Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire – October 21, 2020 – Durango Resources Inc.(TSXV:DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTC:ATOXF), (the “Company” or “Durango“) is pleased to report that further to its news release dated October 8, 2020, the Company has started an exploration program on the East Barry Property which is located 2km east of the Trove Property at Windfall Lake, Quebec.

The East Barry Property was recently expanded in size and is now 7,740 hectares, bordering Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX:OSK) on the west and Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSXV:BTR) on the north. Durango’s exploration crew was tasked with exploring the East Barry along the 10km long gold in till trend for geological reconnaissance. The crew has also been asked to proceed with a north south Spontaneous Polarity (“SP“) geophysical survey across an area of high interest.

Due to the rehabilitation of old access roads, the exploration team is able to complete geological reconnaissance in areas previously unaccessible on the East Barry Property. New outcrops have been discovered on high ground providing key geological information for the area. During this exploration campaign on the East Barry Property, a mineralized quartz feldspar porphyry (“QFP“) dike associated with quartz veins was discovered (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. QFP dike with 0.5 to 1% pyrite mineralization along the newly cleared road.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, stated, “Durango’s exploration crew took the opportunity of favourable weather and newly rehabilitated roads to expand the ground exploration program onto the East Barry Property. The East Barry Property has minimal outcrop, so all of the information we can gather on rock exposure is extremely important in order to identify geological similarities with the Windfall Lake deposit and potential mineralization associations. Durango will continue to explore the East Barry Property in the upcoming weeks concurrently with its ongoing drill campaign on the Trove Property. We look forward to analyzing the results in comparison with our neighbours’ data.”

The technical contents of this press release were approved by George Yordanov, professional geologist, an Independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The Trove Property has not yet been subject to an NI-43-101 report.

Trove Property, Quebec

Durango owns 100% interest in the Trove claims, which are surrounded by Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX-OSK), in the Windfall Lake area between Val d’Or and Chibougamau, Quebec. The 1,185 hectare property is compelling due to the coincidence of gold found in tills coinciding with magnetic highs, several Induced Polarization anomalies and two faults crosscutting the property. The fault systems north and south of the Trove, control gold mineralization elsewhere, indicating the Trove has excellent exploration potential. Durango received all the final drill permits for the Trove property in September 2019 and is currently undertaking its inaugural drill program.

East Barry Property, Quebec

Durango owns 100% interest in the East Barry claims which run parallel to Trove claims. The East Barry block is over 7,740 hectares in size and borders the eastern perimeter of Osisko’s holdings and the southern perimeter of Bonterra’s holdings and is less than 4km south of the Gladiator deposit. The East Barry claims host a gold trend which covers approximately 10km in length and is subparallel to the main Barry Fault held by Osisko Mining. In 2018, a till sampling program was conducted by Durango and one of the till samples returned forty-two (42) pristine gold grains with reported gold values of 2.184 g/t Au. A high count of pristine gold grains indicates that the gold has travelled a very short distance from its source. The East Barry block underwent an Induced Polarization (“IP“) survey in 2018 which identified a high priority target coincident with the high count of pristine gold grains.

About Durango

Durango is a natural resources company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company is positioned for discovery with a 100% interest in a strategically located group of properties in the Windfall Lake gold camp in the Abitibi region of Quebec, Canada.

CLIENT FEATURE: 3 Reasons Durango Resources $DGO.ca is the Next Small Cap Discovery in Windfall Lake $OSK.ca $BTR.ca $SII.ca $TLG.ca

DGO: TSXV

Durango Resources (TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTCQB -ATOXF) is an exploration company planning on making a gold discovery in the Windfall Lake gold camp of Quebec.

Durango’s land in the Camp demonstrates a high probability of having gold in the ground. The Trove and East Barry properties have seen multiple methods of exploration helping to guide and pinpoint areas that require drilling for gold. Durango has been guided expertly by both management, its technical team and its peers for the discoveries previously made in the Windfall camp. Recent step out drilling expanded high grade gold at Windfall, with 2.4m of 391g/t gold Windfall.

