Kootenay Gold Inc. reported today that grab samples at its Promontorio property in northwest Mexico have identified 7 new mineral zones. Assays from the grab samples returned values as high as 799 g/t silver and 12.05 g/t gold. One sample, not included in the calculations assayed 181 g/t gold.

Kootenay CEO James McDonald is quoted as saying:

Given the positive results on over 15,000 meters of drilling at Promontorio in 2007/08, these new discoveries are extremely encouraging. Promontorio is a large 90,000 hectare property and many areas are yet to be prospected leaving a high probability that additional areas of mineralization will be found.
