by either producing an inferred resource or conducting a PEA by September 30, 2025. Upon completion of an inferred resource
Gitennes will pay Kintavar $250,000 in cash or shares at Gitennes’ option and pay an additional $750,000 in cash only on
delivering a PEA. Gitennes will grant to Kintavar a 1.5% NSR on each property and Kintavar will grant Gitennes the right to
purchase at any time 1% for C$1.0 million.
“Kintavar continues to leverage its exploration experience in Quebec and to gradually divest its non-core assets while gaining
exposure to gold exploration through those transactions. We are very excited to work with Gitennes who recognized Quebec
as a mining-friendly jurisdiction and the gold exploration potential in this province.” commented Kiril Mugerman, President &
CEO of Kintavar Exploration.

About Kintavar Exploration & the Mitchi Property
Kintavar Exploration is a Canadian mineral exploration Corporation engaged in the acquisition, assessment, exploration and
development of gold and base metal mineral properties. Its flagship project is the Mitchi property (approx. 30,000 hectares,
100% owned) located west of the Mitchinamecus reservoir, 100 km north of the town of Mont-Laurier. The property covers an
area of more than 300 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, copper, silver and/or manganese mineralized showings have been identified to date, with many
characteristics suggesting of a sediment-hosted stratiform copper type mineralization (SSC) in the Eastern portion of the
property and Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) and skarn type mineralization in the Western portion. Osisko holds a 2% NSR on
27 claims of the southern portion of the Mitchi property, outside of the sedimentary basin. Kintavar also has exposure in the
gold greenstones of Quebec by advancing the Anik Gold Project in a partnership with IAMGOLD.
