Kootenay Silver Targets Resource Growth at High-Grade Columba Silver Discovery

Active drilling aims to expand maiden resource in Mexico

Why is Kootenay Silver drilling the Columba discovery?

Kootenay Silver is conducting an active drill program at its Columba discovery in Mexico to expand a maiden resource of 54 million ounces of silver and evaluate the project’s potential for future economic development.

Silver exploration success often builds through multiple discoveries within the same geological region.

Kootenay Silver has demonstrated that approach in Mexico.

Since becoming a public company in 2005, the company has made four silver discoveries, assembling a portfolio of deposits that together contain more than 200 million ounces of pure silver and approximately 100 million ounces of additional silver-equivalent resources.

The company’s most recent discovery, Columba, has become the primary focus of its exploration efforts.

A maiden resource released in May of last year outlined approximately 54 million ounces of silver in the inferred category.

The deposit also stands out for its grade, averaging approximately 284 grams per tonne silver, which places it among higher-grade silver exploration projects.

Kootenay Silver is now advancing an extensive drill program aimed at expanding the mineralized zones identified at Columba.

According to management, the drilling campaign is expected to generate steady exploration news through the remainder of the year.

The long-term objective is to grow the deposit and progress the project toward its first economic evaluation.

For investors, projects with both high grades and resource expansion potential often attract attention as exploration advances.

Kootenay Silver’s current drilling program is designed to test exactly that potential.
