Vancouver, November 9, 2017 - Gitennes Exploration Inc. ("Gitennes" or the "Company") provides results from soil sampling completed over an area proximal to the North Zone where the Company's high resolution, ground magnetometer survey previously outlined magnetic low features potentially associated with the Snowbird mineralized structure. The Snowbird High Grade Gold Project is located in north central BC and is accessible year round via paved and dirt roads.
The soil survey was completed on an approximate 100 metre spaced reconnaissance grid lines with samples taken approximately every 25 metres. A total of 64 samples were taken in September and October and sent for analysis to ALS Global. Results of work by previous operators on the Snowbird Project indicate a strong correlation between gold mineralization and stibnite ("antimony") and arsenopyrite ("arsenic") which are key indicator minerals in many gold deposits similar to Snowbird. Gitennes' sampling results are encouraging as both antimony and arsenic in soil were found to be in anomalous concentrations over an area highlighted by the ground magnetometer survey and to the southwest of the main structure (see figures below). Log-probability plots were used to identify changes in sample populations and thus identify anomalous levels of indicator elements. Arsenic was found to be anomalous at levels of 28 ppm and above while it was found to be 2.8 ppm for antimony.

The clustering of "off grid line" responses reflects the October follow-up of the September sampling. The follow-up confirmed that the initial anomaly was reproducible and has areal extent. The coincidence of the magnetometer low and the anomalous antimony and arsenic in soils provides a new and promising target for Gitennes to follow up on during its next phase of exploration.
The Company also announces that it has begun the process of permitting its drill programmes for 2018.
