Durango Resources Completes Program At Dianna Lake Silver, Sask.
Vancouver, August 31, 2017 - Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (OTC- ATOXF) (Frankfurt-86A1), (the "Company" or "Durango") announces that further to the news releases dated August 8 and August 22, 2017, the dewatering and sampling of Pit#1 on its Dianna Lake Silver Project in northern Saskatchewan is complete. Durango's exploration crew has finished the follow-up program for the wholly owned Dianna Lake property which began August 18th and consisted of further investigation of the anomalies discovered in 2016. The work also included sampling historical Pit#1 which was flooded with water in 2016 and systematic sampling of historic trenches.
Durango's team was successful in dewatering historical Pit #1 which hosted high grade silver grab samples of up to 2,458 oz/t (76,452.34 g/t) Ag in the past. The crew also completed systematic sampling of historical trenches in the area which hosted copper with historical results of to 1.6% Cu.
52 channel samples from the various zones of historic workings and 63 grab samples from the surrounding areas were taken for assay. All 115 samples have been sent to Activation Laboratories for assay.
In addition to sampling, the crew completed approximately 7 km of mag/gradient and 1 km of VLF in the immediate area of the historical workings to help compare with historical reports in the area to produce an updated geological map.
Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, comments, "Based on the historic information, the highest-grade silver samples were recovered from Pit #1 so we are excited that our crew was able to successfully dewater and sample the area. We hope to be able to verify the historically documented silver results of Dianna Lake property during the August 2017 program and further details on the exploration program will be released as assay results become available and interpreted."

About Dianna Lake Silver, Saskatchewan
Durango's Dianna Lake silver prospect covers an historical area in which, from 1968 to 1969, two-high grade, primarily native silver-bearing exploration targets of between 30,000 tonnes and 50,000 tonnes grading five to ten ounces (155 to 311 g/t) per ton silver, approximately 600 meters apart, were determined by trench grab sample assays, according to an historical evaluation report composed for Comaplex Resources in 1980(1)*.
* Potential quantities and grades are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
