Durango Resources Inc.: Provides Update on Nemaska Properties
Vancouver, June 2, 2016 - Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the "Company" or "Durango") announces that upon further review of historic data on the Nemaska area, the Company has further refined targets for its upcoming exploration program at its NMX East property in northern Quebec. Based on observations from gradiometric and total field magnetic surveys conducted on the area in 2011, several geophysical signatures have been found on the property which coincide with mapped pegmatites from the 2011 Tucana Lithium technical report on the Abigail property (1)(2). These geophysical signatures appear to extend eastward from Nemaska Lithium's Whabouchi property.
Three parallel signatures were found to occur clearly on the Durango property in both the gradiometric and total field magnetic surveys. Two of these signatures were confirmed in Tucana Lithium's 2011 report to be coincident with pegmatite outcropping at surface, while the third was not mapped (1). Furthermore, one of the signatures appears to lie directly along strike with the Whabouchi deposit.
Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, comments, "There has been extensive staking in the Nemaska area over the past few months, while work programs in the area are beginning to commence. Our approach has been to compile and reinterpret all available materials prior to commencing work in an effort to make Durango's upcoming exploration program in Nemaska as efficient as possible and to provide the best chance of discovery."
The technical contents of this release were approved by Mr. Case Lewis, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The property has not yet been the subject of a National Instrument 43-101 report.
