KTN - Kootenay Silver completes 12 hole drill program at Columba Silver project in Mexico
(NewsDirect)
Kootenay Silver (TSX-V:KTN) CEO JimMcDonald joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss thecompany's drilling results from its 2023 diamond drilling programat the Columba Silver Project in Mexico.
The program consisting of 12 holes, totalled 3,052.8 meters ofdrilling. The primary objective of the program was to extend knownmineralization on the "D Vein" target area at the ColumbaSilver Project.
The drilling resultsfrom the final two holes of the 2023 program (CDH-23-146 andCDH-23-147) continued to identify broad zones of mineralizationadjacent to the D Vein proper. These results further expand theunderstanding of the area.
Thedrilling program has reached the southeastern extent of drilling atthe D Vein, leaving approximately 800 meters of untested extensionsbefore potentially intersecting the B Vein, another lightly drilledhigh-grade vein system at Columba.
The Columba Project hosts an extensive network ofintermediate-style epithermal quartz, carbonate, and barite veinsaligned into two broadly cross-cutting orientations. Fieldwork hasidentified numerous mineralized structures across the project, somemeasuring up to 4 kilometers in length.
The current drilling program is part of the company'sstrategy to extend the D Vein in preparation for a wider-spacedfollow-up program. The goal is to delineate a maiden resource estimatefor the project, expected in late 2024.
These drilling results and exploration efforts are significantfor Kootenay Silver as they contribute to a deeper understanding ofthe Columba Silver Project's mineralization potential and advancethe project toward resource estimation.
