Kootenay Hits 18 Meters of 254 gpt Silver Eqv Within 89 Meters of 84 gpt Silver Eqv (*Includes 120 gpt Silver and 3.1% Pb+Zn and 41 gpt Silver and 1.01%Pb+Zn)

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.

States 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.”

Kootenay Silver firmly focused on Promontorio project, updated resource expected

Vancouver-based junior explorer Kootenay Silver (CVE:KTN) is firmly pinning its hopes on the Promontorio silver project in Mexico.

Kootenay Silver’s flagship property is the former-producing Promontorio silver mine in Sonora State, Mexico. The company is also actively developing other mineral projects in Mexico and British Columbia, Canada.

But the company's focus on Promontorio was a driver in the recent change of its name from Kootenay Gold.

Speaking to Proactive Investors, Kootenay Silver’s chairman, Ken Berry, said: "Our focus is on the Promontorio property and building that silver resource. We feel that we're at a real stage in development where that resource is a significant asset.

"Our core asset has grown to such a stature it warranted a name change."

Kootenay Hits 873 gpt Silver Eqv Over 18 Meters in NE Zone (471 gpt Ag, 9.42% Pb+Zn) and 150 gpt Silver Eqv Over 17 Meters in SW Zone (118 gpt Ag, 0.76% Pb+Zn) as Promontorio Drilling Continues to Produce High-Grade Silver Results Within 1km Mineralized System

Kootenay Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KTN.V) is pleased to announce assay results from an additional 6 drill holes from its 25,000 meter, ongoing, multi-phase, step out drill and resource definition program on its Promontorio Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico.

The Company reports the multi-rig diamond drilling program continues to yield high-grade results, while demonstrating continuity of silver mineralization in the top priority Southwest and Northeast zones across the property’s central 1km mineralized corridor.

The strike continuity of silver mineralization in the Southwest Zone connecting to the NI 43-101 Pit Resource currently measures 140 meters to 300 meters. In the Northeast Zone, which sits 700 meters outside of the current NI 43-101 Pit Resource, mineralization along strike now extends approximately 210 meters.

States Kootenay CEO James McDonald “We continue to encounter multiple high-grade silver intercepts in the Northeast Zone and the Southwest Zone which once again underscores the strength and large upside potential of Promontorio’s diatreme breccia hosted mineral system. We could not be more enthused and optimistic with results from the current multi-phase program. Approximately 4000 meters of drilling remain to be completed in the 25,000 meter drill program, following which time geologic modeling and a NI 43-101 resource update will be completed.”

Kootenay Gold Hits 706 gpt Silver Equivalent Over 16 Meters (370 Ag and 7.79 % Pb-Zn) as Promontorio Drilling Continues to Encounter High Grade Intercepts of Silver in Top Priority Southwest and Northeast Zones

Kootenay Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KTN.V) is pleased to announce assay results from an additional 20 drill holes from its 25,000 meter, ongoing, multi-phase, step out drill and resource definition program on its Promontorio Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico.

The Company reports the multi-rig diamond drilling program continues to yield exceptional results extending from the Pit Discovery Zone across the central 1km mineralized corridor.

The strike continuity of silver mineralization in the Southwest Zone connecting to the NI 43-101 Pit Resource has now been extended from 140 meters to 300 meters. In the Northeast Zone, which sits 700 meters outside of the current NI 43-101 Pit Resource, mineralization along strike is now 210 meters.

Kootenay Gold: PROMONTORIO - Intercepts 47 Meters of 214.2 gpt Silver Eqv (84.47 gpt Ag, 3.04% Pb+Zn) and 54 meters of 197 gpt Silver Eqv (91.98 gpt Ag, 2.47% Pb+Zn) in NE Zone, 700 Meters from Current 43-101 Resource

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."
