[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BC, March 20, 2025 /CNW/ - Kootenay Resources Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"KTRI\") is pleased to announce plans to advance the Sweet Spot Pb-Zn-Ag +/- Cu property on the Canada/USA border 15 kilometers east of Yahk, British Columbia. The property forms a non-contiguous portion of the company's large Moyie Anticline Project - an early stage Pb-Zn-Ag +/- Cu exploration program designed to discover tier one deposits in the Belt Super Group Rocks. Rocks known to host tier one deposits such as Sullivan (lead, zinc and silver), the Couer D'Alene (silver, copper, lead, zinc), and Montanore (copper, silver). The journey to a Tier One discovery. To date work on Moyie Anticline Project has identified numerous high priority mineral targets, one of which is Sweet Spot. High priority drill target at Sweet Spot with potential for a large silver, lead, zinc base metal discovery. One of several identified on the Moyie Anticline Project. KTRI work results in a high priority target at Sweet Spot; Large undrilled conductive zones. Significant lead, zinc and silver mineralization in a historic drilling. Extensive alteration and soil geochemistry. The size of the conductive area and its association with anomalous mineralization and alteration make this a high priority target for drill testing and the discovery of a large silver-base metal deposit. Innovative approach KTRI is applying existing technologies in an innovative way to make the next tier one discovery. The science Research work in Australia using deep seeing Magnetotelluric (\"MT\") surveys shows large tier one deposits sit atop 'super' deep, broad conductive zones that are tens of kilometers deep. This includes Olympic Dam one of the largest deposits in the world. (see diagram). Similar research in Canada shows the large gold camps in the Archean greenstone belts have similar deep conductive zones. Apply research break throughs and unique limonite fracture geochem sampling with portable XRF machines (used to measure metal content) with existing technologies to enable economic/efficient assaying of thousands of samples for the refinement of drill targets from vast areas of prospective geology at a regional-scale. The approach Run MT surveys at wide spaced intervals to find the deep conductive zones wit...
