Durango Evaluating Additional Ground Adjacent to Nemaska Lithium
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / December 1, 2015 - Durango Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Durango") is reviewing additional ground adjacent to Nemaska Lithium's (TSX.V-NMX) proposed open pit Lithium Mine in Quebec. Durango currently has ground adjacent to Nemaska Lithium to the east, northeast, west and northwest.
The 2015 Paris Climate Change conference begins this week, and ahead of the conference it was announced in Huffington Post Canada, "Bill Gates $1 Billion Donation Leads Global Clean Tech Energy Campaign". Within the article it is stated, "Storing electricity is especially crucial for wind and solar power, which can be intermittent because of the weather. Improving batteries is key, and there have been breakthroughs both in technology and production announced this year, including by space and electric car tycoon Elon Musk, whose Gigafactory has begun producing large batteries for home power storage to make solar and wind power more viable."
A www.fortune.com article dated November 3, 2015, titled "Tesla is Already Making Grid Batteries at the Gigafactory" stated "earlier this year Musk said the company had $1 billion-worth or 100,000 in orders, for the grid batteries. Musk has also said that there's been so much demand for Tesla's grid batteries that they "went viral". Previously Musk has estimated that just the grid battery orders could deliver between $40 million to $45 million in sales for the fourth quarter of this year. Sales for the battery business could be "ten times that number next year" -- or presumably $400 million to $450 million in a quarter -- after that. Beyond next year, the business could reach "a few billion dollars in 2017", Musk said earlier this year. "It's sort of growing by a half order of magnitude to an order of magnitude per year.""
Marcy Kiesman stated "The recent announcement by Billionaires such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and by the push of the Canadian and United States governments to convert to green non carbon based energy is encouraging. Durango is well poised to focus on elements that provide clean green energy such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt, which are all used in electric vehicles and power storage systems solutions."
