Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / April 20, 2016 - Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the "Company" or "Durango") announces further to the news of April 14, 2016, that it has secured the two claim blocks located to the northwest and southeast of Nemaska Lithium's Whabouchi Project in Quebec.
The Montagne North property is located to the northwest and is contiguous with Nemaska Lithium Corp.'s (TSX.V-NMX) Whabouchi Property and the Lac Noir property is located to the southeast of Nemaska Lithium's Whabouchi Property.
Both of the properties were purchased by Durango based on the pegmatites mapped by the Theberge report as discovered by Nemaska Lithium Corp. in 2011 and will be 100% owned by Durango upon payment of $50,000 to an arm's length vendor. Durango now holds over 2,100 hectares in the regional pegmatite belt.
Durango is now in final discussions regarding the joint ventures as previously announced on January 29, 2016 and February 18, 2016 in relation to the Buckshot graphite property and NMX East lithium property. A full update will be provided as soon as it becomes available on the joint ventures.
Additionally, Durango is pleased to announce that over the past week, warrant holders have exercised over 3.25 million warrants ("Warrants") for aggregate proceeds of over $325,000. Each Warrant was exercised for one common share at an exercise price of $0.10 per Warrant.
Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango comments, "We are pleased to have secured the strategic claims with pegmatites near the Whabouchi project in Quebec. The warrant exercises have strengthened our financial position and will enable management to plan a sampling program on our newly acquired properties to determine whether the mapped pegmatites host lithium. We look forward to an exciting year ahead and will work diligently to provide value to our shareholders."
