Gitennes Commences Exploration on its Snowbird High Grade Gold Project; announces Closing of Second Tranche of Non-brokered Private Placement

Gitennes personnel have re-established road access to various zones on the Property including Main and Pegleg. Outcrop exposures of the Main and Pegleg zones were observed for at least 80 metres strike length and contained intense quartz-carbonate veining and mariposite alteration. Drilling in this area in the 1980s returned the following results:

Gitennes plans to carry out geophysics, surface mapping, and sampling during the first phase of exploration. The geophysics will consist of ground MAG with the aim of delineating the 4.8 kilometre long Sowchea shear zone as well as cross structures. Mapping will focus on identifying additional areas of mariposite alteration which is a key host of high grade gold mineralization at Snowbird. Mariposite, which is a chrome rich sericite, has been recognized at many high grade orogenic gold deposits in BC and California. Gitennes will also trace the locations of 88 core holes drilled in the 1980's; this would be helpful in future drilling by the Company.

Snowbird Project

The Snowbird high grade gold project was optioned by Gitennes in February 2017. The Project covers 7,120 hectares and is located 20 kilometres west of Fort St. James, British Columbia. Fort St. James is a full service community providing infrastructure and skilled manpower. The Project is orogenic in style and has been recognized as being similar to other lode gold systems that are associated with terrane boundary structures and ophiolite complexes within the Cordillera. Several well-known examples of significant past producers include the Motherlode District and Quartz Hill in California and in British Columbia, Rossland, Bralorne and Barkerville. The Snowbird Project has seen several periods of exploration with the last major program completed in 1989 consisting of diamond drilling. To date, 88 diamond holes have been completed on the Snowbird Project totaling 9,300 metres. The drilling was concentrated on only 1,100 metres of the approximately 4.8 km long Sowchea Fault.

Private Placement

The Company has now raised a total of $468,500 with the closing today of the second tranche of its previously announced Private Placement. The second tranche raised aggregate gross proceeds of $20,600 through the issuance of 90,900 non-flow through units at $0.055 per unit (for gross proceeds of $5,000) and 240,000 flow-through units at $0.065 per unit (for gross proceeds of $15,600). All securities issued in the Private Placement have a hold period of four months expiring on November 10, 2017. Each unit consists of one common share and one non-flow through common share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable for a period of 36 months from the closing of the first tranche of the Private Placement and has an exercise price of $0.085 for the non-flow through unit warrants and an exercise price of $0.10 for the flow-through unit warrants. The expiry date of the flow-through warrants and the non-flow through warrants will be accelerated if the closing price of the Company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") is at least $0.15 for a minimum of 20 consecutive trading days during the term commencing after four months from the issuance of the warrants. The Company will use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to fund exploration on its Canadian properties and for general corporate purposes. In addition, a total of $940 in cash and 14,400 warrants were paid in finder's fees on the second tranche.
