About Kootenay Resources Inc.
Kootenay Resources Inc. is an exploration company actively engaged in the exploration and
discovery of tier one mineral deposits in
British Columbia, Canada
. The Company was formed as a
spin-out of Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSXV: KTN) in which prospective Canadian assets were
transferred to Kootenay Resources Inc. The transaction was completed in
October 2021
, Kootenay
Silver Inc. currently holds ~5.4 million common shares of Kootenay Resources Inc. Exploration
efforts are focused on first the Moyie Anticline project and second the Nechacko Plateau region of
B.C.
The Moyie Anticline region of the Purcell basin has long been considered prospective for the
discovery of tier one deposits as the Purcell basin is host to tier one deposits such as the world-
famous Sullivan deposit,
Kimberley, BC
, the Couer D'Alene silver belt in
Idaho
and famous Butte
copper porphyry in
Montana
. In the fall of 2021, Kootenay commissioned two new innovative surveys
to aid in the discovery of a tier one deposit. The first was a regional style MT survey designed to
find deep conductive zones. Research has demonstrated deep conductive feeders appear to be
feeders to shallower large deposits around the world. Deposits such as Olympic Dam and well
known gold camps in
Canada's
greenstone belts such as
Red Lake
. A survey comprising 86 MT
stations dispersed across the Moyie Anticline Project area successfully identified a number of deep
conductors. In 2023 Kootenay followed up with an additional 47 MT stations across the project. The
surveys identified 7 conductors with tier one size potential. The second innovative approach was to
conduct limonite sampling in fractures. The idea is limonites which are oxidized sulfides will reveal
which areas are carrying metals of interest like silver, lead, zinc and copper and thus where tier one
deposits may have formed at depth. Over 7000 samples in over 600 sites were analysed with a
portable XRF machine.
The results of these surveys combined with known mineralized showings and trends have defined the
first 4 high priority follow up areas to advance to drilling.
These two innovative approaches were developed by Dr.
Fred Cook
, Craig, Tom,
Mike and Sean
Kennedy
and Dr.
Tom Richards
. We believe if the Moyie Anticline project hosts a tier one deposit
this approach will discover it.
In addition to the Moyie Anticline Project, Kootenay Resources is advancing several early-stage
gold-silver targets in the Nechako region of central
British Columbia
. Currently two properties from
Kootenay's six-project portfolio are under option and being explored by Thompson River Metals
Company, a fully owned subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc.
