  • CAL22-05 represents the best gold mineralized intersection drilled to date at the Cervantes project
  • Initial gold results from 15 additional drill holes are expected over the coming weeks


VANCOUVER, March 2, 2022 - Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSXV: KTN) (the "Company" or "Kootenay") is pleased to announce project partner and operator Aztec Minerals has reported on 3 more holes from the Cervantes project in Sonora, Mexico.

California Zone Drill Highlights

  • CAL22-005
    • 1.486 gpt Au over 136.8 m, including 51.7 metres of 3.424 gpt Au at the southern edge of the central part of the mineralized zone some 50 meters from hole CAL22-004 that previously reported 1.0 gpt Au over 167 meters with 24.4 meters of 4.25 gpt Au.
  • CAL22-006
    • 0.75 gpt Au over 100.3 m including 3.087 gpt Au. Over 9.1 meters at the northern edge of the central portion of the mineralized zone
  • CAL22-007
    • 0.422 gpt Au over 63.8 m located at the northern edge of the central portion of the mineralized zone

To-date, every hole drilled at California has intersected near surface, oxidized gold mineralization with minor copper oxides. There are 13 more holes pending from the California zone with one pending from each of the Jasper and California North targets.

Reported lengths are apparent widths, not true widths, and the observed gold mineralization appears to be widely distributed in disseminations, fractures and veinlets within quartz-feldspar porphyry, feldspar porphyry stocks and related hydrothermal breccias.

Holes CAL22-005, 006 and 007 intersected extensive gold mineralization, see table below, extending the known mineralized zone at depth and to the north and to the south and covers an area now measuring approximately 900 metres long by 250 to 500 metres wide, with demonstrated, continuous mineralization up to 265 metres depth vertically. The porphyry gold-copper mineralization is still open in all directions.

Drill samples cuttings are collected every 5 feet (1.52m) from all drill holes. The samples are analyzed by Bureau Veritas for gold with a 30-gram sample size using the method FA430 followed by MA300. Over limits, when present, are analyzed by AR404 or FA550. All holes contain certified blanks, standards, and duplicates as part of the quality control program. The QA/QC has delivered excellent results to date good data integrity. The samples are shipped to and received by Bureau Veritas Minerals laboratory for the gold and multielement geochemical analysis and additional gold results will be received and reported in the next several weeks. Final multielement ICP results are expected to follow the release of the preliminary gold assays and are expected to be received during the second quarter 2022.
