Kootenay’s President & CEO, James McDonald states, “This drill program has returned excellent results expanding on the size of high-grade D Vein silver mineralization. The zone is open in both strike directions and to depth exhibiting excellent potential for further expansion. It is very exciting to think of the potential when two of our easternmost holes leave the zone wide open with high grade holes of 501 and 532 gpt silver over true widths about 4 to 5 meters within fat intervals of 228 gpt and 338 gpt silver over true widths around 12 to 9 meters respectively.”

Rick Trotman, President and CEO, states, “I am pleased to report that Barksdale has entered the targeted Paleozoic carbonate sequence, which is the host for copper-zinc-lead-silver CRD mineralization in the area. Over the next 10-15 days, we anticipate that hole SUN-003 will cross through the projection of multiple massive sulfide zones that were encountered in historic high-grade hole TCH-2. Once complete, SUN-003 will act as the mother hole for multiple wedge holes in the Boundary Zone target area.”

“Results from channel sampling at Pilar further confirm the excellent bulk tonnage grade potential at surface.” stated Brodie Sutherland, CEO. “These locations were the source of recent bulk sample material in which we poured the first produced gold and silver from Pilar. More work is scheduled to evaluate additional recovery potential with the remaining bulk sample material.”

Prime Mining Corp. Chief Executive Officer Daniel Kunz commented, “Together with prior results, post-resource drilling at Central supports the potential for an expanded, high grade, low strip ratio, open pit. These results also suggest a potential merger of Central’s currently outlined San Miguel East and Noche Buena pits.”
