- Water Security Agency of Saskatchewan has granted permission for Durango to dewater Pit#1 on its wholly owned Dianna Lake Silver Project in northern Saskatchewan
Vancouver, BC / May 11, 2017 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (OTC- ATOXF) (Frankfurt-86A1), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces that further to the news release dated May 2, 2017, the Water Security Agency of Saskatchewan has granted permission for Durango to dewater Pit#1 on its wholly owned Dianna Lake Silver Project in northern Saskatchewan.
As previously announced on September 6, 2016, Durango’s team was successful in locating and mapping nearly all historical drill holes, pits, and trenches. In addition, several new silver, copper, and gold-bearing showings were discovered during the 2016 reconnaissance program. The program encountered high-grade silver and copper anomalies which were taken in channel samples from the main zone of historic workings and grab samples from the surrounding areas.
Durango management is preparing a follow-up program for the Dianna Lake property in 2017 which will entail further investigation of the anomalies discovered in 2016 and will also include work on historical Pit#1 (see news releases of July 13, 2016 and September 6, 2016). In 2016, Pit #1 was flooded with water, however, based on historical documentation, the highest-grade silver material was recovered from this historic pit. Now that Durango has the go ahead to dewater Pit#1, the Company plans to fully sample the pit in the upcoming 2017 exploration campaign.
Durango is currently in discussions with its exploration team and more definitive timing on the 2017 summer exploration program at Dianna Lake will be announced as soon as it is available

About Dianna Lake Silver, Saskatchewan
Durango’s Dianna Lake silver prospect covers an 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 ten ounces per ton silver, approximately 600 meters apart, were determined by trench grab sample assays, according to an 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.
