High-grade Columba silver project
Kootenay Silver announces that additional assay results from outcropping quartz veins continue to support the potential for the discovery of a high-grade silver deposit at the Company’s newly acquired Columba silver project located in Chihuahua State, Mexico.
Columba hosts former producing high-grade silver mine that covers a classic high-grade silver epithermal system comprised of numerous veins. The Property has never been systematically explored during modern times. Initial exploration by the Company traced mineralized veins on surface over strike lengths of 200 meters to up to 2 kilometers, while sampling returned widths of 0.5 to 6 meters with grades of up to 692 grams per tonne silver.
Exploration work at Columba is continuing prior to the commencement of drilling which is anticipated to begin in Q1 2019. The strategy of the upcoming drill program will focus on confirming high grades reported from historic underground sampling and production data.
