Just seen news, don't own. News May 5, '09 Duran Ventures (DRV-V) has released additional positive results from continuing exploration work on the 100-per-cent-owned 2,900-hectare Corongo properties. The company's work program from mid-March to present has focused on regional scale mapping and sampling on the Corongo properties. Duran Ventures has completed regional 1:25,000 mapping, stream sediment sampling and collected 154 samples in total, including 101 surface samples, 19 stream sediment samples and 34 underground samples. Results from 50 of these samples submitted April 27, 2009, are still outstanding. This work has resulted in identifying four target areas to follow up on with more detailed work. The four targets identified to date are the Descubridora target, the Santa Rosa/Santa Rosa East target, the Pucapampa target and the Breccia zone target. The exploration objective is to define potential bulk mineable precious metal targets. The Corongo property area is underlain by strongly folded and faulted Jurassic and Cretaceous clastic sediments intruded by dioritic and monzonitic dykes and plugs, thought to be related to and roughly contemporaneous with the Aguila intrusive. The Descubridora target is part of a northwest-southeast-trending zone which is roughly three kilometres long by 500 metres wide which has seen historic gold-silver production. This zone extends to the Santa Rosa/Santa Rosa East target area, with very similar styles of mineralization. Quartz-sulfide veins and breccias run either northwest-southeast or as cross-structures oriented southwest-northeast. Workings often extend for hundreds of metres on each structure. Strong gold and silver values are often associated with anomalous copper, molybdenum, lead, zinc, arsenic and antimony. The Breccia zone targets are strata-bound bodies controlled by the intersection of the northwest-southeast-trending folding and thrust faulting with a strong southwest-northeast-trending fault. This may develop to be a very significant target. Visual estimates put the size of the eastern-most breccia at 300 by 400 by 100 metres. There are abundant iron oxides. The only surface sample reported to us to date from the Breccia zone targets was 0.65 gram per tonne gold and 11.5 grams per tonne silver (sample 15109).

The company will follow up with more detailed mapping, sampling, and trenching to advance these targets to the drill ready stage. Cary Pothorin, PGeo, president of Duran Ventures, is a qualified person as defined in National Policy 43-101, and is responsible for all technical information contained in this news release. Centurion Minerals Ltd. has notified Duran Ventures that it will not proceed with the Corongo property option as outlined in a news release on March 12, 2009. Duran Ventures therefore retains 100-per-cent control of the Corongo properties.
