Durango Looks to Advance Limestone
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / October 29, 2015 - Durango Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Durango") reports that TransCanada Corp. has received final permits from the British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission (BCOGC), giving regulatory approval for the construction and operation of the Prince Rupert gas transmission (PRGT) pipeline project.
The Globe and Mail reported in its Wednesday, Oct. 28, edition that "TransCanada announced that it cleared one of the final regulatory hurdles necessary to begin construction of a $5-billion pipeline project serving a proposed natural gas export facility in British Columbia. Developers are racing to build export terminals to sell the power-plant fuel on international markets amid a glut of supplies and low domestic prices."
Marcy Kiesman stated, "This is good news for Durango as these permits will link the northeastern British Columbia natural gas production with the proposed Pacific Northwest (PNW) liquefied natural gas station on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert. Durango's Smith Island limestone property is located approximately six kilometres away from Lelu Island and with the permitting milestone now achieved, Durango plans to begin the advance of the north coast BC limestone properties."
About Smith Island
The Smith Island property is a past producing limestone property located approximately 6 kilometres southwest of Lelu Island near Prince Rupert, BC where the proposed $36 billion LNG facility is expected to be built by Petronas LNG Consortium (Pacific Northwest LNG).
