Vancouver, BC / October 31, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango”) reports that further to its news release of September 21, 2016, it is accepting bids to drill the recently discovered lithium bearing pegmatites on its wholly owned NMX East ground adjacent to Nemaska Lithium (TSX-NMX) near Nemaska, Quebec.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO comments: “With the Paris Climate Agreement taking effect November 4, 2016, Durango believes there will be unprecedented growth in carbon free energy sources including electric vehicle growth. Electric vehicles use a majority of lithium ion batteries as their power source so it stands to reason that lithium demand will continue to rise.”
