VANCOUVER, Jan. 23, 2018 /CNW/ - Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSXV: KTN) (the "Company" or "Kootenay") is pleased to announce the results of the remaining nine core holes from the Company's 2017 drill program carried out at its 100% owned La Cigarra silver property, located in Chihuahua State, Mexico. The La Borracha Zone showed encouraging results along the northern extension of the La Cigarra resource all of which sits within a nine-kilometer-long mineralized trend.

Drill Highlights from Hole CC-17-37 in the La Borracha Zone:

  • 107.12 gpt silver over 8 meters within 47.75 gpt silver over 31 meters
  • 42.06 gpt silver over 15 meters (second interval)
  • A total of 46 meters of silver mineralization separated by 15 meters of rhyolite dyke.

Kootenay President and CEO James McDonald stated, "La Borracha is a very exciting target with the potential to add a significant number of new ounces to our resource. The zone has been traced on surface from the resource northward for at least 1,100 meters and the latest hole CC-17-37 indicates good grades and widths. The zone has seen very limited drilling and we are eager to commence the next round of drilling in the first half of February."

Drill Notes:

The La Borracha drill intercept in Hole CC-17-37, is about 500 meters northwest of the Resource with 107.2 gpt silver over 8.0 meters within a wider intercept of 31 meters grading 45.75 gpt silver. There is a total of 46 meters of mineralization in the hole separated by 15 meters of rhyolite dyke. The second interval grades 42 gpt silver over 15 meters. These results extend silver mineralization 100 meters down dip from a previous hole (CC-12-089), which returned an intercept of 56 gpt silver over 9.25 meters. To date, 12 holes have been drilled along the La Borracha trend with nine of those being drilled too far west to hit the main mineralized structure extending northward from the resource. Additional previous holes of note include 166 gpt silver over 4.5 meters (CC 12-93), 130 gpt silver over 2.95 meters (CC-11-29) and 455 gpt silver over 1.5 meters (CC-11-28). To view the site plan of the La Borracha Zone and a cross section, please click on the following link: http://www.kootenaysilver.com/assets/img/nr/18_03_Borracha_Plan_Section.pdf

The mineralized zone at La Borracha remains open along strike for 1,100 meters and down dip to the northeast. Surface sampling has returned strongly anomalous silver values over widths of 70-80 meters on surface. In addition to the drilling in La Borracha, the Company also completed three holes in Las Venadas and five holes in Navidad.  

Anomalous silver and elevated lead-zinc continued to be intercepted at La Venadas. Las Venadas sits about 800 meters south of the resource and includes a very broad area of mineralization in veins, vein breccias and stockworks. Follow up work will include mapping and geologic modeling to focus on those areas of best grade with particular attention to the strong and long mineralized intercepts in holes CC-17-26 and CC-17-28. The Navidad zone immediately east of the resource returned some anomalous results and no follow up drilling is anticipated at this time.

Drill widths reported are all core lengths. Hole CC-17-37 in La Borracha is interpreted to be about 90% of true width. The Venadas and Navidad true widths are not known at this time.

True widths cannot be accurately determined from the information available at this time therefore core lengths are reported.

Sampling and QA/QC

All technical information for the La Cigarra exploration program is obtained and reported under a formal quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") program. Samples are taken from core cut in half with a diamond saw under the direction of qualified geologists. Samples are then labeled placed in plastic bags, sealed and with interval and sample numbers recorded. Samples are delivered by the Company via courier to ALS Minerals ("ALS") in Chihuahua. The samples are dried, crushed and pulverized with the pulps being sent airfreight for analysis by ALS in Vancouver, B.C. Systematic assaying of standards, blanks and duplicates is performed for precision and accuracy. Analysis for silver, zinc, lead and copper and related trace elements was done by ICP four acid digestion, with gold analysis by 30-gram fire assay with an AA finish. All drilling will be with HQ or NQ core and has been contracted to BD Drilling from Guadalajara, Mexico.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

The information in this news release has been prepared as at January 22, 2018. Certain statements in this news release, referred to herein as "forward-looking statements", constitute "forward-looking statements" under the provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws. These statements can be identified by the use of words such as "expected", "may", "will" or similar terms.

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Kootenay as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, known and unknown, could cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as otherwise required by law, Kootenay expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any such statements to reflect any change in Kootenay's expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors: This news release may contain information about adjacent properties on which we have no right to explore or mine. We advise U.S. investors that the SEC's mining guidelines strictly prohibit information of this type in documents filed with the SEC. U.S. investors are cautioned that mineral deposits on adjacent properties are not indicative of mineral deposits on our properties. This news release may contain forward-looking statements including but not limited to comments regarding the timing and content of upcoming work programs, geological interpretations, receipt of property titles, potential mineral recovery processes, etc. Forward-looking statements address future events and conditions and therefore involve inherent risks and uncertainties.

This press release uses the terms "Measured", "Indicated", and "Inferred" resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a Mineral Resource is economically or legally mineable.
