Durango Resources Inc. announced that further to the news of August 2, 2022, the Company has begun to receive assays for its summer exploration campaign on its wholly owned Discovery Property in Québec. The Discovery Property adjoins Sayona Mining Ltd. in the highly prospective James Bay Territory, 100km north of Chibougamau, Québec in the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt. On July 6, 2022, Durango announced the completion of a 1,737m exploration drill campaign in an area with known gold anomalies on the Discovery Property.

Six exploratory holes were completed ranging from depths of 150m to 402m and the drill core is still undergoing assaying. To date, partial results have come in for holes 1, 2, and 4. The Company reported that elevated lithium, rubidium, and cesium have been intersected in each of the three holes assayed despite uneconomic gold values. Lithium bearing pegmatite pods have been intersected in each of the three drill holes assayed and values up to 748ppm lithium, 3,830ppm rubidium and 436ppm cesium have been reported.

Elevated copper and zinc were also present in all three holes, reaching up to 2,100ppm copper and up to 4,740ppm zinc. Ten pegmatite dykes were mapped at surface this year in a relatively small area of the property with lengths ranging from a few meters to 55 meters in length. These dykes have not yet been tested at depth.
