[{"type":"text","content":"Durango Returns High-Grade Grab Sample of 6,010 G/T Silver and 736 G/T Cobalt and High-Grade Channel Sample of 4.21% Copper at Dianna Lake(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nVancouver, BC / TheNewswire / December 18, 2017 - Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the \"Company\" or \"Durango\") is very pleased to report that, further to its news of August 31, 2017, the fire assay results from its Dianna Lake, Saskatchewan exploration program have returned high grade silver, copper and cobalt. \n\n\n \nThe main historical Pit No. 1 which was dewatered and sampled, returned five high grade grab samples ranging from 951 g/t to 6,010 g/t (0.95 to 6kg/t), with the average being 2,650 g/t Ag. All high-grade silver results were associated with highly anomalous cobalt (ranging from 560ppm to 736ppm). Grab samples are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the property. \n\n\n \nNative silver was found in historic Pit No. 1, where it was observed together with erythrite. The erythrite is a hydrated cobalt arsenate (Co3(AsO4)2?8H2O) rose color mineral, (see Figure 1). The cobalt (erythrite) makes an isomorphous mixture with nickel (annabergite) (Ni3(AsO4)2.8H2O) known also as \"cobalt and nickel blooms\", and has been mentioned in the previous historical exploration reports in the area. The copper grade reached 4.21% in a 50cm by 5cm channel sample. The highest grade of Ag was 6,010 g/t in a grab sample. The highest-grade nickel was 0.92% in a grab sample. The highest tungsten grade was 0.2% which occurred in the same 50cm by 5cm channel sample that returned 2.68% copper. The highest lead grade was 3.29%, and zinc grade was 1.07% in the same grab sample. The rhenium reached values of 0.997 g/t in a 50cm by 5cm channel sample with returned 1.65% copper. The highest-grade scandium graded 26.2 g/t in a grab sample. Grab samples are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.\n\n\n \n\nClick Image To View Full Size\n\n \n \nFigure 1.

Twelve of the high-grade copper results were obtained via channel sampling over a 50cm long by 5cm wide channels. Each of these 50cm long channels returned...
