Kootenay Resources Reports Data Review of Copley Project
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2025 / Kootenay Resources Inc. (TSXV:KTRI) (the 'Company' or 'Kootenay') is pleased to announce the completion of a desktop data review on the Copley project detailing work completed during 2022-2024. The 3,728 hectare Copley property is an early-stage mineral exploration property with demonstrated gold and copper mineralization intercepted in drilling and is situated 35 kilometers south of Fraser Lake, Central British Columba, Canada. The data review recognizes positive advances, and Kootenay is eager to follow up on the new drill results and geophysical anomalies identified on the project.
Between 2022 to 2024, Centerra Gold Inc completed diamond drilling (12 holes for 4,181 meters), Induced Polarization ground geophysics (29-line kilometers), soil sampling (1,342 samples), and drone magnetics (358-line kilometers) totaling $2.96M of filed assessment work.
Kootenay's interpretation of all datasets indicates the project has very good potential for the discovery of a large-scale epithermal gold-silver deposit with associated copper-gold porphyry potential. To date 35 holes for a total 6,314 meters have been drilled across the property, most drilling work being focused on the East Dome (2022-23) and Smoking Pipe (2010-11) targets.

OWNERSHIP & NEXT STEPS
Copley is a drill-permitted, road-accessible gold-silver project located within the porphyry-epithermal endowed Nechako Plateau region of central British Columbia. Hosted in felsic volcanic vent complexes within a 10 km x10 km interpreted ancient caldera, the project represents a large-tonnage, intermediate-sulfidation epithermal system with potential for high-grade structurally focused mineralization and associated porphyry roots.
Copley presents a compelling acquisition or partnership opportunity.
