Duran Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DRV)(BVL:DRV) ("Duran" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce the completion of a diamond drilling program at the
Company's 100% owned Aguila Porphyry Copper-Molybdenum Project in Ancash, Peru.
A total of 1000 metres was drilled in four holes and all assays have been
received by the Company. 


Drilling focused in the Aguila "central pit area" where previous drilling
intersected numerous, significant intersections of copper (Cu) and molybdenum
(Mo). Two holes were each drilled on sections 10050 N and 10150 N. The Company's
objective is to expand the measured and indicated resource previously announced
by the Company (See Company's news release dated March 8, 2012). Near surface
high grade Cu-Mo was intersected on both drill sections and is summarized in the
following table:

% Cu Eq - Copper Equivalent is the sum of the Cu% plus 6.756 times the Mo%  
based on an assumed 6.756:1 economic ratio of Mo to Cu selling prices (i.e. 
US$1.85 Cu to US$12.50 Mo). Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns
are assumed to be 100%. These equivalence grades should not be interpreted  
as actual grades since the conversion ratio varies with the volatile prices 
of copper and molybdenum and the economic recovery of copper and molybdenum 
can very significantly in actual extraction and processing. The Company     
feels this is a reasonable long term ratio to use for this purpose.         



Drill holes 13AGD-045 and 13AGD-046 tested the near surface Cu-Mo mineralization
along Section 10050 N. Drill Hole AGD-45 drilled on an azimuth of 70 degrees
with a dip of -65 degrees returned from surface 117.5 metres of 0.67% Cu and
0.024% Mo for a Copper Equivalent of 0.83% hosted in porphyry. The remaining
166.85 metres intersected lower Cu-Mo grade sediments. Drill Hole AGD-46,
drilled on an azimuth of 270 degrees with a dip of -60 degrees, is the most
westerly hole on this section and intersected entirely mineralized sediments
returning a consistent 0.25% Cu and 0.031% Mo or 0.46% Copper Equivalent over
the 240 metre length.


Drill holes 13AGD-047 and 13AGD-048 were both drilled on an azimuth of 70
degrees with a dip of -70 degrees and tested the Cu-Mo mineralization along
Section 10150 N where the previous drilling density was considered low. Drill
Hole AGD-47 starting at 8 metres, returned 101 metres of 0.70% Cu and 0.024% Mo
for a Copper Equivalent of 0.86%. The hole collared in sedimentary rocks and
drilled intrusive porphyry from 44 to 106 metres. Drill Hole AGD-48 drilled 100
metres west along section of AGD-47 and intersected mainly mineralized
sediments, returning a consistent 157 metres from surface of 0.30% Cu and 0.035%
Mo or 0.54% Copper Equivalent. This interval contains only 13 metres of
mineralized intrusive porphyry showing that the wallrock on the western and
northwest portions of the Aguila mineralization appears to have higher Cu/Mo
grades compared to the sedimentary wallrock east of the "central pit". 


The Company will be assessing and evaluating this year's drilling in respect to
these results and the current state of capital markets, as well as incorporating
numerous new surface trenches west and northwest of the Aguila resource to
determine the next phase of the program. The drill plan map which shows the
drilling locations and intersections can be viewed at the link that follows:

Diamond drill core is photographed and then cut in half with a diamond saw, with
one half of the core delivered directly to the analytical laboratory and the
other half stored on site for future reference and assay verification. Assaying
is carried out by ALS Chemex, a laboratory whose quality control system complies
with International Standards ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025:2005. Samples are
prepared using a four-acid digestion and atomic absorption method for copper,
molybdenum and silver. The Company has a QA/QC protocol in place which includes
the use of certified standards, blanks, and duplicate samples, check assays
carried out at a second laboratory, as well as secure care and custody of
samples.
