DURANGO SEEKS CFIA CERTIFICATION FOR LIMESTONE AS FERTILIZER
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / April 5, 201 7 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (OTC-
ATOXF), (the “Company” or “ Durango”) announces that management has initiated discussions
with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in relation to using its limestone for fertilizer
use.
Fertilizer and supplement products are regulated under the authority of the Fertilizers Act, which
is administered by the CFIA.
Limestone is extremely beneficial for the agricultural industry, as the chemical properties of
agricultural lime can significantly boost the profit yield of farms and increase efficiencies of the
fertilizers of up to 50% increasing crop yields and profitability.
The limestone is activated when it meets with water and dissolves into the soil, which lowers the
acidity and raises the pH, which is essential for crop yields. The lime also adds desirable nutrients
to the soils such as calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, which can improve soil structure,
increase rates of air and water infiltration, improve plant cell wall formation, and help to regulate
the nutrient uptake through the roots of the plant. Hydroponic systems are more prone to incur
a calcium deficiency and require the u se of lim estone, therefore Durango is investigating the
synergy of agricultural limestone for such soil conditioning mediums.
Further details on the suitability of Durango’s limestone for use as a fertilizer will be provided as
they become available.
