Durango Provides Update on Decouverte Drill Program

The 2,400 metre diamond-core drilling program was focused on only one of six targets that were delineated through several rounds of geophysical and geochemical surveys on the Decouverte property. Sixteen drill holes were aimed at eight conductors across a kilometer strike length in the target called the Main Zone. The conductors in drill core were graphitic schists with sulphides and quartz veining. Assay results of drill core indicate these conductors do not represent mineralized bodies of economic gold grades.

Marcy Kiesman, President of Durango states, "We approached the Decouverte drilling by drilling the target with easy road access. The additional five targets remain undrilled and additional surface rock sampling is ongoing at these targets."

Danae Voormeij, Chief Geologist states: "Although the results of the drilling are disappointing, the drill targets in the Main Zone were based on solid exploration targeting in an emerging gold district. The drilling program taught us much about the local geology and this info is being used towards refining the geological model for Decouverte."

Core samples were shipped to ALS laboratory in Val d'Or and assayed for gold by fire assay and ICP-AES. Further analysis for multi-elements was done by aqua regia digest and ICP-AES.
