Durango Resources (TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTCQB -ATOXF) is an exploration company in search of a gold discovery in 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.
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. They continue to encounter significant mineralization through drilling and used 19 drills in 2020, surrounding 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. The Trove and East Barry properties show high probability of having gold in multiple areas, the Discovery property has permits for 15 exploration drillholes and received drill permits for its wholly-owned NMX East Property located near Nemaska, Québec.
Durango is backed by a regionally experienced technical staff that have made their own discoveries in Quebec, 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. 2021 is the year Durango makes a discovery of their own in Quebec, aligning them with Bonterra, Osisko and Troilus for the markets attention.
Here are the 3 things you need to know
1. Drilling at East Barry Returned Silver and Gold in Granite
The East Barry Property is located south of Windfall Lake and adjoins both Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX-OSK) and Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-BTR) in the Abitibi Greenstone belt which to date has produced over 200M ounces of gold. Durango wholly owns the 7,740-hectare East Barry Property which runs parallel to its wholly owned Trove Property at Windfall Lake, Québec.
The East Barry Property hosts a crosscutting fault system striking towards Windfall Lake lending the project great discovery potential.
The purpose of the initial East Barry drill campaign was to gain an understanding of the geology in the area and to identify the structure, dip, and fertility of the rock. The outcrop on the East Barry Property is limited and virtually no historical exploration has occurred on the property prior to the recent work completed by Durango. To date, knowledge of the area has been based solely on the geophysical surveys and till sampling completed by Durango.
Previous till surveys identified a gold trend of up to 10 km with gold assays reaching up to 2.19 g/t Au
Durango’s exploratory drill holes were conducted as an initial step to help identify a prospective target for the source of the gold in the till, given the limited outcrop at surface.
2. Wholly Owned Discovery Property
Durango owns 100% interest in the Discovery claims, which are adjacent Osisko Mining Inc. and are 60km away from Troilus Gold Inc.’s past producing mine. located on strike to the southwest of the past producing Troilus Gold mine owned by Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX-TLG) and neighbours UrbanGold Minerals Inc. (TSXV-UGM).
Durango’s technical team has prepared tentative summer exploration plan for the Discovery Property.
The 6,700-hectare project is geologically compelling and Durango has permits for 15 exploration drill holes. Prior exploration sampled 7.6 and 6.2 g/t gold surface samples previously obtained on the Discovery property. Durango’s exploration team plans to visit the Discovery Property in 2021.
The Company will provide more details and timing on the Discovery Property visit as they become available.
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 a tremendous amount 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%. 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, including the recent announcement of Ms. Joanna Cameron to its board of directors.

Xali Gold ( XGC:TSXV ) has assembled a Western Mexico project portfolio of gold assets and have developed a strategy for organic growth to exploit its Flagship Gold Project El Oro, a prolific high-grade gold-silver epithermal vein system.
Xali has acquired gold and silver projects with near surface exploration potential & near-term production potential:
El Dorado Gold-Silver Project:
Rights to the El Dorado gold and silver historic mines was the initial step in this strategy, providing Xali the right to explore and produce gold, silver and other metals for life of mine.
Cocula Gold Project: profit-sharing agreement
Near term, low cost production potential by leaching and/or flotation
Retain 70% of profits
Recent drill targets Identified
Acquisition of the “SDA” Plant:
The SDA Mill is a fully operational flotation plant which also includes a precious metals leach circuit – Merrill Crowe system and associated assets, licenses and agreements, suitable for treating high grade gold and silver mineralization.
These assets are being positioned to create cash flow to develop Flagship El Oro Gold District where the primary focus is the past producing San Rafael Vein; 2.4km strike of high-grade Epithermal veins.
The project covers 20 veins with past production and more than 57 veins in total and approximately 6.4 million ounces of gold and 74 million ounces of silver were reported to have been produced from just two of these veins. Historical Average grades: 10-12 g/t gold & 120-160 g/t silver
Xali has identified 31 exploration targets
Flooding in one section of the San Rafael vein in 1929 resulted in the other two sections flooding and work ceasing abruptly and unexpectedly. El Oro was not mined out. The financial benefits from Western Mexico operations will translate across platforms to strengthen the Company’s efforts to explore and potentially mine areas demonstrated to contain mineralization of value
Chief Medical Officer Dr. Reid Robison explains the three pillars of Ketamine therapy and the steps we take to prevent misuse.
“I’ve never had a client who we’ve done the appropriate process with who has entered into a troubled relationship with ketamine through the course of their treatment.”
Our Chief Medical Officer joins Health Professional Radio to discuss psychedelic medicine and our rapid expansion phase as we grow our network of clinics, research sites and therapeutic retreats specialized in psychedelic medicine.
“We’re expanding even more with the need that has come up through the pandemic and the willingness to look towards new and improved ways of approaching our mental health”
We are pleased to announce that we have submitted our application to have our common shares posted for trading on the OTCQB® Venture Market, a U.S. trading platform operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc.
