Vancouver, B.C. - TheNewswire - April 21, 2021: Gitennes Exploration Inc. ("Gitennes" or the "Company") – (TSXV:GIT) (OTC:GILXF) announces it has commenced diamond drilling on its New Mosher Gold Property. The first phase of drilling is planned for a minimum of 2,500 metres and will initially target areas of Induced Polarization, (“IP”) high chargeability, geophysical anomalies that are associated with historic gold values in diamond drilling (see Figure 1). The identified chargeability anomalies are similar in orientation and intensity to gold bearing structures at the nearby Joe Mann Mine. New Mosher is located three kilometres from the past producing, Joe Mann Mine (see Figure 2) which produced approximately 1.2 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 8.3 g/t gold(1) plus silver and copper.
The drill program will be the first diamond drilling on the New Mosher Property since the late 1980’s. Two previous drill programs consisting of limited shallow drill holes intersected gold on two of the Gitennes IP anomalies. Additional IP anomalies have been detected both historically and in a recent survey and will be tested with the present drill program.
Diamond drilling in the 1980’s intersected (see Anomaly A, Figure 1):
-
- 8.1 g/t gold over 0.25 metres;
- 187 g/t gold over 5.1 metres
In the mid-1950’s drilling intersected gold in four of five holes (see Anomaly B, Figure 1):
-
- 3.40 g/t over 0.7m* at a down-hole depth of 65.2m,
- 1.28 g/t over 3.0m* at a down-hole depth of 57.9m,
- 0.87 g/t over 0.3m* at a down-hole depth of 41.7m and
- 0.29 g/t over 0.9m* at a down-hole depth of 37.7m.
