In today’s market, where quality silver discoveries are few and far between, Kootenay has positioned itself as a leader with size, grade, and growth potential all working in its favor.
As step-out drilling continues to define its deposits, analysts see enormous upside that could place Kootenay at the center of the next major silver cycle.
With some analysts forecasting silver may surge to $50 an ounce in the near term, the leverage to rising prices could be transformative for early Kootenay shareholders. For investors seeking exposure to silver with both scale and blue-sky exploration upside, Kootenay should be on your radar!
Kootenay is quickly emerging as a compelling story in the silver space, backed by the credibility of major names already on board. With Eric Sprott, one of the world’s most recognized precious metals investors, and Condire, a respected resource-focused fund, both holding significant positions, Kootenay has the kind of endorsement that signals real upside potential.
One of the most compelling parts of the Kootenay Silver story is the wave of high-profile buyouts that has swept across Mexico’s silver sector in recent years. Investors don’t need to look far for proof:
The parallels to Vizsla Silver are also striking. Vizsla’s stock surged from $1.50 to just under $5.00 as the market recognized the scale of its discovery and the potential for a takeover. Vizsla has already a $1.5B market cap!
Coeur Mining acquired SilverCrest Metals in an all-stock deal valued at approximately $1.7 billion.
First Majestic Silver acquired Gatos Silver in a transaction valued at approximately $970 million.
Pan American Silver is acquiring MAG Silver for approximately $2.1 billion.
The company has a market cap of UNDER $100M, a portfolio of district-scale projects, and growing attention from the industry. This setup is hard to ignore!
Kootenay Silver Inc. is an exploration company actively engaged in the discovery and development of mineral projects in the Sierra Madre Region of Mexico.
Supported by one of the largest junior portfolios of silver assets in Mexico, Kootenay continues to provide its shareholders with significant leverage to silver prices.
Mexico has long been the world’s top silver-producing nation, yet it often flies under the radar of mainstream investors. The country has been the world’s #1 silver producer for more than a decade, accounting for roughly one-quarter of global annual output.
With over 500 years of mining expertise, the country boasts some of the richest and most accessible silver vein systems on Earth. Many deposits remain underexplored or largely untouched, offering significant upside for companies that can uncover high-grade resources.
Favorable mining laws, well-established infrastructure, and a skilled local workforce make Mexico both a low-risk and high-reward jurisdiction for silver exploration. For investors, this combination of rich geology, operational efficiency, and untapped potential creates a compelling opportunity to participate in the next wave of silver discoveries before they hit the global spotlight.
Kootenay’s projects are located in the famous Sierra Madre Trend depicted by the red line seen below.
Historically large discoveries have been made in this area!
Kootenay Silver is turning heads in the silver world with its 100%-owned Columba Project in Chihuahua, Mexico—a high-grade, largely untapped deposit that has been overlooked for DECADES.
What was once a forgotten mine, the Company’s flag ship Columba project is now emerging as one of the most promising silver exploration stories around.
AND AT WHAT COULD BE THE PERFECT TIME.
A major drill program has commenced, and a PEA is anticipated within the next year!
The Columba Project, acquired 100% by Kootenay, represents a landmark discovery.
Columba’s large, thick veins, preserved geological setting, and ongoing exploration position it as a compelling play in the emerging multi-year silver bull market!
Initially mined in the early 1900s and briefly revisited in the mid-20th century, the property had seen almost no modern exploration for nearly 40 years. Historical assays indicated consistent high-grade silver, which drew the company’s attention. Upon drilling, the team discovered new veins, including the highly significant D vein, which accounts for about 60% of the current resource.
The project is largely preserved from erosion , offering a geologist’s ideal scenario with veins appearing almost exactly as they were originally deposited. The mineralized footprint spans roughly 4 km by 3 km, comparable to other major Mexican vein districts that host 100–300 million ounces of silver. After completing 50,000+ meters of drilling, Kootenay has already defined a substantial maiden resource and sees tremendous potential for expansion!
Kootenay’s upcoming 50,000-meter drill program is focused on expansion drilling, particularly around the D vein. The goal is to define the edges of existing resource blocks and increase overall volume, rather than converting to a higher confidence category at this stage. Management believes there is realistic potential to increase the resource by 50–100% in this next round, targeting low-hanging fruit with high-probability drill hits.
The Columba Project consists of a swarm of veins, with roughly a dozen principal structures identified. The majority of drilling to date has focused on three veins, with 85–90% of the maiden resource contained within these. The D vein, in particular, features wide, high-grade mineralization and remains open for expansion both along strike and at depth. This approach ensures that drilling is highly targeted, maximizing the probability of resource growth while minimizing risk
Alongside the expansion drilling, Kootenay is launching a comprehensive metallurgical program over six to eight months to support a future PEA. Regular drilling updates are expected over the next 8–10 months as the team continues to explore the full potential of Columba and other high-priority veins.
The company is set to commence the first stage of its 50,000-meter drilling program at the high-grade Columba silver project in Mexico. The drilling program, funded by a $20 million investment, aims to expand known mineralized zones and explore new targets, with a focus on reaching the 100-million-ounce threshold that typically attracts strategic acquisition interest from major mining companies.
The Columba project’s geological setting, characterized by exceptional preservation within an old volcanic caldera, provides significant depth and expansion potential. Drilling has confirmed mineralization extending to 540 meters depth and a 4-kilometer by 3-kilometer vein system footprint, comparable to major Mexican silver districts.
