Kootenay Silver Inc announced another big silver intercept at its Columba silver project in Mexico.
Results from three holes on the D Vein at the project included one intercept of 453 grams per ton (g/t) silver over 29.9 metres, including 1,915 g/t silver over 0.85 metres, according to a release from the company.
Another hole intersected 193 g/t silver over 14.56 metres, including 592 g/t silver over 0.75 metres, while a third hole returned 98 g/t silver over 77 metres, including an intercept of 1,100 g/t silver over 1 metre.

The Vancouver-based company told shareholders that, when multiplying grams per tonne by number of metres drilled, drill hole BDH-21-110 (453 g/t silver over 29.9 metres) was the second-highest intercept to date at 13,545 gram-metres.
An earlier hole returned a high of 14,652 gram metres, the highest intercept recorded at Columba.
"These results demonstrate excellent potential for the definition and development of high-grade resources at Columba,” CEO James McDonald said in a statement. “The D Vein now represents another area with multiple high-grade intercepts which increases the probability that Columba hosts a viable high grade silver resource."
Kootenay’s chief geologic engineer Gustavo Gallego told shareholders that the results at the D vein encourage the team to propose more drilling to define a high-grade silver resource in the near future. “We are confident that we will continue to find high-grade silver and thus confirm the interpretations we have developed from our surface mapping program."
Columba is located in Chihuahua State, Mexico.
