Vancouver, BC / January 11, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Durango”) announced that LNG Canada, a consortium consisting of Shell Canada Energy (TSX-SHC) and affiliates of PetroChina, Korea Gas Corp., and Mitsibishi Corp. have been granted a 40-year export licence to ship up to 38 billion cubic feet of LNG per year as reported on www.globalnews.ca.
The scale of the project is comparable to a recently completed project located in Australia, Curtis Island LNG which can be viewed here http://www.bechtel.com/projects/curtis-island-lng/ which outlines the significant amount of materials required to construct an LNG export facility.
Globalnews.ca also reported that LNG Canada has not yet made a final investment decision about the project and Andy Calitz, CEO of LNG Canada stated, “If the LNG Canada project moves into construction, it will be one of the largest energy infrastructure projects ever built in Canada, and will make an important and lasting contribution to the local, provincial and national economy.”
Durango has been in contact with a European LNG group, www.reganosa.com in relation to LNG project discussions and potential collaborations. Additional updates on the Mayner’s Fortune and Smith Island Projects are expected in the upcoming weeks.
