KOOTENAY SILVER EXPANDS LAND POSITION AT COLUMBA HIGH-GRADE SILVER PROJECT, MEXICO

October 14, 2021

Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSXV: KTN; OTC: KOOYF) (the “Company” or “Kootenay”) is pleased to announce it has significantly increased its land holdings contiguous to the original Columba High-Grade silver Project, located in Chihuahua State, Mexico. The Company’s new area of interest will now expand from just under 1,000 hectares to more than 10,000 hectares with the application of a new concession surrounding the Columba project.

James McDonald, President & CEO, commented “We are very pleased to substantially increase our land position surrounding the original Columba project, which continues to yield high-grade silver intercepts from several areas on the property. As a result, the Company believes the newly expanded Columba land package represents an excellent district-scale exploration opportunity that will provide potential for high-grade silver discoveries.”

Application for the new 10,825 hectare concession is in response to the excellent results from the Company’s 2021 exploration program indicating that the mineral system and extent of silver rich veins is much more extensive than what is seen at surface. Results from drilling and mapping completed by the Company have significantly extended several potential mineralized structures laterally along strike within several prospective areas at Columba.

Recently released drill holes such as CDH-21-103 from the JZ Trap zone have increased management’s belief in the potential for a large resource of high-grade silver and the desire for more mineral rights.

CDH-21-103 (see press release dated October 6, 2021) intercepted 2,035 gpt silver over 6 meters within 808 gpt silver over 17 meters and a wider width interval of 333 gpt silver over 44 meters, in the JZ Vein Area; representing a very prospective high-grade target at Columba. Additional drill highlights in the JZ Area include intercepts found in hole CDH-20-030 (415 gpt silver over 11.15 meters including 721 gpt silver over 4.07 meters) and hole CDH-20-060 (132 gpt silver over 64 meters including 361 gpt silver over 11 meters including 608 gpt silver over 5.0 meters, and 1,160 gpt silver over 1.0 meters all within 229 gpt silver over 22 meters).

Two other areas of immediate interest for the Company at Columba include the F Vein and B Vein Areas. Highlights of previous drilling along the F Vein including its hanging-wall system include holes CDH-19-041 (650 gpt silver over 7.45 meters within a wider interval of 159 gpt silver over 39.9 meters) and CDH-20-051 (865 gpt silver over 2 meters within a wider interval of 317 gpt silver over 6 meters in the hanging-wall vein adjacent to the F Vein). Potential of the B Vein is highlighted by hole CDH-20-084 which returned a high-grade drill interval of 1,186 gpt silver over 4.6 meters within a wider interval of 112 gpt silver over 70.5 meters.

Sampling and QA/QC at Columba
All technical information for the Columba exploration program is obtained and reported under a formal quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") program. Samples are taken from core cut in half with a diamond saw under the direction of qualified geologists and engineers. Samples are then labeled, placed in plastic bags, sealed and with interval and sample numbers recorded. Samples are delivered by the Company to ALS Minerals ("ALS") in Chihuahua. The samples are dried, crushed and pulverized with the pulps being sent airfreight for analysis by ALS in Vancouver, B.C. Systematic assaying of standards, blanks and duplicates is performed for precision and accuracy. Analysis for silver, zinc, lead and copper and related trace elements was done by ICP four acid digestion, with gold analysis by 30-gram fire assay with an AA finish. All drilling reported is HQ core and has been contracted to Globexplore Drilling from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.

KOOTENAY SILVER REPORTS SECOND PLUS 12,000 GRAM-METER SILVER INTERCEPT AT COLUMBA HIGH GRADE SILVER PROJECT, MEXICO

Highlights Include: 453 gpt Silver over 29.9 Meters including 650 gpt Silver over 17.8 Meters and 932 gpt Silver over 6 Meters

November 3, 2021

Kootenay Silver Inc. (TSXV: KTN) (the “Company” or “Kootenay”)
is pleased to announce multiple high-grade drill results from three holes intercepting the D Vein located on the Columba High-Grade Silver Project in Chihuahua State, Mexico.

The D Vein is situated approximately 600 meters southwest from the F Vein where most of the historic production has taken place on the property. Results from the recent drill holes intercepting the D Vein include a high-grade silver intercept grading 13,545 gram-meters in hole CDH-21-110. Gram-meters are defined as grams per tonne multiplied by meters drilled (459 gpt silver times 29.9 meters). This is the second highest intercept to date. CDH-21-103 returned the high of 14,652 gram-meters (333 gpt silver times 44 meters).

Drill Highlights from holes CDH-21-108 to CDH-21-110 are as follows:

BDH 21-110:
* 453 gpt silver over 29.9 meters;
including

* 650 gpt silver over 17.8 meters; including

* 932 gpt silver over 6 meters

* Intercept includes a high of 1,915 gpt silver over 0.85 meters

BDH 21-109:
* 193 gpt silver over 14.56 meters;
including

* 294 gpt silver over 7.11 meters; including

* 476 gpt silver over 2.31 meters

* Intercept includes a high of 592 gpt silver over 0.75 meters

BDH 21-108:
* 98 gpt silver over 77 meters;
including

* 328 gpt silver over 11 meters; including

* 504 gpt silver over 5.9 meters

* Intercept includes a high of 1,100 gpt silver over 1.0 meter

* All hosted in wide mineralized zone averaging 57 gpt silver over 166 meters

These three holes were completed to follow-up on previous drill results which demonstrated high-grade silver potential within the D Vein. Earlier holes drilled along the D Vein included hole CDH-20-079 returning 525 gpt silver over 1.58 meters within 5.35 meters of 290 gpt silver and hole CDH-19-022 returning 373 gpt silver over 1.5 meters within 6.25 meters of 244 gpt silver. Drill hole CDH-21-110 happens to be the second richest intercept at Columba to date on a gram per meters basis. It is also the deepest drill test on the D Vein to date hitting the vein at about a 1650-meter elevation. Higher silver grades have been typically intercepted at and below this elevation across many of the veins at Columba and these recent results continue to confirm the Company’s general exploration model.

The Columba veins are exposed at the very top of epithermal level and as such management believes what is exposed at surface is only a very small part of whatever was deposited. The D Vein is a good example as values at surface averaged about 100 gpt silver over narrow intervals yet 150 meters vertically below is an intercept of 453 gpt silver over 29.9 meters.

Surface mapping has traced the D Vein at surface for at least 500 meters and aerial images indicate it continues beyond that. Drilling has scarcely tested only 180 meters of strike length.

Kootenay President and CEO, James McDonald states, “These results demonstrate excellent potential for the definition and development of high-grade resources at Columba. The D Vein now represents another area with multiple high-grade intercepts which increases the probability that Columba hosts a viable high grade silver resource.”

Gustavo Gallego, Kootenay’s Chief Geologic Engineer adds, “These results at the D vein encourage us to propose more drilling to define a high-grade silver resource in the near future. We are confident that we will continue to find high-grade silver and thus confirm the interpretations we have developed from our surface mapping program."

Notes: Notes: All widths are drilled widths. At this time the true widths are estimated to be between 45 and 60% of drilled widths for these holes. Additional drilling could change this interpretation. All silver composites rounded to the nearest whole number.


Further results from the 2021 - Phase 3 Drill Program will be released as they are received and analysed by the Kootenay team.
