Kootenay Resources Provides Update on Two

Times Fred Gold-Silver Property, located in

the Nechako Plateau Region within the

Northern Interior of British Columbia

VANCOUVER, BC

/CNW/ -

Kootenay Resources Inc.

(TSXV:

KTRI)

(the "Company" or "KTRI")

is reviewing over

$4.3 million dollars

of work conducted on Two

Times Fred (the "Property") while it was under option to Centerra Gold (KB) Inc. from 2020 to 2023.

Although the option agreement was terminated in late 2023, KTRI's current compilation of all data to

date suggests that significant potential has been uncovered. As a result, the Company is planning

additional work for the Property.

The work currently under review by KTRI, outlined below, has led to the discovery of a new vein

district in the Nechako Plateau with the following highlights:

Low sulfidation vein system

3.0 kilometers by 1.0 + kilometers in extent

Open along strike and depth

All veins encountered are anomalous in gold over the 3 by 1 kilometer area

Multiple veins with four drilled at wide spacing

Blind veins discovered in drilling

90% of holes intercepted anomalous gold and to a lesser extent silver in veins.

Highs to 12.8 gpt gold and 170 gpt silver

Individual veins traced for 1.3 kilometers and open along strike

All veins drill tested open at depth and along strike

Drill density is very low leaving lots of potential

More blind veins likely

Work to date on the Property includes:

9,956 meters of core drilling in 41 holes

965 meters of reverse circulation drilling in 6 holes

64.5 line kilometers of Induced Polarization

71.3 line kilometers of Controlled Source Audio Magneto Tellurics (CSAMT)

96.5 line kilometers of VLF-EM

2,317 line kilometers of magnetics and Mobile MT

Lidar survey

18 trenches with 244 channel samples

KTRI's CEO

James McDonald

stated "

We are extremely pleased with the progress made by our

previous partners at Two Times Fred and thank them for their professional work. Incredibly all

veins contain anomalous gold and remain open along strike and to depth. Despite the fact over 40

holes have been drilled, the drill density remains very low as there are so many veins over an

extensive area. All the veins drilled require follow up drilling. And at the same time the potential for

the discovery of new veins is very high. We look forward to sharing updates on the exploration

work conducted by Centerra Gold once our ongoing review is complete.

"

The company is in the process of a data review and compilation of extensive work done by KTRI

and former option partner Centerra Gold (KB) Inc.who expended over

$4.3 million

Canadian from

2020 to 2023.

About the Two Times Fred Property

The property hosts a newly discovered and recognized vein district with excellent potential for gold-

silver deposits. Gold and silver mineralization occur in quartz veins in Eocene aged volcanic rocks of

the Endako Group of basalts. Petrographic and mapping work indicates surface exposure is at the

top of the epithermal system as evidenced by outcropping scinter and other indicative textures. This

leaves the entire vein system intact for exploration.

Background

Kootenay Resources Inc's stated mission is the discovery a Tier One deposit and as such KTRI

focuses on those areas with demonstrated geologic potential for such deposits. The company is

exploring its flagship Moyie Anticline property in southern

British Columbia

and on its generative

program including several promising gold-silver-copper properties in the Nechako plateau of central

British Columbia. Kootenay Resources Inc. welcomes partners for exploration projects and currently

has one mineral property under option to Centerra Gold (KB) Inc. and three projects under option to

fellow junior exploration company Rokmaster Resources Corp.
