In this company update, we speak with Jim McDonald, President and CEO of Kootenay Silver (TSX.V:KTN – OTCQX: KOOYF), to discuss the final drill results from the 20,000 meter 2024 program at the Columba Project in Mexico.
The spotlight is on Hole 199 from the high-grade D Vein – delivering 620 g/t silver over 16 meters, including narrower zones with bonanza-grade silver and high base metal credits. Jim outlines how this hole, along with others, confirms a thickened, enriched zone on the western end of the D Vein, which remains open at depth.
We also discuss:
- How recent drilling supports the upcoming maiden resource estimate
- The exploration potential along the under-drilled eastern side of the D Vein
- The significance of Hole 196B and the depth extension it implies
- Next steps, including plans for a 20,000-meter follow-up program
Jim also compares Columba’s wide, high-grade intercepts to other discoveries in Mexico, calling it Kootenay’s most promising project to date.
