	September 06, 2007 PROMONTORIO - Progress Report: Kootenay Announces Drill Results Pending on Four Separate Drilling Programs in Mexico and British Columbia
	Kootenay Gold Inc. ("Kootenay") (TSX Venture: KTN") is pleased to announce drilling updates on the former producing Promontorio Silver Mine site located in the Sierra Madre Silver Gold Belt of Mexico, and three of its projects in the Rossland Republic Belt of British Columbia, known as the Jumping Josephine, the Connor Creek and the Murphy Creek properties. PROMONTORIO DRILL PROGRAM, SONORA, MEXICO The first 13 drill holes of a 3000 meter program have now been completed on the areas of mineralization where high grade silver occurs with lead-zinc sulfides in phreatic type breccias and the area where chip sampling in the Pit Breccia returned 480 grams per tonne silver, 2.51 grams per tonne gold, 11,199 ppm lead and 17,284 ppm zinc over an estimated true width of 19 meters. Drilling will now test three other breccias confirmed during chip sampling, the Adobe Breccia, Central Breccia and the Main Extension Breccia. Chip sampling in the spring discovered the Adobe Breccia, a second zone of mineralization (about 50 meters to the west of the Pit Breccia). This zone is a minimum of 20 to 22 meters in width and appears to be sub parallel to the Pit Breccia. The third area of significant mineralization called the Central Breccia was found some 200 meters to the northwest of the Pit Breccia. The Main Extension Breccia was recently found by mapping and sits 200 meters directly on strike of the Pit Breccia and measures about 100 meters long by 25 to 50 meters wide. The Pit, Adobe, Central and Main Extension Breccias are all part of large complex mineralized trend. This trend is a mineralized zone along a strike of 2000 meters and width of 500 meters striking northeast as defined by airborne geophysics and surface mapping. The Pit (Main Zone), Adobe, Central Breccias and Main Zone Extension sit within a small portion of this trend in an area of about 200 by 400 meters. The drill core will be split and sent for assays. Phase II drilling is planned to follow up phase I results and to test additional priority target areas on the 2000 meter trend. JUMPING JOSEPHINE DRILL PROGRAM, BC (Astral Mining "TSX.V: AST" Joint Venture) A 2000 meter Phase I Drill program has been completed on 3 targets including: 1) 1100m in 20 holes at the JJ Main Zone, 2) 400m in 5 holes at the historical Albion and Dubrovnik targets and 3) 500m in 2 holes at the Bonanza Pass Zone. The JJ property area contains six prominent mineralized areas with a north to north-northwest trending structural zones within a 15 by 10 kilometer area. Initial drill program focused on the JJ Main target where trenching defined a gold-bearing quartz stockwork zone up to 10m wide over a strike length of at least 270m. Assay results from trench channel sampling included: 31.19 g/t* gold over 7m, including 133.91 g/t gold over 1m, 25.24 g/t gold over 4m, and 14.1 g/t gold over 5m. The first batch of results on the JJ Main Gold Zone HQ diamond holes 07JD001 and 07JD002 included 10m averaging 9.95 g/t Au (32.8 feet at 0.29opt) from 07JD001. Metallic gold check assays subsequently upgraded the original interval from 07JD001 by 27.1% to 10m averaging 12.65g/t gold. Results from holes #3 through to #13, include 19m averaging 7.01 g/t gold (62.32 feet at 0.205 opt) from hole 07JD013, which includes 5m averaging 16.42 g/t gold (16.40 feet at 0.479 opt*). Mapping and geochemistry to date suggest that the JJ Main structure may extend for over three kilometers. Additional drill results are pending on the Bonanza Pass Albion-Dubrovnik targets in the southern part of the JJ property. Permitting for the expanded Phase II drill program is also complete; drilling will recommence pending rig availability. CONNOR CREEK DRILL PROGRAM, BC, (Amador "TSX.V: AGX" Joint Venture) Results are pending on the 2,000 meter diamond drilling now completed on 3 different areas of gold mineralization which are: 1. The EM Showing a broad zone about 1 kilometer square in area with coincident soil anomalies in copper, lead, zinc and gold. A strong EM anomaly 200 by 300 meters in size is coincident with the higher values of copper, lead, zinc and gold. Bedrock sampling in this target returned up to 2242 ppb gold. 2. The Powerline Showing discovered by Kootenay where an area of anomalous gold in rock and soils along a north south trend 1.5 kilometers long by 50 to 150 meters and open at both ends. 3. The Root Showing a semi-massive to massive sulfide vein with characteristics similar to the Rossland veins. Airborne magnetics indicate the structure may continue for about 1 kilometer in strike. In addition to the drill areas tested there are four other mineralized zones being sampled: 1. The Debbie Showing a semi-massive sulfide occurrence with coincident soil, rock and geophysical anomalies trending anomaly along a 1.0 kilometer by 300 meter area open to the northeast. The lead, silver and gold values appear as discrete bulls eyes. 2. The Ag Anomaly a northerly trending silver in soil anomaly between the Root and Debbie occurrences. This anomaly is about 100 meters wide by 450 meters long and open at both ends. It is also associated with the edge of a magnetic high anomaly which may reflect a mineralized structure. 3. The Hungry Man is an historic sulfide occurrence sitting on the flank of a discrete airborne EM anomaly measuring 100 meters by 350 meters which may reflect an area of stronger mineralization. 4. The Northeast EM target which is a discrete bulls eye EM anomaly on the northeast corner of the property about 100 meters in diameter. The main types of mineralization found at Connor Creek are; semi- massive sulfide veins with characteristics similar to the Rossland Camp that produced nearly 3.0 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.4 ounces per tonne; and disseminated sulfides hosted in zones of shearing. MURPHY CREEK DRILL PROGRAM, BC (Joint Venture) Drilling has now commenced at the Murphy Creek on a re discovery of a gold occurrence not catalogued in the Mineral Occurrence files of the B.C. government. Several old pits within a 10,000 square meter area expose sulfide mineralization in a granodiorite. The impression is mineralization and alterations are creating a pipe like body. Characteristics of the conductor are consistent with a pipe shaped body which is in agreement with observations made in the pits. The company is currently negotiating a partnership agreement for the Murphy property. Should a successful agreement be reached, the company will expand drilling to include the priority electromagnetic conductor occurring on the southwestern edge of the gold bearing sulfide mineralization. The foregoing geological disclosure has been reviewed and verified by Kootenay's CEO, James McDonald, P.Geo. (a qualified person for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects). Mr. McDonald is a director of the Company. ABOUT KOOTENAY Kootenay is an emerging exploration Company actively developing a suite of premier gold and silver projects. The Company's top priority remains the ongoing aggressive development of its rich Promontorio Silver project, which encompasses the former producing Promontorio Silver Mine in Northwest Mexico.