Kootenay Silver's CEO, James McDonald, has outlined the drilling strategy, which will initially focus on expanding known mineralized zones before testing new targets. The systematic grid-based drilling program is expected to provide regular news flow and resource updates throughout 2025.
The company's management team, with extensive experience in Mexican silver exploration and a track record of successful asset development, is well-positioned to execute this strategic drilling program.
La Cigarra: A High-Grade Silver Project in Mexico’s Parral Mining District
Kootenay Silver’s La Cigarra Project in Chihuahua sits just 26 km from the historic silver city of Parral, a district that has produced more than 800 million ounces to date. With excellent infrastructure—including road access, power, water, and surface rights secured—La Cigarra is positioned for development in a proven mining camp.
The project hosts a current NI 43-101 resource of 51.6 million ounces Measured & Indicated and 11 million ounces Inferred at 102 g/t silver, representing a meaningful grade increase from the 2015 estimate. Mineralization has been traced along a 9 km trend, with drilling outlining a continuous 4.4 km mineralized corridor and significant expansion potential at depth and along strike.
Importantly, higher-than-average grades occur at surface, which could enhance early project economics, while gold, lead, and zinc credits add additional upside. With room to grow toward a potentially much larger system, La Cigarra offers investors exposure to one of Mexico’s most promising undeveloped silver projects.
Promontorio Silver Resource: A District-Scale Play in Sonora
Kootenay Silver’s Promontorio Project in Sonora, Mexico, has seen over 65,000 metres of drilling, outlining a resource of 140.8 million silver-equivalent ounces Measured & Indicated (104 g/t AgEq) plus 39.8 million ounces Inferred (84.9 g/t AgEq). The deposit remains open in three directions and at depth, with recent drilling delivering strong high-grade results in the NE zone.
The project sits within the Promontorio Mineral Belt, which also hosts the nearby La Negra high-grade silver discovery, included in the latest NI 43-101 resource estimate filed in November 2023. Importantly, advanced metallurgical testing confirmed recoveries for gold, boosting silver-equivalent grades and total ounces.
With a history of investment—including US$3.6 million spent by Pan American Silver during their option period (2016–2019)—Promontorio is a large, growing resource in a proven silver district with significant upside potential
La Negra: High-Grade Silver Discovery with Open-Pit Potential
Kootenay Silver’s La Negra Project in Sonora, Mexico, is emerging as one of the most exciting silver discoveries within the Promontorio Mineral Belt. The maiden NI 43-101 resource estimate (Nov. 2023) outlines 22 million silver-equivalent ounces Indicated (129 g/t AgEq) and 4.6 million ounces Inferred (115 g/t AgEq), with mineralization starting at surface and extending to over 300 metres.
Drilling—95 holes to date—has consistently returned wide zones of high-grade silver, including standout intercepts such as 156 g/t over 200m with a 6m interval grading 1,337 g/t. Early drilling averaged 107–150 g/t across broad widths, supporting the potential for a large, open-pit mine.
Originally discovered in 2014 and advanced through a US$3.6 million option agreement with Pan American Silver, La Negra continues to grow. New exploration has already identified additional mineralized trends nearby, suggesting significant expansion potential across the broader belt.
A silver rally may be waiting in the wings…
Silver is rapidly emerging as one of the most critical metals in the global shift toward green energy and high-tech innovation. No longer just a precious metal, silver plays a central role across multiple industries—from solar energy and electric vehicles to medical devices and water purification—making it a dynamic opportunity for investors.
Unlike gold, which is primarily a store of value, silver benefits from strong industrial demand. In 2025, the market is being driven by two powerful forces: soaring demand from green technologies and a supply that continues to lag behind consumption.
Analysts generally hold a bullish outlook for silver in the coming years, with some predicting it could reach $50 per ounce by early 2026. This optimism is fueled by strong industrial demand, particularly in sectors like solar panels, electric vehicles, and electronics, as well as potential for a "silver squeeze" due to diminished freely traded inventories.
Although the silver price is influenced by many of the same drivers as gold, it typically lags the gold price and has greater price volatility – largely driven by its smaller market size compared to that of gold. Red Cloud Securities notes that the gold:silver ratio is still elevated compared to the long-term historical average of ~70:1, which suggests that silver is still inexpensive compared to gold.
The long-term gold:silver ratio suggests that silver is currently priced at a ~23% discount to gold. In other words, the current gold price implies a silver price of ~US$47.40/oz. The ratio has been above the average ratio of ~80:1 since the fall of 2014 when the price of silver de-coupled from gold, as investors broadly wrote off silver as just a derivative of an industrial metal.
The silver market has entered a powerful new bull cycle, breaking free from years of consolidation and setting higher bases. With demand soaring from solar, EVs, and green energy technologies, silver is being hailed as “the new gold.”
Few companies are better positioned to capitalize than Kootenay Silver (TSXV: KTN; OTCQX: KOOYF).
Why Kootenay?
The Opportunity… Kootenay offers investors rare leverage to silver’s upside at precisely the right moment: the right metal, in the right jurisdiction, at the right time.
Fully funded, discovery-driven, and strategically positioned, Kootenay isn’t just set to ride silver’s bull run—it could emerge as one of its breakout winners!
The recent $20 million financing secured by the company provides a strong foundation for the drilling program. Kootenay’s story combines the right metal, the right jurisdiction, and the right timing.
REMEMBER: A PEA on Columba is anticipated within the next year!
