words such as "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "estimates", "believes", "intends", "potential", "may"

or variations thereof or the negative of any of these terms.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the

actual results of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking

statements and, even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no

assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, Kootenay. Factors that

could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among

other things: the ability of the Company to obtain sufficient financing to fund its business activities

and plans, operating and technical difficulties in connection with mineral exploration and

development and mine development activities for Company's projects generally, actual results of

exploration activities (including the estimation or realization of mineral reserves and mineral

resources), the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital

expenditures, the costs and timing of the development of new deposits, the availability of a

sufficient supply of water and other materials, requirements for additional capital, future prices of

gold and silver, changes in general economic conditions, changes in the financial markets and in

the demand and market price for commodities, possible variations in ore grade or recovery rates,

possible failures of plants, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated, accidents, labour

disputes and other risks of the mining industry, delays in obtaining governmental and regulatory

approvals (including of the TSX Venture Exchange), permits or financing or in the completion of

development or construction activities, changes in laws, regulations and policies affecting mining

operations, hedging practices, currency fluctuations, title disputes or claims limitations on

may be required by applicable securities laws, Kootenay disclaims any intent or obligation to

update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or

results or otherwise. Although Kootenay believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-

looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future

performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to their

inherent uncertainty. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be

accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such

statements.

Cautionary Note to US Investors:

This news release may contain information about adjacent

properties on which we have no right to explore or mine. We advise U.S. investors that the SEC's

mining guidelines strictly prohibit information of this type in documents filed with the SEC. U.S.

investors are cautioned that mineral deposits on adjacent properties are not indicative of mineral

deposits on our properties. This news release may contain forward-looking statements including

but not limited to comments regarding the timing and content of upcoming work programs,

geological interpretations, receipt of property titles, potential mineral recovery processes, etc.

Forward-looking statements address future events and conditions and therefore involve inherent

risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated in such

statements.