Osisko dominates the land position and are responsible for the discovery of the Windfall deposit, which has expanded into a resource of 1.2 million ounces of high-grade gold and helped to create a new gold camp in Canada. Their deposit is world-class scale and Osisko shows no sign of slowing down exploration anywhere on their sizeable land position as they continue with 19 drills operating in 2020 and surround Durango with over 2.8 million ounces of gold.

Durango may be in the shadows of a larger entity, but that doesn’t make their properties any less valuable. Durango doesn’t need to be bigger to be better and Trove and East Barry properties show high probability of having gold in multiple areas. Trove only needs to be drilled to determine how much. 

Durango is backed by a regionally experienced technical staff that has made their own discoveries in the Windfall camp, and management that have purposely supported the company for this strategic land to have its moment. Durango aims to prove that bigger isn’t always better, and that small cap exploration companies can make market grabbing discoveries.  2020 is the year Durango makes a discovery.

Here are the 3 things you need to know

The Trove Property is Drill Ready.

100% Owned Trove property located in Windfall Lake, Quebec has been systematically explored in preparation of a drill program. There have been many technical studies completed on the property and they all point in the same direction, that Trove is drill ready. There are currently 15 high-priority drill locations already prepared. Surrounded by Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX: OSK) Trove has excellent exploration potential, especially as Osisko drilled along the Trove border in 5 separate areas in 2018, encountering mineralization in all and having one hole in particular that stood out with 5 grams of gold in the sample.  The Trove property is strategically located directly south of the Retriever and Black Dog projects of Osisko and hosts two major gold bearing faults. Osisko has identified gold on multiple sides of the Trove property through recent drilling.

Durango’s exploration team has completed its initial 2020 reconnaissance program and has prepared Trove for the 2020 summer drill program. Durango has identified 15 drill targets in 4 different zones on the Trove Property to test 3 separate studies all pointing toward a potential gold discovery.

Durango Resources may not have the size to match Osisko, they do however have the exploration potential to compete in the discovery department with Trove and East Barry, that border Osisko property boundaries. 

 2. The Windfall Camp is Not Done Making Discoveries

Quebec is ranked 4th best jurisdiction for mining investment in the world (Fraser Institute, 2019), due largely to the exploration success Osisko, and other companies have contributed to the area. Durango wholly owns its Trove project, surrounded by gold deposits hosting over 2.8M ounces of gold and is strategically located directly south of the Retriever and Black Dog projects. The Trove property hosts two major gold bearing faults which is prime real estate for holding economic gold deposits.

This from a 2017 Northern Miner Article describing mineralization in the area:

….“While we expect the Windfall deposit itself to double in size from the 1.6 million oz. already defined, it is the adjacent targets, including Fox, Lynx and Black Dog, that have caught our attention, suggesting the Urban-Barry project area could represent a district-scale play in Quebec,” Carew added.

June 2017: https://www.northernminer.com/news/osisko-mining-banks-big-winnings-windfall/1003786483/

The Windfall Camp is not done making gold discoveries.

 3. Technical Committee and Management Support

You can’t make a discovery without people and know how to do it. The Windfall Camp has proven there is tremendous amounts of gold buried in the ground, with lots more to be found. Gold, however, doesn’t find itself. For that you need the people and know how to understand where to start looking before committing hard earned shareholder capital on expensive, sometimes, failed drill campaigns.
This is where Dale Ginn gets to help guide Durango. An experienced mining executive and geologist for over 30 years participated in numerous gold and base metal discoveries, many of which are in production today, including the Gladiator Deposit by Bonterra in the Windfall Camp. Dale has the prerequisite experience to coordinate and define an exploration program leading up to a discovery. He has done it before and may accomplish again with Durango.

