Results include three holes (DH 54 to 56) of in-fill drilling of the Pit Resource and four holes (DH 58 to 61) into the Southwest Zone outside of the Pit Resource designed to confirm continuity between the two mineralized areas. Results from the first seven holes demonstrate widely disseminated Zones of silver mineralization extend beyond current resource boundaries and continuation of higher grades within the Pit Resource.
States Kootenay President and CEO James McDonald "We are very pleased with results from the first seven holes of our 25,000 meter drill program. Not only is diamond drilling continuing to hit higher grades of silver at depth where previous drilling bottomed out in silver mineralization within the Pit resource itself, equally important to our resource expansion program, we are seeing continuity of silver mineralization developing in the Southwest Zone from step-out drilling that returned impressive intervals and grades of widespread silver mineralization extending to depth".
