About the Babine South Gold-Silver-Copper-Zinc Project
The Babine South Gold -Silver-Copper-Zinc Project is a 100% -owned exploration property of Durango Resources Inc.,
situated in the Babine Porphyry Belt, north of Smithers, British Columbia. Encompassing approximately 1,070 hectares
across two mineral claims, the property hosts historical silver adits from the 1920s and 1930s, with records indicating the
production of 94 kilograms of silver from trenching activities. The geological setting features Cache Creek Group
greenstones, where mineralization occurs in quartz-carbonate veins and shears within foliated greenstone (amphibolite).
Notable minerals identified include argentiferous galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite, argentite, chalcopyrite, native silver,
pyrrhotite, and pyrite. Recent sampling efforts have yie lded significant assay results, with values up to 3.39 grams per
tonne gold, 3430 grams per tonne (110.3 oz/t) silver, 8.86% zinc, and 1% copper, underscoring the property’s potential
for hosting an epithermal polymetallic deposit. Additionally, the presen ce of ultramafic rocks such as peridotite,
pyroxenite, and dunite suggests potential for nickel and platinum group element (PGE) mineralization, aligning with
Durango’s focus on critical metals exploration.

About Critical Metals
Critical metals are essential components in modern technologies, including renewable energy systems, defense
applications, and advanced electronics. Both the United States and Canada have identified specific lists of critical minerals
vital to their econom ic and national security. The U.S. Geological Survey’s 2022 list includes 50 critical minerals, while
Canada in 2024 has designated 34 minerals as critical.
Recent geopolitical developments have heightened concerns over the supply chain security of these critical metals. China,
which holds a dominant position in the production and processing of several critical minerals, has implemented export
bans affecting the West. These actions underscore the strategic importance of diversifying supply chains and developing
domestic sources for critical metals to mitigate geo-political risks and ensure the stability of essential industries.
Melanie Mackay, PGeo, EGBC (Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia) 35256, APEGA (Association of
