Highlights of the Completed Drill Programme:

• - All holes successfully intersected altered and mineralized zones with quartz-carbonate veining and sulphide mineralization. All holes that targeted Induced Polarization, chargeability anomalies were successful in explaining the anomalies with intersected sulphide mineralization.

  - Five holes have been drilled on the New Mosher gold zone and along Anomaly A;

  • - Holes showed extensive quartz-carbonate veining, locally sericitic, and several metres wide in a deformation corridor (Figure 1)

    - Sulphide mineralization includes pyrite, pyrrhotite with local chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite.

  - Five holes drilled along Anomaly B which has been associated with historical gold intersections in diamond drill holes;

  • - Holes have intersected quartz-carbonate veining mineralized with pyrite, pyrrhotite and traces of arsenopyrite. XRF Analyzer detected arsenic and gold in the mineralized section (Figure 3).

    - Deeper holes have intersected a second zone of pyrrhotite mineralization with minor pyrite and chalcopyrite;

    - Garnet enrichment in the mafic volcanics has been observed near mineralization of the second zone.

    - Holes intersected several generations of quartz-feldspar porphyry dikes, some altered and mineralized.

New Showing:

A new showing was found associated with one of the numerous IP Chargeability anomalies detected in a survey completed last winter (see Figure 1). The showing was mechanically stripped, mapped and sampled. Analyses are pending. The showing was found to consist of several quartz veins hosted in altered mafic volcanics and some of the veins are in contact with what appears to be quartz feldspar porphyry. Mineralization consists of pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite. The New Showing is in an area of high chargeability that provided another viable target that was tested by diamond drilling. One drill hole was completed to test the New Showing. Initial examination revealed two heavily silicified, porphyritic zones with 1-2% pyrrhotite/pyrite from 6.7 to 18 metres downhole (exact width not known at this time) (Figure 4, 5 and 6).

Gitennes President Ken Booth commented: "The progress the Company has made in a short time with the New Mosher Property has been very good. We recognized the potential of the Property when a full review of historical data, including gold in drill holes, pits, trenches and surface samples, an IP geophysical survey was combined with Gitennes' recent work. Add to that the discovery of the New Showing and the decision was made to drill 3,000 metres. What the geologists have observed in the drill core is very encouraging and we have realized that we are just scratching the surface on the New Mosher property. Initial analyses for the drilling and surface work are expected in late June"

Gitennes also announces that it is conducting a non-brokered private placement (the "Placement") of up to 8,500,000 units (consisting of 3,500,000 non-flow-through units ("Units") priced at $0.09 per Unit and 5,000,000 flow-through units ("FT Units") priced at $0.11 per FT Unit). Each Unit consists of one non-flow-through common share and one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each flow-through unit consisting of one flow-through common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant ("FT Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price per Warrant Share of $0.15 for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date and each FT Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a "FT Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date. Finder's Fees of 7% cash and 7% warrants may be paid on the financing. The closing of the Placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
