DURANGO BEGINS DRILLING AT EAST BARRY, WINDFALL LAKE
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / January 13, 2021 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTCQB -ATOXF), (the “Company” or “Durango”) is pleased to announce that further to the news release of January 8, 2021, drilling is underway on its wholly owned East Barry property at Windfall Lake, Québec.
The purpose of the East Barry Property drilling is to test high priority exploration targets coincident with elevated till anomalies of up to 2.19 g/t gold and pristine gold grains in till trend. The drilling commenced on schedule on the East Barry Property and has reached approximately 300m depth on the first hole so far.
Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, stated, “The drill team from Faubert & Fils Inc. are off to a great start on the East Barry Property and are drilling faster than scheduled. We are excited to finally be testing the large target anomaly on the East Barry Property and searching for the source of the gold grains in till to create value for Durango’s shareholders.”
The technical contents of this press release were approved by George Yordanov, professional geologist, an Independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Neither the Trove Property or the East Barry Property have been subject to an NI-43-101 report.
East Barry Property, Québec
Durango owns 100% interest in the East Barry claims which run parallel to Trove claims. The East Barry block is over 7,740 hectares in size and borders the eastern perimeter of Osisko’s holdings and the southern perimeter of Bonterra’s holdings and is less than 4km south of the Gladiator deposit. The East Barry claims host a gold trend which covers approximately 10km in length and is subparallel to the main Barry Fault held by Osisko Mining. In 2018, a till sampling program was conducted by Durango and one of the till samples returned forty-two (42) pristine gold grains with reported gold values of 2.184 g/t Au. A high count of pristine gold grains indicates that the gold has travelled a very short distance from its source. The East Barry block underwent an Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey in 2018 which identified a high priority target coincident with the high count of pristine gold grains.
