Judging by the share price, investors reckon that Kootenay Gold has a bright future ahead. Since last October the shares have risen steadily from just below C50 cents. But in the last week they have suddenly taken off, and risen in an almost straight line from C90 cents to C1.27. A quick look at recent news items shows that Dick Whittington, a mining graduate from the Royal School of Mines, joined the company as a director towards the end of March. That appointment underlines that Kootenay is now starting to build its team for the development of the Promontorio silver project in Mexico. Dick took Farallon Mining right through from discovery to production in four years as chief executive, and only left the company when it was taken over by Nyrstar. So he comes to Kootenay still in his prime.
