(TheNewswire)
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / December 20, 2017 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “ Company ” or “ Durango
”) announces that further to its news of December 18, 2017, it has acquired via online staking an additional 477 hectares
surrounding its wholly owned Dianna Lake, Saskatchewan property.
The mineralization zone encountered is enriched by silver, gold, cobalt, copper, mercury, nickel, lead, zinc,
rhenium, scandium, antimony, tungsten and Rare Earth Elements, and depleted by aluminum, calcium, potassium, and
natrium.
Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, further commented, “Due to the great success of the latest
exploration program where high-grade silver, copper and cobalt were discovered, management decided additional ground surrounding
the property would permit room for potential expansion on the Dianna Lake property. Our team is focused on a follow-up exploration
program at Dianna Lake when weather permits in the coming months.”
About the Dianna Lake property, Saskatchewan
Durango's Dianna Lake silver property covers a historical area in which, from 1968 to 1969, two
high-grade, primarily native, silver-bearing exploration targets of between 30,000 tonnes and 50,000 tonnes grading five to 10
ounces per ton silver, approximately 600 metres apart, were determined by trench grab sample assays, according to a historical
evaluation report composed for Comaplex Resources in 1980* (1).
* Potential quantities and grades are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration
to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral
resource.
Additionally, the main silver-bearing zone is spatially associated with a large zone of low-grade,
disseminated copper-silver mineralization in which drilling of two IP anomalies indicated approximately five million tonnes
averaging 0.4 ounce per ton silver and 0.4 per cent copper (undefined category historical resource estimate, undocumented method),
according to the same report** (1).
** A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current
mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Durango is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or
reserves. The historical estimates use categories other than those required by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and
Petroleum and National Instrument 43-101. Further research and exploration work must be carried out to verify all historical
information before a resource estimate is possible.
Previous work on the claims was reported in 1969, 1980 and 1998, and included diamond drill holes,
trenches and pits primarily across two zones where mineralization was identified at or near
surface . *** One zone was reported to have five trenches exposing silver-copper mineralization over
approximately 80 metres. Historical grab samples from pit No. 1 of this zone included values of 2,458.4, 684.4, 647.4, 600.2, 464.2
and 454.8 ounces per tonne silver. Out of 18 grab samples, 13 samples assayed between 185 ounces per tonne silver and 2,458.4
ounces per tonne silver. Pit No. 2 grab samples returned reported highs of 298 ounces per ton silver and 197 ounces per tonne
silver (out of seven samples ranging from 12.2 ounces per ton silver to 298 ounces per tonne silver) (1). The Company cautions that
grab samples are selective and may not be representative of the mineralization on the property.
*** A qualified person has not done sufficient work to verify, analyze and test the data underlying
the previously filed government work reports created for the property. The historical information and data is being used for
information purposes only until it can be verified by the Company through additional exploration work.
The technical contents of this release were approved by George Yordanov, P.Geo, a “qualified person”
as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The property has not yet been the subject of a National Instrument 43-101
report.
