KOOTENAY REPORTS PRIORITY TARGETS ON THE CERVANTES PORPHYRY GOLD-COPPER PROJECT IN SONORA, MEXICO
June 25, 2020
Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSXV: KTN; OTC: KOOYF) (the “Company” or “Kootenay”) announces its partner on the Cervantes porphyry gold-copper property in Sonora, Mexico (the “Project”), Aztec Minerals Corp. (“Aztec”), reports final interpretation of a 3-Dimensional IP-Resistivity survey identifying multiple chargeability anomalies over a 5 kilometer (km) long corridor. (view IP chargeability map here) on the Project. https://tinyurl.com/y7je38fu
Numerous IP anomalies are associated with the previously mapped and sampled porphyry corridor (view geological map here https://tinyurl.com/y9c7mynm ) that extends at least 5 km long and up to 2 km wide from the California zone southwest through the Jasper, Estrella, Purisima East and Purisima West targets.
Six porphyry prospects along the corridor exhibit strong porphyry alteration and gold (copper) mineralization (view geochemical map here https://tinyurl.com/y8l24b7b ) within and adjacent to outcropping quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusions and diatreme breccias. The Jacobo target not covered by this 3-D IP survey may add an additional 2 km of length to the porphyry corridor to the southwest. Because the IP anomalies are closely associated with the mapped porphyry style mineralization it is interpreted they may reflect buried sulfides (potentially gold and copper bearing) typical of porphyry-type mineralization.
The 3-D survey encompassed 23.1 line km to cover the Purisima West, Purisima East and Estrella targets as well as an additional 4.5 line km of 2-D IP to tie into the 2-D IP survey conducted in 2016 (view 2016 IP chargeability map here https://tinyurl.com/yct7ovdc ). The benefit of 3-D IP surveys is to provide better definition of the size and shape of conductive or resistive bodies at depth.
