Durango Resources Inc. Attending Québec Mines Conference in Quebec City
As outlined in Durango's news release dated September 21, 2016, lithium anomalies were discovered in three distinct lithium-bearing pegmatite intrusions during Durango's inaugural exploration program on its NMX East property, adjacent to the Nemaska Lithium (T.NMX) Whabouchi property. Nemaska Lithium announced on September 6, 2016 and October 13, 2016 that drilling had extended the Whabouchi deposit to the east. Durango's land position is strategically located along the eastern boundary of the Whabouchi property.
The Company intends to begin stripping and/or drilling of the pegmatite targets in the new year to determine the full extent of the intrusive bodies. Durango announced on October 31, 2016 that is accepting bids to drill these targets and will be meeting with contractors at the Quebec Mines convention in Quebec City.
Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, comments, "Durango's significant new discovery of pegmatites near the Whabouchi deposit has created great potential for the Company. The next step will be to trench and drill the lithium-bearing pegmatite targets to determine the extent to which the mineralization at NMX East reaches at depth."
