Durango to Visit NMX East Lithium Property
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / February 2, 2022 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTCQB
-ATOXF), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces that it is preparing for a site visit on its wholly owned NMX East
Property in Québec.
The Company is planning to visit the NMX East lithium property which neighbours Nemaska Lithium’s Whabouchi
Deposit located approximately 33km east of the town of Nemaska in northern Québec. Durango’s NMX East property
adjoins Nemaska Lithium’s eastern property perimeter, and the Durango claim border is less than 1.5km away from
the Whabouchi mining pit.
Durango intends to launch a limited reconnaissance program in the coming month to test for the lithium bearing
pegmatite occurrences below the surface. In 2016, Nemaska Lithium reported a newly discovered Doris zone
extension located to the east (towards Durango’s property boundary) of the Whabouchi deposit. According to
Nemaska Lithium, “the Doris zone contains 5 interconnected dykes and has now been confirmed on 420m of lateral
extension and up to a maximum depth of 440m where it joins the main dyke.” Nemaska Lithium also stated that it
was “prudent to consider the possible impact of its eastward continuance…” (see news release dated November 28,
2016).
To date, Durango has confirmed pegmatitic intrusions running parallel to Nemaska Lithium’s main zone and Doris
discovery and Durango’s’ intrusion tested positive for lithium, cesium and rubidium as reported on September 21,
2016. The Company has engaged a crew to conduct backpack drilling to assess the pegmatite outcrops below the
surface for lithium, cesium, tantalum and rubidium.
Marcy Kiesman, CEO stated, “Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum pegmatite intrusions are known to occur in dyke swarms
which can go on for kilometres which is consistent with what has been seen to date in this region. Contracting a drill
has been difficult this winter so we decided to begin with shallow backpack drilling to advance the property and de-
risk the NMX East for future deeper drilling. We have easy, priority, at-surface targets to begin the exploration
program with this winter which should give us a clear indication of what we can expect at depth.”
Recently Kitco reported (Lithium, the 'white gold' is just getting started after 300% rally in 2021 - Bank of America |
Kitco News) that lithium, also known as “white gold” had a 300% rally in 2021, and that the demand is expected to
rise for the foreseeable future.
