Gitennes Continues To Intersect High Grade Gold and Has Extended Gold Mineralization at Depth at the Snowbird High Grade Project

(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, B.C. - TheNewswire - December 12, 2019 - Gitennes Exploration Inc. ("Gitennes" or the "Company") (TSXV:GIT) (OTC:GILXF) announces that it has received results from is recently completed 2,000 metre Phase III diamond drilling on its Snowbird High Grade Gold Project located near Fort St. James, British Columbia. The Company continues to intersect high grade gold and with the drilling of the deepest hole yet on the Project Gitennes has extended gold mineralization approximately 100 metres vertically below any previous gold intersections.

Highlights from Phase III Drilling

- 19.3 g/t gold and 33.5 g/t silver over 0.6 metres in hole SB19-06

- 18.3 g/t gold over 0.5 metres in hole SB19-06

- 9.7 g/t gold over 1.2 metres in hole SB19-07
- - Including 12.95 g/t gold over 0.7 metres

The high grade gold intersected in drill holes SB19-06 and SB19-07 is associated with bands of locally massive antimony. The intersections were in proximity to the historic “Main Vein” adit. Generally, there is a strong correlation between gold grades and arsenic with many of the samples assaying approximately 0.1% arsenic. In the 400 metre deep SB19-10 drill hole the Company intersected 1.53 g/t gold and 0.17% arsenic over 0.92 metres at a depth of 239 metres indicating the potential for high grade gold mineralization deeper in the structure. Importantly, the hole did not cross the ultramafic-mudstone contact at a vertical depth of 350 metres. This indicates that the potential for continued quartz-vein hosted gold mineralization is maintained as quartz veining is consistently in close proximity to the footwall contact of the ultramafic and hanging wall of the mudstone units. While high grade gold was not intersected in all holes, seven of ten holes intersected gold grades in excess of 1.0 g/t.

Selected Drill Intersections

With the completion of the Phase III programme Gitennes has drilled 30 holes totaling approximately 4,820 metres. The Phase III drilling programme has again confirmed the presence of high grade gold at Snowbird but it also has indicated that any future drilling will require that a substantial component of the programme be holes at least 400 metres in length. These deep holes will focus on testing the interface between the ultramafic and mudstone units where Gitennes has consistently intersected its highest grades.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)

Gitennes maintains a rigorous quality assurance/quality control program at the Snowbird Project. Selected core intervals were sawn in half and each sample half was placed in a marked sample bag with a corresponding sample tag, and then sealed. The remaining half core is retained in core boxes that are stored at a secure facility in Smithers, British Columbia. Chain of custody of samples was recorded and maintained for all samples from the drill to the laboratory.

All diamond drilling sample batches included 17% QA/QC samples consisting of certified blanks, standards and field duplicates. Four certified ore assay laboratory standards and one blank standard were used in the process and were supplied by CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. of North Vancouver, B.C and ORE Research and Exploration Pty Ltd. (through Analytical Solutions of Toronto, Ontario). Samples were submitted to ALS Global in North Vancouver, British Columbia, an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ISO 9001: 2015 certified lab. Samples were prepared by crushing the entire sample to 75% passing 2mm, riffle splitting 250g and pulverizing the split to better than 85% passing 75 microns. Gold was analyzed using a 30 gram fire assay/AAS and the 36 element analysis was done by ICP-AES/ICP-MS. Over limit gold results were re-analyzed by total metallic screening followed by AAS.
