Kootenay Resources Reports Continued Review of Two Times Fred Drill Results

VANCOUVER, BC, April 14, 2025 /CNW/ - Kootenay Resources Inc. (TSXV: KTRI) (the "Company" or "KTRI") continues the compilation and review of $4.0 million dollars of work conducted on Two Times Fred, Nechako Plateau Region, British Columbia, while under option as disclosed in the news release of March 27, 2025.

Two Times Fred is a discovery and recognition of an epithermal vein system made over several years. The continuing overview of exploration conducted on the system reveals:

• Two primary vein trends with one striking north-northeast and the other northeast. All are steep dipping
• The two sets make up a classic structural pattern often seen in vein systems possibly indicative of strike slip movement.
• Numerous veins occur with 5 principle veins to date
  • Borrow Pit
  • Saki
  • Hidden Hand
  • Gold Hill
  • Shinju
• The Shinju and Gold Hill are northeast trending veins
• Saki, Hidden Hand and Borrow Pit are north-northeast trending veins.

The northeast trending veins:

Gold Hill Vein

• Strike length of outcrop about 250 meters, in drill intercepts up to 800 meters with probable 1,100-meter strike indicated by magnetics
• Steep to vertical dip.
• Only 7 drill holes
• Open in all directions
• 5 of 6 holes hit gold mineralization over 0.1 gpt gold.
• Wide spaced holes over 800 meters length
• Two fences 150 meters apart and then single holes 350 meters and 700 meters further northeast respectively.
• One lone hole 2XF-21-0036 intercepted Vein at 300m vertical depth from surface.
• Most holes less than 150 to 200 meters vertical depth.

Shinju Vein

• Probable strike of 1,500 meters
• 10 holes
• Lightly drilled
• 8 holes on two fences only 900m apart; one single hole in between those fences and another single hole 300m northeast along strike
• All holes hit vein with anomalous gold
• Veins open in all directions
• Deepest intersection to date is 265m from surface (2XF21-0031)

The north-northeast trending veins:

Borrow Pit Vein

• Strike length in outcrop up to 650 meters with a further potential strike of 1,300+ meters indicated by magnetic trend and intercept in hole 2XF 21-0021
• Only three holes drilled along 1,300 meters
• Two are anomalous in gold and one missed the vein.

Saki Vein

• Strike length in outcrop about 300 meters, in drilling 1,300 meters and as indicated by magnetics 2,000 meters
• Wide step outs of 400 and 500 meters
• Possible hole 2XF-21-0026 hit Saki Vein extending drilled length to 2,150 meters. More drilling required to confirm correlation.
• 8 to 10 holes drilled depending if 2XF-21-0026 and 21-0030 are Saki vein
• All holes anomalous and open along strike and to depth

Hidden Vein

• Potential 1000 meter strike based on outcrop, two possible drill intercepts and magnetic signature.
• Possible hits in two drill holes 2XF-21-0017 and 2XF-15-07.
• A blind vein uncovered in an access trail.

Other veins or vein trends include Western and outcrops near 800 meters east of Gold Hill Vein. It is probable further exploration work will reveal more veins.

KTRI will continue to update on the data review as it prepares plans for the project.
