NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 13, 2025 / Kootenay Resources Inc. (TSXV:KTRI) (the "Company" or "Kootenay") is pleased to introduce its 100%-owned Sleeper-Magnificent-Knapp (SMK) Project, a large-scale, early-stage exploration property with significant discovery potential for gold, silver, and associated critical metals in central British Columbia. The project, located roughly 25 kilometers southwest of Fraser Lake, BC covers 3,6234 hectares of prospective ground and forms part of the Company's objective for the discovery of Tier One mineral deposits. The property is situated within the same mineral belt as other key projects in Kootenay's portfolio of high quality early-stage exploration properties.
Strategically positioned with road access, nearby power infrastructure, and proximity to resource-friendly communities, the SMK Property represents a compelling epithermal and porphyry exploration opportunity in one of Canada's most prospective yet underexplored mineral regions.
Kootenay continues to expand and define vein outcrops in two main mineralized trends at surface at SMK and is pursuing a dual target model. The vein systems, in conjunction with alteration zones mapped at surface are interpreted as upper-level extents of an intermediate-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver system with porphyry copper-gold potential at depth (click here to see an aerial map).
The project boasts high grade surface results today including assays ranging from below detection up to 25.99 g/t gold (Sample MK10-389, BC Assessment Report #32330) and 455 g/t silver (Sample SK21-134, BC Assessment Report #40117). Sampling to date defines two strong multi-kilometer trends for follow up.
Two major vein trends are identified by previous work, including:
-
Magnificent Vein Trend, 5 km x 2.2 km polymetallic corridor with extensive quartz veining, alteration, and trench/drill-ready targets.
-
Sleeper Vein Trend, a northeast-trending structure with strong gold-silver-lead anomalies, coincident with geophysical trends.
The project is road accessible and only 25 kilometers from the Company's exploration office at Fraser Lake.
"We're excited to formally introduce the SMK Project," said Dale Brittliffe, P.Geo, VP Exploration. "With significant surface results, large-scale untested structures, and proximity to infrastructure, SMK is preparing permit applications for trenching and first-pass drilling to unlock its discovery potential."
