PROPERTY, SONORA, MEXICO
Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSXV: KT N) (the “Company” or “Kootenay”) is pleased to report that
Aztec Minerals Corp. (“Aztec Minerals”) today anno unced the results of the final 6 core drill holes
from its 17-hole phase I drill program totaling 2,67 4 meters conducted on Kootenay’s Cervantes gold
project, located in Sonora State, Mexico.
The final six holes successfully intersected long intervals of porphyry-type gold (copper, silver)
mineralization and extended the strike length to mo re than 800 meters at the California and the Jasper
prospect areas. Recent drill highlights include 0. 48 grams per tonne (“gpt”) gold, 0.07% copper and
2.0 gpt silver over 85.2 meters (approximate true widt h) in hole CER15, with a higher-grade intercept
of 0.66 gpt gold over 30.2 meters. Click the following links to view a drill plan and long section.

The Cervantes Property is held under an earn-in option agreement whereby Aztec Minerals can
acquire up to 100% interest in the property in two stages. If Aztec earns 100% interest, Kootenay will

*hole 18CER012 was abandoned at 52.85m due to drilling problems.
Notes: Drill holes were oriented to cross the most promin ent mineralized structures seen in outcrops so core
lengths reflect the approximate interpreted true width of the California zone mineralization.
Sampling and QA/QC
All core samples were split in half, placed into plast ic bags, labeled with sample number, secured with
zip ties, and placed in rice sacks by Aztec Minerals. Samples were typically collected in 2.0-meter
intervals with occasional exceptions up to 6.0-meter intervals due to lower core recovery. Blanks,
duplicates, and certified standards were inserted into the sample stream and subsequently reviewed
without any outliers or abnormal results. The core samples were delivered to Bureau Veritas
Laboratories in Hermosillo and analyzed for gold using a 30-gram sample by fire assay fusion with
AAS finish. Core sample pulps were shipped to Vancouver and analyzed with a 0.25-gram sample
using 4-acid ICP-MS providing analysis on 36 elements.
