Vancouver, B.C. - TheNewswire - December 15, 2020 - Gitennes Exploration Inc. ("Gitennes" or the "Company") (TSXV:GIT) (OTC:GILXD) announces that it has staked 119 claims totaling 6,642 ha approximately 14 km south of Chapais, Quebec, six km west of the Monster Lake high grade gold property currently being explored by Iamgold and 18 km northeast of the 100% owned Gitennes JMW gold property. (see location map below). With its focus and recent work in the Chapais-Chibougamau area Gitennes staked the new property after review of government reports, surveys and assessment reports and concluded the geology was more prospective than had been previously mapped by previous operators. The new property also contains several anomalous areas of gold in till sampling and copper mineralization in drill holes and surface sampling (see Figure 1).
As a result of the research done by Gitennes, it was realized that what was previously mapped as tonalitic rocks were actually a package mafic to felsic volcanics rocks cut by multiple northeast trending fault structures. Historical drilling, although sparse, intersected semi massive to massive sulphides associated with geophysical conductive zones.
