Kootenay drilling confirms widespread mineralization

Kootenay Gold Inc. announces the first assay results from its ongoing phase II 10,000 meter drill program on its wholly owned Promontorio project in Sonora Mexico.

Drilling has intersected wide intervals of low to high grade silver-gold polymetalic mineralization to a depth of 444 meters (remains open at depth).

Drilling will continue to test a 3D IP Geophysical Survey target which outlines a large “L” shaped area of chargeability, with one “arm” measuring 1.6 km and the other 900 meters with widths being 250 to 600 meters.

Drilling is showing this chargeability anomaly is mapping out sulfide mineralization and is proving a useful tool for drill targeting.

Jim McDonald, CEO of Kootenay, said we remain highly encouraged by the depth and consistency of widely disseminated mineralization at the Promontorio Silver Project.

In addition, the mineralized system contains high grade gold-silver and equally significant values of lead and zinc.

Based on the success of each consecutive phase of exploration to date, we intend to accelerate the current program as we systematically explore the large IP Target and surrounding regional mineralization, concluded Mr. McDonald.
