DURANGO DRILLING RETURNS LITHIUM ON THE DISCOVERY PROPERTY, QUEBEC

Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / December 12, 2022 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1)

(OTCQB -ATOXF), (the “ Company” or “ Durango”) announces that further to the news of August 2, 2022, the

Company has begun to receive assays for its summer exploration campaign on its wholly owned Discovery

Property (the “Property”) in Québec.

The Discovery Property adjoins Sayona Min ing Ltd. (ASX-SYA) in the highly prospective James Bay Territory,

100km north of Chibougamau, Québec in the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt. On July 6, 2022, Durango announced

the completion of a 1,737m exploration drill campaign in an area with known gold anomalies on the Discovery

Property. Six exploratory holes were completed ranging from dep ths of 150m to 402m and the drill c ore is still

undergoing assaying.

To date, partial results have come in for holes 1, 2, and 4. The Company is pleased to report that elevated lithium,

rubidium, and cesium have been intersected in each of the three hole s assayed despite uneconomic gold values.

Lithium bearing pegmatite pods have been intersected in each of the three drill holes assayed and values up to

748ppm lithium, 3,830ppm rubidium and 436ppm cesium have been reported . Elevated copper and zinc were

also present in all three holes , reaching up to 2,100 ppm copper and up to 4, 740ppm zinc. Ten pegmatite dykes

were mapped at surface this year in a relatively small area of the property with lengths ranging from a few

meters to 55 meters in length. These dykes have not yet been tested at depth.

A sample of the pegmatite hosting lithium in DDH2.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango stated, “ We have found exciting gold anomalies at surface in quartz veining at

the Discovery p roject which is more interesting now that we also have pegmatite intersections and lithium

anomalies in each drillhole. The r ecent drillhole assays combined with the potential for additional pegmatite

dykes on the Discovery proper ty is encouraging. The li thium intersection seems logical since the Discovery

Property is proximal to the Moblan l ithium deposit which hosts over 12Mt @ 1.4% Li 20. The Discovery Property

will require further attention from our technical team as the balance of the assays are received.”

At the time of this ne ws release, Durango is still waiting on approximately half of its assays on the Disc overy

Property and further updates and results will be announced on the Discovery Property as they become available.
