Kootenay Gold Changes Name to Kootenay Silver

Kootenay Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KTN.V) is pleased to announce name change to Kootenay Silver Inc. as Company reports 25,000 meter in-fill drill and resource definition program nears completion on Promontorio Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico.

States Kootenay CEO James McDonald "The name change to Kootenay Silver better reflects our core focus on developing our flagship Promontorio Silver project. It also coincides with all the high-grade results we have achieved from drilling on Promontorio over the past year. Within this 1st quarter we will have completed over 35,000 meters of drilling since our initial resource calculation. We look forward to incorporating these numerous high-grade results into an updated NI 43-101 resource calculation at the conclusion of the current program."
