Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / May 15, 2018 – Durango Resources Inc.
(TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1)
(OTCQB-ATOXF), (the “Company” or
“Durango”) is in the process of applying for a work permit for its
wholly owned Mayner’s Fortune Limestone project in northern British
Columbia.
The property is located approximately 7.5km southwest of Terrace, BC along the Canadian National Railway route between Terrace and Kitimat and hosts six historically mapped sub parallel limestone units.
Durango has received a preliminary report which includes a recommended drill program for limestone unit #5 based on the lithological defined contacts between the limestone, the intrusive units and dikes to prove up limestone tonnage and consistency.
Historical reports state limestone unit #5 is expected to host the lowest purity of calcium carbonate due to the nearby dikes and intrusive units, however recent visits show that 62% of the samples taken are composed by high purity limestone superior to 96.3%. Limestone unit #5 measures 1.6km long and Durango is interested in determining the calcium carbonate levels at depth to gain an understanding of the potential tonnage of unit #5. Once the drilling/bulk tonnage is completed both volume and quality can be estimated for unit #5. Durango plans to drill limestone units #1 and #3 later as they are known to be high quality and a generous size.
B.C. Premier John Horgan made an announcement in relation to a “final investment decision on LNG Canada’s $40B-billion project, which would include a natural gas pipeline built from northeast B.C. to a new terminal in Kitimat as reported in the Financial Post on March 22, 2018 http://business.financialpost.com/commodities/energy/b-c-announces-rebates-conditions-for-liquefied-natural-gas-projects.
Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango stated, “Although it is unclear if the Kitimat LNG will proceed, the $40B project still has as pulse, as the Canadian Press reported on April 26, 2018 https://www.castanet.net/news/Business/224860/BC-LNG-contract-awarded that the contract to design and build the proposed $40-billion project was awarded to joint venture contractors Fluor Corp. and JGC Corp. Durango’s limestone property is strategically positioned between Terrace and Kitimat with both rail and road access which makes the potential LNG project very exciting.”
