Kootenay Resources announces completion of Copley project data review

In British Columbia, Kootenay Resources Inc. has recently completed a desktop data review on its early-stage mineral exploration site known as the Copley project. This comprehensive review evaluated work carried out at the site from 2022 to 2024, conducted by Centerra Gold Inc. The work included extensive diamond drilling, geophysical surveys, and soil sampling, along with significant financial investment of nearly $3 million into the project. The Copley property, which spans 3,728 hectares and is located south of Fraser Lake, showcases notable mineralization of gold and copper, revealed through previous drilling and sampling efforts. The findings reported a variety of promising drill results and highlighted new geophysical anomalies that warrant further investigation, prompting Kootenay Resources to express eagerness in following up on these discoveries. Significant drilling results have been obtained from the East Dome and Smoking Pipe areas, showcasing high-grade mineralization with various intersections that include substantial amounts of copper, gold, silver, and molybdenum. Historic mining activity in the region has revealed coherent gold anomalies that remain largely untested. The surrounding infrastructure offers ample support, with major transportation routes and close proximity to local mining-friendly communities. As exploration progresses, Kootenay Resources anticipates potential partnerships to explore these underdeveloped opportunities, which lie within an area renowned for its geological potential. Given the advanced stage of the Copley project, the company has identified strong prospects for bulk tonnage targets as well as the possibility of high-grade copper and gold discoveries. With an extensive technical database and continued exploration efforts, the pathway is clear for Kootenay Resources to advance its exploration agenda, particularly in light of the evolving market demand for such minerals. The review not only affirms the project’s credibility but also reinforces Kootenay’s strategic focus on revealing a Tier One deposit for potential stakeholders.
