Vancouver, BC - TheNewswire - May 14, 2024 – Durango Resources Inc.

Durango’s NMX East property is located on the east side of the Whabouchi Lithium Mine and also near to Power Nickel’s Nisk property (TSXV-PNPN) who recently announced a delineation of a new polymetallic discovery. The claim boundaries of Power Nickel are less than 8km from Durango’s NMX East property as can be seen on the map below. https://www.bmcms1.com/staging/durangoresourcesinc.com/_resources/news/nr-20240514-figure1.jpg?v=0.1
