KOOTENAY ANNOUNCES RESULTS FROM FIRST 11 HOLES OF DRILL PROGRAM ON LA NEGRA BEING CONDUCTED AND OPERATED BY PAN AMERICAN SILVER CORP. Highlights Include 363 gpt Silver over 44.5 Meters including 720 gpt Silver over 19 Meters
Kootenay President and CEO James McDonald states: We are very pleased with Pan Americans work and the results to date from the first 11 holes of the program. The confirmation of multiple high-grade intercepts of silver mineralization at depth is a significant development and further indicates potential for the silver resources to be amenable to both open pit and underground exploitation. We are also very pleased that based on the encouraging results achieved to date, Pan American is extending the program by a full 2,000 meters until the end of the year.
