VANCOUVER, March 28, 2024 - Kootenay Silver Inc. ("Kootenay" or the "Company") (TSXV: KTN) is pleased to announce that it has obtained a receipt for a final short form base shelf prospectus with the securities regulators in each province and territory of Canada.
This filing allows the Company and/or selling security holders to make offerings of common shares (including by way of an "at-the-market distribution" in accordance with applicable securities laws), warrants, subscription receipts, units, debt securities or any combination thereof for up to a maximum amount of C$40 million during the 25-month period over which the base shelf prospectus is effective.
The Company has filed this base shelf prospectus in order to have greater financial flexibility going forward, but has no immediate plans to issue any securities under it at this time, and may never proceed with any such issuance.
