Vancouver, BC / July 29, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango”) is pleased to announce that recent drilling by Nemaska Lithium Corp. (TSX-NMX) (“Nemaska”) confirms that Nemaska’s Whabouchi lithium deposit extends to the east toward Durango’s property which is contiguous to the Whabouchi property.
Nemaska’s news release from July 28, 2016 stated “The drilling thus far has confirmed the continuity of the dikes down to 200 metres from surface in the eastern part of the deposit and spodumene-bearing pegmatite dikes were observed in all holes…[and]…confirms that there are additional dikes on the Whabouchi property.”
The discovery of additional dikes aligns with the USGS paper 2003-1008 which states that “LCT pegmatites typically occur in groups, which consist of tens to hundreds of individuals and cover areas up to a few tens of square kilometers (Cerny, 1991).”1
Further to Durango’s news release of July 18, 2016, Durango’s exploration team expects to be mobilized on its property in the Nemaska region by August 2nd for the initiation of its exploration program. The initial program will take place over a period of approximately two weeks and consist of detailed mapping and sampling and will target geophysical and historical lithogeochemical anomalies.
