Management believes that La Negra is a diatreme breccia which implies good depth potential as diatreme breccias can extend to depths of 100's of meters. The depth potential in the La Negra Breccia is underscored by hole LN 21-14 as it bottoms in high silver grades at a vertical depth of around 150 meters showing the potential for resources to depth. The depth of the high silver grade shows the grades are primary so not a result of supergene enrichment.

Due to faulting and possibly the nature of the breccia contact itself the width of the breccia body is not well defined at this time. Thus far the apparent widths of the breccia interpreted from drilling are varying from about 60 to over 100 meters within a broader 200 by 500 meter area of breccia outcrop exposures.

The La Negra Breccia is cut by two northwest trending faults across which the dip of the breccia changes from near vertical to moderate southerly dips. This is evidenced by holes LN 11, 12, 14, 18, 19 and 20, which were drilled through the breccia into the footwall or directly within the footwall thus missing the bulk of the breccia body.  Hole LN 25-14 drilled to the north confirms a southerly dip encountering 60 meters of breccia from surface followed by about 50 meters of stockwork and argillic alteration.

Current Phase I Drill Program

Drilling in the Phase I program was conducted in widely spaced fences along 400 of 500 meters of La Negra's length to provide information on the sub-surface grade, continuity and geometry of the mineralized Breccia system. Current holes were broadly spaced as single holes or fences of holes from the same platforms in 115 to 50 meter spacing's along strike. Extensive zones of breccia and stockwork were encountered along the strike length and dips seem to vary from steep northerly dips to moderate southerly dips. The Phase I drill program totaled 25 HQ diameter core holes with 3173.5 meters of drilling.

La Negra Silver Discovery

The La Negra Breccia prospect is situated approx. 6.5 kms north of Kootenay's flagship Promontorio Silver Resource in Sonora, Mexico and is contained within a 25 x 15 km mineralized corridor, the 'Promontorio Mineral Belt.' The current Phase I drill program on La Negra follows a highly successful trenching and surface sampling program that confirmed widespread silver mineralization exists over a large 100 to 200 meters by 500 meters area on surface. (See news releases from May 28 ^th and June 5 ^th, 2014 for more details).  To View Full Results of Sampling and drill Program Visit: www.kootenaysilver.com.

QA/QC

Core is being detailed logged and sampled with half the core being bagged, tagged, catalogued, sealed and sent to an accredited assay lab for analysis.  A quality control program including blanks, standards and replicates is being used similar to that used on the Promontorio drill program.  Geotechnical data such as recovery, RQD and density are being recorded also. All drilling has been with HQ core and is being done by BD Drilling from Guadalajara, Mexico . Further Quality Assurance and Control procedures and details on assays procedures and laboratories used are disclosed on the Kootenay Silver Inc. website.

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 Kootenay.
