Based on the success of the 10,000 meter program Kootenay reports it has entered into a contract with BDW Drilling to immediately commence a minimum 25,000 meter multi-phase diamond drill program at Promontorio.

States James McDonald, President and CEO of Kootenay: "Hitting excellent grades of silver mineralization over a broad 234 meter intersection is further testimony to the success of our 10,000 meter drilling program on Promontorio. Paramount to its success, we confirmed that high and medium grade silver occurs along the entire 1.0 kilometer long mineralized corridor that hosts the current resource. Equally important broadly spaced holes indicate continuity of silver mineralization over 300 meters of strike in the North East Zone, which is double the strike length of our current 43-101 silver resource.”
