Kootenay Gold Inc (TSX-V: KTN") said results at the Promontorio silver project in Mexico continue to be very encouraging and indicate the newly discovered Dorotea structure is mineralized along at least 1,000 meters of its length.

A 2,000 meter trenching program is currently underway to expose the structure in numerous places along its strike extension with the aim of determining continuity and width of mineralization between outcrops.

Drill results in the Dorotea structure further underscore its potential. Drilling encountered 34.5 meters grading 1.73 grams per tonne gold, 74.83 grams per tonne silver and 2.4% lead and zinc in hole KP 56 and 6.0 meters grading 5.92 grams per tonne gold, 167.20 grams per tonne silver and 1.625 lead and zinc in KP 55.

Several other mineralized zones identified in the Promontorio discovery area will also be trenched.
