KOOTENAY ANNOUNCES NEW DRILL DISCOVERY PROXIMAL TO LA CIGARRA SILVER DEPOSIT; Multiple Intercepts of Silver Mineralization Confirmed Across 400-Meter Strike Length; Highlights Include 89.83 gpt Silver over 18.0 Meters; Including 190 gpt Silver over 3.0 Meters

Kootenay President and CEO James McDonald states, “Results from the first 11 holes of the program confirm RAM is an entirely new silver discovery and development of this mineralized structure will remain a top priority for the Company. The strength and consistency of veining within the structure bodes well for the discovery of further silver resources at depth and along both strike directions. Drilling returned good continuity of silver grades across a 400-meter strike length and widespread silver mineralization was encountered in all but two of the eleven holes, confirming the structure’s large-scale potential. Moving forward, the close proximity of the RAM structure to our established La Cigarra silver resource offers excellent potential for future shared infrastructure and economies of scale, as we continue to develop RAM and advance our main La Cigarra deposit towards the economic stage.”

Mexus Gold US releases an update on its Santa Elena mine

Mexus Gold US along with its JV partner MarMar recently decided that the best option for gold recovery at the Santa Elena mine will be a Merrill Crowe system. The decision to use this system instead of Electrowinning was made in part because a Merrill Crowe system will allow Mexus the opportunity to scale the recovery plant as production increases. Mexus now plans to ship a 400-600gpm Merrill Crowe plant from its Walnut Grove shop to the Santa Elena mine site. This plant was purchased by Mexus in 2014 and had been readied for use when needed. The recovery plant has been disassembled, loaded, and is ready to be shipped around November 27th.
