Kootenay Silver Inc. has announced that drilling is underway for its Q1/Q2 diamond drilling program at the Columba Silver Project in Mexico. The program, comprising 15-17 drillholes totaling approximately 5,000 meters, is primarily focused on exploring the highly prospective D-Vein target.
According to Kootenay Silver CEO Jim McDonald, the current drilling program is designed to extend the D-Vein in preparation for a follow-up program, which is likely to consist of 15,000 meters of drilling. ‘The primary objective of this program is to expand upon previous intercepts along the D-Vein target, which has shown promising signs of silver mineralization,’ McDonald stated.
The company aims to delineate a maiden resource by late 2024, pending additional drilling beyond the initial 5,000 meters and the necessary financing. In addition to the D-Vein target, Kootenay Silver maintains a priority list of new vein targets and known vein extensions, all of which warrant further drill testing. The first assay results from the current drilling program are expected within 4 to 6 weeks, providing valuable insights into the project’s potential. McDonald emphasized that the company is focused on advancing the Columba Silver Project, which has shown promising signs of silver mineralization.
