Commodity University

Kootenay Silver is positioning itself at a pivotal moment in the silver market, with multiple high-grade assets advancing simultaneously and a clear path toward development. In this conversation, Jay sits down with CEO Jim McDonald to break down the company’s flagship Columba discovery, the near-term catalyst at La Negra, and how a rising silver price is reshaping project economics across the portfolio. With nearly 200 million ounces of silver across four assets and a strong treasury, the discussion explores valuation gaps, upcoming milestones, and what it takes to transition from explorer to developer in a strengthening commodity cycle.
