Gitennes’ Third Phase of Diamond Drilling Underway at its Snowbird High
Grade Gold Project
Vancouver, B.C., - October 21, 2019 - Gitennes Exploration Inc. ("Gitennes" or the "Company")
- (TSXV – GIT) 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.
