Kootenay Gold Inc. Vancouver, B.C. TSX.V : KTN, is an exploration and mining Company focused on the exploration and development of its top priority Promontorio Silver Project situated within the mineral rich Sierra Madre trend of Mexico.

• Create value through discovery and development
• Target large scale precious metal deposits
• Focus on Canada and Mexico
• Promontorio target: 100+ million oz silver deposit (plus gold, lead & zinc)
• Jumping Josephine target: 1 million oz gold deposit

Encouraging results from Phase I & II drilling on the Promontorio suggests the possible existence of a large Porphyry system similar to major producing deposits within the region.

During 2008, Kootenay has raised ~$24 million. The treasury remains strong throughout current market conditions, holding ~$19 million in cash, enabling management to fast track exploration at Promontorio and expand its current drill program to 45,000 meters.

The company’s portfolio includes seven properties in Canada and more than 500,000 hectares containing 30 priority targets in Mexico.

To maximize Kootenay’s exposure to new discoveries and fast-track development, the company has entered into a number of key joint ventures.

The most advanced being the Jumping Josephine, B.C., where drilling has defined a gold bearing structure 900 m long by 12m width by 225m depth which is open in all directions.

In addition to maximizing exploration expenditures, these strategic partnerships serve to minimize dilution for shareholders as the Company advances its flagship Promontorio Silver project.

Drilling on Promontorio continues to encounter widespread, high-grade mineralization to a depth of 444 metres. The additional 100+ holes will test a large 1.6 km 3D IP Anomaly identified on the project and newly discovered mineralized zones in the surrounding 90,000 hectare property.

Kootenay’s experienced exploration team has made multiple exploration discoveries during the last four years in the Rossland Republic Trend of British Columbia and the Sierra Madre Trend of Mexico.
