DURANGO COMMENCES DRILLING ON DECOUVERTE GOLD PROJECT

Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / July 11, 2018 - Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1)

(OTCQB-ATOXF), (the "Company" or "Durango") is pleased to report that further to the news release of

July 9, 2018, the Company has commenced drilling on its wholly-owned Découverte Gold Property located

120km north of Chibougamau, Québec.

The 2,400-meter program of diamond core drilling will test the Main Zone Nord, Main Zone Central and

Shear Zone 1 at Découverte.

“We have an outstanding drilling team, experienced geologists and field technicians on the ground,” says

Voormeij, the chief geologist. “Access to site is easy along the all-weather Route Nord and well-maintained

logging roads. The area we are drilling was recently clear cut, further facilitating access. The first diamond

drill hole hit the target as planned yesterday and we moved to the second hole this morning. We are on

schedule and I have every confidence in our success with this drilling campaign.”

Découverte is an orogenic gold quartz vein project located along the main shear trend of the Frotet-Troilus

greenstone belt, north of Chibougamau in the emerging gold district of Eeyou Istchee James Bay. The

project area is 60km2, is 100%-held by Durango , and has never been drilled before. Durango has been

preparing for this drill program for seve ral years, having completed a Fugro DIGHEM heli -borne survey,

soil & rock sampling, and ground geophysical magnetic & AMT surveys . Based on positive results, a

geological model was created that includes a gold-mineralized trend for the Main Zone that has a 1.6 km

strike length.

See news release dated January 16, 2018 for details on the proposed drill program.
