Vancouver, B.C. - TheNewswire - April 6, 2021 - Gitennes Exploration Inc. ("Gitennes" or the "Company") (TSXV:GIT) (OTC:GILXF) announces that RJLL Drilling will conduct the Company’s first phase of diamond drilling at the New Mosher gold property in the Chapais-Chibougamau area of Quebec (see Figure 2).  The first phase of drilling is planned for a minimum of 2,500 metres and is expected to commence in mid-April.  Diamond drilling will initially target areas of Induced Polarization, (“IP”) high chargeability, geophysical anomalies that are associated with historic gold values in diamond drilling.  The identified chargeability anomalies are similar in orientation and intensity to gold bearing structures at the nearby Joe Mann Mine.  New Mosher is located three kilometres from the past producing, Joe Mann Mine which produced approximately 1.2 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 8.3 g/t gold(1) plus silver and copper.

 

The upcoming drill programme will be the first diamond drilling on the New Mosher Property since the late 1980’s.  Two previous drill programmes consisting of limited shallow drill holes intersected gold on two of the Gitennes IP anomalies.  Many additional IP anomalies have been detected both historically and in a recent survey and will be tested with the present drill programme.

 

        Diamond drilling in the 1980’s intersected (see Anomaly A, Figure 1):

• - 8.1 g/t gold over 0.25 metres

  - 1.87 g/t gold over 5.1 metres

 

In the mid-1950’s drilling intersected gold in four of five holes (see Anomaly B, Figure 1):

• - 3.40 g/t over 0.7m* at a down-hole depth of 65.2m,

  - 1.28 g/t over 3.0m* at a down-hole depth of 57.9m,

  - 0.87 g/t over 0.3m* at a down-hole depth of 41.7m and

  - 0.29 g/t over 0.9m* at a down-hole depth of 37.7m.

 

Gitennes President Ken Booth commented “The Company is looking forward to the start of drilling later this month.  This is Gitennes first drill programme on its Quebec properties which are well located in a region that is host to several past gold producers and various high profile gold exploration projects.  Recent compilation work and geophysical surveys by Gitennes at New Mosher have revealed similarities between Joe Mann style mineralization, other gold mineralization in the area and the New Mosher Property.  The Company is confident that the planned drill programme will greatly aid in the geological interpretation of the New Mosher Property and understanding the gold mineralization thus far located on the Property and will be used to plan additional drill programmes.
