Kootenay Drills 237 gpt Silver eqv over 51m, Including 526.2 gpt Silver eqv over 18 m; Step Out Holes Return Multiple High Grade Silver Intercepts Across a 1 Kilometer Corridor




Kootenay Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KTN.V) is pleased to announce assay results from an additional 10 drill holes as part of a 10,000 meter, ongoing, multi-phase drilling program on its Promontorio Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico.




Drill holes encountered consistent, widespread silver mineralization and multiple high-grade silver intercepts in Promontorio's newly extended Northeast and Southwest Zones, which sit outside of the current 43-101 Pit Resource. (To view map please click here)

States Kootenay CEO James McDonald "We are very pleased and enthused with current results from the 10,000 meter drilling program and believe our objective of building Promontorio into a significant mining entity is coming into focus".

"We are consistently hitting high and medium grade silver mineralization to the North East of our Pit Resource expanding the North East Zone to over 300 meters, which is double the strike length of our current 43-101 silver resource. Moreover, widely spaced step out holes have encountered multiple, high grade silver intercepts confirming the exciting upside potential of the entire 1.0 kilometer long mineralized corridor at Promontorio".
