(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, B.C. - TheNewswire - August 4, 2021: Gitennes Exploration Inc. ("Gitennes" or the "Company") – (TSXV:GIT) announces it has acquired 100% interest in two gold properties and one copper property in the Gaspe Region of Quebec (Figure 1). The two gold properties cover geology and structure that is similar to recent gold discoveries in Newfoundland. In addition, one of the properties (VG Boulder Property) has historically reported gold in outcrop plus angular boulders with visible gold. The gold mineralization in the region is traditionally hosted by splay faults from a major regional structure called the Grand Pabos Fault. This major fault zone can be traced across the entire Gaspe Peninsula and into Newfoundland where major gold discoveries have been made.

Regional Context and Discussion

Recent research has revealed that gold mineralization is related to the Ordovician to Silurian-aged closing of the Iapetus Ocean. This ancient suture in the earth’s crust extends from North America, through the Gaspe Peninsula, Newfoundland, across the Atlantic Ocean to Ireland (Figure 5). Major gold deposits are associated with this event in Newfoundland and Ireland and structure is found to be a key aspect of these deposits and the critical control of gold mineralization including gold mineralization in the Gaspe Region of Quebec.
