Vancouver, B.C. - TheNewswire - October 21, 2019 - Gitennes Exploration Inc. ("Gitennes" or the "Company") (TSXV:GIT) (OTC:GILXF) announces diamond drilling is underway on its Snowbird High Grade Gold Project located near Fort St. James, British Columbia. The programme which is focused on the Main Zone is progressing well with four holes completed and all four holes have intersected quartz veins of varying widths with core recoveries averaging 96 percent. Several of the holes in the programme will be oriented in directions not previously drilled as Gitennes will test the down dip extension of the Main Zone as mineralization appears to be steepening at depth and test potential cross structures. This is the Company’s third phase of diamond drilling at Snowbird and will be approximately 2,000 metres in ten holes.

The drill sites selected have the objective of intersecting high grade gold mineralization encountered by previous operators in diamond drilling; trenching and underground workings (see tables below). Gitennes’ review of historic drilling in combination with contemporary drilling from its Phase I and II programmes suggests that the gold mineralization in quartz veins steepens at depth. By drilling holes in directions previously not drilled this programme will more efficiently test the Main Zone at depth as almost all historical drilling has been to an average vertical depth of approximately 75 metres.

Gold in quartz veins is predominantly hosted within 10 metres of the footwall contact between the overlying mudstone altered ultramafic.
