TORONTO, ONTARIO - (Feb. 23, 2009) - Duran Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DRV) is pleased to report that preliminary regional sampling and assessment work carried out in various areas of Duran's 11,000 hectares of exploration properties over the past few months has been successful in locating several Gold, Silver, and Copper showings. Anomalous samples with values as high as 7.8 g gold/t, 191.0 g silver/t, and 9.1% copper were collected in separate samples from various areas of Duran's exploration properties (see attached Figure 1). Seventeen samples returned gold values of over 1.0 g gold/t, and 12 samples returned silver values of over 31.1 g silver/t (1.0 troy ounce).

Historic small-scale mining in the area produced gold, copper, and silver from vein and manto systems in the San Juan, Santa Rosa, and Pucapampa mines, all of which fall within Duran's exploration properties. Previously unknown to the Company, chalcopyrite-bearing porphyritic intrusive bodies have been found both in the north-west and south-east ends of Duran's exploration properties. One sample from these returned 0.65% copper and 1.9 g gold/t. We will be continuing to assess these new areas in more detail during 2009 as we continue the regional assessment of our properties. Management is very encouraged by these early stage results indicating the potential for numerous additional precious mineral targets within our large exploration properties.

Duran Ventures plans further development work this year in the Aguila and Pasacancha areas to define future drill targets. The work program includes an induced polarization (IP) and magnetic (Mag) geophysical surveys, detailed geological mapping and sampling, and assessment of the mineral potential of the area between Aguila and Pasacancha ('Area of Interest' in attached Figure 2). Several mineralized intrusive bodies have been found in this area and are in process of being sampled and mapped in detail. Continued diamond drilling is planned in 2009 for the Pasacancha Ag-Pb-Zn Target as well as for new prospects to be identified in the area of the IP and Mag surveys.

Duran geologists began a surface channel sampling program over the Aguila East porphyry body in January of this year. The program consists of 4 parallel samples lines separated by 50 metres distance between lines (see attached Figure 3). To date, only Line A (LINEA A) has been completed since fieldwork was temporarily suspended due to extremely heavy rains this year. This work is expected to resume in March when weather permits. Samples are being collected by cutting a continuous 20 centimetre wide channel to a depth of 5 centimetres with a diamond saw, chiseling out the rock in the channel, and quartering the material down to an adequate size for laboratory samples. Most samples were 3 metres in length. Results will be released after completion of the channel sampling program. Management believes that the Aguila East will develop into a significant secondary target which will expand upon the currently known Aguila Main Target with 14 successful drill holes (January 5, 2009 news release) and which will merit further development to the drill testing stage.

Duran management remains very optimistic for the potential to locate and define new and significant porphyry and vein or manto type copper and precious metal targets in what is emerging as a very important mineralized district. We remain committed to developing what we see as tremendous mineral potential in the Aguila area.

TORONTO, ONTARIO - (Jan. 26, 2009) - George A. Brown, CEO, and Cary Pothorin, President, of Duran Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DRV) are pleased to provide the following update on exploration activities at the Pasacancha Silver-Lead-Zinc Target in Ancash, Peru. Cary Pothorin, P.Geo. is a Qualified Person as defined in National Policy 43-101, and is responsible for all technical information contained in this news release. Conversions from the reported metric units were done using 1 metre equals 3.3 feet rounded to nearest foot and 31.1 grams equals 1 troy ounce rounded to nearest tenth of a troy ounce.

Pasacancha hole 4B was drilled in December 2008 directly to the east at an inclination of minus 65 degrees to a final depth of 377.15 metres. The hole intersected vein and stockwork zones with common sphalerite, galena, argentite, pyrite, and pyrrhotite in phyllic-altered diorite porphyry, then passed through a significant fault zone into weakly altered diorite hornblende porphyry. Significant intersections of Hole 4B are:

33 of 145 core samples from Hole 4B report silver values of over 15.5 g Ag/t (0.5 oz Ag/t), with an individual sample assaying 389 g Ag/t (12.5 oz Ag/t). The above intersections represent measured drill widths. Actual true widths have not yet been determined but are currently thought to be approximately 55% of the measured drilled widths.

The Pasacancha Target, which management view as a potentially bulk mineable target, is interpreted to be an intrusive-hosted Silver-Lead-Zinc vein system which has been displaced to the northeast by a shallow-dipping thrust fault and is thought to be comprised of telescoped mineralization related to the emplacement of the Aguila Copper-Moly porphyry system. The intrusive host of the Pasacancha mineralization is thought to be related to the diorite porphyry bodies of the Aguila Target, located approximately two kilometers to the west of the Pasacancha Target. Duran is excited at the potential to find additional exploration targets within the area between the Aguila Main Porphyry Target and the Pasacancha Porphyry Target. Duran plans to execute an induced-polarization geophysical survey over this zone during the course of 2009. Duran plans to continue advancing the Pasacancha Target, several identified Aguila style targets, as well as new exploration targets on our 11,000 hectares of exploration properties in the district.

