Vancouver, BC / October 5, 2015 – Durango Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Durango”) is pleased to announce it has acquired a 100% interest in 3 claim blocks adjacent to, and near, Equitas Resources Corporations’ (TSX.V-EQT) Labrador Ni/Cu project.

One claim block is located adjacent to, and to the northwest of, anomaly D of the Equitas Garland property which is located approximately 30km southeast of Vale’s Voisey’s Bay mine. On September 23, 2015 Equitas Resources Corp. announced via www.sedar.com, “Springdale Forest Products has commenced drilling with borehole GP15-001. This NQ borehole is designed to test VTEM Anomaly D, part of a two-kilometre trend of variable conductivity, coincident with a nickel-copper-cobalt lake sediment anomaly and resident in an east-west structure of the Gardar-Voisey’s Bay fault set.”

Two other claim blocks, described below, are approximately 90km to the north of Voisey’s Bay, and have historic work results reported.

E ZONE

One claim block covers the “E” Zone, where National Mineral Inventory Number (NMIN): 14E/01/Ni 002, Record ID Number: 4499, reports wide, deep, intersections of “disseminated to massive sulphide layering” including: drill intersections of 12.9 m of 0.24% Ni, 0.20% Cu, and 0.06% Co, and 54 m of 0.4% Ni, 0.43% Cu and 0.11% Co. It is not stated in the report if the second intersection is continuous like the first one (Canadian States Resources, PR, August 21, 1996). “Generally, the grades are higher than those from the adjacent Cirque (NMI File No. 14E/01/Ni003), although such comparisons may be complicated by differences in averaging techniques (Kerr and Smith, 1997).”

KRINOR

Another claim block covers the occurrence known as “Krinor”, NMIN: 14E/01/Ni 008 Record ID Number: 4511, “The best assay (probably a grab sample) from the property was 1.31% Ni, 0.52% Cu and 0.21% Co (Castle Rock Exploration, PR, October 4, 1995). Geophysical surveys were conducted during the summer of 1996, and diamond drilling commenced in mid-August 1996. According to the NMIN file no information was released at that time concerning drilling results, but three holes intersected sulphide mineralization, over widths up to 14 m. (J. O’Sullivan, personal communication, 1997) (Kerr and Smith, 1997).”

Further due diligence evaluation of historic data, derived mainly from the Voisey’s Bay discovery and subsequent staking rush and exploration follow up by the many companies involved, will be carried out over the next few months.

In consideration for 100% interest in the properties, with no net smelter royalty, the Company will issue one million shares to an arm’s length vendor, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The shares will be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance.

The technical and scientific data in this news release was approved by Mr. Peter Dimmell, P.Geo. (NL, ON, SK, QC(SP), a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
