Kootenay said it plans to focus on several prospective zones on the property, including the F Vein, which is host to historic high-grade silver underground workings that measure over 1,000 metres in length. Previous drilling on the F Vein returned results of 787 grams per ton (g/t) silver over 5.95 metres.
Other areas of focus will be the D and B Veins, which are located around 800 metres south and along strike of the F Vein, and the JZ Zone as well as the East Block, according to a statement from the company.
All of the targets have returned promising results from earlier drill programs, with the D Vein showing 932 g/t silver over 6.07 metres, and the B Vein returning 1,186 g/t silver over 4.6 metres.
The JZ Trap Zone returned an eye-popping 2,035 g/t over 6 metres, and the East Block had results of 1,190 g/t silver over 0.5 metres.
Kootenay Silver is an exploration company actively engaged in the discovery and development of mineral projects in the Sierra Madre Region of Mexico and in British Columbia.
