–News Direct– Kootenay Silver CEO Jim McDonald provided significant updates on the company's ongoing drilling program at the Columba Silver Project in Chihuahua, Mexico, during an interview with Steve Darling from Proactive.

These holes are crucial as they increase the volume of mineralization in the D Vein shoot with impressive grades and widths. One highlight from the drilling program is hole CDH-23-138, which revealed 13.56 meters core-length averaging 599 gpt silver, 0.5% lead, and 1.2% zinc from 182.94 meters downhole.

These figures underscore the dynamic nature of the market and the challenges these newly listed companies face in maintain...
