Durango to Begin Exploration Program at Windfall Lake
Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire – August 27, 2020 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSXV:DGO) (Frankfurt:86A1) (OTC:ATOXF), (the » Company » or » Durango « ) is pleased to report that further to its news released dated July 15, 2020, the exploration team is preparing to mobilize to its Windfall Lake properties .
Mechanical stripping and sampling will commence immediately on the northeast extremity of the Trove Property along Durango’s high priority drill targets controlled by the NE-SW Barry fault. Durango has secured the equipment necessary to begin its fall program and the exploration team will begin its program next week by creating two trenches. The trenching will provide: (a) a cross section of the lithological contacts and the structural geology that will be used to align drilling more accurately; (b) a surface projection for drill interpretation; and (c) the collection of additional rock samples.
The excavating equipment will remain on site during the program as Durango will rehabilitate some sections of logging roads to allow for full access of the equipment which will include leveling and widening in areas on both the Trove Property and the parallel East Barry Property, as necessary.
Durango has identified 12 immediate drill targets for the Trove Property to test favourable IP signatures which coincide with geochemistry and geophysical anomalies including gold that was previously found in till samples. The drill campaign is scheduled to begin on or about the 15 th of September on the Trove Property. Additional updates on the drill plan details will be released shortly.
Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, stated, « We have just completed our largest financing in the history of the Company and I am very enthusiastic that Durango has a real opportunity to explore and complete drilling on all of the key areas set out in the initial drill program. Durango is in a position to continue drilling if the mineralization continues to correspond to that reported by Osisko Mining on their neighbouring property. The potential for the Trove and East Barry properties is high. »
On August 25, 2020, Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. (TSX-GMX) announced it sold six cells in the Windfall Lake mining camp to Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX-OSK). As stated by Globex, « …two are near, to southwest and on strike of the Black Dog gold deposit. » These two cells are tied to Durango’s Trove Property northern boundary and 500 meters away from the drill targets planned in the upcoming campaign.
