Vancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / November 3, 2017 - Gitennes Exploration Inc. ("Gitennes" or the "Company") has completed six diamond drill holes on its Snowbird High Grade Gold Project located in north central BC. The Snowbird project is accessible year round via paved and dirt roads and sits at a relatively low elevation with moderate relief (not exceeding 190 metres). The ease of access to all parts of the property enables cost effective diamond drilling throughout the entire year.
High grade historical gold results at Snowbird are directly associated with listwanite, a carbonatized-silicified serpentinite. Listwanite is also associated with several multi-million ounce gold deposits in BC and the Motherlode District in California. Gitennes has intersected listwanite in all of its holes drilled in the current programme.
Gitennes is drilling a minimum of 1,000 metres of core in this phase focusing on the North and Main Zones along the Snowbird structure. The Company's field work over the past several months has delineated the strike extent of the Snowbird gold bearing structure for over 2.5 kilometres. The favourable host rocks intersected in the drilling are being cut with a core saw and all cut samples will be submitted to ALS Global upon completion of this phase for analysis. In order to maintain the highest confidence and integrity in analytical results Gitennes' sampling protocol requires that commercially vetted standards and blanks are systematically inserted into the sample sequence. Duplicate samples are also being taken in order to provide a check on analyses. The results of this programme will be used to plan the Company's next phase of diamond drilling.
