Kootenay Silver Inc. reported drilling is progressing well at the Columba silver project, located in Chihuahua State, Mexico. The Company has completed 12 core drill holes totaling over 1,800 meters, testing the F Vein as part of the 5,000-meter drill program. Results will be announced when received and compiled, although assay turnaround time is currently much longer than normally experienced due to laboratory delays. The company also reports that the drill rig is now testing an area east of the J-Z Zone where mapping in 2020 indicated the down faulted extension of northeast trending veins of the J-Z Zone may occur. This area, referred to as the East Block, is approximately 1,000 meters to the east of the F Vein. Previous drill highlights in the J-Z Zone include such intercepts found in hole CDH 20-030 (415 gpt silver over 11.15 meters including 721 gpt silver over 4.07 meters) and hole CDH 20-060 (132 gpt silver over 64 meters including 361 gpt silver over 11 meters including 608 gpt silver over 5.0 meters, and 1,160 gpt silver over 1.0 meters all within 229 gpt silver over 22 meters).
