DURANGO REPORTS ANOMALOUS GOLD IN TILL & SOIL AT WINDFALL, QC
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / May 30, 2018 - Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1)
(OTCQB-ATOXF), (the " Company" or " Durango") is pleased to report the results from a till sampling
program executed in late November 2017 on its wholly owned Windfall Lake properties. The assays
established aurif erous area s representing new explorations targets. The gold mineralization in the
Windfall area is structurally controlled by a northeast trending deformation corridors.
In the fall of 2017, Durango sent an exploration crew to conduct a till sand/gravel (“till”) sampling program
on certain blocks of claims in the Windfall Lake area of Quebec. All samples were obtained from Durango's
northern blocks which neighbor Osisko Mining Inc. (TS X.V-OSK) and were deemed priority due to being
cut by cross cutting fault systems striking towards the Windfall Lake main mineralized system. Five blocks
of claims ware visited and sampled in November 2017.
Thirty-six (36) 5kg till and thirty-six (36) duplicate soil samples were collected , analyzed for fine fraction
analysis, and sampled for gold grain count and dense fraction. Of the 36 till samples taken from the area,
17 samples representing 47% of the samples collected returned gold grains, and 25 till samples of the
multi-element assays reported gold anomalies between 5 ppb and 3480 ppb representing 74% of the
samples collected.
Another analytical method was completed on the samples which is called the HMC (heavy mineral
concentrate) where the lab separates the heavy minerals and analyze the concentrate of non -magnetic
heavy minerals. The highest calculated ppb visible gold in HM C was 403 ppb in sample DGT -17 which is
very intriguing due to the size of the sample. T hirteen additional samples reported gold anomalies with
values ranging between 3 and 85 ppb of gold with the HMC method of analysis.
Particle shapes of the gold grains are commonly used to identify the distance to a gold source a nd has
been a successful method of exploration in the Windfall Lake Gold Camp. Ninety-nine per cent (99%) of
the gold grains have reshaped morphology, which indicate that the grain(s) were transported by the glacial
till. The dominant glacial ice flow around Windfall Lake is south-west (N210° - N230°) (Prest et al. 1976,
Parent et al. 1995, Fulton 1995). Most of the material collected was basal till resulting of subglacial
transport and deposition. The dispersion length of gold signals in basal till is usually less than 1 kilometer.
A duplicate of heavy mineral concentrate for each till sample for each station was sent for a complete 36
elements assay analysis. Twenty five of the 36 samples returned anomalous gold values and fifteen of the
samples returned values of between 5ppb and 100ppb gold. The highest returned gold anomalies from
the analysis returned as follows: 3480 ppb Au (sample DGT-30), 1160 ppb Au (sample DGT -17), 425 ppb
Au (sample DGT-18), 305 ppb Au (sample DGT-27), 160 ppb (sample DGT-26), and 121 ppb (samples DGT-
10 and DGT-8.
The area with the highest reported results of 3,480 ppb gold may be further developed into an exploration
target. A second phase of till sampling and a mapping/rock sampling program are expected to be
completed on the balance of the property in the beginning of June 2018. The road access is well developed
in the area, which should allow for a good overview of the surrounding property once the snow melts.
Mr. George Yordanov, P.Geo. commented, “Immediate mapping and till sampling w ith grid spacing of
100m on one of Durango’s north blocks is required as soon as possible followed by Induced Polarization
(IP) survey as more than 60% of the sampling completed on this block returned anomalous gold results.”
