Copalito Silver-Gold Project Completes Five Additional Core Holes
VANCOUVER – Kootenay Silver Inc. reported results from five additional core holes recently completed on the 5 Senores Vein at the Copalito silver-gold project, located in Sinaloa State, Mexico.
James McDonald, President and CEO, said, “The 5 Señores Vein is proving to be a well mineralized structure with excellent potential to host significant gold and silver resources. Drilling has now tested 600 meters of the 1 kilometer known vein strike on surface.  Ten of the twelve holes drilled less than 100 meters from surface indicate that mineralization remains open along strike and to depth providing lots of room for expansion.”
The 5 Senores vein is comprised of a mineralized structure with two parallel veins. These veins are comprised of both silicified breccia and classic banded quartz, quartz-calcite and calcite veining. The polymetallic veins are hosted in a volcanic andesite sequence with weak propylic alteration within faults and contact with a dioritic intrusive to the southwest. The veins are mainly quartz, with massive and crustiform textures and quartz-chalcedony bands. Dark gray bands indicate the presence of sulfides in these textures. Also local zones of carbonates mainly calcite can also carry very high grades of precious metals. Mineralization is comprised of disseminated pyrite of 1% or less with varying amounts of sphalerite (<1 to 5%), galena (<1 to 3%) and probable acanthite.
