Kootenay Silver Inc. announced additional high-grade silver results from the Company's 5,000 meter core drill program currently underway at its Columba silver project (the "Property") located in Chihuahua State, Mexico. Augmenting the high-grade, in some areas, are thick zones of mineralization coming into the high-grade such as hole CDH-21-96 where over 30 meters of continuous mineralization averaged 86 gpt silver. A number of other areas within the F Vein show similar thick intervals coming into the high-grade such as holes CDH-20-41 (39.9 meters of 159 gpt silver), CDH-20-47 (15.65 meters of 166 gpt silver), CDH-20-51 (36 meters of 72 gpt silver), CDH-20-52 (42.43 meters of 61 gpt silver), CDH-20-53 (34 meters of 116 gpt silver) and CDH-21-89 (70.5 meters of 112 gpt silver). These thick zones of silver mineralization preceding the high grade have the potential to add significantly to the amount of silver within the F Vein. Drill Highlights - Holes CDH-21-091 to 096: CDH-21-091: 271 gpt silver over 0.85 meters within 189 gpt silver over 1.55 meters in the F Vein. CDH-21-092 - 368 gpt silver over 0.94 meters within 217 gpt silver over 2.44 meters in the Hanging-wall structure, 439 gpt silver over 1.14 meters within 321 gpt silver over 2.94 meters in the F Vein, 255 gpt silver over 2.9 meters within 130 gpt silver over 8.0 meters in the Footwall, and Hit 3 different Vein sets in the Hanging-Wall Vein, F Vein and a Footwall Vein. CDH-21-094 - 985 gpt silver over 1.5 meters and 809 gpt silver over 2.63 meters within 354 gpt silver over 9 meters in the F Vein; and CDH-21-94 tested an area about 200 meters from the old shaft in a large undrilled segment. CDH-21-096 - 425 gpt silver over 2.37 meters within 230 gpt silver over 9 meters and 86 gpt silver over 30 meters in the F Vein System, Hole CDH-21-096 is about 50 meters along strike and 30 meters deeper than CDH-21-94 and also tested a large area with no drilling, and CDH-21-95 hit a fault and thus missed the F Vein. Detailed Drill Results – Holes CDH-21-091 to CDH-21-096: Drilling continues at Columba within the JZ Vein area, located 700 meters east of the F Vein. Previous drilling in this region confirmed the discovery of a broad zone of high grade hydrothermal breccias that encompasses a low to medium grade quartz stockwork system at the J-Z Zone. Results in the JZ Area are highlighted by hole CDH-20-030 (415 gpt silver over 11.15 meters including 721 gpt silver over 4.07 meters) and hole CDH-20-060 (132 gpt silver over 64 meters including 361 gpt silver over 11 meters including 608 gpt silver over 5 meters, and 1,160 gpt silver over 1 meter all within 229 gpt silver over 22 meters).
