Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSXV: KTN) filed the first technical report for its wholly-owned Columba silver property in Chihuahua State, Mexico.
The report summarizes work done to date, which includes more than 27,000m of drilling in 135 holes, detailed and regional geologic mapping and sampling over five principal veins and numerous subsidiary veins.
The report recommends further drilling on the principal veins with both an increase of drill density to 50m spacing and exploratory drilling along undrilled and under drilled veins. It also recommends a metallurgical programme on the principal areas of mineralization.
Columba hosts a vein district of classic epithermal veins which exhibit excellent potential for high grades as evidenced by drilling to date. The vein system is almost entirely preserved from erosion at the levels where silver mineralization begins. Thus, grades can be seen to increase significantly from surface to depth.
Drill highlights included:
- Hole CDH-22-125: 5,840g/t Ag over 2.5m within 541g/t Ag over 34.5m
- Hole CHD-21-103: 9,840g/t Ag over 0.9m within 828g/t Ag over 17m
- Hole CDH-20-082: 1,186g/t Ag over 4.6m within 691g/t Ag over 9.0m and 115g/t Ag over 70.5m
- Hole CDH-20-049: 763g/t Ag over 2.8m including 2,010g/t Ag over 1.0m
- Hole CDH-19-012: 699g/t Ag over 2.1m and 755g/t Ag over 1.8m
The report was prepared by independent consultants Moose Mountain Technical Services and authored by Sue Bird P.Eng., with an effective date of 17 March 2023 and an issue date of 28 July 2023.
