DURANGO ASSESSES MAYNER’S FORTUNE LIMESTONE PROPERTY IN BC
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / November 2, 2017 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the
“Company” or “Durango”) recently completed a site visit to its wholly owned Mayner’s Fortune Limestone
project in northern British Columbia to prepare for an expected drill campaign.
The property is located approximately 7.5km southwest of Terrace, BC along the Canadian National
Railway route between Terrace and Kitimat and hosts six historically mapped sub parallel limestone units.
The crew visited limestone units #1, 4, 5 and 6 during its recent visit to the 375-hectare property. The
purpose of the visit was to take structural measurements and evaluate targets for a potential drill
program.
Durango has now received a preliminary report which includes a recommended drill program for
limestone unit #5 based on the lithological defined contacts between the limestone, the intrusive units
and dikes to prove up limestone tonnage and consistency. A program of approximately 1,100 meters has
been recommended for the #5 limestone unit.
Historical reports state limestone unit #5 is expected to host the lowest purity of calcium carbonate due
to the nearby dikes and intrusive units , however recent visits show that 62% of the samples taken are
composed by high purity limestone superior to 96.3%. Unit #5 measures 1.6km long and Durango is
interested in determining the calcium carbonate levels at depth to gain an understanding of the potential
size of unit #5. Once the drilling is completed a tonnage can be estimated for unit #5 and then Durango
plans to drill limestone units #1 and #3 which are known to be high quality and a generous size.
Historical reports of the Mayner’s occurrence (unit #1 in the series of limestone beds), stated the si ze
measurements at surface of “108m x 30m” and while visiting the property recently the Durango geological
team assessed and measured two separate sections observed along the railway being:
• Section 1 - 120m long and 12-17m thick striking 325/45 with gabbro at the base; and
• Section 2 - 192m long and 20-25m thick striking 324/47 with gabbro at the base.
Historical “inferred reserves for the 10 mile zone measure d 454,000 tonnes grading 96.3% limestone” *
which seems probable based on the observations from the recent site visit. Representative samples taken
from outcrop sections of the Mayner’s Fortune occurrence from the recent visit assayed calcium
carbonate levels at 97.6%.

a National Instrument 43-101 report.
