Gitennes Finds Visible Gold and Adds Claims on its VG Boulder Property, Gaspe Region of Quebec
Vancouver, November 30, 2021 - Gitennes Exploration Inc. ("Gitennes" or the "Company") - (TSXV:GIT) announces that visible gold was found in two locations on its 100% owned VG Boulder Property ("the Property") during a recently completed reconnaissance programme (Figure 1 and 2). The programme also located a new showing on the Property containing anomalous antimony, arsenic and cobalt. To cover additional favourable geology along structures that control mineralization in the Gaspe Region the Company has increased the size of the Property. Property Highlights
-
Visible gold found in boulders in two ocations on the Property;
-
Locations are 50 metres apart and in the vicinity of historically reported visible gold in large angular boulders (58 g/t) (Figure 3);
-
Associated Antimony, Arsenic and Cobalt mineralization in a new location;
-
-
Property increased from 1,250 hectares to 5,787 hectares to cover favourable geology along major structure and splays. New claims cover 14 km strike of the prospective Grand Pabos Fault Zone, same fault as found in Newfoundland (Figure 4);
-
Historically reported old (22.4 g/t) and ntimony (15.4%) in outcrop;
-
Property covers geology and structure that is similar to recent gold discoveries in Newfoundland.

Ken Booth, President commented: "The results from Gitennes initial programme are very encouraging. To find visible gold in two locations further highlights how prospective the VG Boulder Property is and validates historically reported high grade gold in boulders and outcrop. With the addition of approximately 4,500 hectares Gitennes has now established a major foothold in the area and the new claims cover prospective geology and the key structures which appear to control the gold mineralization. The main structure on the Gitennes claims, The Grand Pabos fault, is the same key structure that is host to the recent discoveries of high grade gold in Newfoundland. Gitennes looks forward to the next programmes on VG Boulder which will consist of an airborne magnetomer/electromagnetic ("EM") geophysical survey and follow up ground work in early 2022".
The Company also announces that it has increased the size of the VG Boulder Property to cover additional favourable geology and key structures that are associated with gold mineralization in the area. The property size has been increased to 101 claims (5787 hectares) (Figure 3). The new claims cover 14 km strike length of the prospective New Pabos Fault Zone

The VG Boulder Property is located in the Gaspe Region of Quebec (Figure 5) and covers geology and structure that is similar to recent gold discoveries in Newfoundland. The gold mineralization in the region is traditionally hosted by structures related to the Grand Pabos Fault, a major regional structure that can be traced across the entire Gaspe Peninsula and into Newfoundland where major gold discoveries have been made recently (Figure 4).

Regional Context and Discussion
Recent research has revealed that gold mineralization is related to the Ordovician to Silurian-aged closing of the Iapetus Ocean. This ancient suture in the earth's crust extends from North America, through the Gaspe Peninsula, Newfoundland, across the Atlantic Ocean to Ireland (Figure 4). Major gold deposits are associated with this event in Newfoundland and Ireland and structure is found to be a key aspect of these deposits and the critical control of gold mineralization including gold mineralization in the Gaspe Region of Quebec.
