Kootenay reports Positive Results and High Recovery Rates from Preliminary Metallurgical Work Conducted on La Negra

States Kootenay President and CEO James McDonald, “We are very pleased to be able to report such excellent results from our initial metallurgical test work on La Negra. These preliminary results indicate that high silver recoveries should be achievable by simple, cost effective milling and extraction methods and they clearly reinforce La Negra’s potential to evolve into a low-cost, open pittable silver resource. This potential is further underscored by drill results to date on La Negra that have consistently returned multiple wide intersections of mineralization, starting at surface and remaining open along strike and to depth, at the kind of silver grades that are currently being mined by open pit methods in Mexico.”
