Kootenay Silver CEO Jim McDonald On Building A High-Grade Silver Developer

Описание: On January 8, 2026 Kootenay Silver (TSX-V:KTN, OTC:KOOYF) announced additional assay results from nine drill holes completed as part of its staged 50,000-meter drill program at the Columba High Grade Silver Project in Chihuahua, Mexico.
