DURANGO INCREASES LAND POSITION AT DIANNA LAKE DUE TO RECENT POSITIVE RESULTS
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / December 20, 2017 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the
“Company” or “Durango”) announces that further to its news of December 18, 2017, it has acquired via
online st aking an additional 477 hectares surrounding its wholly owned Dianna Lake, S askatchewan
property.
The mineralization zone encountered is enriched by silver, gold, cobalt, copper, mercury, nickel, lead, zinc,
rhenium, scandium, antimony, tungsten and Rare Earth Element s, and depleted by aluminum, calcium,
potassium, and natrium.
Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, further commented, “Due to the great success of the latest exploration
program where high-grade silver, copper and cobalt were discovered, management decided additional
ground surrounding the property would permit room for potential expansion on the Dianna Lake property.
Our team is focused on a follow-up exploration program at Dianna Lake when weather permits in the
coming months.”
About the Dianna Lake property, Saskatchewan
Durango's Dianna Lake silver property covers a historical area in which, from 1968 to 1969, two high -
grade, primarily native, silver -bearing exploration targets of between 30,000 tonnes and 50,000 tonnes
grading five to 10 ounces per ton silver, approximately 600 metres apart, were determined by trench grab
sample assays, according to a historical evaluation report composed for Comaplex Resources in 1980* (1).
* Potential quantities and grades are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to
define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated
as a mineral resource.
Additionally, th e main silver -bearing zone is spatially associated with a large zone of low -grade,
disseminated copper-silver mineralization in which drilling of two IP anomalies indicated approximately
five million tonnes averaging 0.4 ounce per ton silver and 0.4 per ce nt copper (undefined category
historical resource estimate, undocumented method), according to the same report** (1).
** A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral
resources or mineral reserves, a nd Durango is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral
resources or reserves. The historical estimates use categories other than those required by the Canadian
Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum and National Instrument 43 -101. Fur ther research and
exploration work must be carried out to verify all historical information before a resource estimate is
possible.
Previous work on the claims was reported in 1969, 1980 and 1998, and included diamond drill holes,
trenches and pits primarily across two zones where mineralization was identified at or near surface . ***
One zone was reported to have five trenches exposing silver -copper mineralization over approximately
80 metres. Historical grab samples from pit No. 1 of this zone included values of 2,458.4, 684.4, 647.4,
600.2, 464.2 and 454.8 ounces per tonne silver. Out of 18 grab samples, 13 samples assayed between 185
ounces per ton ne silver and 2,458.4 ounces per ton ne silver. Pit No. 2 grab samples returned reported
highs of 298 ounce s per ton silver and 197 ounces per ton ne silver (out of seven samples ranging from
12.2 ounces per ton silver to 298 ounces per ton ne silver) (1). The Company cautions that grab samples
are selective and may not be representative of the mineralization on the property.
*** A qualified person has not done sufficient work to verify, analyze and test the data underlying the
previously filed government work reports created for the property. The historical information and data is
being used for information purpo ses only until it can be verified by the Company through additional
exploration work.
The technical contents of this release were approved by George Yordanov, P.Geo, a “qualified person” as
defined by National Instrument 43 -101. The property has not yet been the subject of a National
Instrument 43-101 report.