All drill core was logged, photographed and cut in half using a diamond saw. One half of the core was systematically sampled in one to three metre intervals and sent to the Lima laboratory of Inspectorate Services Peru SAC (a certified laboratory) for preparation and multi-element ICP analysis followed by AQR/AA assaying for Cu, Pb, Zn, and 30 gram FA/AA assaying for Au and Ag. The company has a QA/QC protocol in place including the secure care and custody of samples, use of standards and blanks, duplicate sampling, and check sampling done by outside labs.

TORONTO, ONTARIO - (Jan. 16, 2009) - George A. Brown, CEO of Duran Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DRV) wishes to announce the grant of 1,200,000 stock options to qualified recipients, subject to regulatory approval.

The Board of Directors met this morning and granted the stock options exercisable at $0.25 for a period of 3 years to January 16, 2012. The stock options were granted at a premium to market of 47% based on the previous days closing share price of $0.17. The stock options will vest over 18 months within the vesting guidelines of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The grant included 700,000 stock options to the seven directors, 400,000 stock options to five senior officers of Duran and its Peruvian subsidiary, and 100,000 stock options to two consultants to the Company.

The Company maintains a 10% rolling stock option plan as approved by the shareholders at the October 14, 2008 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders. No stock options had been granted to the directors and officers on the June 2008 anniversary of the last annual grant due to the postponement of the shareholders meeting until October 2008. No stock options were granted at the board meeting following the shareholder meeting in October 2008 due to the very limited number of stock options available for grant prior to the closing of the amalgamation with MacMillan Gold Corp. which was completed effective October 31, 2008.

The grant of stock options to directors and senior officers aids the Company to attract, retain, and motivate well qualified and experienced individuals.

The Company is not aware of any material information or results that have not been publicly disclosed.

TORONTO, ONTARIO - (Dec. 29, 2008) - George A. Brown, CEO, and Cary Pothorin, President, of Duran Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DRV) are pleased to provide the following update on exploration activities at the Pasacancha Ag-Au-Pb-Zn Target in Ancash, Peru. Cary Pothorin, P.Geo. is a Qualified Person as defined in National Policy 43-101, and is responsible for all technical information contained in this news release.

Drilling at Pasacancha has been very challenging. The fractured and brecciated nature of the sedimentary host rock results in a loss of circulation of drill fluids. Geotechnical core logging has indicated fracture intensity of over 100 fractures per metre and a Rock Quality Designator (RQD) of zero. RQD is a measure of the mechanical strength of rock as determined by measuring the amount of core pieces recovered with lengths of more than twice the core diameter. In order to advance through these difficult zones, the drill contractor attempted cementing the holes and drilling out the cement in order to stabilize the drill hole walls. Coarse granular bentonite was also used with limited success in sealing the drill hole walls.

Three attempts were made to drill Pasacancha Hole 1. The first two attempts were in November 2007 and were terminated at 43.4 metres and 54.0 metres. The third attempt began on December 1, 2007 and was finished on January 16, 2008 to a depth of 95.4 metres. None on these three attempts were drilled to target depth. The third attempt was analyzed from 2.6 metres to 89.1 metres for 86.5 metres of 0.03 g Au/t, 1.77 g Ag/t, 268 ppm Cu, 218 ppm Pb, and 618 ppm Zn. The last 6.3 metres were not included in the sample interval due to poor core recovery.

Pasacancha Hole 2 was drilled from August 11 to September 15, 2008 to a final depth of 620.8 metres. The location of this hole was selected for ease of access and for a collar location which did not have to cut through large sections of fractured sedimentary rock. This drill location and direction were not optimal given the geometry of the Pasacancha target but was selected as an acceptable location in order to attempt to complete a hole in the target. A re-evaluation of the controlling geological structures has shown that a gently dipping fault to the west of the drillhole has a major control on mineralization, and that Hole 2 passed below this fault. Values over the 615.3 metre sampled length were 0.02 g Au/t, 0.65 g Ag/t, 74.8 ppm Cu, 85.2 ppm Pb, and 324.2 ppm Zn. These assay results, although considered low, indicate widespread anomalous precious and base metal values that have helped to interpret the geological controls at Pasacancha including the relationship to the fault.

Pasacancha Hole 3 was drilled from September 24 to October 24, 2008 to a final depth of 125.45 metres. It did not reach the target and was lost due to poor drilling conditions. Geological indicators were favorable and included strongly altered sedimentary host rock and altered diorite intrusive dykes, and visible galena, sphalerite, pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization. Common iron oxides such as goethite, limonite, and jarosite occur where the rock is oxidized near surface, and indicate the original presence of lead, zinc, silver, and iron sulfide and sulfosalt mineralization. Hole 3 returned 0.03 g Au/t, 10.1 g Ag/t, 359.8 ppm Cu, 1037.7 ppm Pb, and 204. 3 ppm Zn over the entire 124.95 sampled interval. Five individual samples of two to three metres returned results between 26.6 g Ag/t to 54.3 g Ag/t. These results are encouraging considering that they are from material that is not considered the target.

