Kootenay Extends Silver Mineralization at La Negra Discovery

Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSXV:KTN) announced results from seven further holes completed as part of the Phase II drill program at its Mexico-based Promontorio La Negra diatreme silver discovery.

As quoted in the press release:

The seven holes were designed to extend the known areas of mineralization along strike, down dip and to fill in large gaps. Results continue to affirm La Negra’s potential for the delineation of a high-medium grade, open-pittable silver resource and for adding substantial additional silver resources at depth.

Highlights include:

LN-32-15

• 68.39 gpt Agover 146 meters from surface including
• 139.60 gpt Ag over 56 meters with
• 217.32 gpt Ag over 28 meters and
• 462.11 gpt Ag over 9 meters

LN-33-15

• 63.12 gpt Ag over 138 meters from surface including
• 152.62 gpt Ag over 27 meters with
• 453.00 gpt Ag over 5 meters

LN-34-15

• 149.27 gpt Ag over 11 meters including
• 205.50 gpt Ag over 7 meters

LN-38-15

• 113.15 gpt Ag over 67 meters including
• 306.73 gpt Ag over 15 meters with
• 850.60 gpt Ag over 5 meters and
• 1772.50 gpt Ag over 2 meters

James McDonald, president and CEO of Kootenay, commented:

We are very pleased with results from the current seven holes of our Phase II program. Drilling continues to return consistent intervals of high-grade silver, further underscoring La Negra’s potential as a growing silver resource that clearly displays attributes with potential to evolve into a substantial low-cost, open-pit operation. Equally exciting, holes LN-34, 37 and 38-15 successfully confirm the excellent depth potential of the La Negra diatreme breccia, hitting mineralized breccia 250 to 300 meters vertically from surface, which is a full 100 to 150 meters deeper than previous drill holes.
