Durango Completes Site Visits to NMX East Lithium and Discovery Gold Properties

Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / April 12, 2022 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTCQB -ATOXF), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces that further to the news of March 17, 2022, the Company has completed a site visit to its wholly owned NMX East Property and Discovery Property in Québec.

The Company’s NMX East lithium property 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 which is cited to be the world’s second richest spodumene deposit hosting over 27Mt of proven and probable reserves.

Durango completed a limited reconnaissance program on the NMX East property in late March in preparation for drill testing the lithium bearing pegmatite occurrences below the surface which is planned to take place in the summer of 2022. The small crew was commissioned with determining access and obtaining surface samples as the weather permitted. Despite the deep snow cover, the crew was able to complete an exploratory backpack drill hole of approximately one meter of the surface pegmatite which has been sent for analysis to Loring Laboratories in Calgary, Alberta.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO stated, “Durango is pleased that our exploration crew was able to obtain rock samples from both the NMX East Property and the Discovery Property which will enable us to catch a glimpse of what is transpiring in the rocks below surface which is key for follow up exploration. We wanted to test fresh rock on the NMX East project to get an idea of the lithium-cesium-tantalum (“LCT”) potential of the untested outcrops at surface. The Discovery Property recently returned significant gold grades at surface in our channel sampling, so we are excited to test the rocks immediately below surface.”

Durango’s exploration crew was able to complete a brief site visit to the Discovery Property on the way back from visiting the NMX East project. Durango’s exploration crew was able to complete a 2.8m backpack drill hole near the area where the recent channel sampling returned grades of 9.25 g/t gold over one meter (see news release January 17, 2022). The samples have been sent for assay for analysis and additional information will be reported as it becomes available.
