QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Kootenay Zinc Corp. (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) Announces Commencement of Drilling at Sully Property

Mineral exploration and development company Kootenay Zinc Corp. (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) today announced that its drilling contractor, FB Drilling Ltd., has mobilized to the E3 Target on its Sully Project and has commenced drilling. Ongoing exploration activities are focused on the discovery of sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits, which serve as the most important source of a number of ores, including zinc, lead and barite. As previously reported, the E3 target at the 1,375-hectacre Sully Project located in British Columbia, Canada, features a promising gravity anomaly. This anomaly will be tested for the first time as part of these drilling…

Kootenay Zinc Corp. (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) Exploration Expands as China Winds Down Refined Metals Production

Experts say China could soon look to import refined metal as its available zinc concentrate continues to fall, per a May 2013 Economic Times report (http://dtn.fm/AZ9iv). The falling demand there for steel galvanization is partly to blame; a national crackdown on industrial pollution is helping to drive this decline as well. A decline in refined zinc output from 43,400 tonnes in March 2017 to 41,300 tonnes in April 2017 has been noted by the National Bureau of Statistics, and refined metal production has been affected by major mine closures in Australia and Ireland. In contrast to Chinese production cuts, Kootenay…

Kootenay Zinc Corp. (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) Steps Up Exploration to Help Solve Global Zinc Shortage

With demand constantly on the rise and the recent closing of several mining operations in China, the global shortage of zinc has grown exponentially. The zinc shortage is expected to widen to 360,000 tons this year (http://dtn.fm/qab6X), according to market analysts, but the figure might grow further in wake of China’s decision to completely halt production as part of a nationwide environmental crackdown on the local steel industry. Major zinc exploration projects such as Canadian mining company Kootenay Zinc Corp.’s (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) Sully property could have a major impact on the global output of zinc and significantly narrow…

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Kootenay Zinc Corp. (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) Steps Up Exploration Efforts in Wake of Chinese Production Cuts

As China recently increased its import of zinc in the wake of production halts – part of an environmental crackdown on China’s steel industry – global zinc prices subsequently soared. With worldwide zinc inventories already under pressure due to increasing demand, China’s efforts to curb zinc and nickel production will likely continue significantly impacting the global supply, and zinc exploration corporations like Kootenay Zinc Corp. (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) are hastening to step up their efforts to find deposits and help slake this global shortage. “China’s move is likely to drive zinc demand even higher. According to the International Lead…

Kootenay Zinc Corporation (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) Has Star Prospectors on the Job at the Sully Project

In the modern world, zinc plays second fiddle to iron. About half of the blue-white or blue-gray metal mined is used in coating iron to prevent the latter from rusting, a process known as galvanization. However, it is clear from archaeological discoveries that zinc had a much more important role in earlier times. For example, brass artifacts dated before 1000 BCE have been found in Palestine. Brass is a metal alloy composed of copper and zinc. Given zinc’s venerable past, the Kootenay Zinc Corporation (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) is betting the lustrous mineral will continue to have an important role…

Kootenay Zinc Corp. (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) Targeting the Next Legendary Mine

The production, longevity, and riches are legendary; 337 million ounces of silver and more than 17 million tons of lead and zinc were produced during nearly a century of operation. Today’s value of the minerals taken is nearly $50 billion dollars. Put in perspective, the nine million tons of lead produced during its lifetime by the astonishing Sullivan Mine in British Columbia was enough lead to manufacture 500 million lead-acid batteries for automobiles, and the mine also produced enough zinc, eight million tons, to supply the zinc content in 160 million cars. In addition to a treasure trove of minerals,…

Kootenay Zinc Corp. (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) to Step Up Exploration Efforts following Chinese Production Cuts

Zinc prices soared over the last few days after top consumer China increased imports of the metal in wake of the country’s halting production as part of an environmental crackdown on the local steel industry. The Asian nation’s move to curb zinc and nickel production is likely to have a significant impact on global supply, with inventories already under pressure from growing demand and currently at about 342,675 tons (roughly 20 percent lower than last year), according to Reuters (http://dtn.fm/gP0yM). Zinc exploration corporations such as Vancouver-based Kootenay Zinc Corp. (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) are already exploring ways to step up…
