The Dorotea structure projects into the Pit discovery area approximately 1,600 metres to the southeast of the drill holes. Mineralization is found in three different exposed areas along the trend of the structure grading up to 45.6 grams per tonne gold and 298 grams per tonne silver in a grab sample 800 metres to the northwest of the drill discovery and 90 metres southeast of the drill discovery values to 12.1 grams per tonne gold and 587 grams per tonne silver were encountered. Results contained herein are from select grab samples taken from outcrops while exploring for the surface extensions of the drill intercepts. Jim McDonald, CEO of Kootenay commented, "Results at Promontorio continue to be very encouraging and indicate the newly discovered Dorotea Structure is mineralized along at least 1000 meters of its length. Drill results in the Dorotea structure further underscore its potential. Drilling encountered 34.5 meters grading 1.73 grams per tonne gold, 74.83 grams per tonne silver and 2.4% Pb+Zn in KP 56 and 6.0 meters grading 5.92 grams per tonne gold, 167.20 grams per tonne silver and 1.625 Pb+Zn in KP 55" (see news release dated February 5, 2009 for full results). TRENCHING UNDERWAY TO IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL DRILL TARGETS A 2000 meter trenching program is currently underway. This program is intended to expose the Dorotea structure in numerous places along its strike extension with the objective of determining continuity and width of mineralization between outcrops. Several other mineralized zones identified in the Promontorio discovery area will also be trenched (See news release dated July 17, 2008 describing zones A to N). Results of this program will be incorporated into the drill, geochemical and geophysical data and used to set specific drill targets for the next drill program.

Mr. McDonald is a director of the Company. QA/QC All samples were placed and sealed with tape into a plastic rock sample bag. Each sample was labeled and catalogued and delivered to ALS Chemex's preparation laboratory in Hermosillo, Sonora Mexico where pulps are made of each sample which were then sent to the ALS Chemex laboratory in North Vancouver, B.C. Canada. Each sample was analyzed with a multi acid digestion ICP AES (Plasma Emission Spectroscopy). Samples with precious metals exceeding the upper detection limit of the ICP AES are analyzed again using fire assay methods with either atomic absorption, emission spectroscopy or gravimetric finishes for gold and silver. Base metals exceeding upper limits are reanalyzed using a four acid ore grade analysis. All samples referred to herein are grab samples. ALS Chemex is an internationally recognized independent laboratory operating to ISO 17025 quality assurance
