thickness along surface near the centre of the claim. The
unit strikes approximately north-south and dips to the east at 55-60 degrees. Porphyry intrusions and narrow mafic dikes were found
to cross-cut the unit in a few locations and are estimated to comprise approximately 10-15% of the total strike-length mapped. The
unit remains open towards both the north and south, and average/maximum thickness has yet to be confirmed.
The results from this survey compare well with historical mapping which estimated the limestone units to measure at
least 1,600 metres along strike, while remaining open at both ends (spanning the entire length of the claim block), and up to 180
metres apparent thickness at the southern end of the claim block.
Outcrop Sampling
26 outcrop samples were taken from the limestone unit and are being submitted to Bureau Veritas located in Vancouver,
British Columbia for analysis. Results from the analyses will be reported as they become available.
Updated maps will be available shortly on the Durango Resources website at the following link:

In addition, Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, met with representatives of Kitselas and Kitsumkalum First Nations
community in effort to maintain open communication and dialogue and to form potential partnerships. Discussions will
remain ongoing as the property development progresses.
