GITENNES EXPLORATION - UPDATE ON TOTOROKO
DRILLING
Vancouver, November 13, 2007:
Gitennes Exploration Inc. (TSX-GIT) is pleased to advise that drilling
is getting underway at the TotoRoko Property. This drill programme, the first on the
property, will comprise up to 1,500 metres of core drilling and is expected to
be completed by the middle of December.
TotoRoko is a
new copper prospect situated in southern Peru. Copper mineralization at TotoRoko is
hosted within massive Jurassic-aged tuffs that have been extensively altered by
later hydrothermal activity. Copper minerals occurs as disseminated and
fracture-controlled zones of mineralization, often associated with zones of
strongly developed replacement feldspar with lesser amounts of magnetite,
epidote and garnet. A 4,500 metre � long target area is recognized, however
initial drilling will be centred on a 1,300 metre long area at Cerro TotoRoko
that is distinguished by abundant mineralization, strong alteration and a well
defined induced polarization geophysical anomaly. Here secondary copper
minerals, formed during weathering, include chrysocola, malachite and azurite
that appear to have formed from the primary copper sulphide minerals bornite and
chalcopyrite. The southeastern edge
of the geophysical anomaly is marked by a sharp break that closely matches the
north-striking Canta�a target, a cross-cutting, 1,000 metre-long zone of
brecciation, fracturing, and clay alteration. This 2.0 to 10.0 metre-wide target
contains silver and gold-bearing zones of secondary iron oxide minerals and
variably silicified breccia. Chip sample results (previously released) range
from 177 to 1,230 g/t silver and up to 1.7 g/t gold across sample widths of two
to three metres. Several drill holes are planned to test this
zone.
On-going
mapping, rock-chip sampling and prospecting continues to both expand and fill-in
the zones of copper mineralization at TotoRoko. A new but related area of
mineralization has been found along an altered and mineralized structure that
extends at least 500 metres southeast of Cerro TotoRoko. Rock chip samples recently taken from
this new zone yielded 2.0 metres of 0.78% Cu and 34 g/t Ag and 2.6 metres of
0.64% Cu.
TotoRoko is a
5,000-hectare property located in the dry coastal mountains of southwest Peru.
The property is accessible by truck, and is located in a sparsely settled area
at an elevation of 3,400 metres. Principal economic activities in the region are
mining and farming.
Work at TotoRoko
is supervised by J. Foster (P.Geo) and A. Fernandez-Baca (P.Geo). Analytical
services are provided by ALS Chemex in Lima, Peru. The technical information in
