Gitennes Exploration Signs Agreement to Acquire Advanced Stage, High Grade Gold Project in BC and Appoints New Director

16.02.2017  |  CNW
VANCOUVER, Feb.16, 2017 - Gitennes Exploration Inc. ("Gitennes" or the "Company") (TSXV – GIT) announces that it has entered into a Letter Agreement (the " Agreement") with a private company, Omineca Gold Ltd. ("Omineca"), whereby the Company will be granted the exclusive right to acquire an undivided 100% interest in and to Omineca's advanced stage, high grade Snowbird gold project, located near Fort St. James, British Columbia (the "Snowbird Project").


Snowbird Project Highlights

Past exploration activities carried out on the Snowbird Project include:
- 91 diamond drill holes totaling 9,340 meters;
- 164 percussion holes totaling 2,535 meters;
- Extensive soil sampling, geological mapping and geophysics;
- Digitized database incorporating historical work from 1975 onwards; and
- Diamond drilling permits in place.

Selected historical diamond drill results include:
- 23.9 g/t gold over 0.91 meters;
- 18.5 g/t gold over 2.44 meters;
- 48.0 g/t gold over 1.0 meters.

Readers are cautioned that a "qualified person" (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) has not yet completed sufficient work to be able to verify the historical information, and therefore the information should not be relied upon.


Overview of the Snowbird Project

The Snowbird Project consists of eight mineral tenures, comprising an aggregate area of 2,021 hectares, located approximately 20 kilometers west of Fort St. James, British Columbia. The project is accessible year round via paved and dirt roads and sits at a relatively low elevation with moderate relief (not exceeding 190 meters) allowing access to all parts of the property and enabling cost effective diamond drilling programmes.


Mineralization

The Snowbird Project hosts structurally controlled orogenic gold mineralization. Gold occurs in veins and stringer zones localized within the northwest-trending Sowchea Fault Zone and associated subsidiary structures. Better developed quartz-carbonate veins and stringer zones, and higher gold grades, occur at the hangingwall and footwall contacts of the host shear zone. Rare coarse gold and massive stibnite is associated with cross-cutting north-south faults, which have not been adequately tested by prior drill orientations. Gold mineralization also occurs in a poorly explored, narrow elongate body of sericite-muscovite altered quartz diorite to tonalite intrusive outcrops east of the Sowchea Fault Zone. The major host lithologies on the Snowbird Project are argillite, chert, Alpine-type ultramafics (harzburgite), andesite, granodiorite, diorite and minor limestone.

Drilling in previous campaigns has been carried out over approximately 800 metres of the prospective Sowchea Fault Zone to a vertical depth of 180 metres. Drill hole X 86-7 intersected 1.0 metre of 24.5 g/t gold from 28.04 m to 29.04 metres and hole X 88-13 intersected 1.0 metre of 48.0 g/t from 109.72 m to 110.72 m (Readers are cautioned that a "qualified person" (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) has not yet completed sufficient work to be able to verify the historical information, and therefore the information should not be relied upon).


The Agreement

Subject to acceptance for filing of the Agreement by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"), the Agreement provides that Gitennes may earn a 100% interest in the Snowbird Project by making share payments to the shareholders of Omineca and incurring certain exploration expenditures as follows:

                               Number of Common Shares      Minimum Exploration
Date for Completion to be Issued Expenditures to be Incurred
Upon TSX-V acceptance for filing

On or before September 30, 2020 2,000,000 $500,000
TOTAL: 12,000,000 $1,500,000

Upon making the above share issuances and exploration expenditures, Gitennes will own 100% of the Snowbird Project subject only to a 2% net smelter returns ("NSR") royalty to a maximum of $1,300,000 and reverting to a 1% NSR royalty with no cap thereafter.
