Vancouver,
British Columbia: Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KTN.V) is pleased to
announce results from an additional 10 holes from its current 25,000 meter
drill program on its Promontorio Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. The Company
reports the two-phase 35,000 meter in-fill drill and resource definition
program, comprised of 25,000 meters of core drilling and 10,000 meters of RC
drilling is now complete. Work on an independent NI 43-101 resource update to
incorporate results from drilling is underway.

Kootenay CEO James McDonald
“The high-grade results achieved from step-out drilling in the Northeast Zone
is further testimony to the success of our multi-phase drill program. Since
confirming our initial NI 43-101 silver resource in 2010, we established one
continuous zone of silver mineralization from the Pit (Discovery) Zone through
the Southwest Zone. This zone remains open to the east, west and to depth. We
continue to encounter high-grade silver intercepts over widespread areas of
silver mineralization in the Northeast Zone, some 700 meters outside of the
current NI 43-101 resource. We expect these developments will play a critical
factor in sharply boosting the size of our existing silver resource as we
prepare for our updated independent NI 43-101 resource study.”
