00:00Hello and welcome to The Watchlist. Kootenai Silver has an update on its Columba Silver
00:10project in Mexico. Here with the details is President and CEO Jim McDonald. Jim,
00:16thanks so much for being here. Yeah, great to be here. Now, the company achieved a milestone today
00:22with the release of the maiden mineral resource estimate on the Columba Silver project. Can you
00:27give us some of the highlights? Yeah, great. Great first resource on this project. We've been
00:32working on it for a while. Comes in at 54 million ounces, 284 grams per ton. Used a really good,
00:42reasonable cutoff grade for underground mining, 150 grams. Also, a high-grade core in there. When
00:50you look at a higher-grade cutoff, nearly 35 million ounces of almost 400 grams per ton inside
00:57of that resource. Just a fabulous start to this resource. And where does Kootenai go from here?
01:03What are the next steps? Yeah, very straightforward because all of the mineral zones are open on strike,
01:10down dip, or both. So lots of low-hanging fruit, very obvious where to drill to expand. So
01:17next step is more drilling to expand on the size of the resource and come up with an updated larger
01:23resource. And is there anything else you'd like investors to know? That's what they need to know.
01:30We're going to grow this resource and then move it on to a PEA at the appropriate time. All right.
01:36Well, thank you so much, Jim. That is President and CEO of Kootenai Silver, Jim McDonald.
