20.04.2022  |  CNW

VANCOUVER, April 20, 2022 - Kootenay Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Kootenay") is pleased to announce the signing of an option agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc. ("Centerra" TSX: CG and NYSE: CGAU), whereby Centerra is granted an option to earn a 70% interest in the Copley property located in the Nechako Plateau of Central British Columbia.

A total of C$4 million in exploration expenditures and C$400,000 in cash payments must be incurred and made over a four-year period for Centerra to earn a 70% interest. The first year requires a work expenditure with a minimum commitment of $250,000.

We look forward to benefiting from Centerra's expertise and consider their participation via the option agreement a reflection of our belief that the Copley property has the potential for the discovery of million ounce gold deposits."

The Copley property is host to a large area of gold mineralization along a 6.5 km long trend. Key features include:

  • Potential to host a Blackwater-type deposit
  • 6.5x1.5 km EW belt of late-Cretaceous(?) rhyolitic flow domes and diatreme rocks
