GOLDCORP TAKES INTEREST IN CLAIMS NEAR DURANGO’S DECOUVERTE PROPERTY

Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / May 4, 2018 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1)

(OTCQB-ATOXF), (the “Company” or “ Durango”) is pleased to announce that Goldcorp Inc. is making a

$3.7M strategic investment in the James Bay Territory of Quebec to create a new exploration company.

As announced on April 26, 2018, Canada Strategic Metals (TSX.V -CJC) and Matamec Explorations Inc.

(TSX.V-MAT) have agreed to a business combination by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the

“Arrangement”) and will become a new gold focused exploration company to be named Quebec Precious

Metals Corporation (“ QPM”). In connection with the Arrangement, Goldcorp Inc. will invest $3.7M to

acquire a 14% interest in QPM.

Also, in connection with the Arrangement, QPM will acquire three gold projects of Sphinx Resources Ltd.

(TSX.V-SFX) by way of an asset purchase including a 100% interest in the Chemin Troilus project, which is

northeast of Durango’s Decouverte Property en route to the past producing Troilus mine.

Durango’s Decouverte Property in James Bay, Quebec had an independent technical review completed as

reported January 16, 2018, which supports a drilling program of 3,800 metres across 36 holes. Six target

areas are defined on the property, each ranging from 100 metres to 400 metres along strike. Due to the

previous exploration evidence of a well -preserved gold system, Durango is expecting to test drill these

targets this summer.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango stated, “James Bay is considered a highly prospective new gold camp by

the majors, with such quality deposits as Goldcorp's multimillion-ounce Eleonore, Eastmain's Clearwater

and La Grande Sud . We are intrigued by the compelling geology at Decouverte and are excited that

Goldcorp is supporting exploration and moving closer to our project. We look forward to drilling in the

area this summer as we continue to advance the Decouverte property.”
