Durango Resources Inc. provided an exploration update on its wholly owned Quebec properties. Due to the exceptional forest fires occurring in the Eeyou-Istchee James Bay region of northern Quebec this summer it has been challenging to carry out mineral exploration work on Durango's Quebec properties. Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (Ministere des Ressources naturelles et des Forets), announced prohibition regarding forest access on crown land and closed roads for public safety several times this summer which led Durango to pause its planned work programs. Durango is currently in the process of scheduling its mapping and drill programs for the fall of 2023 when site access is attainable.

The Ministere des Ress sources naturelles et Des Forets announced an extended claim validity period for an additional 12 months on existing mineral claims effective August 14, 2023, due to the ongoing forest fires and road closures. Additional updates will be announced as soon as they become available on the upcoming exploration programs.
