  • Announced that upon further review of historic data on the Nemaska area, the Company has further refined targets for its upcoming exploration program at its NMX East property in northern Quebec
  • Three parallel signatures were found to occur clearly on the Durango property in both the gradiometric and total field magnetic surveys.

Vancouver, BC / June 2, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango“) announces that upon further review of historic data on the Nemaska area, the Company has further refined targets for its upcoming exploration program at its NMX East property in northern Quebec.

Based on observations from gradiometric and total field magnetic surveys conducted on the area in 2011, several geophysical signatures have been found on the property which coincide with mapped pegmatites from the 2011 Tucana Lithium technical report on the Abigail property (1)(2). These geophysical signatures appear to extend eastward from Nemaska Lithium’s Whabouchi property.

Three parallel signatures were found to occur clearly on the Durango property in both the gradiometric and total field magnetic surveys. Two of these signatures were confirmed in Tucana Lithium’s 2011 report to be coincident with pegmatite outcropping at surface, while the third was not mapped (1). Furthermore, one of the signatures appears to lie directly along strike with the Whabouchi deposit.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, comments, “There has been extensive staking in the Nemaska area over the past few months, while work programs in the area are beginning to commence. Our approach has been to compile and reinterpret all available materials prior to commencing work in an effort to make Durango’s upcoming exploration program in Nemaska as efficient as possible and to provide the best chance of discovery.”

The technical contents of this release were approved by Mr. Case Lewis, 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.

Durango Announces Update, Generates New Targets At Whitney Northwest $DGO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:57 AM on Monday, May 16th, 2016

Logo

  • Announced an update on historic research on its 100%-owned Whitney Northwest claims near Timmins, Ontario
  • Research into historic drilling on the property has revealed that four of the reverse circulation holes drilled on the property for the purposes of till sampling were reported to intersect possible mafic metavolcanics at their termini
  • Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, comments, “…research has indicated promising targets for gold mineralization at Durango’s Whitney NW project were also identified but never drilled….”

Vancouver, BC / May 16, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango”) is pleased to announce an update on historic research on its 100%-owned Whitney Northwest claims near Timmins, Ontario. Based on this new research, Durango has outlined a series of new targets for its upcoming exploration program.

Research into historic drilling on the property has revealed that four of the reverse circulation holes drilled on the property for the purposes of till sampling were reported to intersect possible mafic metavolcanics at their termini (3). Metavolcanics are a known host to mineralization at both the Bell Creek Mine, located 3.5 kilometres to the southeast, and the Whitney property, located 6 kilometres to the southeast. These drill holes were targeting the till layer and only penetrated up to 1-2 metres into the underlying bedrock (3). Therefore, the true thickness of these metavolcanic units is yet unknown.

At the nearby Bell Creek Mine, gold mineralization occurs near or along mafic to ultramafic contact zones, and within the mafic volcanic sequence (1). Similarly, at the Whitney property, the Hallnor and Broulan Reef deposits straddle the unconformity between Timiskaming assemblage metasediments to the south, and Tisdale assemblage metavolcanics to the north. Gold mineralization at the Whitney property is associated with several styles of vein structures and as minute gold inclusions in sulphide minerals at or near the contact between the Timiskaming sediments and mafic to ultramafic volcanic rocks (2).

Furthermore, analysis of the historic till sampling results has shown that 10 out of the 34 holes drilled in the till sampling program returned gold values in till intervals directly overlying the bedrock, including the significant till sample which assayed 15.0 g/t Au over a 2.6 metre interval. (3)(4)

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, comments, “Durango continues to provide shareholders with opportunities for discovery. Research of past work identified the ground had been held and worked by Moneta Porcupine mines for several decades, and significant gold results in till were returned. Now, research has indicated promising targets for gold mineralization at Durango’s Whitney NW project were also identified but never drilled. It is a high priority for us to determine the true thickness of these potential metavolcanic intervals and to determine their viability as a host to mineralization.”

  • Announced that it has applied via GESTIM online staking for additional claims in the Nemaska region
  • Now bringing its land holdings close to 3,000 hectares in the region, in addition to the 700-hectare land package under the joint venture arrangement announced by Durango on April 28, 2016

Vancouver, BC / May 5, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces that it has applied via GESTIM online staking for additional claims in the Nemaska region, bringing its land holdings close to 3,000 hectares in the region, in addition to the 700-hectare land package under the joint venture arrangement announced by Durango on April 28, 2016.

Included in Durango’s land holdings are claims hosting mapped pegmatites as well as lake sediment samples in one claim group assaying 17.7ppm Li (1) Li, 15.4 ppm Li (2) 11.9ppm Li (3), and 10.2ppm Li (4). In comparison, a lake sediment sample taken from the Nemaska Lithium Whabouchi property in the same survey returned 10.9 ppm Li (5).

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, comments, “Our research and recent site visit have given us evidence to support the potential for lithium-bearing pegmatites on Durango’s land. Durango is expected to complete its NI 43-101 report shortly and will undertake a sampling program on the mapped pegmatites on the balance of the claims. The Company will keep investors updated as the exploration program develops for these claims in due course.”

LCT pegmatites, such as the pegmatite hosting the Whabouchi deposit, typically occur in groups, which consist of tens to hundreds of individuals and cover areas up to a few tens of square kilometres. Highly mobile elements such as lithium, rubidium, and cesium, and volatile components like boron and fluorine tend to alter the adjacent country rocks during LCT pegmatite emplacement. (6)

  • -An additional cash payment of $50,000 CAD payable to the Company together with $100,000 CAD in exploration expenditures must be completed with a report acceptable for filing with the Quebec government by November 2016 to earn a 25% interest in the projects.
  • -Upon BCA completing a listing on a publicly recognized stock exchange or upon BCA completing a capital raising of not less than A$1 million, whichever is sooner, Durango will receive an additional cash payment of $100,000 CAD together with 1,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in BCA, at which point Durango will transfer a further 75% of the projects to BCA.
  • -BCA will commit to spending a minimum of $2,000,000 CAD in exploration over a five (5) year period on the projects, with minimum expenditures each year to satisfy Quebec Ministry of Mines minimum work program requirements and fees to keep all claims in good standing.

In the event that BCA terminates the agreement it will return the claims to the Company with a minimum of twelve (12) months of good standing from the termination date.

Upon completion of the transfer of projects, Durango will be granted a 2% NSR that can be converted into a 10% free equity interest within six (6) months of the completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study on either of the Projects, with such conversion being at the absolute discretion of the Company. If Durango does not elect to convert the initial 2% NSR into the 10% free carried equity interest within 6 months of completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study, then Durango will retain only the initial 2% NSR and have no other equity interests in the Project or the joint venture.

BCA will have the right to purchase the 2% NSR from Durango for the consideration of $500,000 CAD which may be paid by cash or shares at the election of the Company, subject to regulatory approvals.