Pasacancha Hole 3B was an attempt to re-drill Hole 3 and reach the target. It was drilled from October 27 to November 11, 2008 and was abandoned at a final depth of 104.7 metres. Hole 3B was not sampled due to its close proximity to Hole 3 and not having been terminated at a greater depth.

Due to the drilling difficulties, the Company decided to drill from a site chosen to intersect the Pasacancha target through less fractured wallrock material. This site is approximately 240 metres to the south of Pasacancha Holes 3 and 3B. The access road and drill platform were constructed from November 15 to December 5, 2008.

Pasacancha Hole 4 was commenced on December 8 and was terminated at a depth of 60.3 metres on December 11 due to drilling difficulties. Hole 4B was commenced from the same location on December 12 and was completed to a final depth of 377.15 metres on December 22. Samples for Hole 4B were shipped to Lima on December 23. Results are expected in January 2009.

Management continues to view the Pasacancha Ag-Au-Pb-Zn Target as being very promising and will continue to explore and test the area's potential. We appreciate the continued shareholder support and patience during this challenging and often frustrating process.

All drill core was logged, photographed and cut in half using a diamond saw. One half of the core was systematically sampled in one to three metre intervals and sent to the Lima laboratory of Inspectorate Services Peru SAC (a certified laboratory) for preparation and multi-element ICP analysis followed by AQR/AA assaying for Cu, Pb, Zn, and 30 gram FA/AA assaying for Au and Ag. The company has a QA/QC protocol in place including the secure care and custody of samples, use of certified standards and blanks, duplicate sampling, and check sampling done by outside labs.

TORONTO, ONTARIO - (Dec. 18, 2008) - George A. Brown, CEO, and Cary Pothorin, President, of Duran Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DRV) are pleased to provide the following update for the Aguila Cu-Mo Target and the Pasacancha Ag-Au-Pb-Zn Target. Cary Pothorin, P.Geo., is a Qualified Person as defined in National Policy 43-101, and is responsible for all technical information contained in this news release.

In late November 2008, the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines finalized the approval of a C Permit for Duran's Peruvian subsidiary Minera Aguila de Oro S.A.C. The permit will allow drilling of up to 64,000 metres from up to 80 platforms covering the Aguila and Pasacancha targets. The Company intends to allocate the allowed metres between one or two holes from each permitted platform. The C permit is valid for a two year period from when it is activated by commencement of drilling the first hole, which must be done within one year from issue of the C permit. Drilling permits in Peru can normally be modified as the work program proceeds to allow for time extensions and changes in planned work details, subject to approval of the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines.

In mid October 2008, the Company requested and received a three month extension for the B Permit to cover any delays in receiving the C Permit and to continue with uninterrupted drilling. The B permit is valid until mid-January of 2009.

The Company has drilled 14 holes at Aguila under the B Permit of which 13 have been news released. Hole 14 was completed on November 28, 2008 to a depth of 459.6 metres and results are expected to be news released in early January 2009, along with a summary of all Aguila drill holes. Drilling at Aguila has been temporarily suspended until the Company feels that commodity prices for Cu-Mo show indications of recovery. Aguila surface exploration will continue with a focus on advancing other Aguila style targets such as the Aguila East and Aguila Southwest to the drill ready stage in 2009.

Dear George

I wish to bring to your attention that a lot of mis-information is surrounding the Comex delivery of gold and silver. Most of the information posted on certain Internet sites give the "Notices" of delivery. A notice is not an actual delivery! Your editor has written about this in the past and most members are probably well aware of the difference.

Yes, metal will be coming off the exchange in December, but it will NOT be nearly the amount stated in the notices.

We sent out a Press Release last night and would greatly appreciate it if you would forward to any of your friends or associates that would like to try our paid service.

See http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/1...

I will be leaving to speak at the Financial Vortex tomorrow morning very early and will not be in the office until mid morning Monday, December 8, 2008.

More info: http://www.financialvortex2008.event...

My next interview with Jim Puplava on www.financialsense.com will be the 13th of December 13th, 2008. I have asked Jim if we might discuss some of the fallacies about the silver and gold markets.

That is it for now, need to start packing..

TORONTO, ONTARIO - (Dec. 1, 2008) - George A. Brown, CEO of Duran Ventures (TSX VENTURE:DRV) is pleased to provide the following highlights of the third quarter financials and MD&A to September 30, 2008 as filed on SEDAR November 28, 2008.

