Drilling Continues On Peruvian Proposition

TORONTO, ON - George A. Brown, CEO of both Duran Ventures Inc. and MacMillan Gold Corp. reported on activities in Peru. The Company has received an environmental impact permit, Drilling Permit type 'B', which allows the drilling of up to twenty diamond drill holes in the Aguila and Pasacancha project areas. Five of the twenty holes were drilled in Phase 1. Phase 2 which is currently underway consists of deepening Phase 1 holes 4 and 5 to the original target depths of between 550 and 600 metres, drilling an additional nine holes to outline the Aguila Main, Aguila West Contact, and Aguila East targets, and drilling six holes in the Pasacancha Silver Gold target consisting of three holes from each side.
Field work and document preparation was completed and an application was submitted in December 2007 for a Class "C" drilling Permit which will allow Duran to undertake an eighty hole drilling program aimed at developing an eventual resource for the Aguila and Pasacancha Targets.
The Company has negotiated and signed a three year land use agreement with the local communities. The agreement provides for the Company to fund programs and activities submitted by the communities involved. The Company continues to source manpower from within the surrounding communities.
