GITENNES SECOND PHASE DIAMOND DRILL PROGRAMME COMMENCES AT NEW MOSHER GOLD PROPERTY, CHAPAIS-CHIBOUGAMAU AREA, QUEBEC

Gitennes Exploration Inc. has commenced the second phase of diamond drilling at its New Mosher gold property, Chapais-Chibougamau area of Quebec. Two holes have been completed and both holes successfully intersected the mineralized zone at the New Mosher showing. The New Mosher showing is the focus of the second phase of drilling which is planned for a minimum of 1,000 metres.

In the first phase of drilling the company encountered significant widths of anomalous gold (see highlights). In addition to Gitennes' encouraging results from the first diamond drill program the New Mosher showing has gold in historical drilling, 8.1 grams per tonne gold over 0.25 metre and 1.87 g/t gold over 5.1 metres and grab samples assaying 16 g/t gold and 5.66 g/t gold.

Highlights of first diamond drilling program

• Gold intersected over significant widths:
  • 22 metres in hole NM 21-02 grading 0.25 g/t gold;
  • Nine metres in hole NM 21-11 grading 0.71 g/t gold;
  • Five metres in hole NM 21-08 grading 0.68 g/t gold;
• Gold intersections are shallow;
• 10 of 19 holes intersected anomalous gold mineralization;
• All three areas tested intersected gold mineralization;
• Broad zones of gold mineralization correlate well with previously identified induced polarization anomalies;
  • Associated with intense alteration with quartz-carbonate veining, pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite.

The New Mosher property is located three kilometres from the past-producing Joe Mann mine which produced approximately 1.2 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 8.3 g/t gold (1.) plus silver and copper.