The Company had liquid assets of $3,010,480 at September 30, 2008 including cash of $1,436,693. Due to the completion of the amalgamation with MacMillan Gold Corp. on October 31, 2008, the September 30, 2008 working capital of $2,750,655 was subsequently reduced by the $1,496,876 reported as due from exploration partner and increased by $1,000,000 in cash representing the minimum matching working capital contributed by MacMillan Gold in the amalgamation.

The amalgamation with MacMillan Gold resulted in the issue of 31,027,375 additional shares of Duran Ventures resulting in 58,861,518 issued and outstanding at October 31, 2008. The Company feels that this increase in shares is positively offset by now owning 100% of the Peru properties and the elimination of the potential 5% NSR royalty that no longer exists.

The balance sheet value of the Peru exploration properties increased by $1,496,876 in the nine month period ending September 30, 2008. This amount being reported is after netting $1,496,876 as the 50% of expenditures in Peru due from exploration partner, MacMillan Gold. The effect of the October 31, 2008 amalgamation is that the Peru expenditures to September 30, 2008 by Duran Ventures were actually $2,993,752.

Drilling is ongoing at the Pasacancha Ag-Au-Pb-Zn Target. Surface work will focus on developing additional Aguila style targets in the immediate Aguila Main area (i.e. Aguila East and Aguila SW targets) and elsewhere on the 9,800 hectare exploration land position in Ancash, Peru. Our goal is to advance one or more of these additional Aguila style targets to drill ready by the first quarter of 2009. The Company will also be developing the Santa Rosa Gold Target to drill ready by the first quarter of 2009. The Company intends to temporarily suspend drilling at the Aguila Main Cu-Mo Target after completion of current hole 14 in order to preserve working capital during the current poor markets for equity financing of exploration companies.

Management feels strongly that commodity price cycles are unavoidable but that resources in the ground will outlast any commodity cycle. Our goal continues to be the expansion of our numerous Cu-Mo-Au-Ag-Pb-Zn targets in Peru for an eventual sale or corporate transaction with a producing resource company.

Dear DRV Investors,

When we followed up on our investigation early last week, we were informed by Equity Transfer & Trust Company in Toronto that The Depository Trust Company in the US did not submit its shares of MacMillan Gold Corp. to Equity for replacement by shares of Duran Ventures Inc. and MacMillan Minerals Inc. until friday November 21, 2008.

Equity sent the replacement shares in the names of all the US brokers by FEDEX to The Depository Trust Company in New York on wednesday November 26. They were delivered by FEDEX and signed for at 9:51 am on November 28, 2008.

We expect The Depository Trust Company to immediately courier the share certificates to each of the US brokers to distribute to their clients.

We do not know why The Depository Trust Company took 3 weeks to submit their share certificates but Equity were not able to issue the replacement shares until the original MMG shares were submitted.

Regards

George A Brown

(i) Note: Total Cu Equivalent % is the sum of the Cu% plus 10 times the Mo%
based on an assumed 10:1 ratio of Mo to Cu selling prices (i.e. US$1.50 Cu
to US$15. Mo). Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are assumed
to be 100%. These equivalent grades should not be interpreted as actual
grades since the conversion ratios vary with the volatile prices of Cu and
Mo and the economic recoveries of Cu and Mo can vary significantly in
actual extraction and processing. The current ratio is less than 10:1
however all previous holes have been reported with this ratio and the
Company feels this is still a reasonable long term ratio to use for this
purpose.

Aguila Hole 13 was drilled to a length of 578.9 metres on section 10050N, approximately 50 metres to the southwest of the collar of Hole 8 (July 14 2008 news release - 522.3 metres averaging 0.626% Cu 0.049% Mo for 1.119% Copper Equivalent). The first 202 metres intersected mineralized diorite porphryry intrusive and the remaining 376 metres intersected altered and mineralized sedimentary wallrock with local narrow porphyritic dykes. Hole 13 was completed on November 7th and results are pending.

Aguila Hole 14 was collared south of section 10100N, approximately 125 metres to the northeast of Hole 8. It is being drilled to the southwest at an inclination of -60 degrees. This hole is designed to test the Aguila intrusive body further to the north. Drilling began on this hole on November 11th, 2008, and is at a depth of 451.8 metres as at 8:30 am November 27, 2008. To date, this hole has intersected mineralized diorite porphyry with minor monzonite porphyry.

All drill core was logged, photographed and split in half using a diamond saw. One half of the core was systematically sampled in three metre intervals and sent to the Lima laboratory of Inspectorate Services Peru SAC (a certified laboratory) for preparation and multi-element ICP analysis followed by AQR/AA assaying for Cu and Mo. The company has a QA/QC protocol in place including the use of certified standards and blanks, duplicate sampling, secure care and custody of samples, and check sampling done by outside labs.
