Vancouver, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 5, 2014 / Durango Resources Inc. ("Durango" or the "Company") announces that it has reviewed its exploration properties and has created a short list of the projects it will maintain and explore in an effort to increase shareholder value. The following properties have been selected:

This property was added to Durango's portfolio in December 2013. It consists of 300 hectares of prospective ground adjacent to Zenyatta Ventures Inc.'s (TSX.V-ZEN) Albany graphite deposit.
-Buckshot, QC
The Buckshot property was staked in September 2013 and title was received in December 2013. It is a 240 hectare property prospective for graphite adjacent to Canada Carbon Inc.'s (TSX.V-CCB) Miller Mine project.
-Decouverte, QC
Located in the Abitibi Greenstone belt of Quebec, this property of 3,900 hectares is prospective for gold. Durango has completed wide spaced soil sampling and an airborne survey. The Company is currently reviewing the results of this exploration to plan follow up surveys.
-McGillivray, BC
The McGillivray property in BC is prospective for gold, silver, and copper and was instrumental in the IPO of the Company in 2009. Exploration has included soil geochemistry, geological mapping and trenching but has yet to be drilled. Three mineralized zones have been identified with 7 of the 10 rock samples from the breccia being highly anomalous (see news release dated August 3, 2011 on www.sedar.com).