Lastly, shareholders are thankful to have Marcy Kiesman at the helm of Durango. Ms. Kiesman has routinely supported the company and owns close to 16% of the company. Ms. Kiesman is one of the leading ladies in the exploration business today and has put together an all-female management team positioning Durango toward Discovery.

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire – October 8, 2020 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSXV:DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTC:ATOXF), (the ” Company ” or ” Durango “) is pleased to report that further to its news release dated September 11, 2020, mechanical trenching has identified additional areas of interest on its Trove Property at Windfall Lake, Quebec

Figure 1 – Mineralized contact volcanic-sediment with carbonate alteration

The new outcrops are located within 100 metres from the first series of planned drill holes on the Trove Property which are designed to test continuity of mineralized trend between two drill intersections of Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX-OSK) ( OSK-UB-18-083 intersected 1.03 g/t Au and 5.13 g/t Au, OSK-UB-18-085 intersected 1.85 g/t Au) as well as near surface geophysical targets with coincident till with gold grains and gold anomalies in the rock samples. The new outcrop is in proximity of the northeast shear zone and is a contact zone of the volcanics and sediments. Mineralization was observed in a felsic dike with pyrite in quartz veining and carbonate alteration on the newly stripped outcrops.

Figure 2 – Biotite-chlorite altered sediment with mineralized quartz carbonate vein

Durango’s technical team recently discovered a northeast trending shear zone on the Trove Property as announced on September 11, 2020. In the Windfall Lake deposit area, the volcanic rocks are intruded by a series of felsic dikes near contacts between volcanic and sediments which host quartz veins with pyrite. The team has also confirmed an important regional deformation northeast shear with carbonate alteration in the wall rock zones that delineate the structural domains.

Additional mineralization was also seen in the nearby sediments represented by pyrite, pyrrhotite and molybdenite in alteration zone (silica, biotite, chlorite and carbonate) including to quartz-carbonate veins.

Channel samples were taken from this new area of interest and have been sent for assay to the SGS Canada lab in Val d’Or, Quebec.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, stated, “I would like to thank Durango’s exploration crew for such a great job on Phase I of our fall exploration program at Windfall Lake. The results in the mechanical trenching this month have been eye opening with the discovery of a sizable northeast shear zone, multiple locations with quartz veining and pyrite at surface and important geological indicators near the initial drill targets. The results to date highlight both the quality of our team to quickly perform grass roots work and the potential of our Trove Property at Windfall Lake. We look forward to the analysis of the field data in hopes to continue exploration and drilling into the winter months.”

Durango Begins Drilling on Trove Property at Windfall Lake, QC

Vancouver, BC – October 6, 2020 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSXV:DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTC:ATOXF), (the ” Company ” or ” Durango “) is pleased to report that further to its news release dated September 17, 2020, drilling is now underway on the Trove Property at Windfall Lake, Quebec.

Due to the limited outcrops in the area, Durango has relied to date on surface geochemistry and induced polarization (” IP “) for planning its 2020 drill program. New mechanical stripping on the northeast extremity of the Trove Property has strongly contributed to confirm and more accurately define carbonate-altered pyrite mineralized zones.

Durango has designed the 2020 drill program to test the lithological contacts between the units associated structures and shear zones. The initial drill holes on the Trove Property are planned to confirm a mineralized trend between two drill intersections ( OSK-UB-18-083 intersected 1.03 g/t Au and 5.13 g/t Au, OSK-UB-18-085 intersected 1.85 g/t Au) and to test near surface geophysical targets based on chargeability highs of the IP anomalies conducted in 2019 and coincident with gold in till.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, stated, “Durango’s exploration team and drilling crew are excited that drilling has commenced after months of preparation. Surface results to date on the Trove Property have been very promising with the discovery of a sizable northeast shear zone, contact, alteration and quartz veining at surface near the initial drill targets. Within the Trove Property limits, there are no recorded drill holes, so our team is looking forward to drill testing the geophysical anomalies, shear zones and vein structures on the Trove Property.”

