Kootenay Silver's strategy has been to build a company incorporating both the property ownership dilution business model and share dilution model. They have several projects joint ventured with other junior explorers who pay costs for exploration and issue KTN shares in their company while Kootenay has retained 100% ownership of their flag ship Mexican property - the advanced stage Promontorio silver project.

 

The 25,000-meter drill program now in progress on Kootenay's Promontorio Silver Project represents the single largest and most expansive drilling campaigns conducted on Promontorio to date. The objective of the program is to substantially build on and expand the existing NI 43-101 silver resource identified on the project by AGP Mining Consultants in 2010. Two diamond drill rigs are currently operating on Promontorio and are focused on the numerous medium to high-grade silver intercepts identified across the project's 1 kilometer strike length.

 

Currently the project hosts an NI 43 101 compliant resource containing 8.9 million indicated ounces of silver plus 1.17 million ounces of inferred silver, 99.3 million indicated pounds of lead plus 13.4 million inferred pounds of lead and 110.8 million indicated pounds of zinc plus 14.3 million inferred pounds of zinc.
