Durango Resources Inc. Completes Windfall Lake Acquisition
Vancouver, April 18, 2017 - Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTC-ATOXF), (the "Company" or "Durango") announces that further to its news release dated March 6, 2017, its recent acquisition of properties in the Windfall Lake Gold Camp area (the "Windfall East Property" and "Windfall West Property", and collectively the "New Windfall Properties") has been approved by the TSX Venture Exchange. Durango closed the acquisition on April 11, 2017.The New Windfall Properties are comprised of approximately 2,700 hectares and adjoin the limit of Osisko Mining Inc.'s (TSX-OSK) property. The Windfall East Property is approximately five kilometres southeast of the Black Dog Au-Ag-Cu discovery. Osisko is currently drilling the extent of this new mineralization which appears as distinct subvertical zones dipping to the southeast and distributed along a NE-trending linear magnetic structure (Osisko's Press release of January 18, 2017 and conceptual model on Osisko's website).
The Windfall East Property runs along the southern perimeter of a projected large fault/lineament, a favorable environment for Archean lode gold deposit. Although the Windfall East Property is located outside the mapped Urban Barry greenstone belt, it remains prospective as many gold occurrences are found outside greenstone belts (eg. Cheechoo Project of Sirios Resources) and are rather driven by structural controls.
A limited amount of exploration work has been conducted over the Windfall East Property which totals an area of over 2,000 hectares. It is located within 1.5 km of the regional northeast-southwest faults extending from the Gladiator project of Bonterra Resources. A power line is crossing the central portion of the east claim block, and several lakes and rivers are present, which may facilitate access for future exploration work. Topography indicates that the area could be suitable for a till survey, as a first step to outline future targets.
The Windfall West Property is an additional block of approximately 675 hectares and is located to the west of Durango's Trove property and adjoins Beaufield Resources Inc.'s (TSX.V-BFD) western perimeter and is accessible for exploration work via a main logging road from the town of Lebel-sur-Quevillon.
Marcy Kiesman CEO of Durango stated, "Durango is reviewing several exploration programs which could be initiated to advance the New Windfall Properties. Durango is confident in the prospective gold acquisitions in the Windfall area and looks forward to the exploration year ahead."
