Gitennes Recent Drilling Contains Visible Gold in Highly Silicified Zone, New
Mosher Gold Property, Chapais-Chibougamau area, Quebec
Vancouver, B.C., - February 23, 2022: Gitennes Exploration Inc. ("Gitennes" or the "Company")
- (TSXV – GIT) announces that visible gold was observed in a highly silicified and sheared zone
in Hole NM-22-04 (see Figure 2). As previously announced, the Company recently completed
seven holes totaling 1,002 metres with six of the holes being drilled at the New Mosher Showing
( see Figure 1) on its New Mosher gold property, Chapais-Chibougamau area of Quebec (see
Figure 3).
Hole NM-22-04 was collared approximately 50 metres from the New Mosher Showing and the
visible gold was observed 19 metres downhole and is located at the contact of a quartz vein
within mafic volcanics. The highly silicified intersections that contained the visible gold are up to
23 metres in width and contain up to four percent pyrite and 0.5% pyrrhotite as fine
disseminations or concentrated in schistosity and fracture planes. These zones are also
sheared and contain up to 60% to 80% quartz with some displaying chlorite and sericite
alteration.
Drill core samples have been sent for analysis with assays expected late March or early April.
