Kootenay Silver Reports Phase I Drill Results from La Negra

Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSXV:KTN) released the results from the first five HQ diameter drill holes from Phase I drilling at its La Negra diatreme breccia prospect. La Negra is located about 6.5 kilometers north of the company’s Mexico-based Promontorio silver resource.

As quoted in the press release:

Preliminary visual inspection of drill core by Kootenay’s technical team shows all 5 holes have encountered wide intervals of altered breccia, which is the same host rock as is seen across the mineralized surface.

James McDonald, president and CEO of Kootenay, commented:

We are very pleased to complete the first tranche of drill holes on La Negra and look forward to receiving initial assay results. Based on our inspection of the initial core, we remain highly optimistic results from current drilling will parlay the success of our recent trenching and surface sampling program that returned widespread silver mineralization over a 100 to 200 meters by 500 meter area. Clearly, La Negra is an emerging target that exhibits several key characteristics with the potential to evolve into a significant near surface silver discovery. It also serves as a strong compliment to the underlying value of Kootenay’s flagship Promontorio resource located 6.5 kms to the north, and underscores the regional-scale potential of the other emerging targets contained within Promontorio’s Mineral Belt.