Pullback in Gold Price ‘Is Unlikely To Turn Into A Rout – TD Securities SPONSOR Durango Resources $DGO.ca $OSK.ca $BTR.ca $SII.ca $TLG.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:44 PM on Thursday, September 24th, 2020

Durango owns 100% interest in the Trove claims, in the Windfall Lake area between Val d’Or and Chibougamau, Quebec., which are surrounded by Osisko Mining Inc. The property is compelling due to the coincidence of gold found in tills, coinciding with magnetic highs, several Induced Polarization anomalies and two faults crosscutting the property. Durango is undergoing a final review process for the proposed 3,000m drill program in 2020. Click Here For More Info

Gold’s bull rally is being challenged by strong U.S. dollar gains but this current pullback “is unlikely to turn into a rout,” according to TD Securities.

“Justice Ginsberg’s passing and its implications for a Phase 4 deal, rising Covid cases, and the upcoming election uncertainty have created vulnerabilities for the yellow-metal longs … [But] the secular bull market is intact, as long-term inflation expectations will likely continue to rise post-election, particularly if a fiscal deal can be agreed upon in the U.S.”

Gold’s late-longs are currently being punished as gold trades “nearly tick-for-tick with the broad dollar index.” TD Securities also points to a rise in ETF gold holdings in recent days, which shows that there is still investment appetite for gold. “The elevated hurdle rate for CTA liquidations further limits the extent of the liquidation for both gold and silver.

The risk for gold bugs is therefore limited to an extension of the global risk-off which catalyzed the dollar’s breakout,” TDS says.

Durango $DGO.ca Discovers Northeast Shear Zone Near Drill Target at Windfall Lake $OSK.ca $BTR.ca $SII.ca $TLG.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:01 AM on Thursday, September 17th, 2020
  • The shear zone is 75 metres away from one of Durango’s high priority drill pads on the Trove Property.
  • Durango is in the final stages of targeting prior to commencing drilling on September 25, 2020.

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire – September 17, 2020 – Durango Resources Inc.(TSXV:DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTC:ATOXF), (the “Company” or “Durango“) is pleased to report that further to its news release dated September 11, 2020, the exploration team has discovered a northeast shear zone with a set of stacked quartz veins at surface within a brecciated zone on the Trove Property at Windfall Lake, Quebec.

Durango now has multiple prospective areas, in addition to the previous drill targets defined by Induced Polarization (IP), soil sampling and airborne magnetic surveys. The Trove Property is located along the structural trend hosting Osisko Mining Inc.’s (TSX-OSK) Windfall Lake Deposit and the new surface data helps to better define the location of the structure on the Trove Property. Approximetly two hundred metres (200m) of newly stripped outcrops perpedicular to the structure are slated for sampling and assay.

The newly discovered shear zone is two metres (2m) wide and running subparallel to the regional fault. Figure 1 below shows the brecciated metasediment and the associated quartz veins. The structural measurements will help to precisely orient the upcoming drill holes. The shear zone is 75 metres away from one of Durango’s high priority drill pads on the Trove Property. The Company is in the final stages of targeting prior to commencing drilling on September 25, 2020.

Figure 1 – Brecciated metasediment with quartz veins and shear

The Company hired Orquest Drilling Inc. (“Orquest“) to undergo its fall drill program at Windfall Lake. The program is planned for a minimum of 2,220 metres and up to 5,000 metres with 27 permitted holes. Orquest will be using a clean-tech modular drilling system by DrillCo, which is the most environmentally friendly drill on the market. The DrillCo platform offers: 30% savings in fuel and electrical power; 75% reduction in the number of hoses and connections to reduce possibilities of leakage and spills; reduced hydraulic hoses to landfill; an air cooled system for reduced water consumption; and no discarded filters due to magnetic filtration systems.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, stated, “Durango is proud to be using a new advanced drill system which offers financial savings, operational advantages and environmental responsibility. The ground work at Windfall Lake is ongoing and our exploration team has been continuously discovering important geological indicators pointing to the significance of the upcoming maiden drill program. We congratulate the geological team on their discovery of sizable shear zone, with multiple instances of quartz veining at surface. Durango is fully financed and looks forward to continue drilling into the winter, if warranted.”

