Gitennes Exploration Inc. (GIT:TSX)) is an established exploration-oriented company focused on the gold, silver, zinc and copper exploration in Peru. The Company has been listed in Canada since 1993 and traded on the TSX since January of 1998.

The TotoRoko property is located in the department of Arequipa, southern Peru, approximately 510 kilometres southeast of Lima. The copper-silver mineralization at TotoRoko was discovered through in-house prospecting and was staked based upon the strong oxide copper mineralization at surface and its gross geological setting which is similar to that of the IOCG-type (Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold) deposits found in northern Chile. There is no evidence of prior work on the property, however there is considerable competitor activity in the region, exploring for similar deposits.

Surface mineralization at TotoRoko is oxidized, with secondary copper minerals such as chalcocite and malachite being observed in outcrop. Rock textures indicate that the original sulphide minerals occurred as disseminations. matrix-fillings or along fractures in silicified and metasomatized volcanic tuffs and volcanically-derived sediments. In addition to copper, associated silver may be significant. Grab, chip and panel samples taken from outcrops within the 3,500-metre long mineralised horizon often assay over 1% Cu and over one ounce per ton silver, with highly anomalous gold.

The Tucumachay property a sediment-hosted gold prospect acquired from Inmet Mining Corp. Gold at Tucumachay is disseminated in Jurassic limestone, sandstone and shale, associated with zones of silicification, solution collapse, and carbonaceous fault zones. Gold mineralization is concentrated along the western limb and hinge zone of a major fold. The eastern limb is mineralized with a series of high-grade zinc showing that extend onto the 100%-held Titimina Property.

Gitennes has completed three drill programmes on the gold zones, outlining a large area of low-grade mineralization at surface.

The Urumalqui property is an epithermal gold/silver vein prospect. Exploration work on Urumalqui has found four principal vein systems, one of which has been traced on surface and by drilling over a continuous distance of 1700 m, to depths of 220 m with an average exposed width of 3 m. Other Peruvian projects include the Rio Seco (Cu-Mo-Au), and Lapidem (Ag) properties.

Gitennes is an exploration company that acquires early-stage projects, likes fronteer environments and has a cost-effective approach to property exploration and development. Always looking for new opportunities, the Company is not focused on any single mineral commodity, preferring instead to hunt for opportunities that show size and scope in a political jurisdiction and location that make commercial sense.
