Minesite.com's highlights of The Vancouver Resource Investment Conference 2012

"Meanwhile, Kootenay Gold’s booth on the main floor was buzzing all day, as punters sought more information on recent drill results which showed numbers as high as 706 grams per tonne silver equivalent over 16 metres. The current drilling campaign at the Promontorio silver resource in Mexico consists of 25,000 metres of ongoing multi-phase, step out drilling and resource definition drilling. So far the program has been successful in extending the pit resource at Promontorio by 140 metres to 300 metres. In the Northeast Zone, which sits 700 metres from the Pit Resource, high grade intercepts have also been found and mineralization along strike is now 210 meters. "

Rick Mills talks about Kootenay Gold with The Gold Report

"RM: Okay, the next one is Kootenay Gold Inc. (KTN:TSX.V), which has the 100%-owned Promontorio silver project in Sonora, Mexico. Like Cangold, Kootenay already has a significant resource. AGP Mining Consultants' resource estimate puts Indicated mineral resource at 5.2 million tons, with 8.9 Moz silver, 99 million pounds (Mlb) lead and 111 Mlb zinc. It grades 52 grams of silver, 0.86% lead and 0.96% zinc.

Since that estimate, Kootenay has drilled 53,000m into Promontorio at an average depth of 300m; the results from two-thirds of that drilling will go into a new resource estimate, which is due out in another month or two. Going back through the results on the website, you see some pretty decent assays, and I expect a very definite resource increase – a doubling or even tripling in the new estimate. Then Kootenay will launch another big and aggressive drill program. It wouldn't surprise me to see 50 Moz silver and quite likely the equivalent to that in lead and zinc after that drilling.

With all of that, plus a very good share structure with heavy management participation, a very healthy treasury, and more news coming, I refuse to believe that Kootenay won't be revalued much, much higher over the coming year.