Durango $DGO.ca Discovers Shear Zone at Surface at Windfall Lake $OSK.ca $BTR.ca $SII.ca $TLG.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:30 AM on Friday, September 11th, 2020
  • Phase I of its fall exploration program at Windfall Lake has discovered a sizable shear zone, quartz veining at surface and rusty till near the initial drill targets.

Durango Resources Inc.(TSXV:DGO) (Frankfurt:86A1) (OTC:ATOXF), (the “Company” or “Durango“) is pleased to report that further to its news release dated August 27, 2020, the exploration team has discovered a two metre wide shear zone at surface on its Trove Property while preparing the drill site for its exploration program at Windfall Lake, Quebec.

Mechanical stripping commenced on the northeast extremity of the Trove Property to level and widen the access for the drill, exposing a two metre wide shear zone near Durango’s high priority drill targets. The shear zone appears to correlate with the geophysical anomalies and favourable IP signatures discovered in Durango’s previous exploration campaigns.

The trenching commenced as announced on August 27, 2020 and uncovered quartz veins at surface of over one metre in width. In addition to the quartz veining, visible rusty-coloured till is evident, which warrants the collection and analysis of additional till samples in the area. A photo of the till can be seen on Durango’s website in the newly established photo gallery under the “Windfall Lake Property” tab. https://durangoresourcesinc.com/projects/windfall-lake-properties-quebec/#windfall-photos&gid=1&pid=2

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, stated, “Durango is off to a great start on Phase I of its fall exploration program at Windfall Lake. In the first week of the program, the geological team has discovered a sizable shear zone, quartz veining at surface and rusty till near the initial drill targets. We continue to be very optimistic for Durango’s program at Windfall Lake and believe the upside potential for the Trove and East Barry properties is high. As we move through this fall program we look forward to the analysis of the field data as it is our intention to continue drilling into the winter.”

The technical contents of this press release were approved by George Yordanov, professional geologist, an Independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The Trove and East Barry properties have not yet been subject to an NI-43-101 report.

The Board of Directors has approved the grant of 3,000,000 stock options to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company. The options will be granted pursuant to the Company’s 10% rolling stock option plan with an exercise price of $0.125 per share for five years. The option grants are subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Trove, Quebec

Durango owns 100% interest in the Trove claims, which are surrounded by Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX: OSK), in the Windfall Lake area between Val d’Or and Chibougamau, Quebec. The 1,185 hectare property is compelling due to the coincidence of gold found in tills coinciding with magnetic highs, several Induced Polarization anomalies and two faults crosscutting the property. The fault systems north and south of the Trove, control gold mineralization elsewhere, indicating the Trove has excellent exploration potential. Durango received all the final drill permits for the Trove property in September 2019 and ready to undertake its inaugural drill program.

East Barry, Quebec

Durango owns 100% interest in the East Barry claims which run parallel to its Trove claims. The East Barry block is over 7,740 hectares in size and borders the eastern perimeter of Osisko’s holdings and the southern perimeter of Bonterra’s holdings and is less than 4km south of the Gladiator deposit. The East Barry claims host a gold trend which covers approximately 10km in length and is subparallel to the main Barry Fault held by Osisko. In 2018 a till sampling program was conducted and one of the till samples returned fourty-two (42) pristine gold grains with reported gold values of 2.184 g/t Au. A high count of pristine gold grains indicates that the gold has travelled a very short distance from its source. The East Barry block underwent an Induced Polarization survey in 2018 which identified a high priority target coincident with the high count of pristine gold grains.
