[{"type":"text","content":"Durango Initiates Geophysical Exploration on Decouverte (Discovery), QC(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nVancouver, BC / TheNewswire / May 30, 2017 - Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTC-ATOXF), (the \"Company\" or \"Durango\") announces that it is planning further exploration for the Decouverte Property in relation to its grant from the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (\"INRS\") as announced June 1, 2015, September 18, 2015, November 5, 2015 and November 30, 2015.\n\n\n \nDurango's wholly owned Decouverte (Discovery) property is in the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt in northern Quebec approximately 100km to the northwest of the town of Chibougamau. Neighbours on the west side of the project is Osisko Mining Inc.'s (TSX-OSK) Assinica property and to the northwest is Beaufield Resources Inc.'s Troilus-Tortigny Property (TSX.V-BFD). The former-producing Troilus mine is approximately 60km northeast along the same fault. It is noteworthy to mention that there are three important massive sulphide showings to the west (Fallara, Rapides Assinica and Lucky Strike) and to the East are VMS deposits with proven resources (Tortigny, Lessard, De Maures, Moleon).\n\n\n \nThe INRS grant (FQRNT-MERN-MINES) on the Decouverte property is being used to focus on defining the electromagnetic (EM) anomalies from Durango's Dighem airborne survey, which may be indicative of massive sulphide mineralization.\n\n \n \nThe research grant is being used on the site of the Decouverte property to test the utility of deep penetration geophysical methods (audiomagnetotelleluric: AMT, Controlled Source ElectroMagnetics; CSEM) to document the VMS mineralization potential of the lake Pasquale area.\n\n\n \nAt the end of 2015, 9.9 km of magnetometric, gravimetric and electromagnetic (FDEM) surveys were carried out along 3 sections intersecting different lithological units and structures of the Decouverte property. These sections also intersect magnetic and EM anomalies detected by the DIGHEM heliborne survey. An audiomagnetotelluric survey was also realized to document the deep geophysics (0-1500m) under line 3 which intersects a large conductive magnetic anomaly.\n\n\n \nGiven the presence of formational conductors on the Decouverte property, gravimetry and sub-surface electrical resistivity work will be carried out to characterize the main ...