“Having the Company’s common shares posted for trading on the OTCQB and providing a more efficient way of trading our shares will be an important milestone in our strategy of building awareness and enhancing accessibility amongst United States investors looking for exposure to the growth potential of Novamind’s mental health and psychedelic medicine business,” said Yaron Conforti, CEO and Director of Novamind.
A groundbreaking Yale study has uncovered a new dimension in understanding how psychedelics affect us: with small, physical changes to the brain. The study tracked how psilocybin, the active molecule in psychedelic mushrooms, not only has significant and long-lasting effects on mood but actually stimulates growth of new neuronal connections within the brain.
Governments around the world accelerated the clinical research process to develop vaccines for the Covid-19 health crisis. So why can’t we do the same for drugs to treat the mental health crisis? Monnica Williams and Morgan Campbell argue the point in the Baltimore Sun, comparing the investment in mental health treatment with physical health treatment: Investment in psychiatric therapies has remained very low compared to the burden of diseases, with $1.80 per $1,000 in disease burden for major depression and $0.40 for bipolar disorder compared to $9.40 for COPD, $7.60 for diabetes and $75.50 for cancer.
The popularity of using ketamine as a psychedelic treatment is only growing, according to ABC News. Less than 60 ketamine clinics existed in the United States in 2015. In 2018, that number climbed to over 300. With over 7,000 ketamine treatments to date, Novamind remains one of the busiest and most experienced ketamine practices in America.
Michael Pollan, the award-winning journalist who wrote “How to Change Your Mind,” a comprehensive examination of psychedelics history and his personal experience, is back. His new book contrasts the effects of three plant-based substances: caffeine, opium and mescaline. His section on mescaline further destigmatizes psychedelics through a critical and journalistic lens.
In this episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, Dr. Reid Robison, Dr. Steve Thayer, and Derick Moody, PA-C discuss whether or not the mystical experience caused by many psychedelic medicines is a necessary factor for the healing they promote.
Microdose covers ketamine’s history as an off-label treatment for depression, the FDA approval of Spravatoᵀᴹ (esketamine) and what the future looks like for these drugs. CEO Yaron Conforti and CMO Dr. Reid Robison were both interviewed for the article.
“Cost and accessibility are universal challenges we face in our healthcare system, and these will also apply to psilocybin, MDMA, and nearly every drug that comes to market, at least during the initial years of patent exclusivity,” said Robison.
We are pleased to announce that our wholly owned subsidiary, Cedar Clinical Research has been selected as a research site for a study titled “A phase IIb, randomized, double blind, two arm study to investigate the effects of BNC210 tablet formulation compared to placebo in adults with post-traumatic stress disorder”.
“This clinical trial leverages CCR’s established track record studying novel treatments for PTSD and other difficult to treat mental health conditions.” said Dr. Reid Robison, Chief Medical Officer of Novamind.
Larger and stronger neural connections. According to new research out of Yale, it’s all about the increased density of dendritic spines. “Small protrusions found on nerve cells which aid in the transmission of information between neurons. Chronic stress and depression are known to reduce the number of these neuronal connections.” If psilocybin can create larger and stronger neural connections, the potential for treating depression and creating lasting change improves significantly.
While “there have been no research studies in humans showing that LSD can treat allergies of any kind” one patent application hopes that one day LSD will be able to treat food allergies. The article references a story about a claim (not research- or evidence-based) that LSD cured a lifelong cat allergy and goes into more detail about the patent process and what might stand in the way of this one getting approved. “It’s based on luck.” And it’s another entrant to the race to patent psychedelics.

Fabled Silver Gold (FCO TSXV) ( FBSGF: OTC ) controls 100% of the Santa Maria mine gold and silver property in Mexico. It is a high grade silver gold property that is situated right in the middle of the Mexican Epithermal silver gold belt that has reportedly produced more silver than any other equivalent area in the entire planet.
To say it’s a mining friendly jurisdiction is an understatement.
Multiple major operators are in the vicinity and it’s already got a silver equivalent 43-101 of 3.2m ounces, but is looking to add to that significantly with recent intercepts of 2269 g/t silver.
That is not a typo, in other words it is also 2.269 kilos AgEq or 72 troy ounce.
Just recently, Fabled encountered a new, previously unknown gold zone with the discovery of a new high grade gold system with values up 10.85 g/t Au within 30.7m grading 161.09 Ag Eq
This quote from Peter J. Hawley, CEO and President sums up the future potential aptly:
……“ we have found a new, never discovered high grade gold mineral domain system, with silver credits, over consistent widths in an area never explored, and which remains open to the west and at depth, plunging 45 degrees to the west and open in all directions for expansion.
Recent underground diamond drilling also intercepted 4 Zones of Silver Mineralization including 314.35 g/t Ag Eq over 0.80m.
Fabled is intent on proving Santa Maria is bigger and of potentially higher grade than the market understands and is well on its way with intercepts such as these.
Sit back with your favorite beverage as Peter Hawley explains the importance of the latest discovery within the context of the Fabled corporate presentation
The Santa Maria Project is poised to deliver as exploration continues to deliver discoveries through both above and underground drill programs.
