Kootenay Silver Extends High-Grade Silver Strike at Columba Project with Promising New Drill Results

Kootenay Silver Inc CEO James McDonald joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news about the latest drilling results from the company's Columba Silver Project in Mexico. The latest findings highlight ongoing exploration success along the "D-Vein," revealing the longest and most consistent zone of silver mineralization discovered on the project to date. McDonald emphasized that the recent drilling has not only confirmed the presence of a vertical zonation pattern, with silver grades increasing at greater depths but has also pinpointed the most productive areas of the vein system. Notably, the most significant grades have been identified at elevations below 1,750 meters above sea level, demonstrating the potential for deeper, high-grade mineralization. The D-Vein's strike length has now been extended to 1,080 meters, incorporating a substantial 400-meter stepout between drilling holes. Ongoing drilling efforts continue to methodically advance along the D-Vein, focusing on closing 100-to-300-meter gaps between previous drilling points. Following this, the team plans to explore even deeper, targeting some of the most impressive intercepts recorded so far, including a remarkable 1,746 grams per tonne (gpt) silver over 9.7 meters, within a broader interval of 540 gpt silver over 34 meters. The 2024 drilling program has already achieved significant progress, with 5,153 meters drilled across 17 holes, more than doubling the known strike length of the D-Vein. This vein is just one of several high-priority targets within the Columba project, which has consistently delivered some of the most striking results in Kootenay Silver's exploration history. This current phase of drilling is part of a fully funded follow-up program, aiming to complete 20,000 meters in total. The ultimate goal of this extensive exploration effort is to delineate a maiden resource estimate, which is anticipated by late 2024. The promising results from the D-Vein drilling not only underscore the project's significant silver potential but also position Kootenay Silver for further success as they continue to unlock value from this high-grade silver asset. #proactiveinvestors #kootenaysilverinc #tsxv #ktn #drlling #mining #columba #ColumbaProject #SilverExploration #MiningNews #DrillResults #ResourceExpansion #PreciousMetals #VeinSystem #JuniorMining #SilverInvesting #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
