Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSXV:KTN) announced initial results from its current drill program on its La Cigarra silver project in Chihuahua, Mexico. The company has successfully extended silver mineralization for 1000 meters to the northwest beyond the current 2.4-kilometer-long NI- 43-101 Resource envelope, along what is known as the La Borracha Zone.
As quoted in the press release:
Kootenay Silver has successfully extended silver mineralization for 1000 meters to the northwest beyond the current 2.4-kilometer-long NI- 43-101 Resource envelope, along what is known as the La Borracha Zone.
A total of seven broadly spaced holes were drilled across the La Borracha Zone with all seven holes hitting the mineralized structure, with the two highest grading holes being the two holes furthest from the resource. Six of the seven holes are reported herein with the seventh awaiting assay results.
Highlights are as follows:
Hole CC-18-42
- 437.08 gpt silver over 10.0 meters within 267.07 gpt silver over 17.0 meters; includes samples of 947 gpt silver over 0.67 meters, 1755 gpt silver over 0.87 meters, 519 gpt silver over 1.0 meter and 1145 gpt silver over 1.0 meter.
Hole CC-18-43
- 144.05 gpt silver over 10.0 meters within 112.00 gpt silver over 16.0 meters and 61.8 gpt silver over 34.50 meters
Hole CC-18-38
- 102.80 gpt silver over 3.55 meters within 40.17 gpt silver over 22.0 meters
The mineralized structure is open along strike to the northwest as well as down dip. The results indicate the mineralized structure is continuous with the resource for an additional 1000 meters of strike to the northwest, it varies in width from about 15 to 45 meters and has been tested from surface down dip from between 50 meters and 150 meters.
James McDonald, president & CEO, commented:
We are very excited that drilling has extended silver mineralization for a full 1000 meters northwest of the La Cigarra resource. We are particularly enthused with holes 42 and 43, which are situated furthest from the resource boundary and carry the best grades indicating excellent potential for further resource expansion on strike. Moreover, the mineralization is shallow and projects to surface indicating potential for these intercepts to fall within an open pit shell. We look forward to providing further results from the current drill program as assays are received and compiled.
