Gitennes Exploration' Acquisition of High Grade Gold-Silver Maroon Project Receives Exchange Approval
Vancouver, June 4, 2018 - Gitennes Exploration Inc. (TSXV - GIT) announces that further to its release dated May 10 on the acquisition of the high grade gold-silver Maroon Project it has received TSX Venture Exchange approval. Gitennes has the right to acquire 100% of the high grade Maroon gold-silver Project which is located 35 km north of Terrace, British Columbia. The Maroon Project acquisition continues Gitennes' recent strategy of focusing on high grade gold properties that can be progressed relatively quickly to the drill stage. The Company plans surface exploration over the next couple of months follow by a diamond drill programme.
Mineralization at Maroon is within a structural corridor containing multiple, sediment-hosted high-grade polymetallic quartz-sulfide veins (Au-Ag-Cu-Zn-Pb). Exposed veins are greater than one metre wide, have been traced along surface for up to 1,800 metres and remain open to the northeast, southwest and at depth.
Exploration in the 1920's and 1930's led to the discovery of a number of outcropping auriferous polymetallic quartz sulphide veins hosted within greywackes and siltstones, concentrated approximately 30 metres below a 35 to 70 metre thick conglomerate bed. The BC Minister of Mines Annual Report from 1928 mentions a shipment of 25 tons of material from the Bear Vein (BC Minfile 103I 030) on adjacent claims that yielded the following grades:
-
- 1.48 ozs/t gold, 4.6 ozs/t silver, 8.4% zinc and 4.9% lead *
The Bear Vein can be traced for approximately 1.8 km on Gitennes' property and limited diamond drilling over a short strike length returned the following results *:
-
-
- 0.63 metres grading 26.1 g/t gold, 32.6 g/t silver, 2.97% zinc and 1.62% lead;
- 0.30 metres grading 18.9 g/t gold, 117 g/t silver, 3.89% zinc and 6.20% lead;
- 0.43 metres grading 5.9 g/t gold, 56.1 g/t silver, 8.6% zinc and 3.00% lead

Surface sampling to date by previous operators has yielded multiple gram gold grades over widths of up to three metres. Two lenses of good grade material have been identified from surface sampling; these include a southwest lens with an averaging 8.98 grams/tonne gold over an average sample width of 1.43 metres and a strike length of 168 metres and a northeast lens grading 21.93 grams/tonne gold over an average sample width of 1.24 metres and a strike length of 140 metres.
