DURANGO LEVERAGES AI TECHNOLOGY TO ADVANCE BABINE WEST COPPER
GOLD EXPLORATION PROJECT
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / November 26, 2024 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V: DGO) (Frankfurt:
86A1) (OTCQB -ATOXF) (“Durango” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of an
innovative Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) driven technology company to enhance its exploration efforts at
the Babine West copper gold project, located in the highly prospective Babine porphyry belt of British
Columbia.
This advanced AI technology leverages government geophysical data, historical property and regional
information, and thousands of potential geological scenarios to pinpoint the highest -probability drill
targets. By providing precise, drill-ready targeting data, including depth, width, orientation, and optimal
drill locations, this approach significantly reduces the time, cost, and complexity associated with early -
stage exploration.
This AI exploration process involves approximately one day of data input followed by one to two weeks
of computation, delivering hyper -targeted geological insights in a fraction of the time required by
traditional methods. The AI technology is particularly effective in porphyry exploration, making it an ideal
fit for the Babine West Property.
Given recent discoveries and ongoing success in the Babine region, as well as the proximity of the
Company’s claims to notable projects such as the NAK and Duke deposits, Durango and its new technical
team have identified three high-priority target areas for initial focus. The Company intends to expand this
AI-based program across its entire property portfolio as part of its commitment to maximizing exploration
efficiency and potential for success.
The AI technology company engaged by Durango was founded and developed by two Stanford University
PhD’s specializing in geology and geophysics. Their innovative platform has already demonstrated proof
of concept, achieving significant results for other projects globally. The technology’s success in delivering
accurate, high -value exploration targets provides great promise in its potential to unlock value for
Durango’s shareholders.
Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango Resources, commented, “We are thrilled to integrate this new AI
technology into our exploration strategy. Durango’s Babine West project border is approximately 2km
from American Eagle’s NAK property discovery drillhole 23 -17 which returned 302.1m at 1.09% CuEq .
Deploying this new AI technology will accelerate our understanding of Babine West and help us move
rapidly toward impactful exploration results. Durango is continuing with its new corporate strategy, which
includes leveraging innovation to enhance value creation for shareholders.”
Further updates on the Babine West program and AI pilot project will be shared as they become available.

About the Babine West Copper Gold Project
The Babine West property covers three mineral claims and is bordering the west side of American
Eagle’s NAK property (TSXV-AE) and borders Amarc Resources’ Duke Property (TSXV-AHR).

American Eagle has encountered significant drill intervals of high-grade gold and copper mineralization
at NAK. Amarc’s Duke Property covers 722km2 in the “DUKE District”, which hosts the DUKE Deposit,
which is open to expansion, and includes a series of deposit-scale exploration targets.
The geology of the Babine West claims consists of a granodiorite stock containing phases of quartz
monzonite and hornblende biotite feldspar porphyry of the Eocene Babine Intrusion. These cut grey,
locally graphitic siltstones of the Middle to Upper Jurassic Ashman Formation. Stratified intermediate
composition tuffs and/or greywacke and mudstone with minor silicification and some graded
sandstones occur locally. The units are locally and strongly fractured and cemented with quartz and/or
pyrite. Thus far pyrite has been identified in six outcrops and chalcopyrite in one at Durango’s Babine
West Property.
