High Grade Intervals Include 16 Meters of 492 gpt Silver Eqv (202.7 gpt Ag, 6.8% Pb+Zn) and 11 Meters of 480.6 gpt Silver Eqv (179.4 gpt Ag, 7.0% Pb+Zn)
Kootenay Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KTN.V) is pleased to announce assay results from its ongoing 25,000 meter, multi-phase drilling program on its Promontorio Silver project in Sonora, Mexico. At present, three diamond drill rigs are operating on site.
States Kootenay President and CEO James McDonald "We are extremely pleased with current drill results. Step out drilling returned multiple intercepts of high-grade silver mineralization in the Northeast Zone, which sits 700 meters outside of and on strike to the Company's established 43-101 Pit Resource. Equally critical to the current resource expansion program, hole DH 68 drilled in the Southwest expansion zone of the Pit Resource, returned widespread zones of medium to high-grade silver, showing excellent continuity of silver mineralization with the Pit Resource on strike and to depth, extending more than 50 meters outside the Pit Resource."
