Kintavar Exploration Initiates Maiden Drilling Program on the 100% Owned Mitchi Property
Montreal, Quebec, December 13, 2017 – Kintavar Exploration Inc. (the “ Corporation” or
“Kintavar”) (TSX-V: KTR), is pleased to announce the start of the maiden drilling program on the
folded stratiform copper-silver project located 100 km north of Mont Laurier, Quebec and 50 km
south of Parent and a railroad leading to Rouyn-Noranda.
Highlights of the drilling program
Maiden drilling program on the recently discovered folded stratiform Cu-Ag project
Minimum of 1,000 meters in approximately 12 drill holes
Focus on the Sherlock-Watson southern corridor
East and west extensions of the showings identified during the summer will be tested as
well as historical drilling by Noranda from 1971
Three (3) parallel IP anomalies which correspond on surface to the Sherlock and Watson
3 showings will be tested
“This maiden drilling program at the Mitchi property has been a high priority for Kintavar and our
team has done an exceptional job completing the permitting and community engagement s to
initiate the planned drilling for this winter. We are very pleased to have the support of the local
communities and the First Nations as we move to the next step of exploration on the Mitchi
property. A folded stratiform Cu -Ag system in the Grenville is a new setting and geological
environment that has never been explored in this region before. We are currently focusing the
drilling on the southern corridor to better understand the mineralized system on a regional
scale. This drilling program will allow us to better expand our exploration efforts 4 km to the east
and to the west of the Sherlock and Watson showings as demonstrated by the airborne
geophysics and to begin working on the northern Nasigon corridor. ” commented Kiril
Mugerman, President and CEO of Kintavar Exploration.
About the Mitchi Property
The Mitchi property (approx. 21,000 hectares, 100% owned) is located west of the
Mitchinamecus reservoir, 100 km north of the town of Mont -Laurier. The propert y covers an
area of more than 21 0 km2 accessible by a network of logging and gravel roads with a hydro-
electric power substation located 14 km to the east. The property is located in the north-western
portion of the central metasedimentary belt of the Grenville geological province. Many gold,
- 2 -
copper, silver and manganese mineralized showings have bee n identified to date, with many
characteristics suggesting of a sediment -hosted stratiforme copper type deposit (SSC) in the
Eastern portion of the property and Iron Oxide Copper Gold ore (IOCG) and skarn type deposits
in the Western portion . Osisko Mining holds a 2% NSR on 39 claims and 1% NSR on 21 other
