Durango Resources appoints Voormeij as chief geologist

DURANGO APPOINTS VOORMEIJ AS CHIEF GEOLOGIST

Further to the news release of July 9, 2018, Durango Resources Inc. has appointed Danae Voormeij, PGeo, as chief geologist for Durango's drill program at its Decouverte gold property located 120 kilometres north of Chibougamau, Que.

"I'm extremely excited to be part of the team to put the first holes into Decouverte," says Ms. Voormeij. "Decouverte is a grassroots gold project that has all the classic signs of a major gold deposit. Located along a major shear zone, where it takes a sharp bend, the project is hosted within a fold nose of metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks that has been transected by northwest- and northeast-trending structures. Of interest is the discovery of polymict conglomerates exposed along the Main zone, which look like Timiskaming-style, fault-bounded rocks, and indicate the presence of a major structure. Strong conductors and magnetic lows with coincident geochemical soil anomalies identify six major targets on the property."

Durango's chief executive officer, Marcy Kiesman, states: "We are delighted to have Danae on board as chief geologist to oversee our maiden drill campaign at Decouverte. She has a proven track record of gold discovery and we are confident in the geological model she has proposed for our wholly owned Decouverte property."

Additional information on Ms. Voormeij and a general overview of the Decouverte project can be read on-line.

Decouverte is an orogenic gold quartz vein project located along the main shear trend of the Frotet-Troilus greenstone belt, north of Chibougamau in the emerging gold district of James Bay. The project area is 60 square kilometres, is 100 per cent held by Durango and has never been drilled before. Durango has been preparing for this drill program for several years, having completed a Fugro DIGHEM heliborne survey, soil and rock sampling, and ground geophysical magnetic and AMT surveys. Based on positive results, a geological model was created that includes a gold-mineralized trend for the Main zone that has a 1.6 km strike length.

Drilling remains scheduled to commence this week for the 2,400-metre program of diamond core drilling to test the Main zone Nord, Main zone Central and shear zone 1 at Decouverte. See news release dated Jan. 16, 2018, for details on the proposed drill program.
