,
July 10, 2024
/CNW/ - Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSXV: KTN) (the "
Company
" or
"
Kootenay
") is pleased to announce that it has established an "at-the-market" equity distribution
program (the "
ATM Program
"). The ATM Program allows Kootenay to issue and sell, at its
discretion, common shares in the capital of Kootenay ("
Common Shares
") that would have the
aggregate sales amount of up to
$5,000,000
, to the public from time to time through Research
Capital Corporation (the "
Agent
"), acting as agent. All Common Shares sold under the ATM
Program will be sold at the prevailing market price at the time of the sale, directly through the TSX
Venture Exchange or any other recognized marketplace upon which the Common Shares are listed,
quoted or otherwise traded in Canada. Kootenay currently intends to use the net proceeds from the
ATM Program to the extent raised, for the advancement of the Columba Silver Project and for
general corporate purposes.
Distribution of Common Shares under the ATM Program will be made pursuant to the terms of an
equity distribution agreement (the "
Equity
Distribution Agreement
") dated
July 4, 2024
entered
into between Kootenay and the Agent.
The ATM Program will be effective until the earlier of: (i) the issuance and sale of all of the Common
Shares issuable pursuant to the ATM Program; and (ii)
April 27, 2026
, unless terminated prior to
such date by Kootenay or the Agent. As Common Shares sold in the ATM Program will be issued
and sold at the prevailing market price at the time of the sale, prices may vary among purchasers
during the period of distribution. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the
Company will compensate the Agent for its services in acting as agent in sale of the Common
Shares pursuant to the ATM Offering in cash in an amount equal to 2.5% of the gross proceeds
from sales of the Common Shares.
The offering under the ATM Program is qualified by a prospectus supplement dated
July 4, 2024
(the "
Prospectus Supplement
") to Kootenay's final short form base shelf prospectus filed in all of
the provinces and territories of
Canada
, dated
March 27, 2024
(the "
Base Shelf Prospectus
").

Prospectus may be obtained on request, without charge, from the Corporate Secretary of Kootenay
Silver Inc. at Suite 1125 - 595 Howe Street,

as anticipated by management and the risk that the Company does not receive the requisite
regulatory approvals for the ATM Program.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information or implied by forward-
