Gitennes Wins Second Place at Red Cloud Klondike Strike's "Crucible Event" and Begins Marketing its High Grade Gold Projects with Red Cloud's Assistance

At Red Cloud's 2019 Pre-PDAC Showcase, Gitennes was invited to participate in Red Cloud's inaugural "Crucible Event". Following presentations to mining industry professionals, fund managers and former gold mining analysts, Gitennes, as one of three finalists, placed second and was awarded complimentary advisory services by Red Cloud. Gitennes has since engaged Red Cloud to assist Gitennes with marketing its high grade gold exploration projects to a wider audience.

We are thrilled that the independent panel of experienced judges agreed with our investment thesis involving the exploration potential at our projects. Having Red Cloud assist us in our marketing efforts should give us the ability to attract a wider audience to our story so that we can drive shareholder value through a potential discovery. The Company plans on commencing a third phase of deeper diamond drilling in 2019 to follow up on the high grades found to date at Snowbird.

Ken Booth, President and CEO

The Company has completed two diamond drill programmes on its Snowbird High Grade Gold Project located near Fort St. James, British Columbia and has planned a third phase of diamond drilling. The planned Phase III drilling programme will focus on the Main Zone and will test the continuity of the mineralization at depth with drilling significantly deeper than all previous drilling with planned hole lengths averaging approximately 400 metres. The Snowbird Project's logistics allows for drilling year-round and cost efficient drilling which over the last two diamond drilling programmes averaged approximately C$175/metre all-in.

Main Zone Highlights - Snowbird Gold Project

The Main Zone is the focus for the planned Phase III drilling. The zone has consistently delivered high grade results either through historical adit and trench sampling; diamond drilling in the early and late-1980's or by Gitennes' two diamond drilling programmes (see tables below).

1. (1)Except for holes SB17-04 and SB18-06 readers are cautioned that a "qualified person" (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) has not yet completed sufficient work to be able to verify the historical information, and therefore the information should not be relied upon.

Based on Gitennes' work and a review of historical information, high-grade gold occurs within and adjacent to the 25 to 150 metre wide silica-carbonate altered ultramafic unit in areas of high deformation (faulting/shearing) and is associated with key pathfinder elements arsenic and antimony. Gold in quartz veins is predominantly hosted within 10 metres of the footwall contact between the overlying mudstone altered ultramafic.

Gitennes' review of historic drilling in combination with contemporary drilling from the Phase I and II programme suggests that the down dip extension of the Main Zone mineralization may steepen at depth. Phase III drilling will test this to depths of between 300 and 400 metres below surface. Note that almost all historical drilling has been to an average vertical depth of only about 75 metres. Success in this phase of drilling could triple the resource of the Main Zone.
